Scott Brown continues his political death spiral today.

First, his campaign continued to push a bogus Native American attack long after most Massachusetts voters got tired of the B.S.

Then, after losing the election he pissed of the Mass GOP, with an extended fence sitting exercise, before deciding not to run in a special election to replace John Kerry.

He dug his political grave a little deeper with the announcement Brown was joining Faux News!

Then we learned he had more of his soul availabale for sale, when he became a Lobbyist.

Oh, and let's not forget his epic twitter fail!

But, Former Senator Scott "41st No Vote" Brown is not done killing his political future. Follow me over the Great Orange Curlie-Cue for the latest Brown self destruction....

Everyday I've been scanning through the Election Diary Resue, thinking I should really write a diary about my great representative, Congressman Jim McGovern, ActBlue.

Jim is one of the good guys. A member of the Progressive Caucus and a proud Liberal!

Earlier this year he was quoted as saying:

“It’s no secret that I’m a liberal; I didn’t poll any of this stuff, but I am who I am."

source: Boston Globe, 28 Aug 2010

This year, Jim is running against 2 candidates. A Republican with the backing of many local Tea Party groups and an Independent.

As Kos has pointed out on the Front Page, Duncan Hunter still doesn't think children of illegal immigrants should be American citizens. Apparently, the parents of these children lost part of their future child's soul, the part that embodies American citizenship, when they entered the country.

Maybe the souls get snagged on the border fence barbed-wire?

But I'm nervous, it the America born children of undocumented aliens are not citizens, what of the grandchildren?

Sadly, I think I'm screwed!

I've been perplexed about the "Deathers" and the right-wing fascination with end-of-life "Death Panels". I've been thinking that there is more to it than fear-mongering. Although the anti-healthcare reform leaders (a.k.a. Insurance Industry) have no qualms about inciting that fear.

Today's Abbreviated Pundit Roundup, pointed me to Kathleen Parker's WaPo editorial on the issue. Parker's concern trolling on the issue really pissed me off.

Find out why, below the fold....

No, No, not Mitt Romney, sorry. (We don't want his endorsement anyway.)

No, it is the original moderate Massachusetts Republican GovernorWilliam Weld

In today's Boston Globe, Weld announces he is endorsing Obama for President:

"Senator Obama is a once-in-a-lifetime candidate who will transform our politics and restore America's standing in the world," Weld said in a statement released Friday. "We need a president who will lead based on our common values and Senator Obama demonstrates an ability to unite and inspire.

"Throughout this campaign I've watched his steady leadership through trying times and I'm confident he is the best candidate to move our country forward,"

Sarah Palin is the key to the 2008 election. No, No, not because she is the first woman ever on a Republican ticket. Actually it doesn’t even matter that she is on the ticket. In fact, from a political strategy point of view, she matters little. Obama should just acknowledge her historic presence on the Republican ticket. Then move on and focus completely on McCain.

No, Sarah Palin is the key to this election, because she embodies what this country will become if we continue our idiotic trend of electing Republican Presidents.

The Boston Globe web site has a story up, Romney aide, targeted in probe, takes leave of absence.

Another Republican in trouble with the law, how shocking!!!! :-)

Mitt Romney's director of operations is taking a leave of absence from the presidential campaign after becoming the focus of an investigation into allegations that he posed as a state trooper in a recorded phone call complaining about a company's driver, the campaign announced today.

Apparently Romney's Director of Operations, Jay Garrity, likes impersonating law officers, more on the flip side....

I'm usually not one for emotional outbursts. And even when I do, like today, I'm pretty even tempered about it. I don't yell, curse, or insult. I just say what I have to say and move on.

Today, I sent the DCCC email and politely told them to "stuff it".

I took a look to see if CBS and/or Katie Couric had responded to the blogstorm ( Katie Couric repeats the madrassa smear against Obama ) over her Notebook entry about Barak Obama last week. I was curious if massive complaints from the blog-o-sphere had any influence on Couric or CBS?

It turns out, yes, we did have an impact. Couric has posted a "corrected" notebook entry.

Join me over the fold, to see just how lame the "corrected" notebook entry is.

I'm sure that most DK regulars are aware of Mitt Romney's latest right-wingnut pander attempts. Mitt has inflated claims about his hunting and shooting experiences and his history of gun ownership.

Mitt has figuratively shoot himself in the foot with these exaggerated claims. Little did he know, we was also drawing a nice bulls-eye on his back for his "Home-state" (snicker) press to aim at.

Geez, don't these people know that hunting on Sunday is illegal in Massachusetts?

Join me on the flip side for the Mitt hunt...

Occasionally I take a stroll over at Red State to see what they are talking about.

I was surprised today to see they've actually admitted that there was probably nothing to Drudge's report of CNN journalist Michael Ware heckling of Sen. McCain.
