Senate candidate Mark Kirk was asked today what he was doing in the House to bolster his bona fides for the race. His response:
"Well I was working on a Republican alternative to everything Obama is doing but... some wittle buddy got hungry here. Didn't you? Yes you did. Yes you did."

In order to appeal to the family values voters of the GOP base Congressman Kirk announces he's getting remarried.
This is probably going to get me banned. Or maybe the ASPCA will track me down.

I can't remember who said it and I am likely paraphrasing it - "if you want to have a friend in Washington you had better bring a dog".
For my part I can only hope to ever get close to being as wonderful as my dog thinks I am.
I wonder if Kirk is condescending towards dogs as much as he is accused of being to people?
Do you get as many points kissing a dog as kissing a baby?

Kirk: cares more about the dog's health care than people.
(OK, so that's lame, but given his seeming willingness to demagogue over health care like the rest of the fools in his party (so much for Moderate Mark) its an appropriate characterization.)
