Senator Lindsey Graham: The voters at home won't like this . . .

Not a precise quote, but it captures the spirit of Senator Graham's amazing assessment of expected voter reaction to his selling his party and his president down the river to the hardcore Senate liberals. He was one of seven Republicans (I am ashamed to say that Mike DeWine, one of my Senators, was... Sign in to see full entry.

New York Funds Viagra for Sex Offenders!

I can't pin this one on liberals per se, but if nothing else it demonstrates utter blinkered bureaucracy in stellar form. 198 convicted rapists, child molesters and other sex offenders in New York recieved Viagra courtesy of the taxpayers between January 2000 and March 2005. It seems a federal... Sign in to see full entry.

Screaming Howard Strikes Again!

It's been a while since I picked on recently elected Democratic party chairman Howard Dean. But the good doctor has one coming for telling a Massachusetts state party convention that Senate majority leader Tom DeLay "''ought to go back to Houston where he can serve his jail sentence."
