Either Mika Brzezinski is trying to spin right wing talking points or she is just downright stupid. Check out this exchanged from Morning Joe where Ed Schultz had to take on the entire cast. Pay particular attention around the 4:20 mark: While Schultz is talking about the terror plot broken up by law enforcement yesterday […]
I have had Morning Joe on for about 45 minutes now. Guess what the subject has been? Nancy Pelosi and the CIA crap. The constant whining of “how can she lash out at the CIA” is getting very old. Scarborough has essentially dedicated his last 4 shows to this subject. This morning they are talking […]
The last few days we have seen the entire right go on about Obama shaking hands with Hugo Chavez and Chavez giving a book to our President. Even today wingnut talking points author Matt Drudge is still pushing the story: And what has all this publicity done for the Venezuelan leader? One of the biggest […]
Sadly though what they are recycling is old talking points: RNC chair Michael Steele has unleashed a new attack on Obama, sending out a mass mailing attacking the President as part of the “blame America first” crowd, an apparent effort to prove to critics that he’s getting tougher with the opposition.

But Democratic leaders seem more concerned with their own personal agendas than supporting President Obama and the future of their party. […]
The chatter around the blogosphere right now is about this: Greg Sargent, blogging from his new digs, notes this: Update: NRCC spokesperson Ken Spain sends over a response: “The site is currently under construction. We are looking forward to relaunching the site and fostering a discussion on how Nancy Pelosi and her Democratic colleagues’ proposal […]
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 […]
When asked what he meant by saying Obama was playing the race card, and to elaborate on the work he has done for civil rights, McCain draws a blank: C&L has the full video along with McCain’s actual answer, which is nothing but talking points delivered in an apparent snappy attitude.
