There’s not much I like about Rick Perry, but this idea from his book ‘Fed Up’ is one I can definitely get behind: One solution the governor embraces is to end lifetime tenure — a cornerstone of the Constitution, whose drafters worried far less about activist or senile judges than about meddling tyrants and political […]
Mother Jones: Send a public records request seeking documents from his 12-year stint as Arkansas governor, as Mother Jones did recently, and an eyebrow-raising reply will come back: The records are unavailable, and the computer hard drives that once contained them were erased and physically destroyed by the Huckabee administration as the governor prepared to […]
Only two months into his tenure and one of the GOP’s golden children from the last election is already in a huge ethical investigation that is causing members of his own party to distance themselves from him: Florida Rep.

While I disagree with the President’s statement, my comments were inappropriate and regrettable. I extend sincere apologies to the President for this lack of civility.” […]
That seems to be the reason gaining the most traction, that Palin couldn’t work and the cost of defending herself against all the ethics complaints was too much to handle. Here’s a segment from FOX News where Sean Parnell, Palin’s successor, repeats just that. I can buy that as a reason, but does that mean […]
I wake up and turn on the TV. There is Morning Joe and Chuck Todd going on about Michael Steele. Todd says that Steele has to be careful or he will risk being as ineffective a party leader as Howard Dean. What? Howard Dean’s 50 state strategy is highly attributed to massive wins by Democrats […]
So long idiot!: Attorney General Alberto R. Gonzales, whose tenure has been marred by controversy and accusations of perjury before Congress, has resigned.
