Calling him a crappy father based on one out-of-context quote is silly. Stick to calling him a crappy governor. There’s plenty of fodder there already.
Reince Priebus wants the Senate Ethics Committee to investigate Harry Reid for illegally using a government website and a government login to attack Republicans. Um, it was twitter.
