    Romney to use Feinstein as a natsec club with which to beat Obama at the VFW convention.

    It’s funny. Squint, and you can see where the Obama administration has messed up its national security leak problem to the point where Democratic Senator Dianne Feinstein (up for re-election, by the way) feels the need to criticize said administration for its feckless, juvenile, and callous disregard for proper security and the need to put the country above petty partisan advantage*. Background: Sen. Feinstein was | Read More »

    DSCC inadvertently reveals its 2012 battleground?

    Not that, if they did, they intended to do that, mind you: they were probably just intending to scare their donors into giving them money (link via @MattCover) by screaming about how us awful, awful Republicans are so insistent that you should show have to show a picture ID when you vote.  Well, they’re Democrats.  Screaming about Republicans is what they do – besides, these | Read More »

    Sen. Dianne Feinstein’s (D, CA) Rotten Week.

    By: Moe Lane (Diary)  |  September 16th at 09:30 AM  | 

    These things usually come in threes. First and foremost is the highly embarrassing – and possibly expensive – Kinde Durkee affair. For those not following along with that story: Durkee was a Californian accountant used by numerous Democratic campaigns on the federal, state, and local level. Said campaigns are all now freaking out, because Durkee was just recently arrested on multiple accounts of mail fraud | Read More »

    ‘Regime,’ is it?

    The lack of self-respect in the Obama administration astounds me, sometimes.  From the (probably-now abortive) pushback on the call to shut down repatriating AQ terrorists to Yemen: “I am aware of a lot of people pointing back at the way the transfers were handled under the Bush administration that apparently they have some concerns about that,” said the official, who had not seen the senators’ | Read More »

    Breaking: Senator Feinstein withdraws support for Card Check?

    By: Moe Lane (Diary)  |  June 3rd at 02:40 PM  | 

    This is the claim, at least: A delegation from the Santa Clarita Valley Chamber of Commerce, joined by similar groups from around the country, is in Washington to have meetings to express their opposition to the bill. At around 12:00 eastern time this afternoon, the group met with Senator Diane Feinstein. Feinstein, a major proponent of the Employee Free Choice Act, broke national news when | Read More »

    More games with Electoral results oversight?

    By: Moe Lane (Diary)  |  September 11th at 03:33 PM  | 

    OK, let’s walk through. As you no doubt remember, the Federal Election Commission was deadlocked for six months – just in time for the primaries! – because the Democrats objected to one of its proposed new members being appointed. It eventually got resolved when said member withdrew his name. Well, the GOP can’t win every fight in Congress; we are technically in the minority in | Read More »
