Tea Party candidate Rick Scott, whose hospital group paid the largest federal fine in history for defrauding Medicare, has a small but growing lead over Democrat Alex Sink. The averages still call it a toss-up, but the two most recent poll show Scott pulling ahead. Scott is also the founder of the astroturf group, Conservatives For Patient Rights, which pretends …

Sharron Angle thinks insurance companies should be able to refuse coverage for those super-pesky diseases that cost insurers so much money!

Maddow says teabagger loon Carl Paladino’s whackadoodle act is bordering on Joaquin Phoenix-level performance art.

Teabagger loon Carl Paladino got into a heated shouting match with a New York Post reporter yesterday after the reporter demanded to see evidence that Attorney General Andrew Cuomo has been cheating on his wife, as Paladino has begun to claim. Paladino, as we know, has a ten year-old daughter from his own adulterous affair with an employee. After Dicker …

“Joy Behar should be absolutely ashamed of herself for referring to Carl’s daughter as illegimate. She’s a child and does not deserve that kind of treatment from a woman who should know better. That’s catty, it’s pissy and strikes of something that someone would say when suffering from a sudden hot flash. The only person here who’s illegimate is Joy …

The audio is out of sync on this clip, which kinda only makes it better.

According to Tea Party loon Christine O’Donnell’s LinkedIn profile, she attended Oxford, Claremont Graduate, and Fairleigh Dickinson. Only, whoops, not really! Talking Points Memo breaks down the lies: Senate nominee Christine O’Donnell (R-DE) proclaimed on her LinkedIn the University of Oxford under “education,” but it turns out that’s another exaggeration on her resume. The claim is that O’Donnell earned a …

North Carolina nurse Renee Ellmers is anti-gay, anti-health care reform, anti-immigration, anti-abortion and thinks Big Oil should just drill the fuck out of her state’s pristine coastal waters. Oh…and Islam of of the devil. Or something. Renee Ellmers for Congress. (Via – Pam Spaulding)

Teabagger loon Carl Paladino, who opposes same-sex marriage, has a ten year old daughter conceived during an affair with a staffer. And that doesn’t seem likely to hurt him in the election. That may be because Paladino has been open about his daughter, who is now 10, throughout his candidacy. She joined his other children and his wife at his …

Conservative Party candidate Rick Lazio confirmed today that he is dropping out of the New York gubernatorial race, a move that will likely throw a few more percentage points to teabagger whackadoodle Carl “Imprison The Poor” Paladino. Lazio tells The Associated Press that he wants to continue to influence the race and bring a workable job-creation program into a contest …

On our way home from Bear Hill in Central Park today, Dr. Jeff and I noticed the Tea Party flag hanging outside a gajillion dollar Upper East Side townhouse on the block between Park Avenue and Lexington. By chance, the owners were returning home and on the sidewalk right behind me as I took this photo and they scurried inside …

Finally some action from the Cuomo camp. I’ve seen this five times on NYC stations already today.

A new Saran Palin-backed website called “Take Back The Twenty” displays a map of 20 “winnable” Democratic districts with rifle scope cross-hairs laid over them. The site asks readers to “prescribe the solution” to doing away away with those Democrats. In March, when Palin last used the violent imagery of rifle cross-hairs to target Democrats, she was criticized by even …
