NYT columnist Frank Rich has the heebie-jeebies
Aw, poor Frank Rich. The far Left columnist for the New York Times is spooked by mainstream conservatives asserting themselves in the NY-23 congressional race.
Limited government activists rising up against the GOP elite?
The New York fracas was ignited by the routine decision of 11 local Republican county chairmen to anoint an assemblywoman, Dede Scozzafava, as their party’s nominee for the vacant seat. The 23rd is in safe Republican territory that hasn’t sent a Democrat to Congress in decades. And Scozzafava is a mainstream conservative by New York standards; one statistical measure found her voting record slightly to the right of her fellow Republicans in the Assembly. But she has occasionally strayed from orthodoxy on social issues (abortion, same-sex marriage) and endorsed the Obama stimulus package. To the right’s Jacobins, that’s cause to send her to the guillotine.
Sure enough, bloggers trashed her as a radical leftist and ditched her for a third-party candidate they deem a “true” conservative, an accountant and businessman named Doug Hoffman. When Gingrich dared endorse Scozzafava anyway — as did other party potentates like John Boehner and Michael Steele — he too was slimed. Mocking Newt’s presumed 2012 presidential ambitions, Michelle Malkin imagined him appointing Al Sharpton as secretary of education and Al Gore as “global warming czar.” She’s quite the wit.
The wrecking crew of Kristol, Fred Thompson, Dick Armey, Michele Bachmann, The Wall Street Journal editorial page and the government-bashing Club for Growth all joined the Hoffman putsch. Then came the big enchilada: a Hoffman endorsement from Palin on her Facebook page. Such is Palin’s clout that Steve Forbes, Rick Santorum and Tim Pawlenty, the Minnesota governor (and presidential aspirant), promptly fell over one another in their Pavlovian rush to second her motion. They were joined by far-flung Republican congressmen from Kansas, Georgia, Oklahoma and California, not to mention a gaggle of state legislators from Colorado. On Fox News, Beck took up the charge, insinuating that Hoffman’s Republican opponent might be a fan of Karl Marx. Some $3 million has now been dumped into this race by outside groups.
Political groups other than MoveOn spending money to sway the electorate? Why, it’s Stalinism.

Make Frank Rich cry: Donate to Hoffman for Congress.

Get used to it chump.
That light at the end of the tunnel is the light of the on coming conservative party. Either get on or get out of the way.
Screw this left wing jerk . . . he’s a typical whiny, slobbering liberal that can’t take a punch.
To paraphrase, we don’t need a third party we need a conservative second party. But lacking that a conservative third party might work.
Frank Rich ain’t seen nothing yet. He may blow a gasket before this thing is done. We are awake and we are paying attention!
His face gives me the heebie jeebies BUT his leftist ideas give me NIGHTMARES!
One day Mr. Rich very soon (2010) you and your liberal/leftist/elite friends are going to be SCARED SILLY because the Congress with again have majority Republicans but those Republicans will be CONSERVATIVES and their agenda will be CONSERVATIVE.
He left out SEIU, Acorn indorsed, along with Daily Kos. Those all seem like “Right of center conservative” endorsments to me. Let’s not forget the Dem party was also painting Dede as being left of their candidate! Ya, a real conservative.
Go Hoffman!
Sarge
Yes you are and I hope you never change MM. You have been on the front lines bringing people back to the Conservative brand. The fact that this whining liberal is poopooing the voters rejection of Newt is more than enough to give me the heebee jeebies. He wants Republicans to toe the line like Democrats do. Makes me think they might be working together some? Thank god for people like you Michelle.
So who gives a fat, fickle, flying flounder what Frank Rich thinks about things conservative or GOP? Oh, the horror! The Halloween Day surprise! Scozzafava to the guillotine! The only thing that amazes me is that she passes for a slightly right-of-center Republican in New York (according to Rich?). How could that be? Is the whole state party RINOtized?
Frank while I do not have name cache, add me and my donation to the list of those who wanted Hoffman over Dede
Nuff said…
Wasn’t he the theater critic for NYT when folks used to buy the paper?
That means I should pay attention to what he says on the op-ed page one day a week?
