George Will has bestowed upon himself the duty to name America’s “worst politician”, and declares Alan Grayson the winner: There are hundreds of plausible nominees for the title of America’s Second-Smarmiest Politician, but surely the top spot is un-contested. Americans of all political persuasions can come together in affirming one proposition: Public life would be […]
The award for the most stupid headline of the day has to go to the AP for this: Fla. Senate candidates critical of each other And what candidate isn’t critical of their opponent? Maybe they should do some real zinger headlines like: Candidates Talk Politics! In a Shocker, Candidates Try to Sell Themselves to the […]
Can you pick out the true Libertarian? Rep. Ron Paul, R-Texas, is out with a strong new statement going after conservative critics of the Islamic community center near ground zero that implicitly criticizes his own son, Kentucky Senate candidate Rand Paul.

Well, Specter, take [Sen. John] McCain with you. And his daughter [Meghan]. Take McCain and his daughter with you if you’re gonna… Republican Leader Rush Limbaugh on news of Specter switching parties. That’s a pretty bad statement, but even worse is his rationale for it: …..It’s ultimately good. You’re weeding out people who aren’t really […]
T wo weeks after losing, Marilyn Musgrave is no where to be found: Two weeks after the brutal loss, Musgrave still hasn’t called her opponent to concede or to congratulate the victor, as is not only textbook but also mannerly to do.
