Not only did Sen. David Vitter patronize prostitutes, the latest Charlie Melancon ad reasons, but he used taxpayer dollars to do it: his Senate salary.
I hadn’t really considered that angle. So the religious conservatives will be turned off by his illicit sex, and the fiscal conservatives by his indirect squandering of tax dollars. Not sure that’s gonna work, but okay.
By the time the tea partiers get done rewriting the Constitution, it will look like Swiss cheese. Here’s the top 5 tea party edits to the founding document.
The President’s sit-down with Jon Stewart last night. Watch.
I’d thought Richard Iott had been put out to pasture after news broke that his main hobby was Nazi reenacting. After that Rep. Eric Cantor (R) denounced him. And then everything pretty much went down hill from there when he started saying that he didn’t think we were in a position to judge the SS soldiers who did all the cool stuff on the Eastern Front.
But apparently Iott is out of the dog House. And back in John Boehner’s House. Read More

If you have an aversion to making your own head explode, look away. But if you want to see Fox News in all its wingnut glory, have we got the video reel for you. Watch as Fox News scolds President Obama for purportedly relegating Republicans to the “back of the bus” and schools him on how to be more sensitive about the dark period of racism that the civil rights movement rescued us from. Truly unreal stuff.

This is a pretty telling and (for me) depressing poll out from CNN on the PA Senate race. Pat Toomey is 4 points up over Joe Sestak (roughly in line with other polls) by 49% to 45%. That’s likely voters. Among registered voters it’s 47% to 43% in Sestak’s favor. A pretty big spread. But it gets better. That’s 4 points better than Sestak did in the previous poll, among registered voters, even though he stayed the same with likely voters.
In other words, Sestak is catching fire with people who are too languid and unmotivated to turn out and vote.
Rock on.
Even a bigger bummer? This chart.
New video taken immediately before the Kentucky stomping incident Monday night conclusively shows that the assaulted protester had it coming. The big reveal: She was protesting.
