Run against an idiot like Florida Democrat Tim Mahoney who can’t keep it in his pants. If I lived in that district, I’d maybe vote for the Republican.

The GOP will do us a favor to defeat this loser.
Oliver!
What are you doing? You’re posting negative about a Democrat! How are the usual knobs going to call you out for never highlighting negative things done by Democrats if you go ahead and highlight idiots like Tim Mahoney?
I must go tell the other liberal fascists about you! Prepare to have your door beaten down by our jackbooted Volvo-driving thugs!
To quote Atrios, “Nobody could have predicted a rich Republican asshole would act like one! Thanks Rahm!”
SpiderJ: Clearly, I’m out of the club.

At least it was an adult woman this time.
Jeez, Oliver, you must have the same agent as Peggy Noonan and Kathleen Parker.
Should we be looking for you on Fox News soon?
Better late than never eh Oliver? Rahm Emmanuel has had this under his hat since 2007.
Culture of Corruption.

Call. Unnamed Mahoney staffers are NOT evidence.
What does it take?
How about Michelle “Leona Helmsley” Obama ordering a little $350 snack from room service at the Waldorf Astoria. Her order included lobster hors d’oeuvres, two whole steamed lobsters, Iranian caviar and champagne. (NY Post Page Six)
I wonder if that’s how the poor slobs who sent $25 bucks to Obama expected their donations to be spent?
I’ll see your lobster snack, willie, and raise you Cindy Helmsley, err.. Hensly McCain’s skillion-dollar earrings.
Well, who could argue the credibility of that font of wisdom, Page Six?
william,
1) I’ve had my campaign donation spent on more fruitless things. While I was home in Texas last weekend, I was yelling at the TV because I saw an Obama ad on it. That cost a lot more than $350, it’s not going to help the campaign, and it’s not even going to be a fun memory for the Obama family of the time they tried extravagant foods at the Waldorf-Astoria. Yet I haven’t asked for my money back, because when you donate to a campaign, you leave it in their discretion how to spend the money. Speaking of which,
2) Your source of the NY Post, Page 6 — which itself relies on an unnamed tipster who apparently couldn’t provide documentary evidence, like the bill with Mrs. Obama’s signature — doesn’t say whether the room service was charged to the campaign or not. Some expenses on the campaign trail will be deemed personal and are not chargeable to the campaign.
Incidentally, people who do believe in documentary evidence can check the Obama campaign’s FEC filings on fec.gov (search Obama for America). While obviously an expense from just this week won’t be there yet, you certainly can check through and see if there’s any pattern of such expenditures being charged the campaign. Are expensive hotels where Obama is having a meeting, but where the campaign is not staying for the night, also showing up on the expenditures filings as places where the campaign made significant disbursements for food and drink?
william: I wonder if that’s how the poor slobs who sent $25 bucks to Obama expected their donations to be spent?
So you have proof that the bill was paid with campaign funds?
Hell, you have proof it actually happened?
Oh, a “tipster” reported it to a gossip page. Must be true.
Don’t be critical of Oliver. He’s just following the Obama playbook. When someone goes from being a political asset to a political liability, it’s “under the bus” with them.
Bye bye, Tim Mahoney!

Yeah, this statement definitely sets off the bullshit alarm.
A Democrat who pays hush money to hide an affair is not worthy to represent Palm Beach – nobody threw him under the bus, he lay down there himself.
When someone goes from being a political asset to a political liability, it’s “under the bus” with them.
Yeah, the GOP strategy of “when somebody gets caught doing something wrong, deny and smear the accusers” is so much more noble.
Yeah, this statement definitely sets off the bullshit alarm.
Mine too. but only because I will never, EVER vote for a Republican again. I’ll vote for a German Shepard first.

What? You think we ought to be sticking up for him?
Don’t you realize you’re reinforcing the stereotype that Republicans have an excessive tolerance for sexual misconduct?
Shorter Wingnuts:
HA HA THIS PROVES THAT REPUBLICANS ARE INNOCENT OF EVERYTHING EVER
That’s a stereotype?
“…poor slobs who sent $25 bucks to Obama…”
So people who send a $25 donation to Obama’s campaign are “poor slobs”? Stay classy, rightists.
