TwitterGate Update: Neal Rauhauser Switches Account to ‘Protected’ Status

After my first post about TwitterGate, many of the “Beandogs” in Democratic campaign consultant Neal Rauhauser’s network were laughing as if it were all a big joke. Yesterday, I came back with a second post that connected the dots a bit more clearly — and highlighted Rauhauser’s status as a Daily Kos contributor. In the […]

Stupidest. Democrat. EVAH!

Rarely have I ever disagreed with Ann Coulter, but her pronouncement that Patty Murray is “the stupidest person in America” was simply wrong.

And all for a job that pays 174K a year, plus a few fringes. Fuzzy math indeed; but nice “work” if […]

Senator John McCain: Poster Child For 17th Amendment Repeal

by Smitty Yeah, Ruling Class: yeah. It is only natural that the system, rigged to favor the incumbent, returns anyone having a pulse not discovered with a dead girl or a live boy to office, irrespective of competence. Thus, it’s difficult to blame any State for sticking with an old warhorse, *cough*West Virginia*cough*. Note that, […]

Brandi Milloy: Heatwave at the Border (And Xenophobia Never Looked Better)

OK, anybody who ever questioned Roger Simon‘s judgment — his ability to spot top-quality video news talent — start apologizing now. Click the picture to watch, you disgusting sexist swine: My advice to Roger: Change the name PJTV to “BrandiTV.” Also, please assign Brandi to do a story about the bond-market bubble.
