I’m not sure I understand why poor J.D. Hayworth — who, because he is running in a Republican primary against John “Gramps” McCain, and running from the far-right, to boot, is required to speak at least twice as much nonsense as McCain does — is getting so much flak for warning the nation that [...]
That tireless warrior against deviant sex acts, Rick Santorum, has stepped up once again to save us from the society-unraveling consequences of brainwashed generals:

This commentary, by Josh Marshall, on the result of the New York 23rd congressional district special election, I really don’t get:
