So What The Hell DID Neville Chamberlain Do?


LOL! This is great:

“He’s an appeaser Chris! Stop asking me hard questions and let me parrot my talking points! Shit!”

Earlier we gave you the classic Bill O’Reilly meltdown. Tonight, we give you THE REMIX!

Potty mouth conservative.

OK. So What Did I Miss?


LOL. Just kidding. What a damned day to be out of pocket blogging!

PeeDee: AG out to lunch as investigators descend


Headline of the week!
About a dozen investigators from the Ohio inspector general’s office showed up at Attorney General’s Marc Dann’s office in the Rhodes Tower in Columbus to begin an independent investigation.
They have already confiscated computer equipment, and State Highway Patrol officers are on the ground floor of the tower checking people’s badges and […]

Classic O’Reilly meltdown:

Breaking: Ted Says No Deal


I’m hearing Ted just signed the bill to allow the IG to move forward with a special investigation of the AG’s office immediately.
So Ted says no dice.
Next…

Dann Attempting to Dictate Terms of Resignation


It’s now being reported that Marc is backing away from resigning because the legislature won’t commit to not investigating his office fully. They refused this condition and he is now capitulating on resigning. Apparently there is much more to find and Dann could be in more trouble than we know. I hope […]

PlunderPedia: Dann Remorse


Dann Remorse: That feeling you get when you know you were right to oppose a political candidate from the start but gave them the benefit of the doubt because they were on your side and you come to realize how right you were! Similar to the popular phrase “Buyer’s Remorse”.
I’ve been […]

Thanks Marc!

Brunner to get JFK Award


Starved for some good news for statewide Dems after being awash in a sea of DannGate, this is really good to hear about:
The secretary of state will accept a John F. Kennedy Profile in Courage Award in Boston for pushing Ohio away from touch-screen voting machines toward optically scanned paper ballots.
The award, named for Kennedy’s […]

Obama Overtakes Hillary in Super-delegates Too!


Yet another argument gone. The Super delegate gap has been closed and Obama now even leads:
I probably only do this because as I Kentucky native I constantly have to, but I’ve also known very bright people who were not racists that were from West Virginia. Roommate at West Point is one off the […]

The Marc Dann Uproar is NOT About Sex!


Not that it’s the first time I’ve ever disagreed with Brian Rothenberg, but it’s time to do so again. Brian and I are famous for our squaring off over a dinner with Barack Obama. We even had a few roundabouts in the office when I worked at ProgressOhio.
So here we go […]

Speaking of Pastor Problems…


Seeing how we are (or soon will be) moving on to general election concerns related to the Presidential race, I thought this might be appropriate.
-
I’m not really thinking the GOP wants to go hog wild playing the pastor card. Unless of course, it’s not about what the pastor says, but about the […]

Hillary Clinton: Black and White Vision of America


Can we get this over with already:

Hillary Dismisses Michigan Delegate Plan


Hillary dismisses the Michigan delegate plan agreed to by state leaders. Surprised? Nah:
Camp Hillary is rejecting the new plan floated today by Michigan Dems that would seat the delegation by awarding 69 delegates to Hillary and 59 to Obama.
I thought giving her ten points in a race where Obama wasn’t even on the […]

Eric

Eric Vessels is the founder of Plunderbund. He started this site in October of 2005, following closely the Paul Hackett firestorm. This was the impetus to continue to blog in a manner that caused serious heartburn to both Republican and screwed up Democrat alike. Eric is famous for his surprise phone call to gay-baiting Democrat Bill Ritter in a primary bid for the Ohio House. Almost fittingly so, he is almost more famous for once having danced on a barstool. In September of 2006 - just before sweeping Democrat wins in Ohio - Eric went to work as the Online Director of a progressive non-profit called Progress Ohio. Eric's work was instrumental in a successful launch. Progress Ohio is now a powerful force in Ohio Progressive Politics. He lives with his wife and two kids in a van down by the river.
