Like an Earthquake in Vanuatu: Michelle Malkin Endorses Rick Santorum!

NAPLES, Fla. Woke up about 10:30 this morning expecting to put together a quick aggregation of the morning news. Then I saw Michelle Malkin’s endorsement of Rick Santorum. All bets are off. Forget everything else — this is freaking HUGE! UPDATE: I’m about to go get breakfast, but before that, a few more bits of news: […]

Minnesota Republican ‘Made Some Mistakes and Errors in Judgment’

The words “sin” and “adultery” evidently did not occur to former state Senate Majority Leader Amy Koch: Amy Koch apologized [Wednesday] for “engaging in a relationship with a Senate staffer,” though she did not name the individual. (We are left to wonder if “engaging in a relationship” can be roughly translated as “making the beast […]

Minnesota Republican Resigns Post Over Allegation of ‘Inappropriate’ Relationship

This news was a shock to me, involving allegations — and we must stress that these are only allegations at this point — against a female politician whom I have actually met: Minnesota Senate Majority Leader Amy Koch resigned from her leadership post the day after fellow Republicans confronted her about allegations that she had […]

VIDEO: Breitbart Talks WeinerGate

MINNEAPOLIS Everybody I saw downstairs this morning at the Right Online conference kept telling me, “You look rough.” As well I should.

Note To Tim Pawlenty: Ladd Ehlinger

by Smitty SOL/Puffington Host reports that Governor Pawlenty has retained some Canuck named Baiano to improve the cut of his jib: Lucas Baiano, a 23-year-old former Hillary Clinton supporter, is Canadian-born and dresses in perfectly-starched white shirts, slim-fitting sports jackets and tight designer jeans.

Get Pawlenty’s ‘Courage to Stand: An American Story’

by Smitty I didn’t write a novel, true, but I did just finished reading Tim Pawlenty’s book, and I must confess some mystification. The book is a great read.
