Who is the Senate's Jim Leach?
As much as I appreciate Joe Conason's plug the other day, there is one person I disagree strongly with him over and that is Jim Leach. In 1998 Leach brought down Gingrich by refusing to vote for him as Speaker. This would mean that Leach and some of his allies would abstain or vote for Bob Michels. In doing so, they would have thrown the plurality to Dick Gephardt.
Is there a Jim Leach amongst the Senate Republicans? You'd think Chafee would refuse to vote for Lott or Nickles. Does he have a backbone? Probably not, he is a bit of a flake. What about Susan Collins? Hagel? Lugar? Warner? Snowe?
I guess I still think Lott has a shot unless someone pulls a Leach. As I have mentioned before the Senate is a chummy place and taking out a leader is pretty tough.

POSTSCRIPT: As long as we're on the subject, my all-time most detested writing advice is: write the way you talk. Have you ever read a transcript of an impromptu discussion? It's practically unreadable, sort of like a Steven Den Beste essay. So whatever else you do, please don't write the way you talk. Write better than you talk.

Ashcroft's Revisionist History
No not in the Southern Partisan, but in the history of his own campaigns.
Via Calpundit on Larry King Live tonight (no transcript yet):
"Can I call you John?" Sure, no problem. "Any comment on the Trent Lott situation?" Not really. You know, in Missouri we integrated pretty easily after the court decision.
Lest we forget this September 7, 1990 gem from the Post-Dispatch:
As attorney general and governor, Ashcroft has complained about the costs of desegregation programs in St. Louis and Kansas City and called them ''educationally counterproductive and bankrupt.''
For those with any doubt, Ashcroft rode the wave of resentment in rural Missourah and South Saint Louis over the outrage of providing equal resources for the urban districts. This is a bipartisan sport with current AG Jeremiah Jay Nixon doing the same later. However, Ashcroft had been a particularly strong advocate against court ordered desegregation efforts.

What Lott Really Meant
The Good Dr. Luntz just pronounced that what Lott meant when he said a Thurmond Presidency would have avoided all these problems was that Bill Clinton and his loose moral standards wouldn't have occurred. We could have avoided them with a Thurmond Presidency. IOW, Bill Clinton's genitalia wouldn't have become the cause of every modern problem.
The problem is that Strom was so randy, he'd put Bill to shame. Besides marrying very young women, he also is reported to have slept with a woman on the way to her execution. His behavior as a younger man was well known. If Bill Clinton's moral failings were a problem, imagine if we'd had a segregationist serial adulterer as President. So the Good Dr. Luntz seems to have a Polisci degree without knowing any history.
Update:
From the transcript:
MATTHEWS: ... because you?re an analyst of public opinion. We?re going to have a poll in a few moments about what?s going on here. He was asked by Ed Gordon, a very effective, I thought, interviewer tonight on Black Entertainment Television. What problems were you talking about when you said we wouldn?t have them if we?d voted for a segregationist back in ?48. What do you believe he thinks those problems are that we?ve avoided or that we?ve incurred because we didn?t vote racist back in ?48?
LUNTZ: It has to do with problems that we?ve had over the last eight or nine years. I don?t want to speak...
MATTHEWS: He said we wouldn?t have these problems if we had voted for Strom Thurmond in ?48 for president, a segregationist who ran against Harry Truman. What is he talking about there?
LUNTZ: I think that some of the issues that he?s talking about, quite frankly, and I don?t know if he would agree or disagree, but I think some of it has to do with Bill Clinton and the things that happened in the 1990s, the moral decay of the country. The acceptance of certain types of behavior. If...
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: (UNINTELLIGIBLE) come on.
LUNTZ: ... you-if you...
So there you have it, voting for a man who had probably slept with a death row inmate, would have solved the problem of Bill Clinton's genitalia.

