Comment Rescue: What About Protack?

Filed in National by on July 27, 2009 10 Comments

Geezer says Protack still thinks he’s elected-official material. But is that true? Protack has progressed from postings that are merely strange to postings that are incomprehensible non sequiturs.

How About It Republicans?

Filed in National by on July 27, 2009

E.J. Dionne has a question for 2nd amendment-loving politicians: (h/t Washington Monthly) I’ve been studying the deep thoughts of senators who regularly express their undying loyalty to the National Rifle Association, and I have decided that they should practice what they preach.
