Running for President of the United States is really one series of humiliations after another, but it’s also a very educational experience.
I know where John Wayne was born.
I know the day Elvis Presley was born.
Thirdly, I learned never forget the three things that you learn.

CNN suspends Martin; not Loesch, Erickson - Politico
With its decision to suspend political contributor Roland Martin today for controversial statements he made on Twitter, CNN seems to have suggested that controversial comments made recently by other contributors — namely Dana Loesch and Erick Erickson — do not warrant the same punishment. On her radio show, Loesch championed U.S. Marines for urinating on dead Taliban soldiers and said that she would “drop trou” and do it too. On his radio show, Erickson championed the tasing of an Occupy D.C. protestor and said, “watching a hippie protester get tased just makes my day.” On Twitter, Martin seemed to champion violence against gay men, writing, ”If a dude at your Super Bowl party is hyped about David Beckham’s H&M underwear ad, smack the ish out of him! #superbowl.” (Click above link for more)

Sixty-five percent of liberal Democrats told the researchers that they’d had one-night stands as opposed to 49 percent of Republicans. However, while Dems didn’t seem to take issue with one-time sexual encounters, a large proportion of Republicans were against them completely.
Among other sexual no-no’s of the right-wing the survey found include sex before marriage, friends with benefits and having sex on the first date.Match.com Single In America Study: 11 Secrets Of Singles’ Sex, Dating And Politics

“There was a lot riding on that particular race in Nevada and it was interesting, because the numbers were much, much greater than you thought,” Trump said during an interview on Fox News. “And a lot of people are giving me credit for that. And I will accept that credit.”
McCarthy’s detailed résumé, posted on the Web site of his advertising company, omits his most notorious creation—the Willie Horton ad. Paid for by a political group officially acting separately from the campaign of George H. W. Bush, it was the political equivalent of an improvised explosive device, demolishing the electoral hopes of Dukakis, then the governor of Massachusetts. Its key image was a mug shot of Horton—a scowling black man with a dishevelled Afro. Horton, a convicted murderer, had escaped while on a weekend pass issued by a Massachusetts furlough program. A decade earlier, Dukakis had vetoed a bill that would have forbidden furloughs for murderers. After escaping, Horton raped a white woman and stabbed her fiancé. McCarthy knew that showing Horton’s menacing face would make voters feel viscerally that Dukakis was soft on crime. Critics said that the ad stoked racial fears, presenting a little-known black man as an icon of American violence.
