I still can't believe people seriously called Paul D. Ryan a "champion for women" or whatever because he wanted to spend time with his family, i.e. not do the lovely parts of being Speaker. He's no better than the rest of the GOP, and can you seriously imagine what would happen if Nancy Pelosi said she wasn't gonna do all of the Speaker responsibilities because she wanted to be with her family?

Dave Weigel posted the letter that was drafted at the meeting and will be sent to networks (but not Fox!)

A couple of interesting things is that they don't want inter-candidate questioning or reaction shots of the crowd/moderators. They also want debate halls be kept below 67 degrees, presumably so Rubio doesn't sweat through his shirt

Instead, the party is imploding to a regional rump party, rather than using people's short memories to suggest that they've always been at war with Eastasia.

I choose to believe that this isn't a typo :butt:

At a Q&A in New Hampshire today, Rubio was asked, "Who would you like to have a beer with who is not a politician?” His answer?

its dumb on a few levels, but at least his heart maybe in the right place. she is an actual hero and admirable person. but at least he is sorta of trying and i assume those mistakes were not intentional.

Oh no doubt, the sentiment is good, it's just a boneheaded answer that he clearly didn't think through.

In other news, Jeb! spoke with some middle schoolers today, how did that go?

quote:

Another boy asked whether Bush would govern similarly to his brother, President George W. Bush.

“You got brothers? You got sisters? Are you the same as them?” he asked back.

“No.”

“I rest my case!” he said with a smile and a shrug.

:stare: Jeb! can't even keep his cool around actual children, no wonder he's floundering

Where's the longform stabbing certificate, Ben? Why are you hiding it from us?

e: seriously, that story is ridiculous. "And then I found 5 dollars" is a joke way to end a story, not a message of hope and inspiration

Interestingly, I found this Atlantic article about Ben Carson's plan to crack down on liberal PC college professors, and I was surprised to see it was also written by Friedersdorf. Doesn't seem like it really caught on like his other ones did, I guess we'll never know why :shrug:

Well, it's not quite physical violence, but someone photoshopped a selfie by a Canadian Sikh guy to make him look like a terrorist and tricked multiple international news agencies into claiming he committed the Paris attacks. The icing on the cake is that this was done by a GamerGater! :suicide:

Wait is that phrase secretly racist?

Depends on how you look at it. The phrase "call a spade a spade" was a mistranslation from an old Greek phrase, but specifically "spade" became a coded term for a black person in the 1920s.
