2012 republican presidential nominee III: can romney get santorum out of his hair?

"I still see him in my mind's eye in Venice Beach, the sunny day I met him. He was in his mid 20's. It was all there."

hateful to the last: http://twitter.com/#!/andrewbreitbart

Sullivan, who seemed to be a friend: "The kind of high stakes in-the-arena 24/7 blogging lifestyle is not always easy on the body or soul." Seems like a rather poor justification (or at least explanation) for behave-however. Every job has its pressures.

I prefer this from Sullivan when he ended up sitting next to Breitbart on a flight:

Breitbart is actually a kind of straight gay: loves pop music, hates rock n roll, lost interest in radio music around the time of grunge (as did I) and now believes there's a revival of joyous pop going on.

See, if he had stuck to poptimism...

it's not easy on the body or soul if you're HIV-positive like Sully or swollen with cocaine like Breitbart.

"The kind of high stakes in-the-arena 24/7 blogging lifestyle Being a cocaine-fueled rage-o-holic is not always easy on the body or soul."

Fingers crossed he left behind a Drudge tell-all.

Wait, which ones? Those delightful early-90's collections of _Jay Leno's Headlines_?

does 'flash each other' mean something I don't know?

there were rumors they shared more than a love of headlines no

big homie couldn't even get his own thread

Is everyone blind?

[flashingdrudgesiren.gif] we shared a love of headlines [/flashingdrudgesiren.gif]

Breitbart doesn't even deserve his own RIP thread. such a horrible person.

This is off-topic but since this is the US politics thread I thought it was somewhat relevant. While currently the focus is on 'social' issues, the claim that rhetoric is at an all-time low doesn't quite stand up in historical context.

The post-Revolutionary War debt argument led by George Hamilton in the late 1780s was unpopular among southern states, and nearly caused Virginia to secede from the union. Unfair taxes was the big issue, and Senator George Mason of Virginia declared that Hamilton had,

done us more injury than Great Britain & all her fleets and armies."

Really brings to mind the economic terrorism/economic slavery rhetoric of the past few years.

Oh, that quote's from p. 51 of "The Federalist Era 1789-1801" by John C. Miller.

rhetoric is always at an all time low what you have now is a realignment of the parties along ideological lines and an increased willingness to use procedural tactics to gum up the legislative process

Ugh Lol. I watched The Roast of David Hasslehoff last night, got George on my mind.

done us more injury than Great Britain & all her fleets and armies."

Mitt Romney is the one non-handicapped guy competing in the Special Olympics, and he’s just barely winning.

Thanks for reminding me to ignore everything Seth MacFarlane says

Santorum and his never ending lulz

“[Karen] worked as a nurse, but after we got married, she decided to walk away, yet didn’t quit working. She was a mother, and also wrote two books,” Santorum said, in what also seemed to be an appeal to female voters.

He spent most of his speech repeating the themes he does on the stump, including his mention of the Declaration of Independence, but this evening there was a twist on that, too.

“The men and women who signed that declaration wrote the final phrase, ‘We pledge to each other our lives, our fortune, and our sacred honor,” Santorum said.

There were no women who signed the Declaration of Independence.

LOL

One thing that happens when you are a presidential candidate is that words become increasingly meaningless and all that you retain is the correct manner of their delivery. This is probably a simple case of flatlined brain waves cooupled with an open mouth. What matters more is when he says what he means and it makes your jaw drop..

*Nelson laugh*

His memoir is pretty remarkable & I recommend it highly: Crazy for God: How I Grew Up as One of the Elect, Helped Found the Religious Right, and Lived to Take All (or Almost All) of It Back

here's a more recent book of Schaeffer's that I really need to read, assuming it doesn't depress me too much:

Sex, Mom, and God: How the Bible's Strange Take on Sex Led to Crazy Politics--and How I Learned to Love Women (and Jesus) Anyway

Another good piece about Santorum & the religious right's fixation on education:
