This is My Favorite Political Candidate this Year

Filed in National by on October 21, 2010 6 Comments

Jimmy McMillan of the Rent is Too Damn High Party is running for Governor in New York. I wish we had a candidate like him in Delaware.

Because we all know, the rent is too damn high!

Wednesday’s Asshat of the Day

Filed in National by on October 20, 2010 24 Comments

Drunk dialing. It’s what someone does when they’ve had one too many. Most of us have done it at one time in our lives, most likely when we were in college. But in a exercise of extreme chutzpah, Virginia Thomas, wife of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, decided to call Anita Hill after 19 years […]

Tuesday’s Asshat of the Day

Mmm good. Mmm good. That’s why Campbell Soups are mmm mmm good. Well, they are good, unless you’re Pamela Geller. Geller, who writes a right-wing blog that has been called extreme by The Guardian, began a boycott of Campbell soups because they are making a line of Halal-certified soups in Canada. In Canada! The halal […]

More Bad Behavior from Political Thugs

Filed in National by on October 19, 2010 0 Comments

Is it me or does GOP now stand for the Goon Old Party? We read yesterday about Joe Miller (Teabag-AK) whose private security people handcuffed a reporter for no reason. And Miller made a bullshit claim that the contract with the school where the town hall meeting was being held “required” him to have private […]

Monday’s Asshat of the Day

Filed in Delaware by on October 18, 2010 6 Comments

We’ve been entertained over the last month by our local witch/not a witch, Christine O’Donnell. Not only does she employ thugs similar to Joe Miller in Alaska, but she lies about not running negative ads. Chrissie-pooh, wasn’t that you at the end of the “taxman” ad saying you approved the message, and then blinking with […]

Does Glen Urquhart Have a Problem Paying His Bills?

Filed in Delaware by on October 17, 2010 24 Comments

Christine O’Donnell isn’t the only Republican candidate for Federal office in Delaware who seems to have a problem paying their bills. A check of the Delaware Court system on-line database, shows that Glen Urquhart (Teabag/Confederate) has been sued at least 5 times for not paying his bills on time. While the database doesn’t go into […]

More Republican Hypocrisy and Nonsense

Filed in National by on October 17, 2010 0 Comments

A Democratic incumbent is taking his teabagging opponent out to the woodshed for slamming the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act while also benefiting from it. Congressman Ed Perlmutter (D-CO 7), blasted his opponent, Ryan Frazier, for calling the stimulus program a failure while the charter school Frazier is vice president of took $100,000 in stimulus […]

Someone at the NRCC Didn’t Do Their Job

Filed in National by on October 16, 2010 22 Comments

It seems like everyday, we’re getting a new bunch of teabagging rethuglican Congressional candidates who are not what the NRCC thought they were. Last week, we blogged about Richard Iott, who likes to re-enact being a member of the SS. And now we have Blake Farenthold, who likes duckie pajamas and pole dancers. Well, maybe […]

Friday’s Asshat of the Day

Filed in National by on October 15, 2010 1 Comment

Today’s award doesn’t go to an individual, but to a Federal government agency and one of it’s contractors. Today we honor the US Office of Personnel Management and Aetna Insurance. Aetna is one of the companies that provide health benefits through the Federal Employees Health Benefits Program (FEHBP). And as Think Progress points out today, […]

Thursday’s Asshat of the Day

Filed in National by on October 14, 2010 12 Comments

It seems that Carl Paladino had some second thoughts about his homophobic statements he made this past Sunday while visiting an Orthodox Jewish synagogue in Brooklyn. And those second thoughts and the apology he issued have cost him the endorsement of today’s asshat, Rabbi Yehuda Levin. Levin is what we call in Yiddish a tuchas […]

No Asshat Today

Filed in International by on October 13, 2010 7 Comments

I was going to post an asshat award today, but instead, I’m honoring the men and women from numerous countries who worked for over two months to rescue the 33 Chilean miners. Many times we throw the word “hero” around to loosely, making some very mundane actions heroic. What these men and women did to […]

Tuesday’s Asshat of the Day

Gee, so many to chose from today. We have Ken Buck, the teabag candidate for Senate in CO who Unstable Isotope wrote about in the Open Thread today (he has some women issues, especially with women who have been raped). We have Celia Cohen, who Liberal Geek excoriated for her hit piece on Chip Flowers. […]
