Let’s Help Out a Progressive Candidate

Filed in Delaware by on September 29, 2010 7 Comments

Jim Westhoff is running in the 35th against Dave Wilson. Jim is a progressive candidate in what is not a progressive district. Here’s a clip of his opening statement at a forum the other night: [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_z2qkQwGK1c[/youtube]. Jim could use some shekels to help with his campaign. He’s been canvassing his butt off and has signs […]

Tuesday’s Asshat of the Day

Filed in National by on September 28, 2010 1 Comment

It would be too, too easy to give this to Sen. Jim “I am the King of the Senate” DeMint for his unilateral decision to halt all work in the Senate unless the bills meet his smell test. But I decided to go with Sharon Angle, the Mad Aunt of our very own O’Whack-a-Mole. Did […]

Monday’s Asshat of the Day

Filed in Delaware by on September 27, 2010 9 Comments

I’m in a quandary. I’m not sure if I should award this politician an Asshat award or a Chutzpah award. Last Saturday night, the Hola Awards were given out to people who work to strengthen the Hispanic community. It was a sold-out affair at the Rehoboth Beach Convention Center. A few politicians were in attendance, […]

Friday’s Asshat of the Day

We all know that the teabaggers have taken over the GOP. Some of them are just batshit crazy (Angle, Paul, O’Whack-a-Mole). But some of them are just outright dangerous. Take today’s Asshat of the Day. Jim Russell, who is challenging Democratic incumbent Nita Lowey in NY is a conservative Christian author and activist who doesn’t […]

Have Some of Us Been Correct about COD’s Motives? – UPDATED

Filed in Delaware by on September 24, 2010 20 Comments

So maybe all of the pundits and bloggers have been wise to COD’s motives after all. As Suzy Parker writes on Politics Daily If O’Donnell loses to Democrat opponent Chris Coons, she’ll likely land her own television show. Maybe that’s what she’s been after all of these years. Parker points out that during COD’s “career,” […]

Thursday’s Asshat of the Day

Filed in National by on September 23, 2010 19 Comments

According to wingnuts, I mean conservatives, there is too much government and the only thing that progressives want is more government. Well, here’s a shocker for you. Here’s something that I believe is totally ridiculous for any government to regulate: The District [of Columbia] makes it illegal for anyone to work as a “sightseeing guide” […]

Will the Real Jon Moseley Please Stand Up!

Remember a few days back when Christine O’Whack-a-Mole’s former campaign manager decided to weigh in on our blog with his thoughts on her deceit? Thanks to some intrepid searching by commenter Boxwood, we are finding out new things about Jon Moseley. We all know from his website that he’s an ambulance chasing attorney. He also […]

Wednesday’s Asshat of the Day

Filed in National by on September 22, 2010 22 Comments

What would you call an older man in his 70’s who makes inappropriate remarks about a female colleague? I call him our Asshat of the Day. Harry Reid, who’s won this award before, thought he was being funny at a fundraiser for Mayor Michael Bloomberg the other night when he called Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand the […]

Tuesday’s Asshat of the Day – UPDATED

John McCain. Blanche Lincoln. Susan Collins. Mark Pryor. Mitch McConnell. Hell, the entire Rethuglican Senate Caucus. What do these people all have in common? They all hate our troops! They all voted against the Defense Authorization Bill, thus putting our troops at risk. They voted to support a filibuster against the DAB. They are our […]

Monday’s Asshat of the Day

Today’s awardee will probably be praised by some of the Rethuglicans who troll our website. Jimmy Carter, the 39th President thinks that he is far superior to all of the former Presidents still living. And he still carries a hard-on for Ted Kennedy after 30 years, blaming Kennedy for his loss to Reagan. Carter has […]

Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert will hold competing marches on the Mall on October 30, 2010. If you care about America, if you care about your government, or if you just want to be in DC on Halloween weekend (go to the Miss Adams Morgan pageant if you can get a ticket), you must go […]
