Coulter Votes Simmons

Ann Coulter, universally despised by left wing Democrats, became a bit cuddlier when she demanded in one of her columns that Linda McMahon, the Republican nominee for the U.S. Senate go back to wrestling, her spot on the ticket to be taken by Rob Simmons, who stopped campaigning officially after the Republican nomination convention folded its tent.

Coulter has called upon Sarah Palin, whose relationship with the Tea Party Patriot movement remains strong, to rally to Simmons’s side. In Connecticut, part of the movement seems to be drifting in Peter Schiff’s direction. The likelihood of Palin supporting Simmons is remote. But following Coulter’s column, it may now be safe for the Connecticut resident to return to UConn or Canada as a public speaker.

The odd thing is how she reveals herself as a partisan, rather than an idealogue in this instance... Not that Linda McMahon's the poster child for the conservative movement, but Rob Simmons' is about as right wing as Arlen Specter.

Perceptive of you to notice. Coulter lives here, but her understanding of Simmons may be deficient. The remedy for that is to read plenty of Dowd Muska columns. He’s now working for McMahon. I think the left is underestimating her.

The left’s take on the malefactors of great wealth here is interesting, don’t you think? Their distaste for the moneyed class has become little more than a nervous tick since the Democratic Party began to sweep the denizens of Wall Street into their web. In Fairfield County, Democrats outnumber Republicans. And Democrats have for a long while been hauling in more dough from the rich folk they plan to plunder than Republicans. I suppose McMahon is wealthier than Blumenthal, but beyond a certain point it just doesn’t matter. The McMahon’s earned theirs; Blumenthal married his. And it becomes inconvenient to slay McMahon with the money knife if at the same time you deliver a death stab to Blumie. One must tread very carefully here. I’d value your opinion about this.
What is Coulter's problem with Peter Schiff?

TRBA,

She thinks Simmons can more readily defeat Blumenthal. I don't know that she has a problem with Schiff. His primary challenge may be in trouble though. He might not have assembled enough proper signatures on his petitions. That petition drive was poorly organized.

The Blumenthal Burisma Connection

Steve Hilton , a Fox News commentator who over the weekend had connected some Burisma corruption dots, had this to say about Connecticut U.S. Senator Dick Blumenthal’s association with the tangled knot of corruption in Ukraine: “We cross-referenced the Senate co-sponsors of Ed Markey's Ukraine gas bill with the list of Democrats whom Burisma lobbyist, David Leiter, routinely gave money to and found another one -- one of the most sanctimonious of them all, actually -- Sen. Richard Blumenthal."

PCBs, GOOD FOR YOUR HEALTH

By Gerald and Natalie Sirkin c2007 A front-page story on PCBs in the March 9 News-Times is just wrong. The first thing to know about PCBs is that they never killed a single person nor did they ever cause cancer. The second is that although they are invariably called “cancer-causing,” that designation comes chiefly from a single rat study. The third thing is that the subject rats were exposed daily for 21 months to 100 parts per million (ppm) of PCBs containing 60% chlorine. (The 100 ppm was about 5,000 times the tolerable daily intake of PCBs set by FDA in 1973.) When rats were exposed to PCBs containing less chlorine, they developed no cancers. The fourth, that when the exposed rats were allowed to live out their lives, they had fewer cancers and lived longer than the unexposed rats. PCBs is a family of chemicals known as polychlorinated biphenyls. PCBs contain chlorine ranging from 12% to 70%. They were used in two General Electric plants that manufactured electrical equipmen...

Taking The Fifth, After Esty

Whether or not U.S. Representative Elizabeth Esty will serve the remainder of her term or resign immediately is very much an open question. But, in any case, the battle for Connecticut’s 5 th U.S. Congressional District has begun with a show of unexpected fireworks. For many years, the 5 th District was a toss-up proposition; both Republicans and Democrats have held and surrendered the seat. Geographically the 5 th District touches the border of New York from Connecticut’s northern-most point to Danbury in the southern quadrant and includes much of Litchfield county and parts of Fairfield, Hartford and New Haven counties. Party affiliation is competitive, in round figures, 30 percent Democrat, 25 percent Republican and 45 percent unaffiliated. Over the years, the Democrat Party in Connecticut has moved from the center to the left, but the 5 th District has been a moderate preserve. During the Obama presidential election, Republican moderates within Connecticut's U.S. ...
