The sooner they go out of business, the better. It would open up room for competent newspapers to fill the vacuum.

As for Politico, all I can think of is Mark Halperin – Hugh Hewitt’s official jock strap sniffer.

Seems these bottom feeders forgot a couple of things.. O can still issue ‘executive orders’ if what’s left of the GOP can’t get past the directives of Pastor Hague and, as seems to be the case with all these revisionists, O can still use Chimpy’s favorite tool the “signing statement”…tee..hee…

Basically saying to McConnell and his band of Klan Members…blow it out your pie hole..

Hell, even in the minority (which they are), we still can blame them since they’re the ones who block everything the Democrats try to do anyways! See? It’s a win-win for us.</p> Well, if the GOP pundits want to spread the rumor that the GOP is in control of the Senate, then I guess we can blame the republicans when our country continues to fail.

There must be a manual somewhere that specifies the must-have’s and must-not-have’s for a top leadership position, and Bush’s traits I would bet fall into the latter column. I certainly can’t think of a prosperous country or a successful corporation led by a person with that profile. Remind me again how Bush did in business? Oh. Right. Sorry I asked.</p> Good Grief.
