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 […]
So I was reading this over at Power Line: Whenever President Bush talked about immigration, his approval ratings went down. It was like clockwork: liberals never understood that the fatal decline in Bush’s popularity during his second term had at least as much to do with his advocacy of “comprehensive immigration reform” as with war-weariness.

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.

The hope of 60 seats in the Senate is now dead: Relieved Republicans celebrated a resounding win in Georgia’s hard-fought U.S. Senate runoff, a victory that denied Democrats a filibuster-proof majority and cemented the state’s reputation as a GOP bastion. Sen. Saxby Chambliss trounced Democrat Jim Martin Tuesday night, winning his second term by a […]
He failed at running the RNC and has failed at being a senator: U.S. Sen. Mel Martinez of Florida, who has struggled to boost his approval ratings because of close ties to President George W. Bush, announced Tuesday he will not seek a second term in 2010. His seat was widely seen as vulnerable in […]
First up we have the awesome speech delivered by Bill Clinton: After that, John Kerry gave a more powerful speech than he did during his entire campaign in 2004. If he would have been like this in 2004, then we would be heading into his second term. And the headliner of the night – Joe […]
