Balloon Juice: How the politicization of that patronage mill we laughingly call the Department of Justice could hurt Obama in November.

Jeddi Report?
I can think of few other Democrats who I trust as much as I trust Russ Feingold. I may not agree with him, especially here, but I trust him to tell me what he thinks and stand by it. I can not say that of most Democrats.
Mrs. Dan Senor,also known as Campbell Brown of CNN, SHOULD have her "scoffing" down pat,as well she should. What has NOT been widely reported is that her father,Jim Brown,former Secretary of Insurnce was convicted of multiple offenses and sentenced to Federal prison-even wrote a book about what he termed:railroading" him by opposing political factions.Don't believe me? Check it out on the net yourselves. She is one arrogant b---h.But the fruit didn't fall far from the tree.
BTW,Campbell Brown's father was Secretary of Insurance for the state of Louisiana.
Feingold is correct. Of the two, McCain is the only who can say he has reached across the aisle. Obama has no history of doing that, and with a Democratic Congress will not need to.
Independent voters will have to consider that.
Is Feingold waxing Liebermannesque?
dennis @ 5:
Actually, Obama sponsored several bills with Republicans, so this is not correct. Of course, this is what the "liberal" media may say, but it's wrong.
robbie @ 7:
dennis never bothers to let facts get in his way so you might as well save yourself some keystrokes.
I wrote to Russ this morning. He needs to stop this crap. I don't care if it's true, he thinks it's true, or he just dislikes Barack. Everything he says can be used against Obama. STFU, Russ, at least until after the election.

And, Dennis, Obama co-sponsored the transparency act with Oklahoma's Senator No (Coburn).
Actually you get to vote for douchebag of the week.
here: http://www.hotchickswithdouchebags.com/
This week you have your choice of:
1. Squidward, a greasy douchebag with a giant squid tattoo and a ladyfriend with fake boobs.
2. Velco Flabulous, a idiot with a hair crest and dogtag bling who's hangin' with Inge the swedish cocktail waitress.
3. Crapser the Douchey Ghost, a rocker douche with scads of meaningless tattoos, a backwards cap with mandana, a drained complexion, and Carmelita, who is luscious.
Douchebags are taking over the world. They've eaten Long Island and Staten Island. Now their munching on NJ and south Florida and vast swathes of LA. Mock them before they completely take over the country.
What a plate full today! Where to begin.
Well, how about 'Things they didn't report…'
The July 29, 2008 Rand Corporation report: '…essentially refutes the whole "war on terror" approach of the last seven years.'
Just imagine, who would have thunk it? Thousands of Americans dead, more thousands maimed, hundred thousands of Iraqis dead or maimed, millions of refugees, trillions of dollars wasted and for what?
Did NPR report that, not a chance.
But they did report that Micky D's sales and stock are up.
Isn't that thoughtful of them?!
for gods sake have that gal take off that green t shirt!
Here's a blog you missed:

It looks like Marlboro may have paid NBC to subliminally advertise for them with their Olympics logo.
Rena @ 9:
Thanks, Rena. I stand corrected and apologize for my error.
I should've said 'little known history' instead of 'no history' of reaching across the aisle.
dennis @ 5:
Dennis...wrong as usual. But of course...facts don't matter...you may now pass McCain and collect $200.
Interesting...
I'd just wonder if this guy at the Fablog has ever realized that the most progressive nation with an Abrahamic religion for Transgender rights is....
guess...
go on....
do it...
The Islamic Republic of Iran. Iran and Thailand are the two most progressive nations on gender rights, and this progressivism in Iran started under the infamous Khomeini. Ahmadinejad is correct, homosexuals don't exist in Iran. A large and bustling transgender community does.
Also, I'm willing to bet, considering what I know of Mexican history, that law will be more honored in the breach than in the observance.

It takes a special kind of cluelessness to talk about "reaching across the aisle" in this age of race baiting, swift boating, and serial lying. The scorched-earth campaign tactics by the ideologically-driven zombies on the right have little to do with reaching across the aisle. Grow up. You sound like Broderella, with his misty-eyed reminiscences of bipartisan days of the past. What Feingold did stinks, period. McCain is a lowdown, lying sack of shit. If you can climb over that to defend ANYBODY praising him, you're at the wrong website.
Disappointing from Feingold. As for the press peddling the GOP attack that Obama and not McCain is the "elitist," it's moe of the same, but maddening nonetheless.
dennis @ 14:
Wet Start Johnny has been a senator for an extremely long time, so it's only natural that he would have co-sponsored more legislation with the opposition party than Obama has.
Although I must say, with Republican principles having failed utterly in the past twenty-some years it is disappointing that Obama has ever "reached across the aisle."
Thanks for the linky love, Mike honey.
