There's a very simple explanation for why Steve Lonegan lost last week's special election for U.S. Senate to Cory Booker: The government shutdown. OK, that, and Lonegan's being a loathsome asshat, maybe. But mostly the government shutdown, Lonegan told the Star-Ledger
&ldquo;Our polls showed us gaining fast,&rdquo; he said. Then Rick Perry came to town. And then <a href="http:\/\/www.dailykos.com\/story\/2013\/10\/14\/1247084\/-NJ-Sen-Sarah-Palin-Uses-Hand-For-Notes-During-Rally-For-Steve-Lonegan-R" target="_blank">Griftzilla came to town. </a>
Ah, yes. &quot;All realtors are extraterrestrials.&quot; I think that one&#039;s from <a href="http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Snarkout-Boys-Avocado-Death\/dp\/0688008712\/ref=sr_1_2\?s=books&amp\;ie=UTF8&amp\;qid=1382452903" target="_blank">The Snarkout Boys and the Avocado of Death</a>, but it&#039;s been a while.
<i>&quot;If I had known it was going to happen and that it was going to be handled so badly in Washington, I wouldn&rsquo;t have run for senate.&rdquo; </i>
Yes, if only the stunt had been &quot;run well&quot;. Because there&#039;s nothing like government dysfuction and a federal default to inspire people. How this asshat got more than the mandatory 25% &#039;baggger vote is a mystery.

DBB Libel. Really.

Never have I seen the word &quot;primary&quot; used with such menace.
Well, when you look at it adjectively....

I blame the refs.
It&#039;s the ones without photo ID. If only there were some way to keep them from voting...
