Kaloogian Goes Splat
Tweet
Howard Kaloogian, you’ll recall, is the perennial right-wing candidate in California connected to the nutjob group Move America Forward and radio host Melanie Morgan. Somehow I got on Kaloogian’s email list and after he was busted faking his Iraq trip photos, they sent about an email a day to the rubes to contribute to the campaign claiming that “the liberal media” had conspired to stop him and elect Francine Busby, who was supposedly a secret agent of MoveOn. So, election day comes by and Kaloogian musters… 7.45%.

Kallogian should run with Joey Buttafucco and Jeff Gillooly on the “Funny-Ass Names” ticket.
And, oh yes, Oliver, congratulations. Characterizing an organization of Gold Star mothers (you might want to check into what that means — look under, “Sheehan, Cindy, left wing, icon of”) as a nutjob group is a new low for for you.
But, you have a ways to go. Blog journalism is fraught with possibilties for disgusting behavior. See Wonkette for details.
Apparently, Ms. Busby didn’t do so hot, either
So, clearly, this kook was in the mainstream of the Republican party. He hardly represents a tiny minority viewpoint of the party. But, bash away.
Move America Forward is a fringe, lunatic, kook group. They are only tangentially connected to Gold Star mothers, and are in fact a modern extension of the John Birch society anti-UN conspiracy mongers.
Ms. Busby did well enough to do better than everyone else in the race.
Whatever you say, Okiver. Please, no MM links, that simply say what you said.
They are the mothers of dead soldiers.
But not well enough to … you know … win. She’ll get the same % in the runoff and lose handily.
But hey, if all you’re interested in is moral victories, congratulations!

Beats the hell out of immoral victories.
