And it is garbage: Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich said Wednesday that Democratic sex scandals have been far worse than the suggestive Internet messages sent to teenage congressional pages by former Rep. Mark Foley. Gingrich said Democrats have wanted to punish their offenders less than the GOP. “What we don’t have to do is allow […]
Today Newt Gingrich told FOX News that if the Republicans investigated Foley then they would have been accused of “gay bashing” (HT TP). This has so many levels of absurd. This also proves the point that Republicans were putting politics above child safety. So if they investigated and the case turned out to be true […]
Yesterday North Korea called Condi Rice a ‘imbecile’. Today, the ultra-conservative Insight Magazine is calling her incompetent and calling on Bush to replace her: Conservative national security allies of President Bush are in revolt against Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, saying that she is incompetent and has reversed the administration’s national security and foreign policy […]
Just received this from the Ohio Democratic Party: “For a member of the Senate Intelligence Committee, Mike DeWine, did an awful dumb thing by not noticing the use of doctored photos of the 911 tragedy in his campaign ad.

Rep. Tim Ryan (D-OH) blasted the Republicans on the House floor in a blistering speech. He used people like Newt Gingrich as an example of how conservatives are even fed up with the failures our Republican controlled government. Check out the video below the fold. This is a blistering attack (h/t Atrios).
A Good Swift Kick (via The People’s Republic of Seabrook) In general, I’m against kicking ’em when they’re down … unless really awful people are involved. I figured Tom DeLay is so awful, plenty of people would gang up on him and I could pass. Imagine my surprise when the toughest question one famous TV […]
This is priceless: Republican pollster Jan van Lohuizen, in a memo written for RNC chairman Ken Mehlman, warns that if members of Congress try to drive a wedge between themselves and Pres. Bush, it’d be akin to adding weight to an anchor. GOpers are “W Brand Republicans” whether they like it or not. And van […]