He’s a chump (and I know he’s reading this)
Frank Rich’s HATE SPEECH terminology…
“government-bashing” = Club For Growth
“wrecking crew” = Kristol, Fred Thompson, Dick Armey, Michele Bachmann, The Wall Street Journal
“quite the wit” = Michelle Malkin
“big enchilada” = Sarah Palin
“Pavlovian” = Steve Forbes, Rick Santorum and Tim Pawlenty
“far flung” = Republican congressmen from Kansas, Georgia, Oklahoma and California
“gaggle” = state legislators from Colorado
“dumped” = Conservative donors to Hoffman’s campaign
Did Frank Rich really expect that the party rank-and-file would just fall in line for Scozzafava? Did he not notice the widespread TEA Parties where Repubs were often criticized as harshly as Dems, if not more so? Frank, crawl back into your cave!
An imbcile like Frank Rich probably googles his own name 10 times a day to see if anyone, anywhere has mentioned him
His pathetic attempt to lash out at conservatives in his little column smells of fear
Wow! That’s realy pathetic.
It’s a good illustration of how out of touch with reality these leftist turds are.
Hey Frank,
Stick to reviewing Guys and Dolls. We conservatives will do the heavy lifting.
All politics is national now baby. My money goes to conservatives that can win. Just wait till 2010, jackazz.
This should serve as a carbon copy to that idiot Mike Lupica. Stick to writing about sports you panty wearing liberal.
- corrected
I donated to him two weeks ago, and just sent him a second donation too!
Go CONSERVATIVE or Go HOME!
Time to put a stake through his heart…
Mocking Newt’s presumed 2012 presidential ambitions, Michelle Malkin imagined him appointing Al Sharpton as secretary of education and Al Gore as “global warming czar.” She’s quite the wit.
As conservative as Hutchinson?
Never mind the lies…
P.C. trumps all…
Doubtful.
GAG!
He must really be out of touch to not realize that for a conservative those three things constitute a strikeout.
You would figure a liberal, just by thinking the opposite of what he thinks, would know this.
But I digress – I used the words liberal and think in the same sentence.
Frank Rich has probably written 50 columns in which he bragged that he went to Harvard. It’s kind of sad actually. Mr. Rich is now about 65 years old and he still feels the need to constantly brag that he is a Harvard man. Last week, he was excoriating Goldman-Sachs and in the middle of the column Rich had a parentheses in which he gloated that he went to Harvard.
When Frank Rich is not bragging that he attended Harvard, he is getting his facts wrong. I still recall that Frank Rich stated that a Bush appointee owed his job to having been the “college roommate” of a Bush cabinet member. As it happened, there was no such “college roommate” relationship. It was made up out of whole cloth by Frack Rich. As far as I know, Frank Rich still has not corrected the fib that he told.
I’ve never been impressed with Frank Rich.
GOP Stalinists?
Someone needs to give that boy a dictionary.
As if we need any other reason to ignore this tool. Columnist for the NYT. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Hey Frank, our lovely host may be “a wit” in your eyes, but at least somebody actually READS her stuff!
Are you implying that you have information to the contrary?
New York standards? Not exactly a ringing endorsement. Your mournful wailing over poor Dede who got voted out makes her sound like your kind of gal and that’s a pretty heavy millstone to tie around her neck.
It’s to bad you can’t be voted out, or in your parlance, sent to the guillotine.
So you’re on Newt’s team now? Well, Newt, your 2012 is circling the drain.
Yeah, she still commands that much respect. Now, put on some clean panties and man up, dude.
Assume the position, Frankie. We ain’t even warmed up yet.
I introduce to you President Sarah Palin’s Press Secretary – MICHELLE MALKIN
(If she passes up on AG that is…)
I think the left have heard us!
At what point will RINOs simply be known for what the really are: Republicans?
*huff-puff* – Still within the parameters of decency, as the left sees it.
The left is a sick breed of human debris.
The progressive movement has been damaging the American constitutional system for nearly 100 years, and the Tea Party movement is the first real step in countering the leftward drift of progressive politicians of both parties. If there is one thing to thank Obama and his socialist, communist, fascist and anarchist cronies for it is that the American people who work for a living and raise their families now see the truth and horrors of the progressives.
The Tea Party patriots have muscle and the Republican and Democrat Parties are both scared of the them. The Tea Party movement represents the true “power to the people” that was specifically provided by the Bill of Rights. However, let us not forget that even if Tea Party leaders succeed in taking back the legislative and executive branches of government, they will be strongly resisted by the bureaucratic and judicial interests that have gotten used to the perks of unelected and appointed office. There is a real need to eliminate a number of unproductive and unconstitutional bureaucracies – DoE, DoEd, EPA, NEA, NPR, PBS come to mind immediately. Eventually, however, there will be a need to completely reform the courts and that will probably be the toughest nut to crack because it has become the Gordian Knot of American politics in that it has become a super legislative body.
