While we wait for ultimate in stupidity (Frosty the Snowman to make a return engagement on CNN), here’s a couple more items for the “Stupid Party” pile:
– (H/T – the ripped-off Slublog) Sinistar, the guy behind doubleplusundead, found out that Minnesota GOP vice-chair Michael Barrett has been ripping off the material of various “lesser-known” bloggers (as if AoS HQ, the 2007 Weblog Awards Best Conservative Blog, is “lesser known”) and passing it off as his own. Barrett refused to do the right thing, which would be apologize and start attributing stuff he borrows. Instead, he took the cowards’ way out and after mumbling out a semi-apology, “hung it up” (I give him 3 months before he’s back to stealing, only from a new blog).
– (H/T – Dad29) It seems the Virginia GOP is insisting on participants in its Presidential primary February 12 sign “loyalty oaths” to support the official nominee (especially if it’s the hand-picked one of the “R”NC, Rudi Giuliani). The Roanoke Times rips them, mostly deservedly-so. Suggestion for the Virginia GOP; if you can’t stand a semi-open primary, do caucuses.
