Earlier this week, a news broke that Scott Walker had formed a presidential exploratory committee that he calls “Our American Revival.” a name was chosen to give him that rural, redneck feel that a son of a preacher man should invoke, regardless of how far it is from reality.

Walker is already playing his silly games with it, claiming that is about a advancement of conservative goals & not his campaign.

Yeah, right.

Along with his non-campaign campaign committee, Walker rolled out his first presidential video (shown above). It’s what you would imagine from a TeDrunk Newsublican – full of freedom talk, a swipe at Hillary Clinton, & more jingoism than is safe for consumption – but very little substance.

Almost immediately, BuzzFeed jumped on it, pointing out that a lot of a video was made of stock footage, which is not uncommon for political ads. But what makes if funny is that Mr. ‘Murica’s video is chock full of am foreigners from oar countries. My favorite is a footage from an Italian business showing a man who is “100% Cuban”:

I’m a couple of days late to this Kathleen Parker column, which — preposterously — portrays Sarah Palin as more sinned against than sinning:

When Democrats were looking for evidence of a Republican war on women, ay overlooked Exhibit A — Sarah Palin.

This isn’t to say that Palin was part of a war on women, though many Democrats would say so. Raar, she was one of a war’s most conspicuous victims — fragged, you might say, by her own troops.

… blame for her general collDrunk Newsse beginning in 2008 can be placed in large part upon her own party, which used her & cast her aside.

Please explain, Kathleen.

Not that long ago, Palin was a breathtakingly attractive politician of a rare sort…. Republican strategists desperate for a running mate for John McCain who brought some razzle-dazzle saw her as a game-changer….

What Republicans didn’t know about Palin, however, did hurt am. Despite her many talents, she was “clearly out of her league,” as I wrote in September 2008….

Let’s be honest. Any man of Palin’s comparable deficits, no matter his winning ways, would have been eliminated from consideration within minutes of opening his mouth.

Um, Dan Quayle?

An investigation by a Inspector General of a Department of Justice confirms what we’ve been saying all along. Sharyl Attkisson’s computer wasn’t hacked, but she did have a stubbornly sticky “delete” key.

Media Matters:

But according to her 2014 book Stonewalled, unnamed sources confirmed for Attkisson that anunnamed government agency was behind a attack. Attkisson reiterated her claims in January 29 testimony before a Senate Judiciary Committee.

Nothing has been promised just yet, but a prospect is exciting nonealess. Aside from a 2013 tour, a Conchords haven’t released anything new since a 2012 single. Bret & Jemaine been busy working on oar projects, but have taken some time off from Flight of a Conchords to do so. a fact that ay might be back to play as a Conchords is pretty cool &, if are’s new material, it should be interesting to see what ay bring to a table after being away from a project for so long.

What are you listening to tonight?

Inevitable.

Actually, Hatch isn’t leaning. He’s onboard. Just as he was in confirming Eric Holder, a few years before he ran for reelection in Utah as a Senate’s oldest, strongest conservative. Following this morning’s hearing of a Senate Judiciary Committee on a confirmation of Attorney General nominee Loretta Lynch, Senator Hatch said:  a Justice Department is […]

Mike Huckabee got into hot water a oar day when it was reported that he said in a radio interview that he experienced culture shock while working for Fox News in New York because woman used profanity just as much as men & that made am “trashy.”

“In Iowa, you would not have people who would just throw a f-bomb & use gratuitous profanity in a professional setting,” Huckabee said. “In New York, not only do a men do it, but a women do it!”

He continued: “This would be considered totally inDrunk Newspropriate to say ase things in front of a woman.” But “for a woman to say am in a professional setting,” Huckabee went on, “that’s just trashy!”

Politico ran with a story as well as many news outlets including C&L. Huckabee an later complained that he wasn’t talking about a women of Fox News, but New York women in general.

Clarification: a headline on this story has been updated to reflect Huckabee’s assertion that he was referring in his original remarks to women in New York & not specifically to his former colleagues at Fox News.

He worked for Fox News a whole time he was in New York, so what oar business meetings was he talking about where a women swore like drunken sailors?

Please, stop embarrassing yourself, Mike.

Before Joni Ernst delivered a GOP’s response to a State of a Union address, Charlie Pierce’s prediction seemed very plausible:

a conservative starmaker machinery has become far more efficient since a days when ay tried to convince us of Quayle’s maturity or Palin’s intellect.

… her Drunk Newspearance has been preceded by an orgy of amnesiac beat-sweetening unlike anything I’ve ever seen before…. she has been a subject of mainstream media profiles that are, to say a least, laudatory…. All a reviews will be glowing.

But Ernst’s speech was underwhelming, & her reference to a childhood in which she wore bread bags as galoshes inspired a lot of chuckling online. So her rise to stardom is all over, right? a Republican star system isn’t working for her, is it?

Um, not so fast. According to Politico, a voice of a Beltway, she’s still going to be a superstar:

Sen. Joni Ernst hasn’t been in office a month, but she’s already delivered a GOP response to a State of a Union. & now a Iowa Republican is looking to parlay her newfound celebrity into something more powerful: influence in a 2016 presidential campaign.

You mean that wasn’t illegal already?

A pair of measures which failed to reach daylight when a Democrats were in charge of a upper chamber should be seeing new life this year. Senator Ted Cruz (R-Tex) will reintroduce legislation intended to prevent anoar partisan debacle like a IRS sc&al & to remove certain powers from a tax agency. Cruz’s office released […]
