Of course, by definition, a Republican is a fucking idiot, and I don't doubt that Hatch is more of an idiot than anyone else in his party. In fact, most people would probably tell you he's LESS of an idiot.

But what he said on Hardball tonight (I'm on semester break and can't sleep so I watched the re-broadcast at 3 a.m) gives him a chance to edge out Lindsay Graham as today's Trojan-Enz boner of the day. MSNBC doesn't have the transcript up yet, but here's what he said, in case you missed it (my words, not his, since I don't have the transcipt) Read More

I am convinced that if every American voter spent a day in the Mississippi Delta, it would be virtually impossible for Republicans to win any elections.

Of course, it is abundantly clear that if every American voter took a minute to think about the poverty that exists in this country and the extent to which Republican politicians make sure that the rich get richer, while the poor get poorer, Democrats would win every time and Republicans would be exposed for their absurdity.

But I never realized the extent to which this was the case until I came to the Mississippi Delta for the first time in October. Read More

Diane Farrell gives the Dems another good chance to play offense in the House in 06 in the 4th district.

It's a heavily Republican district, but voted for Kerry. Lot of rich, pro-business Repubs but not too many wing-nuts, and incumbent Chris Shays is sure to make himself look moderate, as he did when he called for DeLay to step down.

Anyway though, Farrell ran in 04 and lost only 52-48 in a district that Shays previously had a stronghold on. Some more anti-Bush sentiment could put her over the top.

A good Democratic Gubernatorial candidate would surely hope her cause too.

I'm sure most of you guys are a bit too old for this, but I'll be at the CDA convention next week in DC.

Part of the time at these things, as with all conventions, is spent nominating and electing national officers, and while I'm not saying it doesn't matter who holds these positions, it's impossible to know anything about the candidates (unless you personally know them) without virtually stalking them.

But other than that, I think it should be really interesting. List of speakers is highlighted by Kerry, Hillary and Dean.

Anyone else gonna be there?

Brian McGrory has a great collumn in today's Boston Globe:

"Specifically, here's what Santorum wrote about the church pedophile scandal on a religious website called Catholic Online. ''When the culture is sick, every element in it becomes infected. While it is no excuse for this scandal, it is no surprise that Boston, a seat of academic, political, and cultural liberalism in America, lies at the center of the storm.

..."Of course. The whole thing is MIT's fault. Why didn't we realize this sooner? Maybe the Globe should give its Pulitzer Prize back because it failed to get to the root cause of the scandal: Cambridge-based rocket science professors."
