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 […]

Rick Renzi and the Failure of the Establishment

Back in 1997, I happened to be doing an off-site project for the company I was working for. This meant I spent the summer in Phoenix, where I learned that summers can, in fact, be worse than they are in Tucson.
So I was up there the day that J. Fife Symington III was convicted of […]

Russert Presses McCain to Denounce and Reject Hagee. I’m Kidding of Course.

Given the title of this blog, I would be remiss to comment on John McCain and his newest supporter, the Reverend John Hagee.
Folks all over the Blogoverse have been asking the question, where are the Tim Russerts of the world asking if McCain agrees with Hagee’s more extreme views? Is he going to be asked […]

Oh, We Thought It Was Richie Cunningham

Gosh, John McCain was so darned apologetic, wasn’t he? What the heck were his people thinking inviting this guy in the first place? It isn’t as though he hasn’t said this stuff before.
So, is this going to be the pattern for Mr. Straight Talk? Let his surrogates spew hate speech for the knuckle-dragging-mouth-breather crowd and […]

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 […]

Standing Steadfastly for Principles…Or Something

Tom Delay, way back like, three or four weeks ago:

Now, Delay is campaigning for John McCain, speaking to anti-McCain bitter ender Rob Haney and his Republican district club.
In addition to that fun, one wonders why McCain, who was the guy who is famously the maverick for standing up against the fundraising tactics and big spending […]

He Did Say Straight Talk, Didn’t Mention Anything About Voting

I’ve heard more than one pundit mention that this presidential election will be unique because the likely nominees for both major parties come from the United States Senate. This means that not only will votes be scrutinized during the race, but that there will be pressure on the candidates to advance their programs during the […]