We are looking at decades worth of work here and we will have to stay the course through a number of generations.
So true. Then I think about the national red/blue map and the consentration of liberal voters (handout crowd and know-it-all highbrows) in high populated areas. What a nightmare!
Collectivists like Rich only want a select elite to have any power at all. Of course, he considers himself in that elite crowd.
Any evidence of the serfs thinking for themselves and demanding a say in their own lives is like garlic to a vampire.
There are always those who consider themselves in the inner circle of elites, only to find themselves cast aside when their usefulness is done. This is why we call them, “useful idiots”.
Frank Rich is a modern-day Elsworth Toohey.
For those who remember The Fountainhead.
Hey, at least Frank Rich is consistent! He also excoriated the Connecticut Dems/DNC for throwing over Joe Leiberman—the Dem’s “Conscience of the Senate” during the 2000 Presidential campaign—for far-left Ned Lamont.
Oh, wait…
Franks’ RICH all right. What a humorist, poking fun at the “slavish devotion” to Sarah Palin’s opinions by other Republicans.
Hey Frank: You guys shot your wad with your infernal worship of The One. It’s YOU PEOPLE who make with the public statements of undying devotion to your Dear Leader.
Pot -> Kettle -> Black indeed.
The Wreaking Crew… I wonder what the British called our founding fathers? Probably something very similar.
I just saw this… I like it!
So true, so true. The whole post…
Folks, Frank Rich hasn’t a clue. The more I read, the more I think he is delusionaly insane. His entire column is laced with ad homs such as calling conservatives stalinists of the right. I guess we better look out or we might be put into one of the right-wing gulags run by Rush Limbaugh or Glen Beck. Every other group mentioned has an attached ad hom also. This is from a ‘newspaper’ that will complain that about imaginary ad homs against libs that are fabricated and reported by left-wing blogs and columnists as being from conservatives.
No wonder the nyt (L/C – they no longer deserve U/C) is on the ropes. Such vicious ignorance I have never seen outside of National SOCIALIST trashing of Jews, Gipsys, and Slavs.
I guess Mr. Rich’s sophomoric diatribe is proof that the conservatives drew blood in NY-23.
Sounds like a tremendously vast conspiracy indeed according to Rich’s account. Must be a cast of millions upon millions involved. How many people does it take for a “conspiracy” to become a popular groundswell movement before it becomes a majority? And then there is the sweet irony of his argument.
The French Revolution reference equating us to the Jacobins is ironic to the point of possibly being a Freudian slip. Communists always use the French Revolution as the starting point of the communist movement. We want to return to a smaller, more accountable and democratic government which is the diametrical opposite to communism.
The Jacobins Rich refers to were the equivalent of today’s Hollywood/Beltway envious power-hungry elites who decided who would be sent to the guillotines. Most of them eventually suffered that fate at each others’ hands.
The Democrats and their Assistant Democrat enablers may use the next few weeks blaming “conservatives” for destroying the Republican party and thus disrupting the bipartisanship they claim citizens so desperately crave, but what they are really afraid of is that we are coming for them next.
Such is the fate of arrogant, disconnected power in the hands of a greedy few in a still functioning democracy. Julius Caesar once equated the peril of such power to holding a hungry wolf by the ears. At some point, your arms get tired and the wolf eats you. We are coming to that moment and these corruptocrats are terrified.
frank rich has as much credibility writing about the conservatives and republicans as ted kennedy had writing about the treatment of women or the plight of the poor. this light in the loafers broadway play critic is now supposed to be a political expert. what school did you attend, and what is your degree in? opera history or makeup. i guess with aids the number of broadway plays doesn’t keep you fully occupied frank, so why don’t you start criticizing movies and regional theater. something more in your realm of competence. or maybe you can go help barney frank with his upcoming campaign.
It wasn’t so long ago when Frank Rich actually wrote a column saying that since the internet edition of the NY Times was not financially viable, the NY Times must raise its daily price and according to Frank Rich, it is the civic duty of Americans to agree to pay substantially more for the NY Times each day and to do so was an act of patriotism. Mr. Rich actually conflated buying the New York Times with our duty as citizens.Frank Rich never speaks to anyone who is not a Harvard grad, a journalist at the New York Times or a liberal professor at an Ivy League college. If you notice when Rich quotes a professor, it is inevitably a prof at an Ivy League college. Frank Rich does not know even one person who attended a public university. Mr. Rich was a theater critic at the Times and his background is writing about set designers and costume designers. Frank Rich thinks the whole world cares about the wardrobe director in some silly play. And then he likes to pose as “everyman”. I am sure that Frank Rich never spent one Sunday in his life watching NFL football. But I am sure that he never misses the Harvard-Yale game.
