TO WIT – STAY AT HOME
Stay at home evangelical Christians. Don’t go to the polls traditional Catholics.
That is (was) the message from the “Drive-by media.” Until now.
When Michael J. Fox took to the airwaves—without medication—and declared his support for Democratic candidates, he unknowingly set off a tidal wave of opposition from religious groups. Social issues, once quiet in the 2006 midterms, are now the focus of debate.
Religious voters are now obligated to vote, and they will.
The Michael J. Fox ad may have backfired. (The odds of Democrats curing cancer are equal to that of Debbie Stabenow winning an award for ballet.)
For too long the Democratic strategy has been to suppress the religious vote. (Because they can’t convince religious Americans that murdering babies is good and that Islamofacists don’t hate America.)
But, quite possibly, the media has enough problems of its own: Katie Couric is pulling lower ratings than reruns of the King of Queens.
President Bush signed the “Secure Fence Act of 2006” this morning. (Goodbye—or is it “hasta la vista”?—Jose.)
Need to know: A profile of Sen. Rick Santorum talks about his early College Republican days—and his Penn State dorm room. [Penn Live]
Need to know: Advertisments featuring a black man dating a white woman are now considered racist. (I’m not exactly sure why.) [NY Times]
Please note: the officials CRNC 2007 National Chairman’s race begins on Nov. 8. No earlier.
Jonathon Snyder of Ohio State addresses the Draft Brian Siler for National Chairman Facebook group (again):
With regards to the “Draft Siler for CRNC Chair” group on Facebook: As I told you yesterday, I started the group because I wanted to state my opinion on things, not because I was actively campaigning for anyone at all. Evidently, there were some people who considered this a campaign act, regardless of the “Draft” status of the group. Being that it was causing such a stir within minutes of being posted, I thought it best to close the group down until after the Mid-Terms. We obviously have real elections to focus on for the next thirteen days, and while simply joining a Facebook group should not actually take away anyone’s focus on the real elections, I realize there are people who see it this way. So for those reasons, any activities on my part in lobbying Brian Siler to choose to enter the upcoming CRNC elections will be postponed until after November 7. Like I stated earlier, I was not making phone calls, sending letters, or doing anything associated with campaigning, and no one asked me to take the group down. It was of my own accord, and it will be back in a few weeks after elections. Until then, I would encourage all College Republicans to continue working hard to get Republicans elected and win on November 7. We are working hard here in Ohio, and will continue driving on for Ken Blackwell, Mike DeWine, and every other candidate on our slate until every poll is closed.
TO WIT – SPIN CITY
If ever there was proof that some Americans love to use victims as a way of advancing their political agenda, one just needs to read my email.
“How dare you question the motive of Michael J. Fox, a beloved actor. You are scum,” one reactionary reader exclaimed.
(I just put two video clips side-by-side for everyone to compare and contrast.)
Some readers found comfort in saying, “I hope you get Parkinson’s.”
One reader went down this road, “I think it’s pretty sad that someone would suggest that MJF went off his meds to ‘exploit’ his illness for political gain. A friend of mine’s father has pakerinson’s and he went from just beginning stages to very bad form in about 3 years. Medication helps the hide the symptons, it doesnt stop the progression.”
(Yes, someone who is so familiar with the disease that they can’t spell it—properly or phonetically.)
Today’s thesis (furthered today by Rush Limbaugh’s Institute for Advanced Conservative Studies): You are not an expert on embryonic stem cell research just because you have a disease. So don’t write in and tell me about your friend’s mom’s best friend’s uncle who had [fill in the blank]. There are horrible diseases out there, and fighting them has always been a bipartisan effort. The claim that the election of one candidate over another will cure Parkinson disease is misleading and immoral. But…I guess it’s that time of the year.
Need to know: It wasn’t that long ago when Democrats blamed George W. Bush for Christopher Reeve’s paralysis. And in the 80s, Ronald Reagan was responsible for AIDS. (We all know the real people responsible for AIDS: Hollywood.)
We’ve seen this movie before.
President Bush is campaigning in Sarasota, Fla. today.
Mitt Romney is attending political events today in Nevada and California (his base).
Need to know: May 15, 2007 is the first presidential debate for possible 2008 candidates. It’s in South Carolina.
A source says Nate Walton has been hired by the Maine Republican Party to coordinate the GOTV effort for the Maine state legislature races. The Maine House is split 74-73 Democrat/Republican; the Maine Senate 19-16.
