Barney gave a good response to reporters when asked about Republicans blaming Pelosi for being too partisan and causing the bailout to fail.

Below the fold is the prepared remarks that Nancy Pelosi read on the House floor that was supposed to be the “partisan speech” she gave which pissed off Republicans. I have read it a few times now and can’t find a thing bad about it. It sounds like the Republicans are out looking for a […]

Republicans have jumped into the blame game with lightning speed following the failure of the bailout bill. Ed Henry has a good run down of the talking points here: 60% of Democrats voted for it, while 67% of the Republicans voted against it. It’s interesting that the Republicans are saying it was due to a […]

The market is falling quick on fears that the bailout package is going to fail. UPDATE: The bailout has failed in the House. Update 2: Final vote was 207 yea, 226 nay. By party: Democrats: Yea- 141 Nay -94 Republicans: Yeah – 66 Nay – 132 It looks like the Republicans didn’t pull their 100 […]

It looks like the interview of Sarah Palin by Katie Couric last week that we saw may have actually been the good parts for Palin. Reports now say that CBS actually has more video that is much worse for Palin: And the worst may be yet to come for Palin; sources say CBS has two […]

When Obama mentioned the bracelet he was wearing, which bears the name Ryan Jopek, a soldier lost in the Iraq War, the right wing was in a frenzy. Quickly they started decrying the mention of Jopek and said that Jopek’s mother didn’t want him to do that (see here, here, here, here and here). Now […]

The McCain campaign is threatening Gwen Ifill if she asks to many/hard foreign policy questions Thursday night: Of course the moron Steve Doocey now says people are more concerned about “domestic issues”. Funny that when they talk about John McCain they say the voters are more concerned about foreign policy. So this should be chalked […]

33 pastors went out yesterday and endorsed John McCain from the pulpit, breaking the IRS rules put into effect in 1954. Will John McCain stand by and let this vagrant disregard for our democracy take place? These ministers must be punished for their lack of respect for our laws. Their churches must also now pay […]