Democrats have done themselves in.
Imagine if the GOP were united in/along with the conservative movement.
“But she has occasionally strayed from orthodoxy on social issues (abortion, same-sex marriages)”
Understatement of the year.
“But she has occasionally strayed from orthodoxy on social issues (abortion, same-sex marriages)”
Yeah – kinda goes along with ‘not so bad’ because you only engage in hard drugs and armed robbery occasionally
It really is typical of liberals to condemn actions of what he terms ‘conservatives’when the Democrats and in particular Obama behave like facists in elections and in the White House. The very idea that Rich accuses Republicans of corrupt politics is so hypocritical, it is laughable.
Those in New York City like Rich have little understanding of the values and lifestyle of those that live in Lewis county and why they would wish to have someone represent them that reflects those values. He, like many other New York City liberals, thinks that the only significant area of New York State is New York City. New York is a huge state, with rural areas predominating – the legislation in Albany (upstate by the way) has been controlled by liberal Democrats for years. They have run this state into the ground with their taxes; much like California. No wonder we are one of the few states in the union losing population.
If he would just once look at a map of the state he would see that there is life beyond Poughkeepsie.
Anyway, whatever Rich has to say about Republicans and what they do doesn’t matter…. who cares what he thinks.
Rich’s stomach must be in knots over this situation. Maybe he could see if a little religion is in order. I’m sure there is a pew open at Church of Our Lady of the Mylanta.
One thing I love about people on the left is their ability to project. Because the left does it all the time, the right must do it too.
The interesting thing here though is that when the left does it it’s in response to the right doing it – even though the right doesn’t do whatever it is. Further, when the left does it it’s ok – especially in their response to their claim that the right is doing it.
Frank Rich wants to claim the moral high ground. In his crowd he probably has it and that speaks volumes about him (and them).
If you had any doubts about the strength of the conservative revival, those should be now washed away.
Be afraid libs….Be very afraid!
Now to blow up this freedom-destroying farcical health care bill.
Frank Rich is easily spooked-on a weekly basis he sees the greatest miscarriage of justice in the history of the world. Many “news” organizations have such whiny and easily spooked columnist. The New York Times has a bunch but then Fox News has Geraldo Rivera, our local Leftist Rag- the Arizona Republic- has a bunch but the dummy publisher can’t find very many subscribers. Go figure.
Life must be hard for the Frank Rich/Geraldo Rivera types of the world-everyday is Halloween. But the sissy boy did get one thing right-Michelle Malkin is quite the wit although I doubt the sissy know why.

And if we must Feed the Trolls feed them to the alligators
Frank Rich knows he’s a lowly crew-mwmber on a sinking ship with a clueless captain.
this is Rich,
wow, one of the few things the Constitution actually allows the Feds to spend money on, Rich calls pork.
slap that man with the Constitution and a dictionary until reality settles back in. he’s so far out of touch he’s gone into sensory deprivation.
“Teabagger“, Sir?
I wear that label proudly!
And I have ever since I accidentally found that when you do it drives Progressives into a foaming rage!
How about this for a headline: “Tea Party Activists are the New GOP”.
And based on the Sunday morning news shows so far, the message is finally getting through. Conservatives, purged from the GOP and essentially blockaded from every avenue of free expression but the internet, talk radio and the streets, are poised to take over. We have muscled our way into changing the national narrative. No small feat for us small-footed people.
Was it symbolic that Chris Wallace chose today to feature a long interview of Rush Limbaugh? I see it as a concession to self-preservation, that conservatives are here in force and that the establishment better get used to it or perish.
Another observation from today’s news shows, it’s Boooooosh’s fault!!! Man, are we winning or what?
Yes, poor Mr. Rich…Michelle Malkin is quite the wit. Good of a half-wit like you to notice real intelligence where it exists. Now…be off with you. It’s way past time for your “curtain call.”
Final comment: What happened to “Rage Kewpie”? I kinda liked that, in a “Scourge of the Filipines” kind of way.
Alright, one more comment because this is too good to pass up.
