MUTH’S TRUTHS
Stinkin’, rotten, lousy, no-good public school education.
My bad. I wrongly took Rory Reid to task yesterday for using “principal” instead of “principle” in his gubernatorial campaign manifesto. But as uber-pundit Jon Ralston pointed out to me in an email, Rory was right and I was wrong.
Enjoy that last sentence while you can. It’s not something you’ll see or hear very often.
Now pardon me while I finish wiping this egg off my face.

FAMOUS LAST WORDS
“I think that (Sen. John Ensign’s) troubles have damaged the party. They’ve damaged Nevada. They’ve damaged him and they’ve damaged his home and family,” Angle said. “If your spouse cannot trust you, how can your constituents trust you? There is an issue here when it comes to the fidelity of the vows that you take.” – U.S. Senate candidate Sharron Angle
