The GOP thought they'd be flyin' high on the boost of Paul Ryan, but instead they find themselves brakin' to avoid the disaster that's Akin. Just when they thought we'd get misty at the excitement of keynote Chris Christie, their convention plans all started quakin' as they try to shake free of Todd Akin.

There will be no disruption to our regular programming.” Mr. Wiseman than excused himself to attend the “Olbermann Pre-Emptive Legal Defense Fund” bake sale in the C-Span commissary. Read more
