Lindsey Graham To Hold Senate Hostage Over A $40,000 Earmark

Politics

Again, the IOKIYAR syndrome strikes: Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) has vowed to bring the Senate to a standstill unless congressional leaders agree to allocate $40,000 for a federal study on deepening the Port of Charleston. Graham says one out of five jobs in South Carolina stem from trade through Charleston’s busy port, and he warns […]

McCain–VS- McCain

Society

Don’t you just love a little domestic drama? Sen. John McCain’s wife Cindy appears in a new ad that harshly criticizes the military’s “don’t ask, don’t tell” policy, and government officials and religious leaders generally, over what she and others describe as complicity in the bullying that has led to a rash of highly-publicized suicides […]

GOP Bigotry: “All Faggots Must Die”

Politics

From Oliver Willis: I’ve just gotten off the phone with Atlanta Journal-Constitution political writer Jim Gallaway who says that Sen. Saxby Chambliss has confirmed that the ‘All faggots must die’ comment left here on JMG earlier today did indeed come from his Atlanta office. The comment was made over the repeal of DADT. Pretty interesting […]

DeMint Thinks Democrats Are Rushing TSA Nominee

National Security

Jim DeMint is on the losing end of an argument and instead of saying “oops, sorry”, he is down right determined to dig in and continue his crusade to keep this country less safe: A Republican senator who has been blocking President Barack Obama’s nominee to head the Transportation Security Administration complains that Democrats are […]

DSCC Should Keep Out Of Primaries

Misc

I’m sorry but these congressional campaign committees should stay away from primary battles. We saw what happened in NY-23 a few weeks ago, but the DSCC apparently didn’t: Secretary of State Elaine Marshall is leading other candidates in the Democratic primary for U.S. Senate by a wide margin. Marshall is the choice of 42 percent […]

Quote Of The Day

Misc

Matt Taibbi: I’ll say this for George Bush: you’d never have caught him frantically negotiating against himself to take the meat out of a signature legislative initiative just because his approval ratings had a bad summer. Can you imagine Bush and Karl Rove allowing themselves to be paraded through Washington on a leash by some […]

Skipping Town Halls?

Misc

The right is going after lawmakers who are not holding townhalls during the recess. I believe there is merit to this charge. We have a representative government and townhalls are a perfect opportunity to make sure that representation is well shared. However the list compiled on Hot Air seems to be rather partisan. They have […]

From The Party Of Family Values

Misc

Comes one of their big stars, Republican Senator John Ensign and his admission to an extramarital affair. The affair was with a campaign staffer, who is also the wife of one of his senate staffers. Sounds like trouble in that office! Chris Cillizza has much more.

India has raised their national security level to “war level” following last week’s attacks in Mumbai: The fallout from a three-day rampage that killed nearly 200 people in Mumbai threatened on Sunday to unravel India’s improving ties with Pakistan and prompted the resignation of India’s security minister. New Delhi said it was raising security to […]

Ready – Set – Fight!

Misc

Now the GOP infighting really gets interesting. In one corner we have former presidential nominee John McCain, and in the other corner – Republican Senator Jim DeMint of South Carolina: “McCain, who is proponent of campaign finance reform that weakened party organizations and basically put George Soros in the driver’s seat,” DeMint said. “His proposal […]
