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.

Lamont Surprised at Suit Brought Against PURA

Marissa P. Gillett, the state's chief utility regulator, watches Gov. Ned Lamont field questions about a new approach to regulation in April 2023. Credit: MARK PAZNIOKAS / CTMIRROR.ORG Concerning a suit brought by Eversource and Avangrid, Connecticut’s energy delivery agents, against Connecticut’s Public Utility Regulatory Agency (PURA), Governor Ned Lamont surprised most of the state’s political watchers by affecting surprise.   “Look,” Lamont told a Hartford Courant reporter shortly after the suit was filed, “I think it is incredibly unhelpful,” Lamont said. “Everyone is getting mad at the umpires.   Eversource is not getting everything they want and they are bringing suit. It was a surprise to me. Nobody notified me. I think we have to do a better job of working together.”   Lamont’s claim is far less plausible than the legal claim made by Eversource and Avangrid. The contretemps between Connecticut’s energy distributors and Marissa Gillett , Gov. Ned Lamont’s ...

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."

Maureen Dowd vs Chris Murphy

  Maureen Dowd, a longtime New York Times columnist who never has been over friendly to Donald Trump, was interviewed recently by Bill Maher, and she laid down the law, so to speak, to the Democrat Party.   In the course of a discussion with Maher on the recently released movie Snow White, “New York Times columnist Maureen Dowd declared Democrats are ‘in a coma’ while giving a blunt diagnosis of the party she argued had become off-putting to voters,” Fox News reported.   The Democrats, Dowd said, stopped "paying attention" to the long term political realignment of the working class. "Also,” she added, “they just stopped being any fun. I mean, they made everyone feel that everything they said and did, and every word was wrong, and people don't want to live like that, feeling that everything they do is wrong."   "Do you think we're over that era?" Maher asked.   “No," Dowd answered. "I think Democrats are just in a coma. Th...
