Last week, the RNC sent out a typically handwringing press release demanding that Democrats who took contributions from Eliot Spitzer return them. I’m not sure about the logic of that one, since the money he made wasn’t illegal, he just spent it illegally. Heck, any money he contributed to Senator so-and-so’s campaign was less money […]
I returned from Mass yesterday morning, turned on the teevee and there was Jon Kyl being interviewed by Wolf Blitzer.
Wow, that killed any sort of closeness to God right there.
Kyl engaged in a bit of rhetorical silliness that I still haven’t figured out: he refused to give his opinion on whether waterboarding is torture or […]
Little question for you, I know that the Senate immigration compromise is probably dead, although all sorts of things can happen. We know where most of our federal officials are on it, except maybe Jon Kyl (for it before he was against it?). What about our potential federal officials. I’m thinking of Tim Bee. His […]
Hey, anyone notice that one of the people that voted against cloture on the Senate’s vaunted immigration compromise today was a certain Jon Llewellyn Kyl?
Yeah…remember how the guy was getting so much credit for forging this compromise (after campaigning last year against such compromises)? Hmm…he must love his compromise so much that he doesn’t want […]
You may remember that Republican Mahout Randy Pullen sent out a press release decrying the Senate immigration compromise, a fact that many of us have found interesting given that Jon Kyl has been credited for being the main guy pushing for it.
(Of course, many of the provisions of the bill were exactly the sorts of things […]
State Rep. Russell Pearce, such a good friend of this blog, is asking Sen. John McCain to resign. McCain has missed numerous votes because of his campaign.
The Tucson Citizen editorialized about this back in March, and Talking Points Memo has pointed out that many of these votes that McCain has missed have been on the very issue […]
Early last month, State Republican Chair Randy Pullen sent out a press release on the eve of President Bush’s visit to Yuma warning Democrats not to oppose the President’s stance on the border. Of course, Democrats were probably closer to Bush on the issue than Pullen himself was.
The press release, sent on April 5th, contained this paragraph:
Just […]
One of John McCain’s lines in the debate the other night was saying he doesn’t change his positions in even numbered years. Apparently, this isn’t a quality that his seat mate shares.
We are all supposed to slap Jon Kyl on the back for being such a swell guy and taking the lead on an immigration […]
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, […]
Check out this letter from Jon Kyl in this morning’s Arizona Republic. Kyl is claiming that he was not “fine” with the firing of US Attorney Paul Charlton. This would be in conflict with earlier e-mails that said that Kyl knew about the firing and had approved it.
Okay, three things could be happening here:
Kyl is […]
