I Can’t Quite Put My Finger On It, But…
MoJo’s Nick Baumann again does us an invaluable service by pointing out the obvious fact that President Obama’s “unprecedented assault on America’s religious freedoms” by requiring church-related hospitals and universities to cover contraception at the federal level has actually been on the books for, oh, about 12 years now. In December 2000, the Equal Employment [...]

Gap-astrophic Failure
Steve Benen flags down the real story so far in the GOP primary: it’s not Mitt’s finishing problem, or clods of Santorum gumming up the works, or even Newt’s ego self-immolating like a phosphorus elemental in a gasoline refinery, but the significant turnout deficit compared to just four years ago. So, what were the totals [...]

High In The Middle And Round At Both Ends
So if you want to know what LEROOOOOOY NNNNNEWTON! was doing while he was drowning in flop sweat and Santorum last night, he was too busy playing for Ohio by attacking the President (and Mitt Romney) here in heavily Catholic Cincinnati yesterday. Republican presidential hopeful Newt Gingrich today brought his talk of family, jobs and [...]

I Think That’s Some Sort Of Bomb Iranian Mix
Well, since John Yoo is on vacation this week or something waterboarding herds of unicorns and John Bolton’s Mustache is busy with trying to adapt drone controls for use by facial hair (hard to fly straight and hit the red button at the same time when you’re only a mustache) to bomb Syria, it’s up [...]

Arizona GOP: I Spit On Your Union Grave
If GOP Gov. John Kasich got an ugly bloody nose from public unions last year and Gov. Scott Walker of Wisconsin and his GOP pals wanted to leave public unions bleeding in the street (only to now face the wrath of the state’s voters), Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer is by comparison sending wreaths and dry [...]

Simp Phony For The Devil
Having taken over Washington Monthly’s Political Animal blog for Steve Benen (now part of the Maddow team at MSNBC, and more power to him there, he’s badly needed), Ed Kilgore is doing a pretty solid job so far. He flags this article from The Hill written by FOX News punching bag Juan Williams and immediately [...]

It’s A Bit Too Late For That, Ruben
CNN’s Ruben Navarette is warning that the GOP might not do too well among Latino voters in 2012, which is a bit like, well, like Herman Cain warning that the GOP may not do too well with African-American voters like myself. But here’s his opening: On behalf of all those Latino voters who have figured [...]

Birthers Stuck On Endless Loop
Whether you believe that the Republicans will self-destruct in November or not, the Birther component of the anti-Obama campaign will never, never end unless the people who continue to spew this nonsense are actually made to pay a price. A judge has ordered President Barack Obama to appear in court in Atlanta for a hearing [...]

Only the elites insult the working adults who pick up after us
I didn’t watch the debate. I did want to point something out, though, because I think it goes to how conservatives devalue the work that certain adults do: “New York City pays their janitors an absurd amount of money because of the union. You could take one janitor and hire 30-some kids to work in [...]

All Class, These Guys
More information keeps dribbling forward regarding the voter fraud crimes committed by O’Keefe’s Project Veritas , and it just keeps getting better and better: A grieving New Hampshire widow said she was stunned to learn her beloved husband’s identity was used for a political gotcha — just 10 days after his death. “That’s awful,” Rachel [...]

The Next Birtherism?
Let’s say it’s a tight race between Barack Obama and whoever emerges from the GOP scrum—the Real Clear Politics poll summary currently has Obama leading Romney by less than a point, and though Obama has a much bigger lead over Gingrich, the economy isn’t getting better all that quickly, and it’s impossible to know what [...]

crybabies
Okay, this first: A rift in the Ohio Republican Party became public this weekend, raising questions about GOP unity in one of the nation’s most important presidential swing states. During a speech Friday to the state’s Republican Central Committee, state party Chairman Kevin DeWine accused Gov. John Kasich’s political team of recruiting candidates to oust [...]

Fire Walker Chronicles: A Dirty Rotten Shame
Wisconsin Republicans are trying an awful new tack in scuttling the recall effort for Gov. Scott Walker: having Lt Gov. Rebecca Kleefisch (who would also be recalled under the petition) shame the state into inaction with a thinly veiled threat ad that the cost of a special recall election will have to be taken out [...]

Like The Bankrupt Space On Wheel Of Fortune
You know the right wing is painfully desperate and terrified right now when they play the ACORN card on Occupy Wall Street. Steve Benen: About a year ago, there was an unintentionally amusing survey from Public Policy Polling that found 23% of Republicans nationwide feared ACORN may help Democrats steal the election. ACORN, of course, [...]

For entertainment purposes only, Charles P. Pierce at Esquire’s Political Blog on the NRA’s latest fever dream and its most unlikely opponents: America’s gun lobby is beside itself these days, which is two too many gun lobbies for my way of thinking. House Resolution 822 has very little chance of becoming law because the Senate [...]
