There seems to be some noise about getting former Senate President Ken Bennett to run for Rick Renzi’s seat. Geez, the Republicans are talking about this and the guy’s political body ain’t even cold yet. That ain’t a good sign, is it?
Bennett was talked up as a candidate for governor, even John McCain was rumored to [...]
So, let me get this right, Karl Rove told Sheryl Crow not to touch him? You know, folks are right about me, I just don’t understand the Republican mind.
Of course, these are guys that think that Ann Coulter is “hot.”
Last week, after his wife’s buisiness was raided by the FBI, Rick Renzi stepped down from the House Intelligence Committee.
Now, here’s the funny part: he didn’t step down from the House Natural Resources Committee, the committee that handled the land swaps that got him into trouble in the first place.
It would be like someone who got too [...]
I watched a wee bit of Arizona Capitol Television yesterday. I really have no excuse for this. I don’t have a head injury and the remote worked just fine. I don’t know what came over me.
I caught a bit of a hearing on SR 1003, which would reject recommendations from the Governor’s office on salaries [...]
With the word “Renzi” looking more and more synonymous with the word “toast,” there is a Democratic candidate making noises: Rep. Ann Kirkpatrick from Flagstaff.
Kirkpatrick has already met with various pooh-bahs from both the DCCC and Arizona’s congressional delegation, and people have been supportive (but short of outright endorsement, of course). Some talk even suggests [...]
As they start to realize they are losing the global warming argument, the new tack of conservatives is to attack the energy use of environmentalists. To hear them tell it, if you are concerned about global warming, you are commanded to live in a little cabin somewhere off the power grid and ride your bike around [...]
I’ve been asking around because I haven’t been able to figure out why Jon Kyl’s questions to Alberto Gonzales have been virtually unreported by either the local or national media. It’s strange, both because we kept hearing in the last campaign about how valuable Kyl is because of his high profile on committees like Judiciary, [...]
Thanks to TucsonMark, we have a link to this morning’s Wall Street Journal article detailing the allegations against Rick Renzi. Apparently, it involves an alfalfa field near Sierra Vista. What, no buckwheat?
Renzi tried to get Resolution Copper Company, who wanted to sink a new underground mine near Superior, to buy the field in exchange for arranging the [...]
The word is out that the Wall Street Journal has had a reporter in the state for the last couple of weeks turning over every possible rock to get the goods on Rick Renzi. Talk is that tomorrow’s edition of the Journal will feature a blockbuster story about the invesitgation into the land swap.
So…where is [...]
As much as I disliked John Ashcroft or even Edwin Meese, I always thought the guys were smart and knew what they were doing. They were serious people who were up to the job. I don’t get that impression about Alberto Gonzales. I don’t know, something about him just tells me he is way out [...]
