Wow. Where is everybody?
What planet does Cillizza live on? After the last census the Rethugs gerrymandered the districts so that they would have control of the legislature for years to come. 2010 may be the first real competitive election we’ve had since that redistricting scam.
Why is Harold Ford allowed to call himself a Democrat?
I don’t know…. but can we please give him to the republican’ts? With dems like ford who the spit needs thugs.
Darthette continuing the daddy rehab tour on morning shmoe.
Things heating up between Eugene Robinson and liz cheney on efficacy
of torture.
methinks that’s where they are.
Has Tweety come up with a new term for pullin’ stuff outta yer ass? Cheneytalk. The new Newspeak.
And yep, Harold Ford is still a fenderhead.
Y’know, I watched clips of Cheney on Rachel last night and for the FIRST time noticed the “Darth” breathing that must have contributed to his nickname. Color me s-l-o-w on the uptake….but I haven’t heard Cheney speak much, I guess.
Someone pointed out that Cheney really resembles another character, I think Darth’s father, better than Darth. I’m not really up on my Star Wars lore. But that breathing….wow!
Is she *still* on? Scar must be…….(insert your preferred inappropriate comment)……at her performance. :-(
Can’t watch Morning Joe at work, but my head would probably explode even worse than it did on Saturday when my son showed me Jon Stewart’s extended interview with Cliff May.
Harold Ford is still a fenderhead.
too bad that there’s no criminal charges available for ”I woulda violated the Constitution, the Geneva Conventions, and U.S. laws against torture, but I lost the damned election!”
Have heard about his breathing patterns a lot lately.
Not sure about the Star Wars stuff, just worried that he may go hunting with friends again. :(
Is she *still* on?!?
We’ve heard more from her #$%^&*) father in the last eight weeks than we heard from him in eight years. He sounds like a major asthma attack looking for a place to happen. Believe me, I know whereof I speak on that feeling and noise. :-(
The whole panel talked over Gene Robinson at one point to give li’l lizzie a breather. Ya see, it worked. I already forgot the point Gene Robinson was making. *sheesh*
All these has-beens on the bobblehead shows just reiterates how badly we need good booking agents to get progressives on teebee and radio. I want to see Frieda Berrigan on This Week so she can tear The Rug, Kookie Cokie and Clueless George each a new one.
Monica Crowley givin’ Dick Chee-knee a verbal blowjob this a.m. on Imus…
’nuff said.
Harold Ford is one of those conservadems who is scared to death of the republicans, so to make himself feel better, he spends his days agreeing with everything the right wingers have to say in the hopes he can be friends with them and to be part of their clan.
Despicable! He’s the worst kind of democrat, because he blames the Democrats for everything the right wing of America does. Can’t stand it!!!
And I’m sure Imus is letting her get away with it too. He’s no different than Harold Ford.
It was much more pronounced in the clip last night. His breathing sounded labored and wheezy. I always assumed it was the “dark lord” association that got him the “Darth” nickname, and that still might be true, but the breathing sure accentuates it.
I loathe Dick Cheney, but I don’t wish him a heart attack and that’s what this sounded like — congestive heart failure or something else catastrophic.
No reason to have Robinson or anyone else with a more progressive viewpoint on other than to claim “fake and balance”. Someone here at the Lake or on another blog made the perfect observation about how scar handles guests with differing opinions and more knowledge than he….can’t remember exactly how it was phrased but spot on.
In case you missed it last night, Jon Stewart has a new recurring feature:
Excuse Me, Your Dick is Out
[It’s about Cheney]
You’re a better person than I, m’dear….but it won’t happen; they’ll just keep plugging a new heart pump in him and keep him alive forever.
There’s a day gonna come when his pacemaker and all the medics around him will be worthless. When yer ticker decides it’s through no amount of money or power will change its mind.
Here’s a good take on Harold Ford…!
Dial-up therefore no vids. A synopsis…..if you’d be so kind?
oh mercy!
you just put an image in my head of Cheney’s head being kept alive horror movie style.
and that would be a horror.
Morning!
It’s a good take-down of Cheney’s self-justification tour.
Nate Silver has an interesting post on Crist…
The mental image…it BURNS.
good morning…cant we call liz,…..LIZ DEFERMENT(Vietnam)CHENEY?
Imus hates Harold Ford…
I stopped paying attention, but I think Imus lets her just prattle on. She outs herself.
A late good morning to the swim team!
No one in the MSM dare call Crist for the raging homophobic closet queen that he is. Mentioning what’s said and fucking proven about him in Outrage is absolutely verboten.
And so is any discussion of Carrie Prejean’s fake tits and nude photos.
