— Ace Ever wonder why we have the political class we do? Given that their surface capabilities are so obviously lacking?
Yeah, well, maybe there's stuff going on you don't see.
In related news, Ari Fleischer just emailed me to say "FIRST! In before Will Folks."
Update: Would You? A commenter pointed out that I really fell down on the job here by not linking a picture.
She shopped the book in 2009 under the working title, "My Burning Bush."
Subtle.
One of the things editors do is give titles to books. I think "Life of the Party" is an editor doing a decent job.
Here's another pic:
Eh. Glamour shots are extremely unreliable evidence. And it's meh anyway.
Of course, as George Carlin observed, one sentence which has never been spoken in the history of the universe is "Stop s***ing my d*** immediately or I will call the police."

"Are relatively frequent elections a sufficient safeguard for freedom?
And what good are elections when any representative democratic system
eventually, and inevitably, becomes rigged to favor incumbents and a class of
elites? The present system is dominated by a class of career politicians,
increasingly hereditary, who must possess some combination of wealth,
influence, insider connections, and official credentials, and who use their
offices to acquire more. Generally, the higher the office the more this is the
case. It is little wonder that a system such as this would create a mass of
passive, easily manipulated citizens and a professional political class
increasingly adept at manipulating them."

This kind of blatant depravity, and how this screws over the rest of us, makes me wish for a sweet escape from this wretched rot-blister.

Gee, Ralph Reed is a hard-nosed political guy, who would've thought?
She appears to engage in a lot of irresponsible speculation, though, accusing Ralph Reed of things she has no knowledge of, like that McCain "smear" which nobody ever heard about until McCain whined and bitched about it after SC was over. Johnny Mac, South Carolinians were tired of your Maverick act all the way back then, too.
I think the biggest story here is that Lisa Baron has turned from a slut to a whore, and her price has gone down.

If Wiki is to be believed (but I remember this) Ari got married in 2002. All the incidents chronicled in the article (and one can only presume, the whole book) were in 2000.

Single men getting reasonable looking women to agree to a role in the hay is a dramatic story worth an entire novel now? Because R's have a gig that says we should teach abstinence to minors, suddenly sex between consenting, presumably responsible, adults is somehow notable? The meh is strong here. If anything it shows R's aren't the prudes we are made out to be.

There are approximately six hundred and ninety-two political books called Life of the Party. And the editors of the last six hundred and ninety-one got their jobs by blowin' dudes.

Alynski interviewed by William F Buckley, 1967
Lefts true history, notice Alynski called "pet revolutionary of the church people." The religious and Southern radicals during the ugly years were leftist democrats. 1994 was the first year democrats no longer controlled the majority of the south. As someone who is religious and lived in the south, that is pretty much the time frame everything race relations cooled off and the economy started growing in the south.

I wonder how the MFM coverage of this will compare to Weinergate. Probably only 2 or 3 times the number of feature spots. Looks like the Republicans are headed for extinction, again.

Since Ari, there has been Tony Snow (who was great) and the rest were drastically inferior.
