George Will Plays the Dukakis Card on an Unsuspecting Romney

by Smitty “It has a lot to do with Romney. He is rising as more and more Republicans come to the conclusion that the Republican Party has found its Michael Dukakis, a technocratic Massachusetts governor running on competence, not ideology.” I’m looking at the National Debt Clock and wondering just What. The. Flippy-flop. George Will […]

The Army Of Climate Change Darkness Marches On

by Smitty Guilt by association is an ugly thing. So I disclaim at the outset any attempt to say that, merely because John Holdren, the president’s current science czar — an advocate of de-developing America and population control. has been a source of advice to Mitt Romney on “global warming and carbon emissions”. And the […]

Savage Weirdness at Final Boarding: Did Team Perry Put the Blame on Rubio?

The National Affairs Desk, in the smoking lounge at Dulles International Airport, 1:10 p.m., Monday, Oct. 17, 2011 DULLES INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT Less than hour until final boarding for my flight to LAX en route to Vegas, and no time to waste on trivia now.

Fear and Loathing (and, Yes, Sweet Vengeance) On the Road to Feb. 1, 2012

 Today’s the day I fly off to Las Vegas to cover Tuesday’s crucial Republican presidential debate. It’s a long flight from Dulles to LAX, then a four-hour layover before I catch the plane to Vegas.

by Smitty An excellent play by Muir. This prompts me to drop in a bit of Chickenfoot:

‘… Significantly Less Substantive, in Terms of His Words, Than He Appears …’

by Smitty Quin Hillyer not gripped by the Mitt: The main thing I learned is that Mitt Romney is significantly less substantive, in terms of his words, than he appears to be when you watch him live. Or Michelle: When Bachmann isn’t as well versed on an issue, it really shows, much to her detriment. […]

Soon to Be a ‘Downfall’ Video Parody: Huntsman Campaign Goes Broke!

The man I dubbed “Governor Asterisk” in August has spent more than $4 million dollars to achieve a Real Clear Politics poll average of 1.6% and is now about half a million bucks in the red: Jon Huntsman’s presidential campaign is verging on broke after burning through more than $4 million since the former Utah governor […]

From the Future Ambassador to Vanuatu

Feb. 17, 2010: When we first met by accident in an elevator at CPAC, Marco Rubio said to me, ‘Hey, your camera’s pink.’ After the events of this afternoon, I e-mailed my American Spectator story (about Marco Rubio denying my Thursday exclusive) to a fellow journalist. He replied, “My guess is that you were right […]
