Star Criticizes Brewer, Praises Her

Why I get frustrated:
The Star ran an editorial that at first was critical of Jan Brewer’s debate performance, but immediately hedges in their sub-headline by saying that Terry Goddard disappointed too. Heaven forbid we criticize the Republican for turning in a performance that adds to our stream of nationally known political embarrassments without tempering [...]

Drawback

With everyone poking fun at La Cervecera for her stumbling opening statement and her comedic dodges about “headless bodies,” no one seems to have noticed the biggest lies she told: the claims that she balanced the budget and she’s saved our economy.
The big irony is that she at the same time claims that Terry Goddard [...]

And to Answer the Governor’s Question…

Yes, Terry Goddard has a jobs plan. Of course, it is quite a bit longer than your average slogan or soundbite, so if that is what La Cervecera is looking for, she won’t be happy.

La Cervecera Stumbles

I’ve been hearing the name James Stockdale an awful lot over the last twelve hours. The comparison to Jan Brewer is unfair.
Unfair to Stockdale, that is.
Stockdale was a hero who was willing to risk his life for his fellow prisoners of war and a figure of incredible intelligence who, much to the discredit of Ross [...]

Quick Take, More Later

Is there anyone who still wonders why the crowd around La Cervecera wants to keep her out of interviews and public appearances?

Gratuitous Soccer Reference

Terry Goddard and La Cervecera are scheduled to debate tomorrow at seven o’clock. This has led to the cancellation of my district club meeting thus delaying my having to show up with my tail between my legs as a primary loser for another month.
My first thought about the debate scheduling was, “Hey, how can they [...]

Glass Houses and So Forth

One of the dangers of oh-so-clever snark is when it can be thrown back at you. Paul Gosar is finding this out in his race against Ann Kirkpatrick.
Gosar’s new attack is “Where Is Ann Kirkpatrick?” He’s alleging, of course, that Kirkpatrick is MIA. Kirkpatrick’s people put out a press release this morning detailing public events [...]

Where’s Jan?

Terry Goddard has a new YouTube clip detailing the various public and press appearances ducked by La Cervecera. This is a strategy pioneered by Sarah Palin in 2008 it was largely successful, so now any candidate who is uncomfortable answering questions is doing it (Check out Rand Paul, Meg Whitman and Sharron Angle this year). [...]

Me Being a Liberal Bedwetter Again

I heard an actuality this morning on KUAZ where Jan Brewer complained about the unions “importing” people to protest against SB 1070. So, she’s telling us that opposition to 1070 is not being generated by locals, but by nefarious all-powerful labor unions (and probably ACORN, they only want you to think that they closed up [...]

La Cervecera Goes on the Attack

Just got an e-mail from Jan Brewer’s campaign in which she takes on Dean Martin. Martin has had some days of decent press lately. Since he’s the State Treasurer, he can couch his criticisms of the legislature and governor as part of his ministerial responsibilities. She can’t be too happy about the free ride he’s [...]
