Meet the Future of the NY GOP: Marc Molinaro

One of the worst kept secrets is how much the Young Republicans love Marc Molinaro. The joke with my boss and peerless leader Lynn Krogh (Bon Jovi to my Sambora) is that she’s the chair of the Draft Marc Molinaro for (Place Higher Office Here) PAC. Right now I think we have him down for County Executive, though I still like the way Sen. Molinaro sounds…and I don’t mean state senator. We still need someone to run against Kristen Gilligan.

(Type Gillibrand in your Blackberry and it spell checks the name as Gilligan. Who am I to argue with my Smartphone?)

For now, I think he’s busy enough with his current gig as the #2 Republican in the Assembly, plus Gov. Cuomo (who sounds like he’s going to be a great Republican Governor) to take part in his Mandate Relief Redesign Team. But who is Assemblyman Molinaro? Glad you asked…

Sen. Toomey Talks SOTU on Morning Joe – 01/26/11

Brock Lesnar on the WWE Rumours: WTF? LOL!

I haven’t enjoyed a good rumour like this since way back at the turn of the century when I used to write for wrestling websites under the awesomely awesome name “Freakboy.”

It started way back at UFC 121. Brock Lesnar has just lost to Cain Velasquez. WWE superstar The Undertaker, who was watching the fight (he goes to UFC fights regularly), was being interview when Lesnar walked past them. They had words, and the wrestling websites went into overdrive because obviously this meant it was the start of an angle to set up Brock Lesnar vs. The Undertaker at WrestleMania.

The reporter had no idea what was going on and UFC President Dana White said “no” it as many different ways he knew how, but as anyone who had dealt with wrestling sites before…they always know more than you do. Brock Lesnar finally spoke out recently…

SOTU Seating: Tom Coburn is an Evil, Evil RINO!

I’m old school. I like my beer cold, my music loud, and my politics bitterly partisan. I have to be honest though, I honestly don’t know which is sillier: assigned seating at the State of the Union, the outrage over the assigned seating at the State of the Union, or the speech itself.

We’re talking aboot a speech where the President is going to say a lot of nice things, and a half an hour after it’s done no one will remember it. Yes, a Democrat suggested in the wake of the Tuscon Shooting the two parties sit together instead of on opposing sides. The media went into overdrive doing what they do, focusing on the most vapid aspect of an already vapid event.

And our side is…upset because we’re sitting next to Democrats? Seriously? Thankfully, there’s Tom Coburn (who no, I don’t actually think is a RINO) to make sense of it all

Michael Grimm really sells himself.  I say by 2012 he’s the face of the NY GOP Congressional delegation.  ‘Nuff said.
