Elizabeth Colbert Busch Vs. Mark Sanford
On Monday Elizabeth Colbert Busch and Mark Sanford faced each other just eight days before the special election in the first district of South Carolina. Everyone was looking to see if Colbert Busch would bring up Sanford’s embarrassing past, and she did – forcefully. “When we talk about fiscal spending and we talk about protecting the taxpayers, it doesn’t mean you take that money we saved and leave the country for a personal purpose.”What’s amusing was Sanford’s repose: “I couldn’t hear what she said. Repeat it. I didn’t hear. I’m sorry.”“Answer the question,” Colbert Busch replied.“What was the question?” Sanford said, smiling. …

Harry Reid: ’severely conservative’ agenda is laughable
Mitt Romney may be promising bipartisanship in his closing argument in the 2012 contest, but one of the Republican presidential nominee’s harshest critics on the other side is calling that pledge “laughable.”Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) — who looks likely to keep his leadership job and would be the top Democrat for a President Romney to deal with — said in a statement Friday that he and the Democratic caucus have already shot down most of the things over which Romney says he could find cross-aisle agreement.”Mitt Romney’s fantasy that Senate Democrats will work with him to pass his ’severely conservative’ agenda is laughable,” said Reid, paraphrasing Romney’s assertion during the …

Column: Binders of women and ignorance
When Mitt Romney was asked at Tuesday’s debate about what he intends to do about the persistent problem of pay inequality between men and women, he coughed up yet another Romneyism, a notorious turn of phrase that manages to both sound strange and capture his glib disdain for the problems of ordinary working Americans.
