I Am No Matchmaker

by Smitty However, with no fear of exceeding the realm of good taste, I would like to recommend that Kesha Rogers and Alvin Greene should do lunch. Kesha can help Alvin get something more substantial than, you know, Wikipedia, going for the campaign. It’s going to be a tough slog, going after Ol’ Julep DeMint, […]

Sharron Angle Fights Back

Nevada Sen. Harry Reid and his MSM allies have tried to score a pre-emptive knockout against Republican challenger Sharron Angle by depicting her as an extremist kook. Here is Angle’s first ad of the general election campaign: Philip Klein at the American Spectator provides the text of the ad: Unemployment has skyrocketed. Billions in bailouts […]

Alabama Radio Hosts Rick and Bubba Offend Soccer Fans Homosexuals

Rick Burgess: “I would dare to say that we would never declare Fornication Pride Month”: Pam Spaulding is having a conniption. Just in case anyone wants to do a guilt-by-association smear, I’ll point out that Rick and Bubba are alumni of my alma mater, Jacksonville (Ala.) State University, as is James Joyner of Outside the Beltway. […]

Will Folks: Nikki Haley for Governor! (Because, Hey, I Tapped That Stuff)

The Triumph of Alvin Greene

Good news for America’s favorite Democrat: Democratic Party officials in South Carolina voted Thursday to uphold the result of their controversial Senate primary even though the winner was Alvin Greene, an unemployed political novice who stands almost no chance of defeating Republican Sen. Jim DeMint in November. Meeting in Columbia, members of the state Democratic […]

Stupidest Statement Of The Year?

by Smitty Via Frank J, Sour Krauthammer on the Barton apology to BP: “I think that wins the award for the most politically stupid statement of the year. We can retire it right now, in June.” I’ll concede that it was gratuitous, tin-eared, and inarticulate.  BigFurHat has educated me on the point.  But we have […]

Jack Abramoff’s Ghost!

Jim Hoft at Gateway Pundit links this ABC News item:  With the support of Sen. Chris Dodd, D.-Conn., the federal government has awarded $54 million to Connecticut’s politically well-connected Mohegan Indian tribe, which operates one of the highest grossing casinos in the U.S. The tribe runs the sprawling Mohegan Sun casino, halfway between New York […]

New Alabama Ad: Who Is Dale Peterson Endorsing in the July 13 Runoff?

UPDATE: On his own campaign Web site, Peterson makes his endorsement of John McMillan. UPDATE II: Having been the first to post this video (6:04 a.m. ET), it’s kind of annoying to see Ben Smith getting the linkage for a post he did five hours later. I’m trying to avoid Charles Johnson Syndrome here. There’s […]
