Oh Yes! Because Newt and Mitt and Rick Aren’t Entertainment Enough!

Like sweet manna from heaven, it seems that Ann Coulter and Sarah Palin are gonna start trading claws.

Coulter said that might be a weakness in the Republican Party as a whole — that certain individuals become celebrities and are allowed to profit off that status and yet still interfere in GOP politics, which Democrats have been able to avoid.

To be totally honest with you, I could not tell if Coulter was talking about herself or Sarah Palin, but I suspect she was talking about Palin because if Coulter was making a profit, she could buy another dress.

Oh yes, I can play, too.

So Ann has a solution.

Hers would preclude Republican presidential candidates from seeking to “profit off of political stardom.” “I want them to sign a pledge,” said Coulter, “saying, ‘If I lose the nomination I pledge I will not take a gig with Fox News or write a book.'”

Well, Honey, bring me a bowl of milk because I’m gonna say, “How the hell else do Republican women make a living?”

Duck and Cover! It’s the Kiss of Death!

I have noticed as of lately that Republicans have removed one word from their vocabularies – Bush.

Well, the vampire unearths itself to a desperate Mitt Romney.

Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush endorsed Mitt Romney’s presidential campaign on Wednesday.

He is the second member of the Bush family to endorse the former Massachusetts governor. His father, former President George H.W. Bush, endorsed Romney in December.

Ole Jeb says that Romney “understands the economy.”  I’d certainly trust a Bush about that, now wouldn’t I?

Personally, I think the GOP is terrified of a brokered convention because they might end up with a Palin / Franklin Graham ticket.

I could live with Romney on the GOP ticket.  At least it would be fun to wake up every day in a new world of Romney beliefs.  Hell, the guy might be a liberal by November.

The Fires of Hell

Yesterday evening, a fire bomb was set off at the doorway of Democratic State Senator Wendy Davis’ Fort Worth office.  Republicans fear Senator Davis so badly for her legislative effectiveness that she was their #1 target for redistricting.   She will be in hard battle to keep her seat.

Senator Davis

I am relieved to report that no one was hurt, but that was only by the grace of God.  A suspect has been arrested.

As usual, Senator Davis has remained calm.

She said that no motive was apparent and that it would be premature to speculate whether her positions on any issue could have been a catalyst for the attack.

“Texas is facing some tremendous challenges right now,” Davis said. “It’s unfortunate when things like this happen in the public arena, and it reminds us of how important it is for us to remain very civil in our discourse.”

And if you ever begin to think that the rightwing in Texas isn’t vicious, cruel, and totally insane, you need to go read the comments after this article in the Fort Worth Star Telegram.

I have people in my local Democratic group who are afraid to volunteer at the Democratic headquarters.  Four years ago, we had people come in and yell at us, a window broken out, and our sign defaced more times than I can count.

Enough.

Noise in Illinois?

Okay, I had a lot to do this weekend so I did not get a contest together.  Nevertheless, keep calm and comment on.

Since Mitt and Rick and Newt are all still standing, will this be anybody’s Waterloo?

Thank you, Kyle

I do not know where Kyle got this, but I sure am glad he gave it to me:

And Don’t Forget …

One of our long time customers David sent me a link this morning from Jennifer Rubin at the Washington Post on 20 mistakes not to repeat while campaigning for President.

Jennifer covered most of them, but a few more quickly came to my mind.

Don’t put your dog on the roof of your car and then let your kids talk about it.

Don’t run against the entire female gender.  Girls know where to kick so it hurts.

The sweater vest thing?  Dorky.

Destroy your Tiffany’s credit card.

Get a wife and stick to it.

Don’t nut-up when Bill Clinton won’t let you ride on the front of the airplane.

Next time, try 8 – 8 – 8.  The other one ain’t working.

Don’t wimp out in front of Rush Limbaugh.  It makes it look like you’re the one on Oxycontin.

Don’t try to explain what “bla people” means.  We know what you meant.

If your new wife has space alien hair, try to keep her off the stage.

Okay, you guys take it from here ….
