Did Governor Brewer even know what her “biography” said about the meeting with the President in 2010?

Per WaPo Politics: “He didn’t feel that I had treated him cordially” in the book, Brewer explained to reporters Wednesday. “I said to him that I have all the respect in the world for the office of the president. The book is what the book is. I asked him if he read the book. He [...]

Newt’s primary win shows that GOP “family values” are largely illusory

They have this idea that people should be left alone, be able to do whatever they want to do, government should keep our taxes down and keep our regulations low, that we shouldn’t get involved in the bedroom, we shouldn’t get involved in cultural issues.

A week ago, I awoke to a passionate e-mail from a public official who was circulating a petition addressed to the Pima County Republican Party about its recent gun auction. Once [...]

Brewer book co-writer: “Single Women as a Threat to Freedom”

EDIT: Oops, sorry, the book is called Scorpions for Breakfast. Howie Fischer reported that Governor Brewer claimed that President Obama’s recent moves on immigration may cause a delay in the completion of her much-awaited memoir, Breakfast with Scorpions. Hagiography writin’ and governorin’ are hard, as it turns out. What caught my eye about Howie’s piece [...]
