Just go this: Sure he’ll pay it back, but that doesn’t excuse the fact that he did it to begin with. While this asshole was out showboating over his rejection of the stimulus funds, he knew damn good and well that he was abusing taxpayers dollars. This guy is a major fraud and shouldn’t be […]
Here is Worst Persons from April 22 of this year. Pay attention to the first person that Olbermann names: Visit msnbc.com for Breaking News, World News, and News about the Economy Just some lonely county commissioner here in Ohio, but now he is planning on becoming a little bit bigger of a name: Warren County […]
Something we aren’t used to seeing; oversight of an administration, being conducted by the administration’s own party: A congressional oversight committee opened an investigation yesterday into whether the Obama administration is circumventing a law that limits lavish pay for executives at firms benefiting from the $700 billion federal bailout. Rep. Edolphus Towns (D-N.Y.), chairman of […]
Who ever thought the head of the RNC would be such a rogue? (audio only) Think Progress points this out: It’s ironic that Steele insisted he was “not backing down,” because directly following Steele’s original statement regarding primary challenges, the RNC walked back his statement in a message to Politico’s Ben Smith, insisting it “has […]

The right wing has been touting out this graphic today as proof that Obama is destroying our government through spending: Now they are saying that Obama is projecting a $1.75 trillion dollar deficit this year. Drudge has had this graphic on top of his blog and even right wing bloggers are on the “apologize to […]
Perhaps that is a saying that should be echoed through the offices of the RNC and the Republican leadership. From the latest example of this practice, let’s look at the ongoing battle Michael Steele is waging with his own members in Senate: Senator Olympia Snowe (R-ME), a pro-stimulus Republican who will be up for re-election […]
I posted about California’s GOP punishing some of its members for voting for tax hikes the other day. It looks like that notion is picking up steam as the RNC’s Michael Steele is now talking about punishing senators Collins, Specter and Snowe for their support of the stimulus. (h/t AmericaBLOG) Something we used to hear […]
Or Republican Governor refuses stimulus money because of some failed far right ideology: When President Obama signed the Economic Recovery and Reinvestment Act last week, it included three different provisions to benefit unemployed workers. The first provided funding to states that allowed for a $25 per week increase in benefits. The second extended the Emergency […]
