Did you ever hear the one about the old Jewish Socialist who walked into the wrong party?

It's been a while since Bernie Sanders has attended the weekly Senate Democratic lunch in the Capitol. 

So long, in fact, he forgot where to go Tuesday and headed -- with his large Secret Service detail in tow -- into the Republican lunch instead. 

He quickly realized his mistake and turned around. When a reporter noted, "wrong room," Sanders replied, "Thank you" as he made his way to the Democratic gathering.

It could happen to anybody. Well not really but I'm trying to be nice.

 In other news it appears that Sander's attempt to hire new interns for his return to the Senate was met with some rather pointed criticisms:
In even other news it appears that Sanders will get that prime time speaking slot at the DNC conventions. Well maybe:

Former President Bill Clinton and Hillary Clinton’s still-to-be-selected running mate are also expected to have prime-time slots. First lady Michelle Obama and Vice President Joe Biden could also make the case for Clinton, and Bernie Sanders is expected to deliver a prime-time speech if he concedes before July 25. 

"If he concedes before July 25."

Oops. 

Well if he cannot bring himself to do the right thing before the 25th, I understand that there is a fart-in that would be thrilled to have his participation.

That's if he can find his way there without getting lost.

Young woman stands up to stump Trump on his attitude toward women. But was she a plant? Maybe.

This exchange received quite a bit of attention from the blogosphere which correctly pointed out that Trump never really addressed the woman's questions and seemed a little condescending.

But as it turns out the young woman's name is Lauren Batchelder and she was once an intern for Kelly Ayotte and is currently an intern for Jeb Bush.

Of course when THAT news came out the Right Wing blew up and is now calling Batchelder a plant by the Bush campaign.

A contention by the way that Trump himself was quick to promote.

Well if Jeb! really was behind this I think he just shot himself in the foot. Probably the same one that he seems to have permanently jammed in his mouth.

Former Mitt Romney intern arrested for trying to use nude photos to blackmail women into sending him more.

Well of course he worked for THIS guy!
Courtesy of Raw Story: 

A former intern for Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney was arrested Tuesday over an alleged sexual extortion scheme.

 In a press release, the FBI said 21-year-old Adam Savader allegedly stalked 15 different women from three states between May 2012 and this past February. 

The New York Daily News reported that Savader was a political science major at SUNY Farmingdale. He had worked on the political campaigns of Newt Gingrich, Paul Ryan, and Romney. 

Savader claimed to have nude photos of the women, and threatened to release the photos unless they sent him more. He demanded that one woman answer “a series of personal questions, relating to sexual preferences, positions, etc.,” according to a FBI complaint. He also informed at least two women that he was masturbating to their stolen pictures. 

“I swear on all that is holy. If you fuck with me again I will send these to your parents. I have no problem sending them to ur [sic] parents, friends and sorority sisters unless you cooperate by answering me,” he allegedly told one woman. 

Some of the victims attended the same high school as Savader, according to the complaint. 

One of his victims contacted the Ann Arbor Police Department, who referred the case to the FBI. Savader used Google Voice to keep his identity a secret, but the FBI was able to track him down via his IP address. 

FBI agents arrested Savader at his home in New York. He was charged with Internet extortion and cyberstalking. Savader faces up to five years in prison if convicted.

This guy was doing this WHILE Romney was running for office. And apparently there are tons of pictures of him with all kinds of GOP headliners. (And yes that also includes you-know-who.)

Boy did Mittens dodge a bullet with this one!

Gee I wonder what kind of job this guy would have had if Romney HAD won the 2012 election?

Secretary in charge of those "Binders full of women" perhaps?
