Joe Barton Knows All He Needs to Know
Joe Barton (R-Denial) and Al Gore sparred in Congressional hearings yesterday. Al got the better of him. It wasn’t really fair, it was a battle of wits and Barton was unarmed. But Barton was so sure that he knew all he needed to know about Global Warming so he read the newspaper during a part […]
Compelling Presidential Advisors to Testify
As you may have seen, we are looking at a showdown in Congress this week. Looks like the Democrats are ready to subpoena some senior Bush officials. Yesterday Fox News’ Tony Snow said that the administration will oppose these subpoenas. The Congressional Research Service did a report on times when Presidential advisors were called to […]
Atkins gets weakest of four punishments
Here are the winners and losers: John Atkins: Big Winner. You can now drive drunk and beat up you wife if you are a state rep. The precedent has been set. Wayne Smith: Winner. He had to hurry up his quitting, but landed a big money job without having to piss off anyone at Leg […]
DelawareLiberal Job Search
I hate to put a good mind to waste. It looks like Alberto Gonzales will be out of a job soon (I am betting on Friday, but Tuesday would make a nice birthday present). I was thinking that given the incredible creativity of the Delaware Liberal readers and the connections that Gonzo has, we should […]
Wonky Wednesday: Homework Coming Due!
The Public Service Commission (PSC) is accepting comments on the three energy proposals under review through Friday, March 23, which means policy wonks are busy polishing their arguments on which energy solution would best serve the public interest.To encourage submissions to the PSC, I announced the TommyWonk Energy Essay Contest. Send me your comments, and […]
What Delaware Republican Party?
With RINO Castle as the leader, a DuPont courtier running for Governor and a state house full of organized labor lovers – where is a good old fashioned Delaware wingnut to turn for comfort? Not to this Delaware grapevine column, that is for sure.
The clock is ticking
Bob Barr shows that maybe there really is a surviving remnant of Reagan conservatives somewhere out there in the Bushy wilderness. (Formerly insane Bob)Barr blasted the White House, saying “the integrity of the Department of Justice is being used as a political football by the administration to prove who’s the toughest hombre in all this.” […]
Why is Colm Connelly a Good Bushie?
So in the wake of the fired U.S. Attorney scandal I think we should stop asking why all of those U.S.A’s were fired and start asking how our own Colm Connelly is making sure that he is licking the boots of the Bush Administration.
Mike Castle reverses the forces of nature with the wave of his mighty hand
All of you small government, anti-pork, “tax cuts work” GOPers must be proud of your boy for this bit of transparent vote buying.
El Stupido !
Cubans in Miami are steaming mad at former Gov. Mitt Romney for shooting his mouth off in stumbling Spanish, mispronouncing names and erroneously associating a notorious Fidel Castro-spewed Communist catch phrase with freedom fighters. (Link) Do we really need another clueless rich guy who pretends to be a spanish speaker? I think not.
Independents Flee the Party of Bush
This MSNBC survey shows that everyone has accepted the fact that Bush is a moron. No real news in that. The interesting part is where you can see that people who identify themselves as “Independents” hold views that are very similar to Democrats and diverge dramatically from he views of self-identified Republicans. So, not only […]
Happy Anniversary from the RNC
[In order to celebrate four years of flushing your tax money down the toilet – the RNC invites you to flush some of your disposable income as well.] Dear Dr. Nick, Some liberal Democrats in Congress want to usurp President Bush’s powers as Commander-in-Chief of the armed forces. Democrat leaders John Murtha and Nancy Pelosi […]