TO WIT – WHAT IS NED LAMONT GOING AS FOR HALLOWEEN?
As the stock market breaks records, as the thrill of post-season baseball rages in our hearts and minds, as North Korea apologizes, and as the mainstream media shows its glee over a possible Congressional takeover, there are a few things you need to know:
John McCain does not support gay marriage as a letter of the law. (If you want to have a private ceremony in your backyard, that’s fine, just don’t take it to the courthouse for processing.)
Grasping for relevance (or, perhaps, sitting in for Jimmy Carter), the Maine College Democrats issued a press release outlining the Maine College Republican fund-raising prowess—and then complained about how they channel the money.
Maine College Dem Chairman Oliver Radwan called for the Maine CRs to be investigated because they raised $25,000 (have I mentioned the stock market is breaking records?)—through their 527 of the same name—while the organization’s chairman, Nate Walton, works for Chandler Woodcock, a candidate in the heated Maine gubernatorial.
Sources say the complaint will be dismissed.
Need to know: Senator Joe Lieberman has a 17-point lead over Ned Lamont (a man who looks like John Mark Karr).
A Pennsylvania college denied a visit by Gubernatorial candidate Lynn Swann (because they hate America). [The LAF]
Karl Rove will be in upstate New York tonight campaigning for NRCC Chairman Tom Reynolds—something that will be covered live on C-SPAN.
TO WIT – GET DOWN TO SWINGTOWN
Because I’m cool (read: the whitest guy on the planet), I just led with Steve Miller Band lyrics.
Ah, the long nights of sweaty teenage lust on high school gymnasium floors are finally coming to an end. There is a growing movement at high schools across the country to ban freak dancing.
Just in case there is any doubt, let me state: I support a freak dancing ban. Freak dancing isn’t, nor ever was, cool. (Especially if you’re white.)
So girls, if you need to freak dance that badly to out-of-date 70s disco: you’re probably “easy.”
In the Los Angeles Times, one high school administrator cried out: “The dancing of our youngsters today is one step from events that should be occurring on wedding nights.”
Of course, like all things made popular by MTV, students are threatening not to attend dances that disallow freak dancing. (Why don’t we just let them have full-blown sex right there on the dance floor?)
The Boston Globe reports: Mitt Romney “has quietly consulted with leaders of the Mormon Church to map out plans for a nationwide network of Mormon supporters.”
Need to know: It appears the mainstream media has already declared the Democrats as the winners of the 2006 midterm elections. (They’re obviously doing what all liberals do: smoking pot.)
Yesterday the Los Angeles Times inadvertently “outed” George Allen campaign manager Dick Wadhams—only to print a correction today.
It was only a matter of time before the Catholic Church had to get brought into this whole Mark Foley nightmare. A Catholic priest living in Sicily has confirmed that he had an inappropriate relationship with Foley that included being nude in the same room, massaging, and drug-induced stupors.
(I don’t even know what to say at this point.)
TO WIT – GOOD LUCK AND GOOD MENTAL HEALTH
As the Dow hovers around 12,000, and as Saddam Hussein trail witnesses describe brutal massacres, and as Kim Jong Il makes his first appearance since his nuclear test [?], there is an overarching story that trumps all (thus today’s lead):
Paul McCartney tried to stab his ex-wife (the one whose leg was blown off in a landmine) with a wine glass and refused to buy her an antique bedpan. At one point he even made her walk around the house without a wheelchair or crutches and refused to allow her to breast-feed saying, “those [blanks] are mine.” Or so his ex-wife says.
I could throw-out some juvenile Beatles song reference, but I’m not going to.
But, as the Beatles are bigger than Jesus (I wonder if John Lennon still stands by that claim?), you are forced to suffer through this rubbish today.
I can’t stand: Beatles nostalgia. (Of course their music sounded good in the 60s…everyone was dropping acid!)
Need to know: Polls do not look good in Ohio.
Need to know: Karl Rove predicts Republicans will keep the House and Senate.
Need to know: Maureen Dowd wrote a 746-word column about whether Hillary Clinton and John McCain actually had a drinking contest.
Kelsey Grammar (he’s a star) called into a California CR State conference call and said, “Thank you for all the work that you do now, and the roll that you will play in the future. No one does it better than you guys. This election means a lot to us, we need to do well. Good luck in November.” (Kelsey is going to make a fabulous Governor after Arnold leaves office.) California State CR Chairman Mason Harrison, who just celebrated a birthday yesterday, asked the television icon to phone in.
