Elizabeth Warren has been one of the most sound voices during this financial crisis. Republicans and Democrats have both looked up to her analysis of the problems plaguing our economy and have touted her as one of the brightest minds when it comes to economics. Tim Geithner – not so much. So this story should […]
Given the big news of the day, that Democrats plan to forgo the formal conference and instead ping-pong the health care bill into final legislation, I am now stuck turning to Michelle Malkin, who is citing the 2006 report from Democrats on the “death of deliberative democracy”: The conference process in the 108th Congress is […]
Let’s face it, Harry Reid is a horrible poker player. He folds every time before finding out if his opponents were bluffing or not. How do I know this? Simple. Since becoming majority leader in 2007 Harry Reid has faced countless threats of a filibuster and never once has he made the opposition go through […]
Very interesting article by the Politico: Republicans and Democrats slammed Rep. Alan Grayson (D-Fla.) for calling Linda Robertson, an adviser to Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke, a “K Street whore” in a month-old radio interview that circulated on Capitol Hill Monday night. “There’s no call for that language. No call for it. That’s absurd. If he […]
The right is all in a happy frenzy over this from FOX: On the morning of Sept. 11, 2001, just minutes before learning of the terrorist attacks on America, Democratic strategist James Carville was hoping for President Bush to fail, telling a group of Washington reporters: “I certainly hope he doesn’t succeed.” Carville was joined […]
Yesterday I was wondering why James Carville was on Meet the Press as a pundit and not part of the Clinton campaign. Today the New York Times is wondering the same thing: Both networks are careful about balance: there are equal numbers of Republicans and Democrats. But they are careless about bias: the experts are […]
Or as I like to call it, “Fucking Crooks!”. It looks like Mitch McConnell is more worried about his own finances than he is the country. Here is an interesting story that rings of Duke Cunningham: Sen. Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., is pushing $25 million in earmarked federal funds for a British defense contractor that is […]
Glenn Greenwald has all the disguising details. I think most important is this part: Let’s just describe very factually and dispassionately what has happened here. Congress — led by Senators, such as Jay Rockefeller, who have received huge payments from the telecom industry, and by privatized intelligence pioneer Mike McConnell, former Chairman of the secretive […]
Newsweek just released a new poll with Bush at a 28% approval rating. Even worse for the Republicans is their future. Here is the breakdown by who will win in which match-up: While the poll has some high marks for Clinton, it’s not all good news. Though the New York senator and former first lady […]
Iraq was the key issue in the mid-term elections. Republicans and Democrats actually agree on that assessment. Now we are seeing a growing number of Republicans speaking out against the administration (it has become the hip thing to do). As if that isn’t enough, we found out via a new ABC poll of Senators that […]
