Didn’t We Already Get Rid of this Guy?

The Tucson Citizen used to have an editor named Peter Bronson. His editorials were usually in that faux populist territory now also occupied by Bill O’Reilly and company. The thesis espoused in every one of his pieces was “Democrats are effete know it alls, as opposed to Republicans who are all working stiffs that throw […]

The Republicans and Latin-teenos

First off, I’d like to give Rush Limbaugh a bit of help. Apparently, he can’t tell the difference between Antonio Villaraigosa and a “shoeshine guy.” That’s right, a well dressed, successful Latino looks just like a “shoeshine guy.” Far be it from me to accuse Limbaugh of racism, I mean, I keep hearing from folks on the […]

Times Takes Interest in McCain Wheeling Dealing

Slowly (too slowly, but what can you do?) some national news outlets are starting to take a look at John McCain’s backroom deals. Check out this piece run in the New York Times this morning about McCain’s relationship with local land razer Don Diamond. Thankfully, they did not allege an affair in this case.
Our boy Ray Carroll […]

File That Under “Campaign Stunt”

Wow, John McCain has this innovative proposal for a “gas tax holiday.” Yeah, he understands economics (and, as the son of an admiral and husband of an heiress, he certainly understands the plight of the working man more than that Barack Obama).
John, you let those lefty yahoos go on about how the gas tax represents […]

Yeah, I Remember That Cartoon. I Still Don’t Get Why the Orangutan Talked Like Edward G. Robinson, Though…

I’m hearing various theories about John McCain’s coattails here in Arizona. I’m not buying that he’ll have much of them. Even Barry Goldwater’s candidacy didn’t produce much in the way of coattails here (even though it did in the South). His friend Richard Kleindienst lost to Democrat Sam Goddard for Governor at the same time […]

In Other News, Col. Custer Is Touting His Leadership at the Little Big Horn

I caught a snippet from John McCain’s speech to the Center for National Policy, a socially conservative think tank. He is still trying to reassure social conservatives that he is one of them. One of the things he brought up was that he led an effort to amend the Arizona Constitution to ban gay marriage.
If […]

Friggin’ Brilliant, Senator. I Wonder Why No One Has Used That Against Obama Before?

From John McCain’s website:

Finally: McCain Undergoes the Same Scrutiny as Everyone Else

Whatever the truth is about the details of John McCain’s relationship with ”that” lobbyist, it looks like finally the media’s favorite candidate is going to get scrutinized the same way any other candidate would.
There has been some too easy dismissal of the more salacious charges. Chris Matthews, for example, had an interview with a McCain campaign […]

Some Thoughts On This Whole McCain Thing

First off, I’m going to disappoint many of you (I’m looking at you, Mom) when I say that I don’t believe that John McCain had a sexual relationship with this lobbyist that they are talking about. For one thing, I think Cindy would fry up his testicles with the morning eggs and serve them to him […]

Audience Participation Portion of the Show

I’m just a little curious about the answer to this from all y’all. How many of you have actually met any of the candidates who are running (or were running) for president this year?
I’ve met four of them:
John Edwards: He’s made numerous visits to Tucson. I only actually met him during one of them though. […]
