The Band Rocks

Filed in National by on September 10, 2008 11 Comments

VH1 is playing the last Waltz tonight and I don’t want my last post [for who knows how long due to changes in my work thing] to be one that rags on Hube.  I actually like Hube, but he hates my guts.   That’s okay.  I’m being carried on a wave of love, raspy three […]

Comment Rescue: Hube Brings The Scary

Filed in National by on September 10, 2008 10 Comments

He does not comment much anymore, but when he does…it is a keeper. Manonman. What a pathetic parody this “site” has become. Not that it was ever a bastion of sensible political commentary in the first place. All evil and immoral? All scum? DelDem couldn’t debate his fucking way out of a paper bag, even […]

This is Why I Love Joe Biden.

He is just so human, unafraid to show emotion, unafraid to show his love of his family.   Stupid conservatives will deride this, criticizing him for tearing up, saying that he is not acting like a man.   And I say it is Joe Biden who really is a man, while all who criticize him for this […]

Obama has taken a stand. Anyone know where McCain stands on this one?

Senator Barack Obama and two other prominent Democrats urged federal housing regulators on Tuesday to cut the golden parachutes of the ousted leaders of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, another sign that the government bailout of those mortgage giants could reverberate through the presidential campaign. I don’t see McCain taking a stand. It would upset […]

The Map.

The Map.

As soon as the first 10 districts came in, and Markell was ahead by a slight 53-47 margin, I knew we were probably going to have a good night.   Why?  Because I was assuming that, like always, all the early numbers were coming in from Sussex County, were there are less people and less polling […]

Check it out. With Abbott spoiling GOP golden boy Fleming’s chances, the 4th SD gets to choose between a straight up Bushian wingnut (son of Clatworthy) and a serious, sober Democrat. I’m calling this one for Katz. STATE SENATOR DISTRICT 4 26 of 26 Districts Reported DEMOCRATIC PARTY DEE DURHAM…..1426 37 . 0 % MICHAEL […]

Carper…You’re Next.

Filed in National by on September 10, 2008 15 Comments

Tom Carper has outlived his DLC-Delaware Way usefulness. He was a competent Governor and Congressman, but since he was elevated to the Senate, he has drifted evermore right wing. He still supports the War and he still supports Joe Lieberman, to this very day. His reaction to the primary last night? “It’s a primary that […]

Was it a sock-puppet blog all along? Hmmmm…? DelaWonk is going on hiatus for a short while, but I will be back. Until then… In the spirit of reconcilation I will say that I’ll be looking forward to Delawonk coming back and being the high-minded policy oriented blog that it aspires to be.

Holy Shit.

Al Mascitti just called Ruth Ann Minner “Hitler in a Housecoat.”   And he nearly called her a bitch right before that.   I thought I was probably over the top when I called her petulant, selfish, and told her to go to Hell this morning. Damn, Al.