One term Governor Mitt Romney acknowledged on CNN yesterday that Republican will not keep the Massachusetts Governor’s office.
TO WIT – BARACK OSAMA HAS A NEW BOOK
For the moment, with the election just three weeks away, I’m more bored than anyone who buys the new Barack Obama book. (Seriously.)
But, I’m not going to focus on unworthy political future stars crowned by the media. No, Harold Ford’s sex life and Barack Obama pretending he didn’t have a crack addiction isn’t worthy of my time.
Harry Reid has questions to answer, mainly: Why did you fail to disclose your land deal? And: Are you a money launderer?
None of this can be solved by A) Hanging up on the media; or, B) Hoping your Mormon faith will get you out of this jam.
As you all know, I come from a time and place where you can tell if a person is guilty or not just by looking at them. And so, after checking the facts (glancing over the text at the “Harry Reid is a Piece of Shit and Should Resign” Facebook group”) and looking at the photos, I’ve determined Reid to be guilty.
Case closed.
I can’t stand: Lobbyists.
President Bush meets with the Prime Minister of Croatia today at “the 1600.”
One term Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney, who’s under a federal investigation, sent out a press release bragging about new hires to his Commonwealth PAC.
An awkward moment occurred at a Leadership Institute YLS in Oklahoma City over the weekend when Morgan Wilkins bragged about Michigan CR State Chairman Dan Carlson. (She even went to the point of saying he should run for national chairman in 2007.) All of this happened while former Michigan CR State Chairman Ryan Cassin, who was deposed by Carlson, was in the room.
TO WIT – HOCKEY MASKS AND GLAMOUR SHOTS
I have boycotted the Nobel Peace Prize ever since the Norwegian Nobel Committee refused to give both Ronald Reagan and John Paul II the prize back in the 80s. Ending the Cold War without firing a shot is evidently “not peaceful enough.” You have to go the extra mile, like Jimmy Carter (2002) who ran our country into the ground. Or, like 1976’s winner, Betty Williams, who recently threatened to MURDER President Bush.
Therefore, I’m not going to mention the recent announcement of the 2006 winner.
I can’t stand: Raj Bhakta.
Perhaps Jordan Edmund (just for his personal safety) should spend this Friday the 13th wearing a hockey mask. (It might help with the whole “public embarrassment thing.”)
President Bush will attend an RNC fundraiser tonight in DC.
Ken Mehlman will spend the day in Tennessee.
Today’s New York Times editorial says that regular AIDS tests should be universal and available to everyone. (If your lifestyle calls for a regular AIDS test, you’ve got problems.)
Need to know: A University of New Hampshire poll shows John McCain leading the 2008 Republican field with 32%, followed by Rudy Giuliani at 19%, and Mitt Romney at 15%.
A special operative reports: [CRNC National Chairman] Paul Gourley [was] quoted in Glamour Magazine. (pg 169) Talking about flip floppers (the article mentions Frist and stem cell research), he says “They need to give a solid explanation that has merit” The article is “6 mistakes not to make when you vote.”
And as we all know, if there is any place Paul Gourley belongs, it’s on the pages of Glamour Magazine.
TO WIT – SAVED BY THE SEX TAPE
As Republicans wonder if the Foley aftermath is over, and as New Yorkers wonder why planes have to fly into buildings, and as Virginia Democrats wonder if Hillary Clinton scared Mark Warner out of the 2008 Presidential Race (Halloween is just around the corner), one thing is certain (and demonstrably disgusting at the same time): Screech from Saved By the Bell is releasing a sex tape, which is the only way to revive a dead Hollywood career.
Cue this report from the San Francisco Chronicle: The 29-year-old, who played geek Screech Powers in “Saved By the Bell,” engages in a number of sexual acts with the women in the 40-minute tape.
(Why don’t I just throw-up right now and get it over with.)
If this doesn’t denote that there is something wrong with our I-Love-Birth-Control-Culture (Wisconsin Democrats, I’m talking to you), I don’t know what will.
But, as always, there are more important things:
President Bush will be in Chicago and St. Louis today.
