A Bet Offer That Probably Looked Better Yesterday

Thursday, October 25, 2007 – 4:47 pm

Presidential candidate and Representative Tom Tancredo may be a hate-spewing racist, but he has a sense of humor:
Rep. Tom Tancredo (R-CO) offered a wager to Republican presidential rival Mitt Romney, according the Boston Globe. If the Colorado Rockies lose the World Series, Tancredo will bow out of the election if Romney also agrees to […]

Next Time, Let Them Know You’ll Be Dropping In

Mitt Romney pulls a Richardson:
The hospital that former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney used as a backdrop Monday to pan Sen. Hillary Clinton’s, D-New York, healthcare plan is criticizing Romney for using the facility as a prop for his news conference.
“We find it unfortunate that Mr. Romney misappropriated the image and good will of St. […]

Hating Dogs Is Not Good For Anyone’s PR

As long as we’re (fairly) linking scandals to Mitt Romney, and as long as I can’t believe that Romney is considered a serious contender to become President of the United States, I’d like to take a moment to reflect on just how huge the Michael Vick story has become and just how bad that […]

Those Crazy GOPers And Their Crazy Misguided Attempts At Public Sex

Tuesday, August 28, 2007 – 9:53 am

Republican Larry Craig, third term senator from Idaho, has pled guilty to misdemeanor charges for engaging in lewd behavior in the bathroom of an airport.
Alright, I think I’m done laughing now.
But wait, there’s more: Craig was the Idaho Chairman and Senate Co-chairman of Mitt Romney’s presidential campaign, right up until he resigned in disgrace […]

It Must Be Nice To Write So Many Checks You Forget Where They Go

The Romneys can’t even escape the parts of their godless past that they’ve already escaped.
Mitt Romney’s wife Ann told a television news program this weekend that she doesn’t remember a Planned Parenthood donation she made 13 years ago. She said she no longer supports abortion and said she joins her husband, Republican presidential candidate […]

Now Taking Applications For The Next Hot New Contender

Tuesday, July 17, 2007 – 12:10 pm

Josh Marshall:
I must say this really does make my day. “None of the Above” has surged into the lead in the new GOP primary poll out from AP/Ipsos. The only thing funnier is that this is even surprising. McCain’s campaign has imploded. Giuliani’s the fading pro-choice contender, which is sort of redundant. People […]

Republican Primary ‘08: Welcome To Bizarro World

Monday, July 9, 2007 – 5:14 pm

Election Central takes down Mitt Romney by showing that he distorted some Hillary Clinton remarks in order to call the senator a Marxist.
The distortion angle is all well and good, but not exactly the first thought that came to my mind: Isn’t Mitt Romney’s biggest achievement in elected office the passage of legislation creating […]

Mitt Romney Exposed As Porn Mogul

Friday, July 6, 2007 – 9:38 am

Hilarity:
Republican presidential contender Mitt Romney, who rails against the “cesspool” of pornography, is being criticized by social conservatives who argue that he should have tried to halt hardcore hotel movie offerings during his near-decade on the Marriott board.
Two anti-pornography crusaders, as well as two conservative activists of the type Romney is courting, say […]

For Once A Politician’s Opponents Can Accuse Him Of Hating Puppies Without Remotely Exaggerating

Thursday, June 28, 2007 – 4:43 pm

I may be a bit late to this party, but Mitt Romney is one psychotic bastard.
Romney strapped a dog carrier — with the family dog Seamus, an Irish Setter, in it — to the roof of the family station wagon for a twelve hour drive from Boston to Ontario, which the family apparently completed, […]

Mitt Romney Is An Underdog Like The Boston Red Sox Are An Underdog*

Tuesday, May 15, 2007 – 12:07 pm

I only just noticed the lede of one of CBS News’s stories about Mitt Romney’s interview on 60 Minutes:
Sixty-year-old Mitt Romney is a dark horse in the contest for the Republican presidential nomination. Although he is the least known of the frontrunners, he’s raised more money – $21 million – than any other Republican […]
