This is absolutely priceless: Two House Republicans have cast votes as members of the 112th Congress, but were not sworn in on Wednesday, a violation of the Constitution on the same day that the GOP had the document read from the podium. The Republicans, incumbent Pete Sessions of Texas and freshman Mike Fitzpatrick, missed the […]
It couldn’t happen to a nicer guy either: The Republican National Committee has cancelled a fundraiser with conservative blogger Andrew Breitbart, who is under fire for promoting an edited video that falsely portrays former Agriculture Department employee Shirley Sherrod as having boasted about discriminating against a white farmer looking for her assistance. Breitbart was scheduled […]
The lady that Buffalo Spingfield lyrics were written for: The Minnesota Republican congresswoman who claimed that President Barack Obama nationalized “51 percent” of the economy has concocted a yet stranger fiction. She believes former President Bill Clinton is trying to “take me out.” “Because I’m using a statement like ‘gangster,’ I’m responsible for creating the […]
Republicans be warned: The man recently hired by Michael Steele as a Republican National Committee fundraiser was accused in 2005 by a political action committee he chaired of improperly using PAC money on personal nightclub bills, according to a copy of the complaint filed against him. The revelation about Neil Alpert, who began working as […]
Michael Steele took to the airwaves today to try and fix his highly tarnished record. That of course didn’t work out too well as Steele tried to pull out the race card, something he said he never does just a few short months ago. As if that isn’t bad, now we have the news that […]

In almost 5 years of running IntoxiNation I have never ran a fundraiser. Tonight I am starting one, but not for me or for this blog. Rather my first fundraiser is for the people of Haiti. If you have some spare change to donate then please do so via this link. The donations are through […]
If you head to one of Sarah Palin’s book tours and want to get your picture taken with her then be prepared to fork over some bucks. It turns out that you aren’t allowed to have cameras or cellphones near her. A spokesman for Palin’s book tour said the crowd wouldn’t be allowed to take […]
And this time we aren’t talking about John McCain, but rather his running mate: No wonder GOP vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin harbors such hostility toward the mainstream media: her staff imposes limits on her access to it. During a fundraiser here that raised $800,000 last night, Palin admitted that her aides often dissuade her […]
Richard Hohlt is one of Washington Mutual’s lobbyists, receiving close to $40,000 in the first half of 2007. He is also a major Republican fundraiser and then there is this little gem: Hohlt is also the leader of a group of Washington, DC insiders called the “Off the Record Club” and is known as an […]
