Todd Akin's mind stuck in pre-enlightened era
"Ladylike?" It is a telling choice of word. Hearing it used unironically, as would-be Missouri senator Todd Akin did last week, one almost feels as if Amelia Earhart never flew a plane and Sally Ride never rode a space shuttle. As if Madame C.J. Walker...

The GOP's environmental disaster
By the time he died last month, Russell Train was largely forgotten.

McMahon Pummeling Murphy With WWE Wealth
The Hartford CourantTo this point, the steel cage U.S. Senate match between Chris (Middle Class) Murphy and Linda (Queen of Means) McMahon has been pretty one-sided. Going into the match, Middle Class was the crowd favorite. He was dedicated, stood up for the little guy...Tags: World Wrestling Entertainment Inc., Sports, Politics, Randy Edsall, Beyonce

McManus: The perils of political punditry
Back in 2011, at the dawn of a long presidential campaign, I established a fine baseline for my credentials as a political prognosticator: I told readers that Mitt Romney's strongest challengers for the Republican nomination would be Texas Gov. Rick Perry...

Campaign of misinformation against Planned Parenthood
![In the ongoing rancor surrounding federal funding of Planned Parenthood, misinformation has a starring role. There have been, of course, predictable gusts of hot air from pundits like Bill O'Reilly, who asserted last month that "nobody's life is affected by Planned Parenthood," and Brian Kilmeade and Steve Doocy of "Fox & Friends," who suggested on April 9 that Planned Parenthood's non-abortion-related services were redundant because you can get your blood pressure checked and get a pap smear or a breast exam at Walgreen's. (Blood pressure, yes; the rest, uh-uh.)](http://www.latimes.com/media/thumbnails/column/2011-04/60879143-13173148.jpg "In the ongoing rancor surrounding federal funding of Planned Parenthood, misinformation has a starring role.

Apparently We Won't Be Getting $6,000 Linda Promised
The Hartford CourantSo I guess we're not going to be getting that $500 a month Linda's been promising in her campaign ads. Brandi from Naugatuck must be devastated. What happened to our money? It's complicated. To come up with the six-grand-a-year figure, Linda's people...Tags: Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Huma Abedin, John McCain, Chuck Norris, Joe Lieberman

Daum: The GOP's Palin hangover
Ann Romney is on the record: She would like to see a woman as her husband's running mate. And so would any number of Republicans who are concerned about their party's standing with female voters. But for all the excitement that the topic stirs up, don't...

Would you buy a used candidate from Karl Rove
No doubt who the big winners were on November 6. Two years ago, he was considered toast. But President Obama scored a decisive victory: winning the popular vote by three and a half million, racking up a 126 margin in the Electoral College, locking up...

GOP doesn't need bigger tent but needs to dump bad apples
Since last week's election, Republicans have been talking at a fever pitch about their big tent, and the obvious need to make that tent bigger in light of the defeat of Mitt Romney and so many others in the GOP. The dialogue is a dramatic departure from...Tags: Republican Party, Rick Santorum, Allen West, MSNBC (tv network), Minority Groups

GOP's biggest problem is itself
"How ya like me now?" -- Barack Obama OK, so Obama didn't really say that but surely, he must have thought it behind a private smile at some point Tuesday night. There are no smiles among the Republicans, however, only a pressing question: Can the GOP...
