Rachel Maddow does an excellent job - the kind of excellent job that no one else on television is doing - explaining the actual origins of the Tea Bagging movement. She discusses the rift between the Tea Bag originators, Ron Paul supporters, and the Republicans who are trying to coopt their message.
Huh. I'm beginning to think that John McCain's sense of right and wrong may be subject to the winds of political expediency. I'd hate to think that kind of impression got carried too far afield. . . .
John McCain's up to his old asshole ways, jutting his fist out and bitching about things he knows nothing about. He says broadband projects will "take years," but he seems OK with other, more traditional methods of infrastructure spending. Uh, John? When's the last time you saw a bridge built in less than a year?
Awesome! The Obama preference is a nice shelter mutt! That's really cool. They really are much better dogs. And besides, allergies, depending on the severity, don't have to be an obstacle for short-haired dogs.
What's DARPA doing now? Going to the dogs, that's what.
Oh, boy. The woman is old, let's just let her just retire?
Barack Obama's decided to come out swinging this time, and it doesn't look like the negative ads are going to go unanswered.
Bill doesn't bother to mention the fact that Van Jones signed a statement saying 911 was an inside job. But the rest of the non-Van commentary is great.
I hope the folks at AIG are doing OK. It must be cold at the top. And windy.
The tone of this comment is, at best, dismissive in the way a grampa dismisses a recalcitrant child. At it's worst, it does sort of have the disrespectful tone that some people could take as confirming their own racist impressions of Obama. I don't think that's what he's going for, but I do think politicians need to be careful.
Gosh! If she's so knowledgeable about energy, maybe we should start asking her some questions about it, then?
Well, now. The media is finally starting to wake up to the reality that John McCain's pick of Sarah Palin was breathtakingly bad. Whoa. "Intrepid" is a word they use to describe reporters, doncha know?
David Gregory is not very good at his job. It has to be said. Here he lets Mitch McConnell play fast and loose with the CBO report on the health care reform bill.
Finally, we're starting to see Conservatives with brains getting to speak on television.