Mike Royko Memorial Award
Today goes to Best of the Web:
Now, what's "white" about names like Laurie and Jill? Wouldn't a fair comparison have included some odd-sounding white names, like Dweezil or Moon Unit? And if employers discriminate against people with "black" names, how come Latonyas and Latoyas were more likely to get called back than Emilys were?
Let's see
Kenya vs. Moon Unit. Raise your hand if you can see a difference. Thousands of Horseshacks are beating out Taranto here.
One should ask oneself why a name other than Fucknuts Dipshit should matter in who gets a call back. What reason besides race accounts for the difference?
Mike Royko wrote a rather stupid column years ago that made the same argument. He was then hit on the head and reminded of folks from the neighborhood named Stanislav. Perhaps they don't have people with 'weird' names where Taranto's upbringing occurred.

Via Eschaton: Federal flood insurance is going on hiatus. It would be nice if it just went away
Via Eschaton:
Federal flood insurance is going on hiatus. It would be nice if it just went away. The program subsidizes insurance so flood prone areas can develop. The question no one besides Steve Chapman (no longer available) seems to want to ask is why do we want areas that are prone to floods to develop? Let people pay for their own insurance and flood prone areas will see far less development--a good thing for those who value wetlands and don't value subsidizing sprawl.

Ashcroft, Talent, Bond and the Cof CC
Conason starts the next crusade. It is interesting to watch a meme get started without any blast faxes. Tells you a lot about how the press in general works, doesn't it?
He reports that Ashcroft had relations with a guy named Thomas Bugel, a former member of the St. Louis School Board, and a member of the CofCC.
By now, you are asking what the hell goes on in St. Louis. And you should. Given Tom Spencer has written a book much of which is about racial politics in St. Louis he might have some good stuff to report here.
Bugel, Earl P. Holt III, Louis Fister, and Shirley Kiel were white supremacists who ran in the 1989 School Board Election and won with stealth candidacies. They officially called themselves "members of the Metro South Citizens Council, a group that says it promotes ''racial integrity'' and the interests of white citizens." (P-D March 29, 1991).
They often used the euphemism that they were anti-busing, but busing was only the most vocal issue they liked to talk about. Scratch beneath the surface, and they were and are simply racists.
Civic Progress took over the 1993 election and decided they had enough. They ran a slate and swept out the CofCC faction. For Ashcroft to not know what these clowns were about would be impossible. They had been a prominent story in the one of the two major state papers.
Even stranger though, is this tidbit from the P-D on January 21, 2000:
A group of St. Louisans is pushing for a federal investigation into the treatment of a prisoner at the U.S. medical center in Springfield, Mo.
The group, led by former St. Louis School Board member Thomas Bugel, is asking area lawmakers for their "immediate assistance in ending the torture of Dr. Charles T. Sell." The group has gathered 1,000 signatures on petitions seeking congressional help. On Thursday, Bugel and Mark Sell, the inmate's brother, met with Rep. Jim Talent, R-Chesterfield, whose district includes Sell's home address. Bugel also gave copies of the petition to one of Sen. Christopher "Kit" Bond's assistants.
Talent's office released a statement saying, "It's clear Dr. Sell's situation has the support of many in the community. These are serious charges and my office will review them closely and take appropriate action."
Patrick Werner, district office director for Sen. Bond's office in Clayton, said the staff will make a formal request for information about Sell's case and review it for possible action.
"support of many in the community"
Yeah, I suppose so Jim.
To be fair, Gephardt and Gene McNary also visited with the organization in the 1980s before they were as well known. Both have publicly blasted the organization since.
Oops: All but Holt ran in '87 and finished their term in '91. Holt was in office from '89-93. Fact checking my own ass.
Oops 2: First, some grammar was fixed above. Second, the School Board Members except Holt served from '87-'93. Holt did serve from '89-'93. The reason for my confusion is that before the passage of Senate Bill 781 in 1998, terms for the SLPS Board were six years. SB 781 changed that to four years. I do not know the reason why Holt served for only four. My apologies for the confusion. Not surprisingly, on this matter no one had yet contacted me. Finally, the slate technically refused to run when they were targeted by Civic Progess, an uber-Chamber of Commerce in the Saint Louis region, claiming the vote was rigged.

