Republico (Politico nickname)
Politico.com is a website and news service that reports political news. Some critics have claimed that Politico has a conservative/Republican bias. The Politico nickname of “Republico” has been cited in print since at least August 2007.
Other Politico nicknames include “GOPolitco” (GOP + Politico), “Pervertico” (pervert + Politico), “Politiho” (Politico + ho/whore)) and “Tiger Beat on the Potomac.”

So it’s pretty clear that the Politico, which is founded by a bunch of right leaning folks really does deserve the name “Republico”.

This is a truly shocking story.
Not that Guiliani is a corrupt adulterer - that isn’t news.

Ok people, POLITICO should also have the name REPUBLICO as it started with money from right wingers and has not really turned away from a Right wing slant. I do not read POLITICO.

Grover Norquist is only one conservative of many calling out for states to declare bankruptcy. Why? To kill unions, of course. His editorial in The Republico (Politico) doesn’t say that outright, but it’s his goal, nevertheless.
