Captain DisComfort made it official yesterday, finally announcing that he was stepping down as chairman of the Nevada GOP “due to business and family reasons.” Just as predicted. The real reason, of course, is that the guy was good at only one thing: blowing smoke up everyone’s skirt.

• About ten to fifteen years ago, the word “liberal” was almost like a curse, so the Left made a concerted effort to eliminate using the word in politics and campaigns.