According to the Watertown Daily Times, Scozzafava is urging her followers to vote for her Democrat opponent Bill Owens. So let’s think about this. The RNCC has endorsed Hoffman. Virtually everyone in the GOP elite establishment has endorsed Hoffman. Scozzafava, being a loyal Republican in the mold of Reagan who admonished fellow party members to never criticize a fellow Republican, goes Benedict Arnold. What do you noseholders say now? What does that say about your GOP?
Correct.
Not only the socialists/statists/collectivists/adolescent opposite-worldview holders/fascists ceaselessly project big-time.
I’m in the middle of Robert Spencer’s The Complete Infidel’s Guide to the Koran; from what Spencer shows the koran says, and muslim apologists and analysts have said and say today…so very much of it is projection on steroids.
No wonder the socialists/fascists and the jihadi loonies love each other.
Not surprising.
I think it says that conservatives/traditionalists have been correct all along.
I’m from Lewis County. Do you think I would rather have Dede or Hoffman?
Oh, and Scazzofava has won 7 state assembly races representing Lewis County. So tell me again how Lewis County doesn’t want someone like Scazzofava representing its values.
Since when was Stalinism a bad thing at the NYT?
Glad he got the memo to tone the rhetoric down.
On a similar note:
Friday (I believe it was…) I was riding w/my grandson, and he had Hannity on the radio. A person Mr. Hannity obviously knew well offered to send video of All-numb Sphincter, (Idiot-PA) telling a crowd of Donks that he ALWAYS WAS and forever would-be a Democrat!
Well, we already knew he was a jacka$$, if that was what Sphincter meant, so no news there…
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
Anyone else catch that, and could they fill it in a little more? Since my stroke, I don’t usually pay much attention to Hannity. I find his attitude of “… let us all play nicety-nice while I softball you Mr Steele, O Fantastic One, Sir!! (…and may I kiss your foot today?)…” disgusting. He often allows various pooh-bahs to lie (unconvincingly) to his face and rarely points it out.
He does the same genuflecting routine w/the all the rest of Repluggian Menace ™ (…and many of the declared Leftists, until recently). He goes breakneck past polite and over the cliff w/o looking back! Listening to a grown man lick-spittle like that simply drives my blood pressure up too much. But then, I’m an Old Geezer and we didn’t bow and scrape to “public servants” like that in my younger days…
On the other hand, if I did catch the part about the video correctly, it would be worth taking extra BP meds for!
This is the part of this whole brouhaha I can’t understand. Scozzafava has been elected and re-elected by this district for years. Had this guy with no connection to the district other than self-aggrandizement not stormed in waving Rush’s Little Red Book, she’d clearly have been elected to the House.
Instead, the Teabaggers sweep in, subvert the will of the people of NY-23, purge this long-standing public servant, and install their little tax accountant, who apparently knows nothing of NY-23’s issues and concerns, but, boy, does he hate teh gheys and the abortionopterists! And this is a WIN for conservatism HOW?
It’s an obscene miscarriage of local political freedom is what it is, and the Teabaggers are too full of the smell of their own farts to recognize that what they’ve done is utterly obliterated what USED to be one of the more cherished, core values of conservatism – that LOCAL determination was the appropriate mechanism for political action.
Irony, apparently, is lost on you people.
Why, Monkey! It certainly seems you’re right! Scozzafava’s GOP True-blue!
Why simply look at where she’s thrown her support and how she’s doing it! It tells all about her character — and yours.
Next time, don’t project so much. . . and eat smaller servings of refritos, ok? We’ll all thank you for it!
Yeah, I can’t imagine WHY Dede might be a bit bitter with Hoffman and the GOP right now.
Add to my previous with this:
From this, it would be fair to say that Ol’ Dede supported the “Free” Choice Act!
Wow, what a Republican she is…
I don’t know, looks like when they have a choice with someone running on stated conservative values, they seem to prefer that. If DeDe was really that popular, she could run on name recognition alone.
Dede was winning in Lewis County. It was one of her main areas of support.
You missed the point. Why is that we conservatives are criticized for refusing to back the RINOs who have blockaded the process from us but when YOU GUYS lose, it’s okay to switch to supporting DEMOCRATS?!!! Talk about hypocrisy. At least we stay home or vote 2nd party (none of the above).
It’s easy to find, being right next door to the lesbian convent run by the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence.
And, to resort to an old and feeble joke: Rich should be reminded that “Confucius say: “Man who fart in church sit in own pew.”"
BaddaBISH!
How were conservatives blockaded from the process? Hoffman was on the ballot to chose the GOP rep and lost, as was another prominent conservative, who also lost.
