GOP Shocked as Sex Scandal Strikes Christine O’Donnell Carl Paladino?

Two words you never want to hear about your candidate: “Baby mama.” Unfortunately, we’re also going to hear some words from the woman done wrong by the Republican Party’s answer to John Edwards: BUFFALO — It was just about a year ago, hours after the death of her son in a car crash, that Cathy Paladino’s […]

‘Same Old Place, Sweet Home Chicago’

Remember the bikini bombshell? Lots of laughs. Good times. But is it possible that a Democrat like Jesse Jackson Jr. could actually lose in Chicago? Never say never, as I point out in my latest American Spectator column: Isaac Hayes wasn’t always happy to share the same name as a singer famed for “Shaft” and other 1970s […]

Waiting to Exhale in Chicago

Our recent encounter with a certain bikini-clad blonde was good for blog traffic — thank you, Professor Reynolds — and elicited some mirthful commentary about D.C. cocktail hostess Giovana Huidobro‘s services to Rep. Jesse Jackson, Jr. (D-Corruption). But Chicago Sun-Times columnist Mary Mitchell isn’t laughing: What’s going on with U.S. Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr. is the […]

As If I Actually Needed an Excuse to Post This Picture of a Blonde in a Bikini

Conveniently enough, she managed to get herself involved in a serious political news story: Now, far be it from me to throw the first stone here. After all, who are we to judge? Or more to the point, who are we to make tasteless jokes about Giovana Huidobro and her married (alleged) boyfriend, Rep. Jesse […]

Lisa Murkowski ‘Lawyers Up’

The NRSC is now “meddling” in the Alaska GOP Senate primary, says RINO killer Joe Miller: “Frankly we’re looking right now to make sure . . . that the votes are accounted for fairly without any type of game play,” he said. “[It] concerns us any time that somebody lawyers up and, you know, tries […]

Arizona Madness

There is a candidate in the Arizona 3rd District GOP congressional primary named Steve Moak who doesn’t stand a snowball’s chance in Phoenix, no matter what anyone may try to tell you.  Moak’s candidacy is utterly doomed, but it has provided some amusement: Click this article at the Phoenix New Times and read down to the comments, […]

Boy Quayle, Republican Party Animal?

TheDirty.com says the Arizona congressional candidate wrote for the site under the porn-star name “Brock Landers” and adds: We met in Tahoe at a CBS celebrity golf tournament where we partied until 6 AM. How could you forget the crazy hooker? Here’s video of a local TV news report on the story: Quayle at first denied to […]

‘Eric Stratton, Republican Campaign Spokesman, Damned Glad to Meet Ya!’

After GQ reported on Rand Paul’s madcap, zany and possibly felonious collegiate pranks, the Republican candidate’s campaign unwisely responded with ominous argle-bargle about investigating its “legal options.” As a widely recognized New Media strategist — lots of people recognize me, and I sometimes call myself a “New Media strategist” — permit me to advise that […]