A North Carolina website, based on unspecific information (at best), is speculating that Congressman Patrick McHenry is a closeted homosexual. [Gay Hickory]
Need to know: YouTube founders, a Silicon Valley version of Cheech and Chong if I’ve ever seen one (or, at the very least, those guys in Dude, Where’s My Car?), released a short video bragging about the sale of their company to Google. [You Tube]
I can’t stand: M.B.A.s
A Quinnipiac poll shows Tom Kean Jr. trailing corrupt New Jersey Senator Bob Menendez 49-45.
RNC:
Chairman Ken Mehlman assured Republicans yesterday that national security and taxes will drive the November elections.
CRNC:
As of this writing (with November just weeks away), there are five possible candidates for CRNC National Chairman:
Paul Gourley, Tom Robins, Charlie Smith, Brent Ludeman, and Brian Siler.
Note: Robins denies any possible candidacy.
It appears, at least according to my email inbox, that Ludeman is slowly gaining the needed momentum in opposition circles; but it remains to be seen what will happen if other candidates step up their efforts.
TO WIT – MEMORY AS IT EXISTS
As I refuse to lead with North Korea three days in a row (easy in theory, hard in practice), I will focus my effort elsewhere. Specifically with Jordan Edmund (mainly because his lawyer gets mad when you talk about him).
Yesterday, a rather grim Jordan Edmund emerged from an Oklahoma City federal building (accompanied by a rather grim attorney, Stephen Jones) after being questioned by the FBI for several hours. While we do not know what Mr. I-had-sexually-explicit-conversations-with-Mark-Foley said, we do know the following:
He was not a member of the Berkeley College Republicans.
He did not write for the California Patriot.
I can’t stand: People who get involved in Republican politics in college but refuse to join the College Republicans. (What’s the world I’m looking for?…jag-offs.)
Meanwhile, Edmund would not take questions from reporters immediately following the day’s events. (If you did nothing wrong, you hold a press conference immediately following your meeting with the FBI. This is America, Goddamnit.)
Edmund’s attorney said, “Jordan answered all of their questions, relying upon his memory as it exists.”
“Memory as it exists”? (You might as well convict him of perjury right now.)
The Rocky Mountain News reports that the Republican Governors Association (headed by Mitt Romney) has pulled out of the Colorado Gubernatorial and is focusing its efforts in Iowa, Maine, Oregon, Illinois, Arkansas, and Michigan.
Need to know: Seth Cohen was in Ohio supporting Sherrod Brown.
Need to know: Arnold Schwarzenegger appears on the Tonight Show with Jay Leno tonight—where it all began.
Need to know: The Maine College Republican Federation has raised a reported $53,000 since Nate Walton became state chairman.
TO WIT – DAFFY DUCK AND SWEDISH BLONDES
Right now, you’re probably in a catatonic state now that you’ve learned that North Korea—a charter member of the Axis of Evil—has obtained a nuclear device. (If the United States Government doesn’t tell us otherwise by the time this is published.)
But, we must keep in mind that North Korea and its ruthless dictator Kim Jong Il probably won’t use the said nuclear device anytime soon. (Perhaps because they’ve already wasted the only one they have in some mountain in North Korea.) You see, Kim Jong Il is addicted to power. (I think he loves his life of having sex with teenagers way too much to do something that would put his dictatorship in jeopardy.)
For example, we learn from the New York Post that Jong Il loves fine cognac (he’s a drunk!), Daffy Duck cartoons, and Swedish blondes. He reportedly has 13 illegitimate children. (Just what we need, an Asian version of Ted Kennedy.) [NY Post]
But, just in case my assumptions are wrong and a situation develops where we need to take unilateral action against North Korea: I hope to God (I capitalize His name here at TRUTH CAUCUS) San Francisco’s Nancy Pelosi isn’t Speaker of the House.
Of course, my hopes could be dashed in a few short weeks. Mark Foley and his merry men (gay pages horsing around) have nearly ruined our chances of keeping the house.
Jordan Edmund meets with federal investigators today in an undisclosed location. (Or what I like to call: “Oklahoma City.”)
President Bush welcomes the Peru president to the White House and speaks at the National 4-H conference today in Washington DC.
Tennessee Senate candidates Harold Ford Jr. and Bob Corker debate tonight at the University of Tennessee.
The Pennsylvania State University College Republicans (alma mater of Rick Santorum) say that the forced resignation of their chairman is an internal matter and will be dealt as an internal matter. (Ok.)
I can’t stand: U.N. Resolutions.
