Richard Lugar, he of the many-termèd Indiana senate run, lostto fop Richard Mourdock in the state's Republican primary Tuesday night, because Lugar is AULDE and believes in a passé political system similar to the one that John McCain believed in before he became a born-again baby. In his concession speech, Lugar very clearly outlined the insanity of the present-day Republican party and the "headwinds" he faced as a bipartisan-loving old softy running against the passed wind of the Tea Party. Well, that upset some people, because it was so rude. Melinda Henneberger of preeminent feminist blog SHE [UNDERSCORED WITH LIPSTICK] THE PEOPLE is one such (she)rson, and as part of a new, promising tactic at the Washington Post, Henneberger both cut and pasted bits of Lugar's speech AND took on the voice of Lugar for her "news" "article" this morning and it's probably going to get at least four pageviews discounting her own endless "open page in new tab" efforts. In her biggest play of the post, Henneberger says the Lugar campaign staff really should have "seen to it" that Lugar's concession speech
Lugar was so old, it was a new school when he started.
As we say in my house, "you're lyin' like a Republican".
He's still a senator. Perhaps his newly spoken truths will lead him away from being part of Team No for the rest of the year.
Fine, but the message from the teabaggers is that "running the country' is a bad thing, and the less of it the better.
yeah, but so do we.
Rightwing blogs are aflame now, saying this proves he wasn't a conservative and unworthy of their support.
Bipartisanship? BAH!
Nice bit of misdirection there, if I do say so myself.
Rep. Boner is not amused by your Dick jokes.
