This week: Chuck Grassley reaches new levels of incoherence, Claire McCaskill dedicates her Mother’s Day tweets to her mom, Rick Perry gets all romantic, Sarah Palin is irritated by all the ethics complaints that keep getting thrown at her but finds solace in reading, Newt Gingrich eats out again and John McCain finally agrees with Barack Obama about something. Just a small thing, but it’s a start. And all this bipartisanship makes John Carter happy.
