Update: Looks like this asshole is a multiple offender.

“The Liberal Media” just can’t seem to focus on this Mittens-impersonates-a-cop story. Karoli channels Conason:

If Mitt Romney had a penchant in his youth for masquerading as a state police officer — and there is reason to believe he did – then he seems to have attracted staffers with that same peculiar fantasy over the years. During the summer of 2007, months before the general public paid much attention to the Republican presidential candidates, Romney’s 2008 campaign stumbled into a scandal that led to the resignation of a top staffer accused of impersonating a state trooper, and allegations of similar misconduct by at least two others.

Ann Althouse, one-time Bad Law Professor of the Week, weighs in with her usual imbecilic observations about whether Obama made a blowjob joke (he didn’t):

Take the poll. (Does that sound dirty to you?!)

“I’m in our situation room right now and I have an urgent update about the state of the race on the ground. Reports coming into our call center have confirmed that Walker’s allies just launched a massive wave of voter suppression calls to recall petition signers. Here is what people are receiving across Wisconsin:

‘If you signed the recall petition, your job is done and you don’t need to vote on Tuesday.’”

One thing about the GOP – when they have power, they use it – no Democrat-style dithering.

Wisconsin’s Governor Walker (R-Koch) might lose even if he wins:

Good riddance to one of the worst Republican governors in office.

Open thread for those of you who want to liveblog the Nevada caucus results. Rather than go with the usual gambling analogies, I thought I’d go with battle of the religions.

It looks like Mittens has the caucus wrapped up, in no small part due to the significant percentage of Mormons in the state.

But in another corner, there’s going to be a special caucus for Orthodox Jews this evening at a school funded and named for Gingrich patrons/casino owners Dr. Miriam and Sheldon Adelson. Read more »
