Candidate Reactions to Blumenthal ServiceGate
18. May 2010
ServiceGate? ‘NamGate? I’m still working on -Gate name for this scandal. In the meantime, ServiceGate it shall be. Anyway, what was I doing…oh, right, candidate reactions. This will be a running thread. Rob Simmons (R), an actual veteran of the Vietnam war, having been awarded two Bronze Stars. He retired as a Colonel in the [...]
DSCC’s Spin Somehow More Pathetic Than Expected
18. May 2010
It’s not that I expected the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee (DSCC) to come out and condemn Attorney General Dick Blumenthal (D-CT) for lying about his military service. The political organization is specifically charged with electing Democrats to the Senate, and Blumenthal is the best Democratic chance to hold the seat occupied by disgraced Senator Chris [...]
Video: Richard Blumenthal Lies About His Military Record
17. May 2010
Here’s actual video of his March 2, 2008, speech in which Attorney General Richard Blumenthal (D-CT) claimed to have served in Vietnam. Which we now know is complete bunk. He received multiple deferments — mostly for educational or career purposes — until 1970, when he enlisted in the Marine Corps Reserves for domestic duties. He [...]
Contrary to Claims, Richard Blumenthal Didn’t Serve In Vietnam
17. May 2010
Connecticut Attorney General Richard Blumenthal, a Democrat, is running to replace retiring and disgraced Senator Chris Dodd (D-CT). He’s also, how do I put this, a disgraceful fucking liar. How so? He claimed to be a veteran of the Vietnam war. Only problem? The New York Times says he never served in Vietnam. At a [...]
Napolitano: Why, No, I Haven’t Read the Arizona Law
17. May 2010
First the Attorney General and now the Secretary of Homeland Security. Both have heavily criticized SB 1070, neither one has actually read the legislation. You get the feeling that the Obama Administration kind of just launched attacks against the law because its goal is to stop illegal immigration. By the way, the legislation is so [...]
Poll: Rubio Takes Lead in Three-Way Race
17. May 2010
Marco Rubio, the conservative Republican candidate for United States Senate in Florida, has taken an eight-point lead over his closest rival, Flip-Flop Charlie Crist. Kendrick Meek, the likely Democratic nominee, trails far behind both competitors. A new Rasmussen Reports telephone survey of likely voters in Florida finds Republican Marco Rubio with 39% support, while Crist [...]
Amen, My Vodka-Swilling Brother
17. May 2010
Stephen Green posts his anger with webmasters for adding links and advertisements to clipboards. I’ve noticed this annoying habit lately as well. What happens is, you copy text from, say, a Politico article for a blockquote. Here’s the original text: The Obama administration isn’t publicly celebrating a nuclear fuel swap deal announced Monday in Tehran [...]
Muslim Woman Wins Miss USA Crown: Thoughts
17. May 2010
A few thoughts on this news. Daniel Pipes calls the Miss USA win by a Muslim woman “affirmative action”, noting a trend throughout the United States and Europe of Muslims suddenly winning crowns. That may be the case; who knows. It’s become clear that these contests are generally run and/or judged by leftists and we [...]
Obama Refuses Questions At…Freedom of Press Act Signing
17. May 2010
A few options: 1) Obama simply doesn’t care about the domestic public image of his administration; 2) He, perhaps justifiably, doesn’t expect the media to make too big of a deal due to their infatuation with his awesomeness; or 3) He has absolutely no sense of irony. Washington (CNN) – After the signing of the [...]
