ABC News blog, The Blotter, reports that the California Republican Party may have broken the law when it hired Christopher Matthews as Deputy Political Director. Matthews is a Canadian national working under an immigrant work visa.
The Federal Election Campaign Act [PDF] prohibits any involvement, direct or indirect, of foreign nationals “with campaign finances and decision-making powers in a political committee.”
Immigrants doing a job Americans don’t want: running the Republican Party.
Thursday morning, Ann Coulter was on Joe Scarborough’s MSNBC morning show and she was not too pleased with the ire she has drawn following her numerous confrontations with former Senator John Edwards (D-North Carolina).
Incidentally, the Coulter column she plugged here as “one of the greatest columns ever written” is the one where she suggested that John Edwards was politically exploiting his own son’s death and using it like a “bumper sticker.”
AMERICAblog’s John Aravosis also weighed in on Ann Coulter’s “Can Dish It But Can’t Take It” Problem.
She walks around calling people “fags,” mocking their dead children, wishing that they were murdered, then when people respond by saying “uh, you’re kind of mean,” Ann flips out over the level of venom that’s directed against her.
Eric Kleefield picked up on a recent FOX News/Opinion Dynamics poll that asks respondents which party they would prefer in charge during a Third World War scenario against “radical Muslim groups” worldwide.
According to the poll, Republicans trail by the margin of error — three points, 41 to 38.
The conventional wisdom that is still propelgated from newsrooms all across this nation is that the Republican Party is the “national security party,” despite numerous polls leadingup to and following the 2006 midterm elections.
Ten years ago, heavyweights Mike Tyson and Evander Holyfield met in a rematch from their November 9, 1996 fight that ended in an upset with Holyfield as the victor. The rematch ended in one of the most bizarre occurrences in professional boxing history.
Tyson was disqualified for twice biting Holyfield’s ear after the end of the third round with a near riot nearly occurring in the ring. As a result of Tyson’s behavior, the Nevada State Athletic Commission revoked his boxing license and fined him over $3 million. The ban was short-lived as Tyson’s boxing license was restored in October 1998.
The night of the fight, my family drove out from Danville to Castro Valley to watch at my aunt and uncle’s house live on pay-per-view and remember the night quite vividly: the food, the dim house lighting, the shock everyone in the room expressed at Tyson’s actions. I remember my aunt pointing out the fact that after the first bite, Tyson licked his lips that were covered in beads of Holyfield’s blood.