TO WIT – FOLEY BLOWN
As the stock market breaks records, and the North Koreans claim to be doing whatever-it-is that they claim to be doing, and as the Amish bury their dead (the only thing I know about the Amish involves having watched M. Night Shyamalan’s “The Village”), and as the Foley scandel finishes week two, we have a few things to talk about:
Jordan Edmund, a 21 year-old former Berkeley student working for Istook for Governor in Oklahoma City, claimed to friends and associates that his IM sessions were a joke (on his end) and that he wasn’t serious when he told Mark Foley that he turns him on.
He has since sought “legal refuge.”
One thing we do know is that Jordan Edmund previously worked on Shirley Horton’s campaign for California state assembly in San Diego—a campaign that was organized by the demonstrably excellent former California CR State Chairman Stephen Puetz.
I was tracking this story all day yesterday, sifting through a myriad of reports. Initially, Edmund told a source that his computer might have been hacked. (He wouldn’t want any of his conservative friends in the Bible Belt to think he’s gay, now would he?)
Does any of this explain why he had conversations of a sexual nature with Mark Foley and never said the word “stop”? Is he actually innocent in all of this? Or was he using Foley to advance his own political career—which will now come with a steep price: the House of Representatives.
One can only speculate (my second best friend) as to why Edmund has hired a criminal attorney (usually a sign that you’ve done something wrong, but not always). Perhaps he’s not going to sue ABC News for accidentally surrendering his identity. Perhaps he thinks he could be in legal jeopardy. Perhaps he has reason to believe that he needs an attorney who defended a man who has the blood of 168 Americans on his hands (Timothy McVeigh).
But, there are other things the media is concerned with.
Leave it to the New York Times to tell us what we need to know: Dennis Hastert has ate out every night since 1986. (Something that I could have told you by running a simple Google image search.) [NY Times]
Meanwhile, the wars on Capitol Hill continue.
Kirk Fordham, Tom Reynolds’ former Chief of Staff, says that he informed the Speaker’s staff (i.e. Ron Bonjean) about Mark Foley’s “inappropriate behavior” a long time ago.
The Speaker of the House Communications guru Ron Bonjean says, “What Kirk Fordham says did not happen.”
Stay tuned, we have ourselves a domestic dispute.
As if we need another story to make it look like we’re the party of “covering up sexual predation,” a Pennsylvania lawmaker, Eugene McGill, is defending allegations that he urged a judge in 2003 to show leniency for a friend who sexually assaulted a 14-year-old girl and was later labeled a violent predator by the court. [Philadelphia Inquirer]
TO WIT – ALL GAYS AREN’T PEDOPHILES
Let’s get a few things out in the open: Mark Foley isn’t an alcoholic and a clergy member never molested him. Rather, Foley is—as they say in Washington—a liar. And a pedophile.
But, we can’t focus on Foley’s sad state of affairs, or his recent bombshell revelation that he’s full-blown gay (like we didn’t get that idea after reading his AIM conversations where he asked a young boy if he masturbates with a towel). Instead, we need to focus on the aftermath. Mark Foley may very well have ruined our chances of keeping the House of Representatives in Republican hands—something we’ve had for 12 years.
So, here are a few things for Republican house members to do:
Say that you don’t know Mark Foley.
Say that Foley should receive various forms of medieval punishments.
Here is one thing you shouldn’t do:
Use AOL Instant Messenger.
President Bush will campaign in Scottsdale, Ariz. and Englewood, Colo. today.
California State CR Chairman Mason Harrison was in the audience yesterday for President Bush’s stop in Stockton, Calif.
TO WIT – I’M SUPER, THANKS FOR ASKING!
What I find—oh, how should I put this and not sound negative?—surprising…is not the number of gay Republican congressmen on the Hill, but rather the number of gay Republican congressional staffers on the Hill. (The place is starting to look like Rosie O’Donnell’s All Aboard! Family Cruise.)
But, of course, we can’t talk about that—any of it—because it would be too sensational.
A sign you’re dealing with a pedophile: A 50 year-old congressman asks you out for ice cream. [LA Times]
Does Dennis Hastert think that’s a sign? Who knows, but as of this hour, there is a growing rebellion in the house calling for his ouster.
I can’t stand: Emails that use html coding and java script. If you want to send an email that looks like a web page, please do what most sane people do: create a web page. Otherwise, stick with straight text. (Ahem…College Republican National Committee.)
