There’s a vast difference between arguing fine points of the Chicago Manual of Style on one hand and basic grammar, punctuation, and spelling mistakes on the other. There are examples of the latter three virtually every day at TPM.

I think we can chalk that one up to “the Komen Curse.” Handel pissed off a lot of people with her actions at Komen, and who says some of them weren’t GA GOPhers?

I’m heartbroken that Broun is out of the picture. I was looking forward to hearing more from the brain that regards the science of embryology as a lie “straight from the pit of Hell.”

Paul Broun hunts animals in his office? (Is there an editor in the house?)
These guys can still have an “Akin” moment. Give it time.

Instead of an Astroturf (artificial grassroots) movement, I prefer to describe the tea party as all fertilizer, no weed barrier.

Dems can certainly take advantage of the rift that still exists by reminding the Tea Mob mercilessly that they are going to the polls to elect RINOs.
They need to come up with a rhinoceros cartoon with the RINO wearing a business suit, smoking a cigar and palling around with other Rinos, slapping each other on the back and congratulating one another for successfully “fooling the rubes in the Republican Party ONE MORE TIME!!!”.
Give those cartoon RINO big pinky rings. And pockets full of cash.

Never could figure out why he didn’t form an “Akin for Women” PAC.
This is an example of shallow "journalism.’
There never has been a difference between the Tea Party and the GOP.

Nice selective editing to make it seem like Perdue made both statements, which of course he did not. Rep Kingston, his runoff opponent, made the statement about students working to pay for their free school lunch.
The comment that proceeded Perdue’s was: “gaining national attention for his ads depicting his fellow GOPers as crying babies. Perdue later tussled.”
Mosquitoes. Nothing more dangerous than a wounded mosquito.
Those must have been some size pajama’s!
Christ, this is getting so obnoxious. When a TPM reporter makes a mistake, why don’t you try emailing them or tweeting to them? Publicly pointing out spelling and grammatical errors is incredibly rude. It’s as though some folks read the articles in order to find and point out errors as condescendingly as possible.
Most excellent. You must be a fan of Minnie’s boys.
Maybe TPM could just add another button to choose from for poor grammar, like the like button : )

Extra-stretchy waistband?
Unapologetic Marxist here.
Hey, Paul! How’s the weather down there in the Pit of Hell?
C’mon, you know…grifters gotta grift!
I wouldn’t waste my time doing that – this isn’t Huffington Post, we read the post then comment {as I presume you did} at TPM.
