The GOP winces? Wow. Looks like those Republican-booster blogs have some explaining to do. From The Washington Post: […] “Political people always tell their candidates to stay away from controversy,” said Ryan, 40. “They say, ‘Don’t propose anything new or bold because the other side will use it against you.’ ” While he does not name the “political people,” they no doubt include many Republican colleagues, who, even as they

That’s right. How you like me now, bitches?

As I’m not reliably conservative, libertarian, liberal, moderate, or progressive, I’m able objectively to highlight problems with this Washington Examiner article detailing pending charges against Maxine Waters. Which is very liberating, let me tell you! The House ethics committee is poised to announce corruption charges against Rep.
