HARTFORD, Conn. - Richard Blumenthal's words are haunting him again.

Already forced to apologize for saying he had served "in" Vietnam in the Marine Reserve rather than stateside, the state attorney general's campaign for U.S. Senate is now being challenged to explain his assertion that he had "never taken PAC money" and has "rejected all special ( Read more... )

Oy vey. Blumenthal, please for the love of God stop fucking this up. I'm voting for him, but I'm holding my nose as I drop the ballot in.

I should add Did Not Do the Research.

I oppose cap and trade! It's evil! Nevermind that CT is one of 10 states in the US with its own cap and trade market for CO2 and was one of the first states with it. I WILL MAKE NO MENTION OF THIS. cap and trade is evil! EVIL. I oppose it. Unless we're doing it.

Unless you're paying attention, it's easy to totally miss this, but for crap sake woman, don't oppose shit we have! Next auction of CO2 allowances is September 9th Based on trend on past auctions, I'm predicting it'll trade at $1.75 a ton.

Clearly the crazy has been building up in CT. Maybe we'll get it all out of our system for a few years...

Clearly the crazy going on in various states is only a precursor to the 2012 Presidential election.

The one that gets me with McMahon is so much of the shit she mails out is clear she Did Not Do the Research. wait, what, you're opposed to the federal government doing X while completely ignoring we HAVE this as a law in that state? What is this, federal government bad, state government bad? and yet you're running for federal office...

WTF.
