Shock and Awe Day for the GOP

The title is lifted from a Ron Paul Forum post about today’s stunning Sarah Palin endorsement of Rand Paul in the Kentucky GOP Senate primary. Given that many of Palin’s supporters were supporting either Bill Johnson or Trey Grayson, I’m sure they’re scratching their heads. Personally, I was surprised she’d get involved in such a […]

The Camp of the Saints Shows a Sad Non-Grasp of Nuance

by Smitty So, my cover is blown. Fine. You attempt to sew confusion in the opposition camp by propping up a non-contender, and what does Belvedere do? Call attention to the effort. At least Bob still thinks I’m a real person. If he figures out that I’m really an alpaca, I’ll be in deep guano.

When it’s time to talk about abstinence education, the Harvard-educated wunderkind makes sure to throw traffic to feminist blogger Jill Filipovic and Planned Parenthood. No conservative blogger has ever written about these subjects, you see, and Ross Douthat has never linked a conservative blogger.

The Right Hand Doesn’t Know . . .

. . . what the far-right hand is doing: In November, the morning after Election Day, a conservative blogger in Georgia blasted an e-mail to 65,000 people.
