Three cheers for Ted Cruz! On select occasions only!
Yes, Teddie can be a shit, often, but his recent interview appearing in Bloomberg Politics, in which he denounced his quasi doppelganger/evil twin Marco Rubio as being basically Hillary Clinton in a mansuit, was something of an eye opener. Cruz, rapping with Bloomberg scribe Sahil Kapur, came up with the following bon mots, among others:…
Republican elites panic? Perhaps they should look in a mirror.
“Less than three months before the kickoff Iowa caucuses, there is growing anxiety bordering on panic among Republican elites about the dominance and durability of Donald Trump and Ben Carson and widespread bewilderment over how to defeat them,” write Washington Post reporters Philip Rucker and Robert Costa, with a little help from Dave Weigel. Perhaps…
Let’s all laugh at Jennifer Rubin!
I know that Make Fun of Jennifer Rubin Day isn’t for several months, but, well, but what the hell. In her latest and greatest, Jennie explains why Republicans can’t, just can’t nominate Donald Trump, Ben Carson, or Ted Cruz for the presidency. Well, I pretty much agree, but I will also point out, as Jennie…
Regressin’ to Jeb: the Renascence of the Republican Mean
The recent, entertaining demise of Scott Walker has caused many to embrace Marco Rubio as the once and future king of the Republican Party, something I’ve been known to do myself.

Da Angst a’ da Elites
America’s elites are suffering. You hear it in the frenzied efforts of “responsible” conservatives like Charles “Donald Trump’s Fantasy of Mass Deportation Is Political Poison for the GOP” Krauthammer, Fred “Donald Trump’s Nativist Bandwagon” Hiatt, and George “Trump’s immigration plan could spell doom for the GOP” Will to convince their fellow conservatives to listen to…
It’s starting to look a lot like Rubio, Part II
A month or two ago I was about to write a post with the awkward title of “It’s starting to look a lot like Rubio—Not!” because my original post appeared to be overtaken by events, as we say in the biz. Sen. Rubio was struggling, while Jeb Bush was sitting on a mountain of cash….
Thomas Friedman, still wanting to blow things up
Poor Thomas! He’s supporting Obama’s Iran deal, because, because, I guess, because the guys at the water cooler at the Times wouldn’t speak to him if he didn’t. Damn that peer group pressure! But Tom isn’t a total pussy. No way, John! According to Tom, once we make the deal with Iran, we include this…
Why I’m voting for Hillary Rodham Clinton in November 2016
Actually, I won’t be, because I live in the District of Columbia, which always votes Democratic, giving me the luxury of voting my conscience. But if I were living in a swing state, I’d be pulling that lever for Hillary and pulling it hard, just the way she likes it. Because Hillary, bless her heartless…
Double Down, Dude! Double Down!
Jim/Joe/Bob/Jimmy Joe Bob couldn’t believe it! Obama/Mitt/Newt/Attila the Hun wasn’t backing off! He was doubling down! Yes, people double down a lot in Double Down, the not so hot off the presses tome du jour from Mark Halperin and John Heilmann rehashing the 2012 presidential election. The book received mixed reviews when it was published…
