| The Vote Fraud Fraud, Pt. IV: Hans A. von Spakovsky |
| Published: September 26, 2007, 12:02 pm |
| Tags: The Vote Fraud Fraud, Free Dahlia Lithwick |
| great Dahlia Lithwick explains why Democrats should not vote for Hans von Spakovsky, just as he would prefer that they not vote for anything else:Von Spakovsky currently sits on the FEC as a result of a recess appointment made by President Bush in January of 2006. Before that he served as counsel to the assistant attorney general in the Civil |

| Maureen Dowd and Frank Rich. Nice to see that we're in for more than a year of vapid and sometimes sexist attacks on Clinton from ostensible liberals on an ostensibly liberal op-ed page......Greg Sargent has more. |

| issue. Ever the pithy one, Dahlia Lithwick sums it up pretty well:So just to catch you non-Booker people up on what you've missed in the last few years: There used to be a lack of uniformity in sentencing. Congress created sentencing guidelines. The court decided the guidelines were merely advisory. Appeals courts said sometimes advisory |

| Bobo's Burkean Bush |
| Published: October 7, 2007, 1:16 pm |
| Tags: Free Dahlia Lithwick, The Fiasco, The Fantasy Life Of Bobo |
| Henry Farrell notes a contradiction in Brooks's embarrassingly belated realization that George W. Bush is not, in fact, a Burke/Oakeshott conservative. My favorite example from the Brooks archives, however, has to be this one:Because of that legacy, we stink at social engineering. Our government couldn't even come up with a plan for postwar Iraq |

| Please never try to write satire in another voice ever again. I've been thinking for a while at picking some of the Pulitzer-winning columns from 1999 at random and seeing just how debased the standards of whoever votes for those awards are. But I'm not sure I have the stomach for it. |

| Tags: Free Dahlia Lithwick, The Clenis Tm, Wingnuttery, Wayne Dumond, Mike Huckabee |
| I forgot to blog about this on Thursday, but this has to rank as one of the most remarkable recent paragraphs written on the increasingly embarrassing NYT op-ed page: Lately, anti-Huckabee conservatives have been suggesting he's soft on crime. The story involves an Arkansas man, Wayne DuMond, who was accused of kidnapping and raping a high school |

| The Madness of MoDo |
| Published: October 31, 2007, 2:24 pm |
| Tags: Free Dahlia Lithwick, The Dowdification Of American Political Journalism |
| Molly Ivors does a good job with the latest bit of vacuous misogyny from Maureen Dowd, whose presence on a major op-ed page remains and will always be an absolute disgrace. A couple more points are worth emphasizing. First, none of this has the slightest shred of substantive significance; the idea (also now being propounded by Slate) that |

| Mark Hemingway apparently doesn't use a spell-checker, but nonetheless -- credit where credit is due:In fact, as I've theorized for some time now, Dowd's aimlessness has become so pronounced that it seems as though her florid sentences could be arranged at random, with little discernable difference to her usual columns. The opening of the New York |

| Following up on the fine post of his colleague, Bob Herbert tees off (implicitly) on David Brooks's attempts to whitewash Reagan's awful record on civil rights and use of rhetorical code to appeal to the white supremacists whose votes were crucial to the post-CRA partisan realignment:Reagan was the first presidential candidate ever to appear at |

| The Horror |

| The heart sags at the idea of dealing with yet another case of MoDo using her longing for 19th century gender relations to create asinine, content-free negative scripts about the Democratic candidates. That features an African-American man being "whipped" by a white woman. Fortunately, it's been taken care of by Steve:Is any of this true? I don't |

| Back from Canada, but off to bucolic New England to celebrate your phoney-baloney version of Thanksgiving. In the meantime, I have to agree that while probably less destructive to political discourse Collins's columns have even less content than Dowd's... |

| More sexist trivia at the Washington Post. In fairness, the Givhan/Milbank clown show doesn't just apply to Clinton. Somerby -- who also correctly points out "the rule of this upper-class clan: Big Dem women are really men. And Big Dem men are just women," sums up the Post's coverage of several candidates:1.
