The National Review, in a post titled “Cain Soars To Third, Two Points Behind Perry,” manages to bury the lede. The issue isn’t that Cain is soaring… Herman Cain has soared to third place in a new Fox News poll of Republican primary voters, winning 17 percent, which puts him 2 points behind Rick Perry […]

Max Brumm Mad About Being Left Out of Mayoral Fundraiser
Rooting for Mr. Brumm? Bud Clark! UPDATE: The organizers of this fundraiser, VOIS, emailed to say that the headline of this post implies that this was a fundraiser FOR mayoral candidates.

A Fox news reporter asks Santorum about the “GAY” (her emphasis) soldier who was booed during last night’s GOP event, and Santorum does his best to clean up the frothy, smelly mess by “thanking” the soldier for his service. (And by “service” he means “service in the military”—not “servicing” someone in a “GAY” way—emphasis his.)

Sad Trombones Play for Rick Santorum
Wonkette: Victimiest most victimized ever victim Rick “The President of Victims” Santorum has had a rough time carrying out his life’s mission as an unrepentant homophobic bigot, because his consistent dehumanizing attacks on gay people forced them to start a gay jihad against him (funny how war works, isn’t it, Rick?) that makes filthy results […]
