Mattie Fein, […]

Democrat Halvorson’s Nazi-Smear Aide Is Lesbian Who Brags About ‘Gigantic Boobs’

A commenter on the earlier post about Rep. Debbie Halvorson’s “Palin-as-Hitler” protesters points out that Halvorson aide Anna Markowski had a profile on the “OkCupid” dating site (Firefox users click here) with this delightful bit of self-description: And, yes, Markowski identified herself as “25/F/Gay/Single,” so all you lesbian ladies who want to date a gigantic-breasted Democrat […]

Can Jim Rutledge and Charles Lollar Beat Barbara Mikulski and Steny Hoyer?

I’m ‘Sick to My Stomach’ of Pete Sessions Running the NRCC into the Ground

He’s becoming a joke: National Republican Congressional Committee Chairman Pete Sessions is trying to referee an increasingly bitter Florida 24th District primary, criticizing a new mailer from Florida Republican Craig Miller questioning rival Karen Diebel’s mental fitness as out of bounds. Dan Riehl’s had the facts on this situation for weeks. It’s not that she’s a […]
