‘Ahem … Iraq?’ Nah. @StateDept is ‘focused like a laser beam on fish’

Politics & Government

@StateDept Russia is annexing Ukraine. Radical Islamists are taking Iraq. Iran wants nukes. And you're focused like a laser beam on fish. — Razor (@hale_razor) June 12, 2014 Earlier this week, the State Department tweeted that it “stands with the people of Iraq.” http://twitter.com/#!/StateDept/status/476402767938871297 But enough about the sickening and dire situation over there. Let’s talk about fish. Freaking fish. http://twitter.com/#!/StateDept/status/477074006034894848 Priorities? Check! #OurOcean2014? Ah, the “promise of hashtag.” Is the State Department sure it doesn’t want to go with #BringBackOurFish to really drive home the pressing importance […]

‘Just nasty’: What exactly is WSJ trying to suggest with this piece on Dave Brat?

Politics & Government

http://twitter.com/#!/Doc_0/status/476727326240432130 Oy vey. As Twitchy reported, lefties lamely tried to paint GOP Rep. Eric Cantor’s primary loss last night as evidence that the Tea Party is anti-Semitic. And for many conservatives, this Wall Street Journal piece by Reid Epstein isn’t much better: http://twitter.com/#!/hmfearny/status/476728120544727040 http://twitter.com/#!/Slublog/status/476726302326943745 See for yourselves: http://twitter.com/#!/Tyler_McNally/status/476724354987077632 Yeah?

Roberts wins Kansas Senate primary, barely; Blames weak showing on Obama

Politics & Government

http://twitter.com/#!/benson23669/status/496864293409673216 As Twitchy reported last night, Sen. Pat Roberts was projected to prevail over Tea Party-backed challenger Dr. Milton Wolf in the Kansas GOP Senate primary. http://twitter.com/#!/AP/status/496853824184020992 The race was closer than many expected, an indication of dissatisfaction with Sen. Roberts among conservatives: http://twitter.com/#!/GarrettHaake/status/496846680675737601 http://twitter.com/#!/GarrettHaake/status/496849092174036992 Last night, Roberts told reporter Garrett Haake he attributed Wolf’s strong showing to … wait for it… anger at President Obama: http://twitter.com/#!/GarrettHaake/status/496862535556300801 Huh? Earlier, Kansas Gov. Sam Brownback said the same thing: http://twitter.com/#!/GarrettHaake/status/496835892032458752 Judging by the reaction on Twitter, it doesn’t appear that anyone is buying this explanation. http://twitter.com/#!/MatchGame67/status/496865669322133504 […]

Pandermania! RNC says ‘all Republicans support equal pay’

Politics & Government

http://twitter.com/#!/GOP/status/506524410158006272 We get that the RNC is trying to zing the White House for its rank hypocrisy on this issue. But seeming to embrace the socialist notion that the government should mandate equal pay by gender is a total messaging #fail.
