Here’s the WaPo’s Ruth Marcus yesterday on the Emma Sullivan tweet to Sam Brownback: Emma Sullivan, you’re lucky you’re not my daughter. (Dangerous sentence, I know: My daughters might agree.) If you were my daughter, you’d be writing that letter apologizing to Kansas Gov. Sam Brownback for the smartalecky, potty-mouthed tweet you wrote after meeting […]
I blogged about Emma Sullivan on Saturday. She’s a high school senior in Kansas who made a “disparaging” comment about Sam Brownback on Twitter and got called to the principals office for it. The principal tried to force her to write a letter of apology to the Republican governor after his office complained about the […]
In what can only be described as one of the most egregious violations of the First Amendment, a high school senior in Kansas was disciplined for making a disparaging tweet about former Senator and now Governor, Sam Brownback: Emma Sullivan, a senior at Shawnee Mission East High School in Prairie Village, was in Topeka on […]
Sam Brownback is furious over China eavesdropping on internet communications. Here he is expressing his outrage to Wolf Blitzer: Yes – how dare they eavesdrop on people! That should only be allowed here in the U.S., where Brownback supports it. This is another shining example of Republican hypocrisy, and another reason why America is frowned […]
(And let’s not get into jokes about pickles being in Libby after he arrives at the big house!) Last night the subject of pardoning Scooter Libby was brought up at the GOP debate. All the conservatives said they would. Sam Brownback went as far as to say that Clinton only had his law license revoked […]
Funny that when Biden says something like this, he gets chastised by the wingnuts. It will of course be different when you got a 2008 GOP Presidential hopeful saying it: Republican presidential hopeful Sam Brownback said Thursday that Iraq must achieve a “political equilibrium” even if means partitioning the country along ethnic lines. “I’m saying, […]
It looks like “five in the noogin” John Gibson isn’t making enough off of his “War on Christmas” book so the conservatives are willing to lend him a hand: The “War on Christmas” has morphed into a “War on Christians.” Last December, some evangelical Christian groups declared that the religious celebration of Christmas — and […]
It looks like the very attack the Repulicans use against the Democrats has come back to bite themselves: Republican efforts to craft a policy and political agenda to carry the party into the midterm elections have stumbled repeatedly as GOP leaders face widespread disaffection and disagreement within the ranks. Anxiety over President Bush’s Iraq policy, […]
SCARBOROUGH: The lack of leadership in Washington, D.C., is sickening. If you look at what Republicans did-promised to do in 1994, when they took control of Congress, and see how they’ve been acting over the past three or four years, the biggest debt and deficit ever. They are irresponsible and reckless on so many levels. […]
