I see Megyn Kelly as a modern day Albert Schweitzer in a quest for the historical Santa.
Very interesting piece by TPM’s Sahil Kapur trying to tease out just what happened this week between Speaker Boehner and the Tea Party. For the first time in his Speakership, Boehner smacked the Tea Party down hard and won. And this after years of kowtowing to them and essentially ceding control of the House to these outside groups.
You know there are only days left to get in your nominations for this year’s 7th Annual Golden Duke awards. Here are the instructions for submitting your nominees for the crookedest, ridiculousest, slimiest of 2013 in each of seven categories we’ve chosen for this year. But in the spirit of the Dukes, TPM’s Hunter Walker tracked down the “Duke Stir”, that’s the yacht at the center of the Cunningham scandal. Hunter managed to get himself a tour of this monument to political corruption and even pictures of the remaining Duke Cunningham memorabilia onboard. While you’re putting together your Duke’s nomination, join us on this trip down this watery memory lane.
