Animal House Politics

Good Lord: Do we have a bunch of children running these campaigns? The state Republican Party has launched this silly anti-Musgrove Web site, registered to the state College Republicans at 415 Yazoo Street. (The site doesn't contain any links; only quotes lifted from longer media stories.) If these boys aren't careful, they're going to convince me to vote for Musgrove, yet, even in the wake of that "10 Commandments" mess.

A Mississippi College student has apparently posted BarbaraBlackmon.com, a clever and deceptive (yeah, right) ploy to fool us idiot Mississippians into reading the site thinking it was actually hers. Lord. I haven't found evidence that the GOP is formally behind this work of staggering genuis, though.

WashingtonFatCat.com has long since come down. That was Mitch Tyner's (and his backers'; you know who you were; wink, wink) effort to expose Haley Barbour's shady past in Washington. To its credit, it did have links to interesting material. Now, it contains an endorsement by Tyner of Barbour. Wink, wink.

Is there any wonder voter turnout is so low? Of course, that reality directly benefits the GOP, so maybe they are smarter than us all.
