Pat Toomey: Opportunist to the rescue

Posted on March 2, 2009 by nuke

Pat Toomey hints he might mount a primary challenge to Arlen Specter in 2010. I can’t wait. So, why would this self-serving prick leave his cush meal ticket as Club for Growth president to run for the Senate? I guess he’s just bored. C’mon Pat.  The water’s fine.  Jump on in.

Attacking Sarah Palin: A familiar ring

Posted on November 9, 2008 by nuke

The anonymous attacks on Gov. Sarah Palin have a familiar ring to me. I was thinking about this after hearing Carl Cameron’s report on Fox, and after reading several other kneecap-recaps as reported in the blogosphere.
