Ben Quayle is the son of former Vice President Dan Quayle and he is running for Congress in Arizona. He has garnered attention recently for a campaign ad declaring Barack Obama “the worst president in history,” but this is so much more awesome–

TheDirty.com (formerly DirtyScottsdale.com) has alleged that Quayle not only helped found the “gossip and satire” site– which abounds with scandalous photos and tongue-in-cheek tales of sexual conquest– but that he also contributed a column.

Quayle allegedly wrote the column under the pseudonym Brock Landers, a reference to a character in “Boogie Nights”–

Well, not really a character in “Boogie Nights.” You see, Mark Wahlberg plays a guy named Eddie Adams who adopts the stage name Dirk Diggler and then stars in a series of low-budget action-porn flicks as Brock Landers. (Wahlberg’s co-star John C. Reilly plays Reed Rothchild, who portrays Brock Landers’s sidekick Chest Rockwell.)

The possibility of Quayle’s involvement with TheDirty.com could very well make him unelectable, but the whole lecherous satirical conceit also makes him very interesting.

UPDATE: I guess I’m a little late to this story. Ben Quayle is denying that he wrote the column.

Perhaps it is a sad commentary on our society that a politician simply speaking common sense is elevated to hero status.  But I’ll take honesty and tough common sense wherever I can get it these days.  It’s certainly not coming from the left.

This video should warm the hearts of Progressives.  Personally it makes me a little sad to see people so defeated and waiting for handouts.  Well, until I remember that being a conservative, I’m incredibly racist and love keeping poor people in their place!  Whereupon I cackle with mad glee at the sweet, delicious pathos!

Now we've got both Tom Hagen and Sonny Corleone on our team.

Veteran actor James Caan let people in on a little secret last week. After 46 successful years among Hollywood’s most outspoken liberal stars, he’s speaking up about breaking the mold.

“I’m an ultra conservative,” he said at Moet & Chandon’s 6th Annual Hollyshorts Film Festival Opening Night Celebration in Los Angeles.

“I’m not a G** damn Hollywood liberal, I’m not,” he said, adding he only watches Fox News.

The House gave Charlie Rangel some speaking time on the floor today.  It went a little something like this:  “You disrespectful young punks! And furthermore, when I was kid I didn’t have shoes! We used to respect our elders, dammit.  Then there was this time in 1963 when I couldn’t get ice cream, and goddamit, when’s my nap time?”

Yeah.  He used to chair the committee that creates our tax code.  I’m sure that’s been good for America.  At least these politicians’ egos make for entertaining exits from public life.

I don’t hate Charlie Rangel.  He served in the Army in a war much tougher than mine, and seems like he’s probably a nice man.  But that’s not going to cut it for America anymore.  We need people of true character, accountability and restraint creating the laws of our land.
