Sarah Palin On a Train to Destruction
In an interview with Chris Wallace on Fox News last Sunday, former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin continued to marinate in her smugness. Remember how she wrote a lengthy Facebook post a few weeks ago, where she complained about the attacks on Newt Gingrich? She wrote about how they would have embarrassed Ronald Reagan and Barry Goldwater had they been alive…

Rick Santorum Goes Medieval
“I think that could be a very compromising situation, where people naturally may do things that may not be in the interest of the mission, because of other types of emotions that are involved.”
That quote is lifted from an interview that CNN’s John King made with former Pennsylvania Senator Rick Santorum a few days ago. The presidential candidate was talking about women in the military, something he seems to disapprove of as much as gays in the military (or anywhere else for that matter…)…

A Compromise That Works
I didn’t feel like writing about the latest religious controversy propelled by the grumpy, old men who run the Catholic Church, but the clip above from The Daily Show with Jon Stewart is so good that it needs to be spread wherever possible…

Colbert v. the Supreme Court, Round 2: Enter Pelosi
Stephen Colbert’s campaign to fight the Supreme Court’s dangerous Citizens United v. Federal Election decision is really heating up. As I wrote a few weeks ago, the comedian enlisted former Republican presidential candidate Herman Cain, and now he’s getting help from House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi. In the ad above, she’s attacking Colbert as the “conservative icon” we all know, even managing to get a dig at Newt Gingrich in the process…

Romney Limping to the Nomination
The last time I wrote about the presidential contest, former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney was about to win the Nevada caucuses. Time to have a proper update on what’s been going on and where the candidates stand now….

Coulter Leads the Witch Hunt
The freak show known as CPAC is currently taking place in Washington, DC. It’s that event where all kinds of famous conservatives show up and compete over who stands closest to Genghis Khan. The clip above shows the failed presidential candidate and famed foot-in-mouther Rick Perry talking to his fellow knuckle-draggers, attacking women’s rights, climate change, the right to an education, and what have you…

Gingrich's New Target: The Subway
One of Mitt Romney’s latest ads for Nevada paints Newt Gingrich as a person who was forced out of his position as Speaker of the House in disgrace (which is not 100 per cent true) and then cashed in as a “DC insider”, earning money from Freddie Mac (that part is true)…

Trump and Romney Put the Hate Aside
It may feel like forever since I last wrote a blog entry, but it really hasn’t been that long. This simply is a race where a lot of things happen fast. Former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney won the Florida primary, as expected. Former Speaker Newt Gingrich was defeated, but he pretended like it never happened. In his speech that night, he didn’t mention Romney’s name and he didn’t congratulate him…

Dole Buries Gingrich
The Newt Gingrich camp is fast. The ad above, titled “What kind of man?”, features clips from last night’s Republican debate in Jacksonville. The ad’s worst aspect is the attack on Romney for criticizing Gingrich’s labeling of Spanish as the “language of the ghetto”. The Governor’s critique is not a lie, but the Gingrich camp’s effort to defend the Speaker’s words is…

Two Rounds of Romney v. Gingrich
Visit msnbc.com for breaking news, world news, and news about the economy
Since my last blog entry, there have been two additional debates between the Republican candidates for president, one on NBC and one on CNN. You can watch both above. They took place in Florida, which is the site of the next GOP primary, on January 31. All eyes were on former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney and former Speaker Newt Gingrich…

A rant now and then on the state of politics in America and elsewhere. I watch too much cable news, I'm so sorry.
