Party Chairman of the RNC. They will never get sizable donations.
And we all know why. I don't think they'll go for the hizzle in da shizzle.


What is your conceptual, continuity?

I want Steele to stay around because he's just so damned much fun to play with. You never know what goof-up he will come out with next.


Say what you mean. Mean what you say. But don't say it mean.

But how much more fun would we have if Joe the plumber was the head of the GOP?

(or one of many other crazy kids)

They're all fun as long as they don't have the ability to get anything sharp or get too close to the stove. I sure as hell wouldn't give any of them a BB gun for Christmas. They would not only shoot their own eye out, they would shoot out the eyes of all the other kids as well.

Lawn darts comes to mind . . .

Maybe we should chip in a send them some lawn darts?

Lawn darts requires skill, patience, and a license.

Because we know that Joe the Plumber becomes horny easily, he would most likely see a lawn dart as a sexual device.

Better yet, have them participate in a Consecutive Catch/Suicide contest.

We know they are good at circle activities, the jerks.

... gotta bookmark that one.

They spent about 10 minutes on Morning Joe talking about Peter Orszag having a child with his ex-girlfriend. He has two kids with his first wife, one baby with this ex-girlfriend and is engaged to another woman. Ed of the Ed show said he thinks the President should be sure that Orszag is focused on his job. I guess Ed thinks you can't screw at night and do your job the next day.

I mean seriously, WTF? This story is worth time on tv?

... if one talked about mind-blowing sex, you could question one's mental capacity afterwards.

Besides which, Republicans have plenty of in-depth experience with not thinking while letting Mr. Happy off the leash.

Haven't you realized it's called the IDIOT BOX?

"love child" might be good for ratings they just haven't figured out how yet.

They will run with it.

unannounced at any state dinners? Have her diapers been checked
by TSA. Has the TSA cheif checked the criminal records of Orzag's new squeeze? The possibilities are endless.

Why doesn't Obama do some recess appointments?
In the case of Dawn Johnson was nominated back in March.
Does he not really want her, since she opposes torture?
What's the deal?

think I just woke up my roomate...

we can add to the list of things he does like Bush.

This renomination of Ms. Johnsen is just another example of Rham poking his missing finger in the eye of the progressive movement.

I want to know why.

it's not like he has a problem following in Bush's footsteps on so many other issues.

Why not this one, which would actually garner him some support?

ricky's picture

Obama support in some quarters here was if he had taken control of Cheney's wheelchair on Inauguration day, whisked him to the top of the Capitol steps, and let go.

BTW. I know I misspleled Rahm earier. Having a Buddhist moment for some reason. Not much of a Tiger this early in the A.M. Dham.

wanting any ideas why he is not doing a recess appointment.

Bush had no trouble pushing through 95% of his appointees, with the help of the compliant Dem minority.
The few that didn't get through (Bolton comes to mind as one horrific example) he just used recess appointments.

So... any IDEAS why Obama is choosing not to do so as well?

ricky's picture

mentioned. And then there is the inevitable media chorus of "Well Dem's have an unprecedented 60 vote majority. This action signals the further decline...." Following that your fellow traveler's comments will be "damn Obama is setting Johnsen up like Bolton."

I am just getting my morning Rahm-o-gram with the talking points on these appoitments. I may have an answer for you.

Seriously? Because with a recess appointment, she'd have to resign after a certain time, rather than being able to serve indefinitely. Apparently, they'd re-nominating her, which is good news.

Yeah. Can you blogo-geniuses try and keep up please.


Vote GOP and move forward to the 18th Century.

Senate seat, anyway? Say isn't that the state where they elected that Lieberman dude after we progressives primaried his rosy butt?

Yes. It's also the State where the wife of a wrestling promoter is running for high public office.

Atrios is right when he writes, "As I've said, the media still continue to take their cues from whatever the latest Republican talking point of the day is. Old habits die hard, or perhaps not at all."
