Lamar was my governor from 1st-9th grade, so in my mind he has that god-like quality we tend to assign to our first heroes.

Your first hero was a politician?

Jeez, my first hero was Rusty Staub.

Kill it with fire.

The elder daughter of former Vice President Dick Cheney is running for Congress, following up a failed U.S. Senate campaign two years ago with another attempt to woo voters in a state where she has been a full-time resident for only a few years.

Liz Cheney filed federal election documents Friday showing she's running for Wyoming's lone seat in the U.S. House of Representatives.

Politically speaking, I remember reports being published that she shares little ideology with her father.

I think that's the other daughter. This one is a regular on the VRWC idiots circuit and is a neocon.

Yeah, the other one is gay and married. There were lots of articles about this one being against such marriages at the time.

One Freedom Caucus member down.

The seat will likely not be a pickup, but hopefully as the TeaPers and their ilk peter out the replacement R will be sane.

Why can't these people talk more like Mike Zimmer?

Couldn't he just say, "I need to spend more time with my family. That's all." instead of this long drawn out statement making him out to be some sort of man's man or hero?

What am I thinking? Of course not. He's a politician.

Yep, she's amazing.

Sometimes I think the only thing between the plutes and the imposition of an irredeemable oligarchy is about a dozen brilliant and dedicated people.

She's part of the checks and balances that seems to be sadly lacking these days.

I may not agree with her politics, but I want her around to keep a semblance of honesty in the game.

What a bunch of pieces of ****.

Especially this one. King Sh*#thead:
The Republican-dominated North Carolina House delegation all supported Adams’ bill. But on the House floor, after Adams hailed Angelou as “one of our country’s greatest writers, thought leaders and an overall phenomenal woman,” freshman Republican Rep. Grothman of Wisconsin stood to speak.

Calling it “a big decision” to put someone’s name on a post office, he said, “people should investigate Maya Angelou a little bit,” pointing to articles about her in conservative publications such as the American Spectator.

One such article, in the days after Angelou died, said she was “more revered than read” and that she was “survived by her seven autobiographies.”

“At her most irresponsible,” it said, “she embraced Fidel Castro, Malcolm X and Bill Clinton — a mistake for a lady of any age.”

Grothman’s office did not respond to requests for comment.

I just want to punch that face so hard.

Classic example of GOP Mefirstthink. This plays great for a handful of Members with their constituents who want to stick one in the Commie Pinko eye of Castro, but the rest of the country sees them pushing a nice old black lady down the stairs. Spectacularly stupid optics. If the party had any discipline or structure those nine runts would be cleaning out the cloakroom lavatory with toothbrushes, but there is nothing now to prevent one Member from hurting the overall party for his own selfish gain.

Paul Ryan should bring this Grothman out back and beat him with a hose. Tell him to stop besmirching their state and office. Wisconsin totally caught me off guard when I saw the list of congressmen who voted no. I know Wisconsin is a bunch of thinner-drinking deer-****ers, but they are also somewhat pragmatic about things like this.

I can't believe I'm defending Wisconsin and Paul Ryan.

Wisconsin has jumped the shark. They're no longer a pragmatic progressive state. With Ron Johnson as Senator and Walker as Governor they've jumped over the line into full Kansas mode.

I don't understand how this happened. Last I knew they were Minnesota with more beer. Now they're Northern Oklahoma. Wha- happen-?
