Sorry, Dick - Looks Like the Schaffer Scandal Ain't Going Away
Despite Colorado GOP chief Dick Wadhams' hilarious temper tantrum last week, ColoradoPols has a post up showing why the scandal surrounding Republican U.S. Senate candidate Bob Schaffer just ain't gonna go away too soon. Sorry, Dick - I know you got used to Washington reporters fawning all over you as "Karl Rove's heir apparent" just before you helped end the political career of your boss, George "Macaca" Allen. But it looks like in your new job as head of the Colorado Republican Party you are going to have to do a wee bit more than just call Mike Huttner a "sleazeball." Here's an idea, for you: Instead of making us all laugh with your public freakouts, how about you calm yourself down and substantively answer people's concerns about The Great Schaffer Scandal of 2007?

Why do I keep getting the feeling that the Republicans' guide on political strategy was written by the crooked Governor in the movie "The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas"?
After seeing the Republican clowns in the Montana Legislature piss away a once-every-two-years session to the point that our governor had to call a special session to get the budget passed, and the senate majority leader throw a deletable-expletive tantrum in front of cameras and underage pages, I am starting to see a pattern of the same spoiled brat, tantrum throwing, side-stepping, stone walling, and blaming people who had nothing to do with it, behavior not just in Helena, not just in Washington DC, but around the country.
Does Republicanism cause brain damage?
Republicans really need to grow the eff up.
