Campaigning On "Crap"
Scott Walker's week is quickly nose-diving into another disaster for the governor. Frustrated with his continued absence from important budget decisions, Wisconsin Republicans aren't wavering on their rejection of the governor's "crap budget." Meanwhile, Walker's flagship jobs program, the Wisconsin Economic Development Corporation (WEDC), still can't get taxpayers' money back from the outsourcing company it loaned it to. Already receiving criticism for phoning it in, these latest developments promise to ruin the very reputation Walker is counting on to win.
From the Associated Press:
While Scott Walker's fellow Republicans were grousing about his budget plan and part of his proposal to overhaul higher education, the governor was more than 1,000 miles away, gripping the wheel of the Mt. Washington cruise boat on New Hampshire's Lake Winnipesaukee.
And when lawmakers met Monday night to reach a final deal on other elements of that budget, the likely presidential candidate was in Canada on his fourth international trip in less than five months.

Indecider in Chief: Brutal Headlines Follow Jeb's Iraq War Tiptoe
Given the power of hindsight and what we know today about failed intelligence, Jeb Bush says he STILL would have ordered an invasion of Iraq if he were president in 2003 -- even Ted Cruz knows better than that. After getting battered for that answer to Megyn Kelly, Bush passed on the chance at damage control in a softball interview with Sean Hannity. Instead of cleaning up his mess, he stepped in it.
Any Port in a Storm? Portman Seeks Refuge from Record of Outsourcing American Jobs
If Rob Portman wants to remind us what a patent failure he was as United States Trade Representative under President George W. Bush, he's doing a "heckuva job." Portman is in the fight of political life this election cycle and he's making sure the hardworking men and women of Ohio know that he's on their side by cracking down on currency manipulation. “It is critical that any new trade agreement include effective tools to fight back against a practice that has resulted in the loss of millions of American jobs,” said Portman in a statement. It sure sounds like a reasonable message, if you completely ignore the messenger. Portman simply has no standing to talk about protecting American workers.
Mitch McConnell Joined Kentucky Sports Radio. It Didn't Go Well (AUDIO)
Mitch McConnell has long been ducking Kentucky Sports Radio. They interviewed his opponent in-studio weeks ago, and have since been begging McConnell to offer the same opportunity. But per usual, McConnell was nowhere to be found. Well suddenly, with polls showing McConnell trailing in the political fight of his life, he's eager to have his voice heard. So today, Mitch dialed into the show out of nowhere and told them he wanted to go on the air -- a move of seeming desperation, and one that frustrated host Matt Jones. Mitch came out swinging, and not at his opponent. He came out combative -- for no apparent reason -- toward the Jones and Kentucky Sports Radio, leaving a bad taste in their mouth. If ever there were an indicator that a guy has been in Washington too long, it's that he can't even appear on sports radio without launching immediately into negative attacks. No need to take our word for it -- just listen to this supercut of the station's own analysis:
