BOB MENENDEZ AND HOOKERS?

Dominican hookers, to be specific. This is what we’re hearing about the sex scandal involving a “powerful senator” in a headline being touted by Drudge, with a story by the Daily Caller promised late tonight.

Warren ‘Got Her Fake Native American Ass Handed to Her’ by Brown in Debate

So says Aleister at American Glob, admitting that his judgment is perhaps not entirely objective. Da Tech Guy was less sanguine: This debate was pretty much a wash, I think that helps Warren because of her slight lead.

Department of Unfortunate Analogies

Perhaps you remember a fellow named Todd Akin. You may wish you could forget having ever heard the name, but I think you probably remember. Think back to the morning of Sunday, Aug. 19.

E-Mail From Mrs. Akin

Depressed by the Politics of Dumb, I went to bed early, but woke up after an hour and checked my e-mail to find . . . this: Dear Friends, My husband is a man of principle and courage. He’s a great husband and a wonderful father to our daughters and sons, but he’s not perfect. […]

The Politics of Dumb

In a Twitter exchange with Steve Ertelt of Lifenews.com — who has called on Todd Akin to step aside — I made this point: There is a price to be paid for pandering and dumbing down: You attract stupid voters — and stupid candidates. There are people who claim that Todd Akin is not irremediably stupid. […]
