Words Fail Me

Nashville for the 21st Century (Free subscription) | yesterday

John McCain's campaign is truly becoming a parody of itself ...I once thought McCain was the best the Republicans had to offer, and maybe that is still true, but I think even Fred Thompson or Mitt Romney might've had more tact and responsibility than McCain and his campaign full of children.

Common Sense and Wonder (Free subscription) | yesterday

The Corner (Free subscription) | 07/22/2008

John Fund had a great piece over the weekend on the disturbing tendency of politicians using earmarks to name things after themselves. (I've complained about this before.) I was especially very pleased to read that Fred Thompson asked Tennessee legislators not to name a highway after him. I'd say we need to shame the rest of these people into changing their behavior, but shamelessness is regrettably...