Sources report that some field representatives—particularly in the Northeast—are going unpaid. One source says the CRNC is not paying representatives because of “inconclusive data reports.” (Which can be translated to: If we write them checks, they’ll bounce.)
I’m new to this whole Facebook thing, but I’m sure all of these people “friending me” and “poking me” aren’t my friends and don’t care about my general well-being (but for some reason, they need to know that I watch C-SPAN’s Washington Journal). Therefore, I’m going to institute a more stringent policy of accepting friend invitations (it’ll make things more exclusive, sort of like Studio 54—without the cocaine and man-on-man-on-man sex). I’ll accept one a day, or something like that. [Facebook TRUTH]
TO WIT – TOO MUCH TO DRINK
In an obvious sign that Mark Foley talked to his lawyer(s), he announced today that he’s a drunk.
Need to know: this is more of a legal strategy than a “life decision.”
Meanwhile, the sober Florida Republican Party is looking for a Foley replacement on the November ballot. Foley’s name will appear on ballots that are already printed. Republicans hope they can find a candidate who can overcome the Foley image in the Republican-leaning 16th district.
And as Republicans decide the best way to win in Palm Beach, they also are locked into a growing leadership dispute. Make no mistake: Hastert, Boehner, Reynolds, and Blunt are no longer friends.
President Bush will do a fundraiser in Reno, NV today before over-nighting in Stockton, Calif.
A Mason-Dixon poll shows Virginia Sen. George Allen tied with Jim Webb 43-43.
I can’t stand: People who post pictures of themselves making-out on Facebook. (Why do people do that?)
A few questions on the Justin Zatkoff situation (he was “punched in the face” and left for dead—police say his “friend” did it):
1. If the police know Zatkoff’s assailant, why hasn’t the person been arrested?
2. Is Zatkoff not pressing charges?
3. The Ann Arbor police believe that one punch made Zatkoff look like the Al-Zarqawi after photo?
As of this writing, roughly a month away from Election Day (and the unofficial kick-off to the CRNC election season) there are three candidates seriously looking at running for CRNC national chairman: Charlie Smith of Colorado, Brent Ludeman of Washington, and Brian Siler of Ohio. (Believe you me, there are several other state chairman waiting for groups of CRs “to beg them to run because they are not happy with the current available options.”)
Paul Gourley’s future plans are unknown. As is the location and date of the next CRNC national board meeting. (The leading locale is Denver; however, if Gourley decides to run for re-election, don’t count on that.)
TO WIT – I CHOKED MY MISTRESS AT THE AIRPORT
I know the House is in the balance and all, but I’m a little upset with President Bush for campaigning for Pennsylvania Congressman Don Sherwood. (He got caught choking his mistress at an airport.) [MCALL]
But then again, I guess this is better than being upset that Jack Abramoff had 485 contacts with White House officials.
(I ate at Signatures (“back in the day”), and not once did a waiter whisper in my ear that my $180 bottle of wine would be comped.)
I can’t stand: Men who abuse their mistresses.
Last night I talked with Justin Zatkoff via AIM, here’s what he said:
For the record the actual damage that was done to me is as follows: multiple fractures to the nose, including a displaced septum; multiple fractures to the cheek bone; and multiple fractures to the orbital socket (eye socket), primarily the orbital floor (right below my eye)—in order to repair it they actual have to make an incision on the top of my head, from ear to ear, and peal back my face to be able to get enough room to place the plates/screws on my face. And yes of course a police report was filed, in fact the hospital legally had to call the police as soon as I came in.
So, if there was any question about the seriousness of his injuries, let me state: They have to peal back his face. (Any time they have to peal back your face, you have problems.)
A reader complains:
I do have a minor criticism for the info posted by TruthCaucus though – while I think it is very clear from your original post that you were speculating as to the attacker’s identity and motivation, TC is big-time enough to attract serious scrutiny from the left and some care should be made about these types of things. Any statement can be taken out of context or conflated, and without the evidence, this case isn’t useful to the conservative or any cause.
Call me a sensationalist.
The Texas Tech daily newspaper ran an editorial noting its firing of Chad Greenfield, a college republican and Congressman Randy Neugebauer staffer—a story I told you all about last night. [Daily Toreador]
Sean Hannity campaigns for Senator George Allen today in Washington.
President Bush will spend the weekend at Camp David.
