Gus Muldoon's Infamous Seldomly-Updated Blog

Anyone who has been following Republican politics this year will tell you that, at times, the race has looked more like The Twilight Zone than actual politics. Here's what the current crop of presidential hopefuls would look like if they were characters from Rod Serling's classic series.

There were only two things worth watching on the boob tube last night: Jon Stewarts's final show as host of The Daily Show and, of course, the first GOP debate on Fox. Those who missed the latter will no doubt have heard by now the "potshot heard around the world", when Trump essentially gave debate host Megyn Kelly the verbal equivalent of the middle finger. And she deserved it. With media outlets speculating that Teflon Don has a serious issue with women because of his pointed response to the Sweetheart of Fox News, lost in their righteous indignation is the very basic fact that Kelly acted like a midget in a boxing match with a pituitary giant-- she punched below the belt. Early in the debate, Kelly questioned Trump about his temperament, pointing out that Trump had called women "slobs," "disgusting animals" and "fat pigs". Trump, being the fair and nice guy that he actually is, replied that he only made those statements in referenc...

Once again it's the eve of another presidential election, and while millions of Americans will cast their votes for Romney or Obama tomorrow, millions of Americans, unimpressed by either candidate, will remain as unmotivated as a tree sloth on trazodone.  Some folks might even be contemplating throwing their vote away altogether by voting for a third party candidate.

This week, Missouri Republican Todd Akin drew ire from liberals and conservatives alike as a result of a comment he made in a recent interview, in which he stated that pregnancy from rape is "really rare".  Akin added: "If it's a legitimate rape, the female body has ways to try to shut that whole thing down."  Naturally, all heck broke loose and many prominent GOPers are calling for Akin to withdraw from the Missouri Senate race.  Even those pesky Tea Baggers are insisting that Akin went too far. Akin's comments have set the Twittersphere afire, arousing the vitriol of every vaginocentric liberal from Maine to Alaska.  Laura Helmuth, of Slate.com , stated that Akin's worldview is "sexist, blame-shifting, and profoundly ignorant".  Gloria Allred called Akin "a national disgrace".  Nicole Belle, the celebrated GOP-bashing femi-Nazi blogger, proclaimed: "WTF???? I really am beginning to feel strongly that men who have not a sing...
