In their usual weasel-like fashion, the Bushies waited until late Friday to announce it, but veteran vote suppressor and racist POS Hans von Spakovsky has withdrawn his name as an FEC nominee.

You can’t really compare him with Rummy or Wolfie as von Spakovsky’s idiocy never killed anyone, but he was the worst of the second tier, and if this were the end of WWII, he’d be looking at a rope for sure.

In a democracy, no crime is worse than that of knowingly suppressing the vote. McJoan has more, likewise dday.

Sonia Morphew Pitt makes the news again. Most people, after getting publicly exposed as a “do nothing,” “take lots of trips” waste of a government salary, would have dropped the arbitration, but not Pitt.

I guess she needs the money or something. Frankly, I can’t imagine any Minnesota employer wanting to hire someone so notorious for not doing their job, and padding their expense account while they were at it.

Heckuva a job, Sonia. I’m sure there are lots of other people who were supportive of your right to “phone it in.”

Hillary’s finally ramping it down. Over at the Times, they have side by side maps showing just how Republican her greatest area of support was. (That and among middle aged women and art critics.)

It wasn’t just Rush, for over a year Fox News dampened down their criticism of Clinton. Of all the Democrats, she made the hard right less nervous. Obama? Shit, he might end the war or do something else crazy . . . .