Clever lad that Confucius, clever lad.
Who goosed Frank Rich? The moose?

If you must Feed the Trolls please feed them to the alligators
This term seems to be used only by;
and so often it seems almost always by, the know-it-all, statist/fascist/collectivist/adolescent/socialist opposite-worldview holders.
It’s a dead-giveaway phrase, sort of like:
“we need to educate”,
“break out into discussion groups”,
“raise awareness”,
“______(fill in the blank with whatever) justice”.
If I could remember high school and college from the late 60s and early 70s more precisely, I’m sure I’d have an even longer list….
I believe “redistributive justice” is the wingbat catch phrase this year. Bank robbery and muggings are prime examples of “redistributive justice”. So now I imagine the Department of Education will “we need to educate” our little darlins on bank robbery and muggings instead of letting them self educate.
(think Joycelyn Elders-ugly, isn’t it? )
If Frank Rich wants to write about strident angry voices, he should write about his colleague Roger Cohen. Cohen write a weekly column that is devoted to one subject only: The evils of the State of Israel. Cohen has written the same column now 75 straight times. He does not write about anything else. His column is always about how Hamas, Ahmedinijad, Islamic Jihad are really moderates and pragmatists but the Israeli right wing led by Netanyahu is rigid and fanatic and opposes peace. Usually Roger Cohen is bragging about how some Muslim leader from Turkey verbally smacked down Israel. And then Cohen brags that he is British and makes sure we know it. If Frank Rich wants to write about a nasty ideological zealot, then I suggest he write about his colleague Roger Cohen.
Even the highest of moral highgrounds for liberals is still under water.
I have a $trong $uspicion that Newt Gingrich had a hand in bia$ing the local committee’$ $election proce$$.
I doubt Newt or any other national level GOP figure had any idea who Scozzafava was until Hoffman started making waves.
chap: WHO CHOSE? when the pelosi wing chose and backed a lieberman competitor, leiberman went independent and won. CROSSOVER VOTE HAS CONSEQUENCES. let’s work to make party votes either in or out. but as long as states allow for shenanigans in voting, it will happen.
Ummm…the Republican County chairs. If conservatives don’t think they have enough influence at that level, maybe they should get more involved.
I am afraid I don’t understand what you are getting at in the rest of the post.
What is the allure of Palin? How is it that her endorsement was big “enchilada”? Is it her potential for fundraising? She lost her allure for me when she wouldn’t directly answer questions about her stance on Roe-Wade during the campaign. Made her seem like just another politician (or Supreme Court nominee).
Amazing that some people still remember the Republican party is supposed to be the conservative party. I guess he will be less surprised in the future- 2010 and 2012.
His fear is encouraging. Let’s go for pure unadulterated terror! Go conservatives, go.
That is what we do here on a regular basis-sweep out the Get Alongs, the Rhinos. Sadly Conservatives get lazy and complacent time to time and think all is well; it oft takes a 2X4-i.e. a Scozzafava, along the side of the head to wake them up. Then we get a tidal wave–but then it recedes over time and we need a new 2X4. But Marxist/Socialist/fascist never do get tired nor complacent-not yet anyway.
But we Right Wing Extremest Tea Baggers-AKA Bitter Clingers- are in the ascendancy at the moment. Unadulterated Terror sounds like a good phrase-yes, I like that SpeakEasy.

If you must Feed the Trolls Feed them to the alligators
So what will it mean if Hoffman has his tail handed to him on Tuesday? If conservatives get their guy in the race, and then he loses, won’t that be a pretty big, pretty public, defeat for conservatives?
(just playin’ devil’s advocate here, folks)
Here you go Chappy. Scozzafava officially endorses Owens.
We just did the GOP a major favor even if Hoffman loses. Scuzzy is the ONLY Republican who could be trusted to fight Obama and Pelosi? Someone get Newsance “Newt” GinGrinch on the phone stat! What sez you NOW you tudbolt! Maybe us “out-of-staters” are smarter than you? I think so!!!
Doncha just love it? conservatives, people who seek less government, more personal freedom and respect for property rights, are labeled “Stalinists”!!!
Yeah, Frank, that’s rich –in fact it’s classic Frank Rich.
No.
When Chewbacca Biden next steps on his lip will anyone care?
No.
If Darth Corzine of New Jersey loses would that be a defeat for Liberals?
Yes.
When the Washington Post loses in Virginia would that be a defeat for Liberals?
Yes.
Two No, two Yes: I is a moderate I is!
