Tis the Season to Bash Feds
It must be the holiday season as it seems that the rethuglicans in Congress are once again taking aim at Federal employees. As a compromise to extending the payroll tax holiday that has been championed by President Obama, Senate ruthuglicans, led by Sen. Dean Heller (Tehadist – NV), introduced legislation to “pay” for the extension by freezing Federal salaries for an additional 3 years (on top of the 2 year freeze instituted last January) and cut 200,000 Federal jobs. And get this, these asshats also want to make sure that millionaires won’t be eligible for food stamps! Now when was the last time a millionaire either qualified or applied for food stamps?
Rightwing Wingnut Recalled
AZ Senate President Russell Pearce has been recalled from office. Pearce is the author of the controversial SB 1070, the anti-immigration, “papers please” law that went into effect last year but is now hung up in court. In a swift affirmation of Arizona’s fast growing and powerful new political movement, Secretary of State Ken Bennett […]
Memo to Michele Rollins: Bring It On!
Rethugs are virtually wetting themselves (except for the octogenarian Vicmead Hunt denizens, who really ARE wetting themselves) over the possible entrance of Michele Rollins into Delaware’s US House race. Michele Rollins earned her entree into Greenville gigagazilionaire circles the old-fashioned way: She married into it. A dewy-eyed 1963 beauty queen (the dew formed in the […]
Response to Andy Sere(al) Liar
I always knew that DL’s stuff was read by the Underground Wingnuts of the Rethuglican Party. However, it was not until Andy Sere of the RNC tried to twist my ‘completely objective and non-partisan’ look at the group of GOP would-be challengers into a diss of John Carney that I realized that (a) official GOP […]
Stoopid Rethug Tricks: Blasting Carney on Day Castle Enters Race
Perhaps they’re playing three-dimensional chess at a level that only dogs can hear. But does this make any sense to you? John Carney, the guy who is running for the seat that Castle is leaving, gets blasted by some junior league RNC ‘wordsmith’ on what should be Mike Castle’s day: Andy Seré, spokesman for the National […]
Rethugs Already Crying That D’s Are Playing the ‘Age’ Card
Somebody better get the waahmbulance ready to transport Mike Castle to Stonegates. National Rethug aparatchiks are already crying Beowulf (or is that ‘Grey Wolf’ or ‘Dale Wolf’) at the perception that D’s are playing the age card on Metamucil Mike, according to Plum Line’s Greg Sargent: “It strikes us as a very questionable line of […]
Mark Sanford Victim of Friday News ‘Dump’
In this case, his wife has done the dumping. She and the kids are vacating the Governor’s Mansion. Fortunately, she will not have to take a vow of poverty: But the first lady said Friday that she will move to the family’s oceanfront cottage on Sullivan’s Island, a lush beach enclave near Charleston almost two […]
Kay Bailey Hutchison: Rick Perry Gay?
Oh those wacky Rethugs. Talking Points Memo, by way of the Austin American-Statesman (if Texas secedes, can we please keep Austin?), reports that the campaign of Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison, who is primarying incumbent Texas Gov. Rick “Secession Now” Perry, “included hidden phrases including “rick perry gay” in order to draw hits to its website. […]
Thwart Rethug Delaying Tactics By…Speed Reading?
Henry Waxman has come up with a novel way to speed up consideration of climate change legislation currently being slow-walked to death by the Rethugs…a speed reader: [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M1q1EoglEBY[/youtube] According to the Wall Street Journal, here’s why he might be needed: Committee Republicans, who largely oppose the measure, have said they may force the reading of […]
‘Moderate’ Mike Castle Votes to Investigate Nancy Pelosi
After eight years of idly sitting by while Dubya, Cheney and the Rethugs shredded the Constitution, Mike “I Like Puppies and Kids” Castle has returned to his days as a crusader by voting for an investigation into what the CIA may or may not have said to Nancy Pelosi. The Greenville gentleman hasn’t been this […]
Rethugs Appoint Anti-Civil Rights Activist to Battle Obama’s Court Nominees
Once again, the new and improved ‘Big Tent’ party shows its true colors (hint, it’s not ‘black’) by appointing Alabama’s William Sessions to be the ranking Rethug on the Senate Judiciary Committee. Sessions has one of the most disgusting records on race that one could have. From an excellent 2002 profile by Sarah Wildman: Sessions […]