IL School Funding Crisis
Usually I refer to the problems in funding Illinois Schools as largely a rural problem. In fact, it is a broader problem with many suburban areas outside of the wealthy north or growing west experiencing the same issues. Phil Kadner does a good job in describing the political problems of any solution and the paralysis gripping southwest suburban officials.

Mosely-Braun Takedown
Carol Marin is one of the more respected, if not heavily watched, news people in Chicago and she sets out the case against Carol Mosely-Braun.
Some choice graphs:
One example. Before freshmen senators go to work in Washington, there is an orientation program to help them learn the lay of the land. You skipped it. Rather than roll up your sleeves right away and show you were both symbol and substance, you hopped a flight to Nigeria and paid your respects to the dictator of the most populous country in Africa, Gen. Sani Abacha. Despite Abacha's hideous record on human rights, including the assassination of his enemies, you remained a periodic visitor to the country and you were the lone member of the Senate and the lone member of the Congressional Black Caucus who opposed sanctions against that repressive regime.
Then there was the campaign finance mess. The Criminal Investigation Division of the Internal Revenue Service argued that you and your campaign manager and then-fiance, Kgosie Matthews, spent as much as $270,000 of campaign donations on Armani outfits, jewelry, Jeeps and vacations. Three times IRS investigators tried to impanel a grand jury. But the Justice Department did something experts say it virtually never does in this type of case. Citing "insufficient evidence," it refused to grant the IRS the subpoena power it requested in order to gather the evidence. You dismissed the whole thing as a witch hunt.
That's all in the past, of course. So what about today? Two words: Bill Shaw. Voters only have to look at this most recent election to scratch their heads and ask, "What were you thinking?" OK, as President Bill Clinton's ambassador to New Zealand, you'd been away for awhile. But why would you choose the Nov. 5 election to mark your re-entry to Chicago politics with radio and newspaper ads supporting Bill Shaw, of the politically notorious Shaw brothers, over Rev. James Meeks for a seat in the Illinois Senate? This is progressive politics?
Adding to this fine column, let's not forget when she left her position in Cook County she fired the entire staff on one of the last days and replaced them with political hacks. This was gratuitous even by Chicago Standards.
And the best example of poor policy and strategy analysis was getting the Trib company a big tax break. Why a giant corporation needed it is unclear other than someone was trying to curry favor with the editorial board. But that didn't work. The Trib blasted her for it.
She is another example of everything I hate about the Republican Party. I'll post more on this later.

Dennis Byrne spews his usual column light on substance, heavy on aspersions. In it, he makes a point of backing Everett Dirksen for his support of the Civil Rights Act. Then he trashes the elites for trying to take out Fitzgerald. Has it occurred to him that Dirksen was actually the kind of character he is complaining about?

CoCC Radio
Alas, my hopes were dashed. Primarly Gordon Lee Baum and Earl Holt III were relegated to whining about how Lott isn't nearly as conservative as a people think. Though Baum did mention that he had visited Lott's office before he was majority leader. Apparently Baum made an appearance of Fox News last night...did anyone catch that? Otherwise, an unpleasant evening of race-baiting.
The South St. Louis accent is too much on that clown. But he has the nerve to whine about African-American speech. I'll be linking to the photos of the CofCC protests at some point this week. If you want evidence of lead poisoning....

A Nickles for your thoughts
I don't believe it is a coincidence that Don Nickles' name is so easy to confuse with Don Rickles. I believe it is a sign from God to the Republican Party to choose Bill Frist whether Bill Frist likes it or not.
As a Democrat, let me wholeheartedly endorse Don Nickles. I don't believe there could be two better party leaders than Nickles and Delay for the 2004 election for Democrats to run against. Nickles is a conservative twit who happens to be the leftist in a the bizzarro world of the Oklahoma Senate Delegation. While he might be smart enough (editor: errr...slipped there I guess, add 'not') to endorse segregation and the CofCC, he is certainly enough of a wingnut to push through a whole wad of policies assured of pissing off suburban white women.
My prediction, is Lott stays. Frist doesn't want it and the rest of the Senate Republican Caucus knows Nickles' tin ear is as bad as Lott's. Cochran would be the natural candidate, but it is unlikely he wants to take another charge at a Senator from his home state, no matter how much he hates the guy.

