I’m thinking we need to change the name from “Whack Job of the Week.” They are all whack jobs. Maybe a different name every week, or something like that. For Bunning, a Hall of Fame baseball player and barely adequate human, I’m thinking “Bobblehead” works. I̵...

I’m here at CPAC, where I’ve had the opportunity to meet briefly with Senate GOP Leader Mitch McConnell to talk over current issues. After a strong speech (which you might ultimately be able to find here), McConnell addressed questions from several bloggers. To me, the most notable answe...

McConnell's remarks are once again available for your review below. Yes, it's the same speech he's been making. And it's the same sp...

Max Blumenthal thinks Republicans should think twice about taking advice from Rush Limbaugh. An October 24, 2008, poll conducted by the Democratic research firm Greenberg-Quinlan-Rosner has Rush Limbaugh enjoying a public-approval rating of just 21 percent among likely voters, while 58 percent have ...
