Democrats scored a huge victory in last night’s special election… I guess that makes it a very special election. A Democrat won a race to fill a House seat in the heavily Republican 26th District in upstate New York. This district was so red that it actually radiated heat like a really bad sunburn. The seat was vacant because Republican Congressman Christopher Lee resigned after he e-mailed a shirtless photo of himself to a woman he met on the internet. Now a lot more than Christopher Lee’s chest has been exposed.Last night Democrat Kathy Hochul beat Republican Jane Corwin. But more importantly, Hochul really beat Paul Ryan. If this can happen in New York’s 26th, it can happen anywhere. District 26 has been Republican for four decades… or since about the time that the people who would lose their Medicare first under Paul Ryan’s plan were born. Eric Cantor said “I know this town loves to take signals from individual races. I think the best signal you can take is the 63 seats that we picked up in November.” Nice try, Eric. I don’t know the exact amount of time, but November was approximately 1,000 years ago. That’s 1,000 years BP… Before Paul Ryan.
Harry Reid has scheduled a Senate vote on the Paul Ryan budget plan for later this week. Harry Reid is essentially laying an extension of the “third rail” of politics right into the Senate chamber and daring Republican Senators to touch it. Right now four Senators are on record saying they’ll vote against the Ryan plan. It’s too crazy for Scott Brown, Susan Collins, and Olympia Snowe. And it’s not crazy enough for Rand Paul.
And the guy who led the “prayer” in the Minnesota legislature that said President Obama is not a Christian (video below) is trying to profit from his wrongdoing. Anti-gay heavy metal preacher Bradlee Dean is trying to fundraise so he can hire a publicist. A publicist? Bradlee, if you want someone with no moral scruples who will get you noticed, don’t you already have Michele Bachmann? Oh, and Bradlee, I’m willing to give you a free piece of advise that I bet any publicist would approve—get rid of the tracksuit. You’re welcome!
