Arizona’s GOP delegation shows its contempt for rape victims yet again
H/T to commenter Todd for linking me to this. What is it with them? This past Wednesday the House of Representatives passed a bill that would enable authorities on Indian reservations to better coordinate with the Feds to prosecute non-native rape suspects and provide assistance to rape victims.

Pobrecito, Buz Mills.
It’s safe to say that Buz Mills destroyed his chances at winning the GOP primary with his embarrassing performance on Sunday Square Off.
