What Do You Get When You Cross Bridger Pierce and Taylor Brown?

17. September 2008

A sleazy push poll and an awkward lie to cover it up. Taylor Brown seems uncertain that his career as a commercial hack for used car dealerships might not be enough to convince people to vote for him, or his giant cowboy hat, so the Montana Republican Party decided (entirely without consulting the giant hat of [...]

Erik Iverson Attacks Someone for Being Partisan–Does Not Compute

26. August 2008

Say your job (or one of them—it’s hard to tell where one begins and the other ends) is defending Dennis Rehberg to the people of Montana. Do you have any credibility attacking someone as partisan? Especially someone like Governor Schweitzer, who has a proven record of working with Republicans? Well, I guess credibility is one of [...]

Denny Rehberg: You Can’t Make This Stuff Up

19. August 2008

I know; I am on another one of my one man crusades against Denny Rehberg, but when he acts like he does, it’s hard not to point out the hypocrisy. Remember, Representative Rehberg, who bitterly criticized Congress for not taking up the work of the people in August. You know, the guy who said this: “If you [...]

Denny Rehberg: I’ll Take an Order of Hypocrisy with a Side of Lies, Please

14. August 2008

Do you ever wonder if, now that Conrad Burns is off in a life of lobbying, Representative Rehberg feels the need to ratchet up his buffoonery to maintain Montana’s reputation for having one totally incompetent member of Congress at a time? Rehberg’s never been a particularly good Representative, but in the past few months, he [...]

Where’s Denny?

13 Republicans played debate in Washington. Where was Denny? Oh, at a ribbon-cutting ceremony. But…I thought we wanted him back in Washington? “If you were to go out and ask the general public in Montana today should Congress be on a five-week vacation or should they be in Congress trying to solve the energy crisis, they would tell [...]

Rehberg’s 14 Minutes and the Media’s Response: Which Was Worse?

9. August 2008

Initially, let’s review Representative Rehberg’s stance on the Republican Potemkin Congress this week. According to his taxpayer-funded web site on August 6th, Rehberg feels that the Potemkin Congress is incredibly important. His press release makes the case: “America needs a Congress that will act now to reduce our dependence on foreign oil and work to lower [...]

No…This Isn’t a Stunt for Politics! Not at All!

This is what your member of Congress thinks qualifies as doing the people’s work: making amateurish YouTube videos, in which he pronounces basic words he’s recently been visiting Kazakhstan. I guess I understand what Rehberg is doing. Despite his legislative history as the least productive member of Congress in a Republican Congress that met for the [...]