Instant Iowa Analysis
With Gore out, Iowa's organization people probably go to Gephardt. He is incredibly popular there, has a strong ground operation and did I mention labor loves the guy.
Gephardt probably just locked up 30-35% of the caucus vote with Gore's announcement. Labor is important in the caucus and the only thing that could counteract that is if Harkin starts pulling the strings for someone else, but I don't see that happening. Harkin is a creature of labor and he and Gephardt are close ideologically and a natural fit. The only other person with a shot at much of the labor vote is Daschle. Even then Gephardt has effectively been on the ground since 1988 and should garner much of that support.
My current prediction is Dean in second as the quirky intellectual candidate that wins the liberal arts college towns and the strange prairie intellectual populist vote that is far more important in Iowa than people think. With those two in the prime position, the next key is who can get to Vilsack. If Gephardt does it becomes a race to beat Dean in second place. If Edwards does it becomes a three way tie with Kerry and Lieberman opting to compete in New Hampshire. Kerry and Lieberman aren't going to do anything in Iowa. Kerry simply doesn't fit the state that isn't into haughty. Lieberman doesn't have a natural constituency.
In the end, Iowa's primary importance will be whether Howard Dean can ride it to a strong second place and carry that momentum to New Hampshire where a strong second place to Kerry puts, ummmm...straight money, into the coffers and makes him competitive for the nomination. Look at a dog fight elsewhere between him, Lieberman and Gephardt. Edwards is possible, but he has to get a message that works and he is crowded out of the first two states. People working on a strategy are hoping for a Vilsack endorsement and lots and lots of legwork.

no more Goring
Al takes one for the team. Thank goodness. Having known several people involved in Iowa and New Hampshire during the last cycle, I've been a bit puzzled at the notion that Al Gore is a good guy and that he should win the nomination. Al Gore is everything I hate about the Republican Party.
To digress for one moment, the man ran one of the worst campaigns I've ever seen. We can wring our hands over the press and how much they hate him, but ultimately that is because he is a loathesome fellow. The campaign was a mish mash of ideas that avoided the key principles of the Democratic Party and seemed to forget that the last 8 years had been pretty damn good.
However, back to the loathesome character, Al Gore. Gore played hardball with Bradley in Iowa and New Hampshire in a manner Shrub would have been happy to have done. In Iowa, his minions sent out labor to disrupt Bradley campaign events. If it weren't for how human of a person Bradley was this could have been a disaster. Instead of getting upset, Bradley rolled with it. At one event, a bunch of union guys stood along the aisles making it hard to get through for supporters. Bradley went up to every one of them held out his hand, told them he was Bill Bradley and he wanted their vote. Every one of them shook his hand and most had a story about how he was their hero back when he played for the Knicks (a character flaw of Bradley's I overlook). Gore's people ignored having anything to do with this garbage, but is one to really believe that?
In other instances they had guys follow Bradley around to every event. Finally the political director broke and swore at the clown and the NY Times picked up the story. The Political Director was fired, but the press ignored the ties to Gore.
The most despicable act came when Bradley had a surrogate in New Hampshire. Bob Kerrey was speaking when he started getting heckled with shouts of "cripple". Gore's people made sure they weren't directly tied to the garbage, but who else sent out those people?
Gore would have been better than the current twit occupying the oval office and I would have voted for him again if he had won the nomination. However, his bowing out should be cause for celebration amongst those of us who believe our party should be a party of principles and not cheap knock offs of Republican Dirty Tricks campaigns. Al Gore is a political hack who forgot what was important. I won't miss him in the least. Now back to the right wings discussion of Clinton's genitalia.
But wasn't that Lott skit sweet?

