Political bits

It looks like we will have Katherine Harris to kick around anymore. She won her primary handily - +19% on her nearest rival. (I'm so glad that Florida has supplanted Texas as the crackpot state.)

Insight Magazine (Moonie) "The White House funneled millions of dollars through major Republican Party contributors to Sen. Joseph Lieberman’s primary campaign in a failed effort to ensure the support of the former Democrat for the Bush administration." (This might be a right wing plant proving Joe's "independence.")

The White House is stinking of desperation. Nazi appeaser claims, Lenin appeaser claims, even in the President's speech. But the winner has to be Condi Rice's saying Iraq war critics would've supported the continuation of Slavery.

(Funny how the only major black administration official made these statements to the black targeted Essence magazine. They're pulling out the race card already. Smell the desperation.)

And, don't forget that among other things, there is a John Bolton confirmation vote this week. To make it interesting, Chafee is wobbling. In the Sept. 12 primary he is fully expected to get creamed from the right, so does he vote for the primary or for his conscience. (This guy says he can't make the full Senate vote.)

  • Ah, Florida. As long as there are folks like Katherine Harris living there, Carl Hiaasen - my favorite crime novelist - will never run out of ideas for his insane novels...

  • In the 90's we here in Texas carried the crazy mantle, probably best remembered in the "Cheeleader Mom" who killed so her daughter could make the team, but also Koresh/Waco and a whole bunch of other stuff.

    It was hard wearing that mantle.
