Even though Bristol Palin was dancing in California on the television last night, she still should have sent in her ballot absentee, because voting is just what white rural folks do, and that’s how their candidates win elections. But this morning, as the sun continues to hover over Alaska, Joe Miller is crying because Bristol [...]
If you make it through even a little of the “50 Most Beautiful People” on the Hill list — especially the moving prose — you will learn that the people on this annual summer-gimmick list made it there because of the ability to survive on a diet of cheese nips, pasta, and Diet Mountain Dew. [...]
There is nothing quite like an early summer morning around our nation’s Capitol, where happy families are wandering lost and smiling and snapping pictures and lining up for tours of the grand slave-built palace of democracy. But why are they so happy, when they’re wandering lost in the crushing heat and wilting humidity, and where [...]
A “beat sweetener” is when a reporter flatters a loathsome official, in hopes that the newsmaker’s press person will send news releases a few minutes before that same statement goes out to the entire media world — and that’s how a political journalist Wins the Morning. Today’s beat sweetener is about Congresslady Debbie Wasserman Schultz, [...]
Stunningly awful Washington lawyer/lobbyist-cum-pundit Lanny Davis, who demands everyone take a pledge to be civil while he literally does whatever X corporation pays him to do, uses his latest column in The Hill to condescendingly lecture Markos “Kos” Moulitsas about how he didn’t properly apologize to a congressman for an error he made in his [...]

We give credit to The Hill for having the courage to start a very necessary new blog, Twitter Room, which nobly tries to capture all of the insane shit members of Congress write on their Twitters. Here’s something they picked up from Rep. Leonard Boswell’s Twitter yesterday — they even read LEONARD BOSWELL’S TWITTER, these [...]
Washington’s The Hill newspaper has published its 2008 list of the 50 Most Beautiful People on Capitol Hill, and yes, they were somehow able to find the requisite 50 people! We don’t really know where to begin with this. Checking out all the names and pictures takes long enough, and then there are little articles [...]
Here’s a nice video from The Hill newspaper that shows fitness creep Richard Simmons annoying Capitol Hill for several hours yesterday. He testifies to a House committee about No Child Left Behind destroying public schools’ physical education programs, and he exercises with Hill staffers outside the building. For Republican Congressmen who could witness this from [...]
Alaska’s corrupt congressman-for-life Don Young is well known for his insane outbursts and being investigated by the Feds for being a bribe-taking crook, but did you know his wife is notorious for torturing her husband’s interns with weird foods?
