This isn't the sort of thing that should be happening, a politician suggesting Obama's possible terrorist ties.  Dirty pool. 

Damn those McCain 527s and those Repub................... wait........ what?  The accuser is a top Democrat party exec?

Ok, then never mind.  This never happened.  Nothing to see here.  Return to your homes.

I can just hear the wailing and gnashing of teeth in the pro-abortion ranks.  "This is awful!  Giving women facts so they can make an informed CHOICE [gag] is heinous!"

The ignorant consumer is an abortion pusher's best friend.

And yet, the broken Canadian system is the model for U.S. leftists bent upon achieving a single-payer utopia. 

This is just sickening.

In the mindless drive to "get" this administration, common decency has apparently fallen victim.  I thought we were all Americans, and could disagree and debate without sinking to this dismal level.  Apparently I was wrong. 

Someone needs to remind the rabid left that the enemies of this nation are not in the administration, nor in our armed forces, nor across the aisle. 

It’s French diplomat and author Jean Giraudoux who’s reported to have remarked “The secret of success is sincerity. Once you can fake that you've got it made.” Now, I wouldn’t be the first to note the parallels between extreme rightwing “conservatism” (the quotation marks are inserted to note the modern instantiation would be unrecognizable to Goldwater, much less Burke) and the psychological disorder of sociopathy. But it should be mighty interesting watching the party of sanctimony and pathological indifference to everyone but the overprivileged trying to feign “empathy” for working families.

“Feel their pain”: that’s the plan alarmed Republican advisors suggest.

The party scrambled together a commission to study its problems after the GOP unexpectedly got its ass kicked in special elections in Illinois and Louisiana; its spectacular defeat in Mississippi was apparently the last straw.

Because their actual inner experience of it is shallow or completely absent, empathy is an emotion sociopathic individuals find it nearly impossible to successfully put across because it’s hard, if not impossible, to fake it. Let’s watch. This should be entertaining.

Only two more days until Monday, so let's get the weekend started now. Post what you like...

for excruciatingly embarrasing GOP political ads.

I know if I were a Republican I certainly wouldn't be going around these days admitting it to anyone but my closest friends.

The U.S. Supreme Court has overturned the Washington D.C. gun ban today, which will allow private citizens in the District to re-affirm their rights to keep and bear arms.

Just for comment.  Morris is about as dependable a political forecaster as weather .com was yesterday when telling me that it wasn't going to rain on my fresh concrete, i.e. NOT.  But I do find his commentaries entertaining, at least. 

 

Senate cloture vote 80-15, with this sterling cast of leftie Dems in the tiny minority:

Biden, Boxer, Brown, Cantwell. Dodd, Durbin, Feingold, Harkin, Kerry, Lautenberg, Leahy, Menendez, Sanders, Schumer, and Wyden.     

No surprises there.  Presumably this vote will preserve the street cred of the 15 as they seek the blessings of the nutroots.        

Wee... another liberal actor stumping for Obama:

Norm Coleman's "attack ad" is unbelievably, emarrassingly lame.

My father always said that there was no such thing as a small lie.  A man can lie about small things, but the lie itself is big, as a measure of the man's lack of character. 

That's why I agree with Jim Geraghty about the significance of this look inside Obama's character.

So... did Obama call and tell them to dummy up and not contradict his No Drilling/Pander to Cornfield County energy "policy" the way Bill Richardson did?   Or did they really just suddenly realize that they had nothing to say? 

Your tax dollars @ work: Administration’s half-billion-dollar Arab-language journalism project lacked Arab-language speakers, journalists.