Who am I, Why am I here?
Traffic here has upticked lately so I thought I'd do a quick post describing the site. The primary blog is Archpundit. There, I cover national, international, and state politics, especially Illinois. Additionally, I hope to blog more frequently on welfare, the environment and education policy. I also have a weakness for wingnuts similar to Scoobie Davis' enjoyment of Jack Chick. This interest has suffered with my wife's growing concern that either I will fall prey to Trinity Broadcasting Network and Jack Van Impe or our children will.
I have a second blog that I write that concerns itself exclusively with the Saint Louis region and Missouri that I have named Blog Saint Louis (link to the opposite site at the top of the blogroll). Blog Saint Louis is heavy on local politics and I have separated the two. First, many of the people I know who read Blog Saint Louis aren't terribly interested in my views on national politics, at least on a daily basis. Second, many intereted in this blog aren't interested in the minutia of Sa
int Louis politics. From time to time I do double post to both sites.
What are my views? I'm a liberal, though not always a predictable one. I also hate cliches unless I write them. I believe government can have an important role in providing opportunities to all. This is certainly true of my life in which I have benefited from free public education and access to a small liberal arts college largely available to me because of federal assistance. I'm also a strong advocate of using markets to make government intervention as efficient as possible.
Now, who the hell am I? Well, I blog anonymously for a couple reasons. One, it allows me plausible deniability at work. Anyone who reads these blogs from Saint Louis can probably figure out who I am pretty quickly, so let's not confirm my employer's suspicions. Second, my work does involve working on some projects related to local St. Louis politics and by blogging anonymously I don't have to concern myself with whether a project will be endangered by a snarky comment.
A bunch of people have requested specific topics and I'm hoping to oblige in the next couple weeks. For the next week I hope to spend some time discussing the 2004 Illinois Senate Race and go into some detail of the challengers. Work is heavy, so there will be some erratic posting, but keep checking in. In addition to that topic, I hope to return to some big picture issues the 2002 elections raise.
On a final note, those of you sick of Blogger and Blogspot, consider Blogstudio. For only $15/yr you receive more functions and far fewer down times. It is available free as well minus a couple features like comments and RSS feed (feel free to access mine for other sites if you so wish--Blog Saint Louis is on stlouist.com). Stats are apparently coming. After starting with Blogger I have found Blogstudio to be a huge improvement and quite easy to use if you want a simple web interface. It also works better with Mozilla and Netscape.
Oh, and feel free to correct my spelling. After getting Blagojevich correct most of my time blogging I was notified I was spelling Hynes incorrectly. I'm fully capable of being an idiot.

Site Update
I've updated the blogroll adding and moving several blogs. For this post refer to the blogroll for links.
Of note is a relatively new blog by Nathan Bierma. He is a writer for the Chicago Tribune and resides in my favorite city. I'm not sure if he is a Cubs, fan, but two out of three at least is a decent start.
Ted Barlow moves back up to favorite reads with his return and Charles Kuffner joins him. If you think I'd be interested in your blog and should include it shoot me a note. Assuming you aren't Gordon Baum or Earl Holt and don't believe in strange conspiracy theories, I'll probably add you. As far as 'my policy', I link to people I read and I think are interesting. In a couple cases I don't find people interesting, but they are referenced enough, that I feel the need to include them. The ordering is generally how I'm reading people at the time. IOW, more than anything, my blogroll is an organizational tool for me.
Some high quality blogs aren't in my favorite reads because they tend not to post several times a day or it takes a bit of digesting when I do read them. Perfect examples of this include William Burton and the Bloviator. I consider them excellent reads, but on average William posts about once a day and so once a day does it. Ross at the Bloviator posts incredible posts on a topic I know little about and so I read it once a day when I can take the time to digest the posts.
I also want to thank those who have added me to their blogroll recently including:
Bloviator
Talk Left
Rittenhouse Review
Cooped Up
Off the Kuff
Max Speak
Two Tears in a Bucket
Smythe's World
David Hogberg (only dropped down due to the hiatus, write and come back to us)
Thoughts on the Eve of the Apocalypse
I hope I haven't missed anyone.
And of course those who linked earlier in the life of this blog.
Oh, and the best new blog name: The Bitter Shack of Resentment.
