Vietnam hero Richard “Dick” Blumenthal, having now learned that there is such a thing as “opposition research” in U.S. Senate campaigns, organized a ragtag group of elderly Marines and apparently Dennis Hopper (?) for his press conference today in an aggressive effort to save his campaign from the liberal New York Times and its monsters.
Everyone was so relieved when Chris Dodd announced he wouldn’t seek re-election, because then this attorney general guy Richard “Dick” Blumenthal could run and actually win, easily. He would be the next Barack Obama! And maybe he still will, but this New York Times article is kind of terribly and completely devastating. Seems Dick spent [...]
BEST REAGAN USAGE OF THE DAY: Linda McMahon, who owns the beloved pro wrestling organization WWE with her strange husband Vince, is running for the Republican Senate nomination in Connecticut. When asked how she balances her Political Values with the fact that she runs the most overtly trashy company in America, she just started babbling [...]
Liberal warblog celebrity Ned Lamont was last in the news back in 2008, when he sat down for a lengthy interview (“Hey are you Ned Lamont?”) with Wonkette’s Jim Newell aboard a shuttle bus in Denver, can’t remember the occasion. And before that, Lamont was a pin-up for the Daily Kos webzine, and then poor [...]
Here’s human corn-poopie Joe Lieberman musing over which political party he’ll choose to ruin next/again. At the end he devotes a bit of fappery towards becoming a “good old-fashioned New England moderate Republican,” like they used to have back in the ’50s and ’60s, until they voted to give black people basic Constitutional rights and [...]
Well, it’s “new” and “terrible” at least, which is why one should assume America’s beloved Democrats will run with it: “A top Senate Democrat on Friday suggested lawmakers ‘take a breather for a month, six weeks’ from healthcare reform. Sen. Chris Dodd (Conn.) told reporters the much-needed break would allow lawmakers to focus on other [...]
Stupid little bitch Joe Lieberman is more popular (.pdf) than ever! “Raleigh, N.C. – Joe Lieberman’s actions on the health care bill antagonized constituents both for and against it, and in the wake of that he finds his approval rating at just 25% with 67% of voters in the state disapproving of him.” Wow, who [...]
The people of Connecticut and America hate Chris Dodd so much, for his twin Scandals of (a) locking into a fixed mortgage rate at .25% lower than the average and (b) taking it upon himself to insert into the stimulus package strict executive compensation rules, which the White House ordered him to dilute for the [...]

In what is otherwise a fairly straight article about the latest failed hijinks from one of our nation’s two esteemed political parties, a reporter for the Hartford Advocate either forgets to put a certain phrase in quotes, or is just WACKY. Here’s a link, for using one off-key phrase, out of nowhere, in some alt-weekly! [...]
Linda McMahon, who runs a friendly wrestling company out of Connecticut with her husband, Vince, will run as a Republican for Chris Dodd’s Senate seat in 2010. Whatever. Here she is in a wrestling video getting struck with a move called, “The Standing-69 Gone Wrong.” [MoJo]
Here we are in Norwalk, Connecticut, for this latest August Racism Movie. Rep. Jim Himes was giving a health care town hall Wednesday night to a slightly more “pro-reform” crowd of dirty fucking hippies. Of course, the “anti-reform” folks were louder and constantly shouting mean things without permission to speak. This is the pretty standard [...]
Everybody knows that the thrice-married, opera-loving Manhattan dandy Rudy Giuliani lived with a gay couple while in between wives. You’d think that was mean he was pretty OK with the hedonist homosexual gay lifestyle, but apparently you’d be wrong, because he had his secretary phone in his regrets two days before the wedding of his [...]
