You know, for all the times I think Biden can be and has been a tool: “Biden was offended about a story pushed by conservative operatives about his daughter getting into trouble with the police,” Wolffe writes in the book, “Renegade.” Wolffe, who covered the presidential campaign for Newsweek and now works as a political analyst for MSNBC, doesn’t explain what the “trouble” was. But Ashley Biden was charged in 2002 with obstructing an officer during an incident outside a Chicago nightclub. The charge was dropped after she apologized. Biden brushed aside his staff’s suggestion that he release a statement, … Continue reading Happy Joey the Shark Photo

G.K. Butterfield: The Don’t Let The Bedbugs Bite Act: The Don’t Let the Bed Bugs Bite Act of 2009 also would require public housing agencies to submit bedbug inspection plans to the federal government. It would add bedbugs to a rodent and cockroach program in the Department of Health and Human Services. It also would require the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to research bedbugs’ impact on public mental health. Butterfield’s letter to congressional colleagues about the legislation attracted lots of attention: It was topped with a full-color picture of the insect sitting on human skin. “Unfortunately, in recent … Continue reading Happy Democrat Photo

Telegraph doesn’t get the joke, News At 11: Andrew Rasiej, founder of the political technology site Personal Democracy Forum, said too many messages consist of warbling monologues that miss the point. Other postings, including one by Nancy Pelosi, Speaker of the House, were said to be too eccentric or random to resonate. In a minute-long video, Mrs Pelosi showed footage of her life behind the scenes in the Capitol Building through the eyes of two pet cats. Making matters more bizarre, the minute-long film was captured to the strains of Rick Astley’s disco hit, Never Going To Give You Up. … Continue reading LOLDEMOCRATS

The usual suspects freak out impressively: Given how Kerry beat up his fellow GI’s in Vietnam,can you almost understand how he will beat up Israel with the rubble of Gaza. Watch, The MSM will suck up the excrement that’s going to flow from his mouth when he gets back. It’s the first cycle of hanging Israel out to dry. Maybe, though?Not so much: GAZA, Feb 20 (Reuters) – Hamas denied on Friday it had given U.S. Senator John Kerry a letter for President Barack Obama when the senator visited the Gaza Strip this week.

I’d been wondering where the Party was keeping him. Via ONTD_Political, here’s an interview full of awesome: Setting aside modesty, if you’d beaten “Poppy” Bush would we be facing an infrastructure crisis now? Oh Christ, we’d have been at this thing all guns blazing. You mean, for instance, we’d now have a halfway decent passenger rail system in the U.S.? Are you kidding me? If I’d served as president for eight years? I certainly think so. — We seem to have gotten to a place where people have forgotten that large public works projects can happen in less than a … Continue reading DUKAKIS!
Because as relieved as I am, that it’s over, I’m sad, that it’s over. Thank you, Senator Clinton, for standing up for Democratic values and Democratic principles, for advocating universal health care and workers’ rights, for reminding us every day that we have come so far, and for reminding us how far we still have to go. Thank you for getting back up. A. Continue reading Know Who Your Friends Are As You Head Off To The War: Thank You Hillary Thread

DAMN, baby. “Rush Limbaugh is a has-been hypocrite loser, who craves attention. His right-wing lunacy sounds like Mikhail Gorbachev, extolling the virtues of communism.Limbaugh actually was more lucid when he was a drug addict. If America ever did 1% of what he wanted us to do, then we’d all need pain killers.” I mean, DAMN BABY. On first meeting him, one might not suspect Alan Grayson of being a crusader against government-contractor fraud. Six feet four in his socks, he likes to dress flamboyantly, on the theory that items such as pink cowboy boots help retain a jury’s attention. He … Continue reading So Here’s Somebody Who’s THE SEX
Stolen from Obama_Daily: As the Bush Years wind down I think it’s important to remember the times people did stand up.This is one of my favorite political speeches of all time. I read it every now and then just to remind myself what righteous fury sounds like: In these times—under a president who seems every more day intent on acting as if he is the law, who grants himself the right to ignore legislation, who claims the power to spy without a warrant, to imprison without a hearing, to torture without a scruple—in these times, I would be a fool … Continue reading Happy Obama Photo: Dodd Edition
Russ: Not here, Mr. President-Elect, the cameras are on!Harry: Why does Feingold get all the hot ass around here? Because he’s just that good: Feingold’s letter calls the president-elect’s attention to a September hearing of the Constitution subcommittee entitled “Restoring theRule of Law,” at which more than three dozen historians, law professors and advocates — includingJohn Podesta, now a key player in the transition process — testified. Out of that hearing came a series of recommendations for steps the new president can and should take to renew the rule of law: 1.) Close the facility atGuantanamo Bay. 2.) Ban torture … Continue reading Happy Feingold Photo: Talk HARD
