Vernon Parker: Trained by the Best

What you see in this photo is me checking my recently-purchased digital mini-recorder prior to my March 29 interview with Paradise Valley Mayor Vernon Parker, who is running for Congress in AZ-3. The interview was arranged by our friend Barbara Espinosa of American Freedom blog. However, transcribing audio is for me the journalistic equivalent of […]

Stormy Daniels, GOP Porn Star

OK, I’m on deadline on another project tonight and trying hard to resist the temptation to blog about several things, but this was simply irresistible: Former adult entertainment star Stormy Daniels released the following statement Tuesday, declaring her affiliation with the Republican Party. This statement is believed to be setting up Daniels’ bid for U.S. […]

When It Rains, It Pours for RNC

Fresh off a double dose of bad headlines Monday, now the Republican National Committee gets another resignation: NH RNC member Sean Mahoney resigned his post today, taking aim at chairman Michael Steele in a strongly-worded protest letter over the committee’s profligate spending. “Not only has the out-of-touch, free-spending culture of Washington come to completely dominate […]

Shootout at the RNC Corral

First, a co-chairman of the Republican Regents resigned, and now the Republican National Committee’s chief of staff has resigned. Maybe one too many rejected RNC solicitations? Just a guess. Allahpundit has the necessary strategic insights. I’d offer my own insights, but I’m a bit too busy right now laughing over a silly post at Frum Forum by Chris Currey, who claims […]

John McCain Gets His Queeg On

“Bitter”? “Unprincipled”? “Self-pitying”? Gosh, it’s a shame Newsweek didn’t notice this stuff back in 1999: Many of the GOP’s most faithful, the kind who vote in primaries despite 115-degree heat, tired long ago of McCain the Maverick, the man who had crossed the aisle to work with Democrats on issues like immigration reform, global warming, […]

Bad to Worse for Sorry Charlie Crist

Even a liberal Republican like Rudy Giuliani endorses Marco Rubio: On a conference call today with bloggers, former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani discussed his endorsement of Marco Rubio for U.S. Senate, saying his endorsement goes beyond “whether Charlie Crist broke his word with me on several occasions — he did — that’s the reality, […]
