Jim Moran: Clownish Buffoon, Or Buffoonish Clown?

by Smitty (hat tip: BlogProf) Ol’ “Gentleman” Jim Moran just does Northern Virginia Proud: I suppose that, if you hold a condescending, equestrian viewpoint, and taxpayers are a flock of sheep to be shorn in support of your Vision of Progress, then Moran’s viewpoint may seem sensible. Moran’s point seems to be that if you’ve […]

System Shock: Straightforward, Positive Campaign Ad for Virginia’s Dianne Blais

by Smitty (via Allahpundit on Twitter) Allahpundit teases with the question of whether this is the greatest campaign ad ever. I suspect that such an award would go to one with maximal impact, which would probably be a Ladd Ehlinger outing. That said, the notion of a simple collection of jaunty couplets delivered by the […]

Radtke Reports 2nd Quarter Fundraising Numbers for Virginia Senate Campaign

Jamie Radtke is the Tea Party candidate in next year’s Republican primary for the Virginia seat being vacated by the retirement of one-term Democratic Sen. Jim Webb.

In Virginia? What to do? For the Democrats, there is only one […]

Isn’t VA’s Outgoing Senator Enough Of A Progressive Tool?

by Smitty Legal Insurrection posts a clip of Tim “I did not ride Mark Warner’s coattails” Kaine, who would like to replace Sen. Jim “Yeah, I got elected on ‘macaca’” Webb as the junior Senator from VA. The bandwidth and the interest to deal with this video just ain’t there. I won’t even embed it. […]

The 10′ Fairy Sculpture At The Mark Center: A Jim Moran Symbol?

by Smitty (via Memorandum) It all began as a sadly typical Military-Industrial Complex boondoggle back in the salad days of September ’08 (emphasis mine).

Pardon Me While I Wallow In Schadenfreude About The VA Dems

by Smitty Via Retire Jim Moran, we have The Virginia Democrat with a delightful lunchtime diversion for you, emphasis mine: The Virginia Democratic Party has been “leaderless” for almost two years. We’ve had hit rock bottom. Let’s talk about some of the things that need to be fixed for me to come back into the […]
