There are probably worse ideas for White House Chief of Staff, but I gagged on my homemade soup when outgoing Pennsylvania Governor Fast Eddie Rendell suggested that Barack Obama choose Colin Powell as his Chief of Staff. Perhaps you’d like to put your even worse suggestions — Silvio Berlusconi? Harold Ford Jr? Lloyd Blankfein? Steve Rattner? — in the comments.
Rachel made quick work of Rendell’s idea, reminding him of Powell’s blotted copybook, and how that incident rather uniquely disqualifies Powell from the one job where you don’t want someone who got taken in by the Washington politicized-intelligence community.
Rachel characterized Powell:
The man most famous in his last iteration in government for getting rolled by the ways of Washington.
Replied Rendell:
But Rachel, there are no perfect choices.
Thank goodness Rendell doesn’t expect to get asked by the White House for his recommendation about what the President should say tomorrow at 1pm; this is a singularly bad idea.

He didn’t suggest Karl Rove?
I don’t understand why the name Ed Rendell never came up.
You are wicked!
Recommended.
Why not Bloody Bill Kristol, and be done with the fucking charade?
I understand David Brooks is held in high regard.
Isn’t Rahm’s brother available? Real change would be another Emmanuel brother in there to make sure Wall Street is well represented.
Rachel Maddow for chief of staff. (off books, weilding power behind the scenes.)
Liz Cheney. Why not the worst.
willaimbennet,
Speaking of Rachel, this is one battered Democratic Party Wife in mourning and in unbridled fury right now. She lambasted Evan Bayh for his betrayal of the Democrats and of course killing the Colin Powell idea. Man, I can’t wait until she takes the frying pan to the Democratic Establishment………….
BlueFloridian,
You must be depressed today: tea party goofball Marco Rubio in the Senate and a prospective thief in the Gov’s mansion…………
And for whom did you cast your vote for in the Florida Gov’s race:
The Thief who stole almost 2 billion dollars from medicare,(Scott) or the Thief who gave the state’s pension fund money to Goldman Sachs (Sink)?
Oh, I think Obama should swing for the fences and choose Sarah Palin as his next chief of staff. That’ll show those lousy progressives who’s boss, won’t it? As well as locking up the coveted hate voters.
Evan Blah is available, and he doesn’t have to learn on the job. He’s already a veteran conservadem who’s done everything in his power to obstruct the progressive wing of his party.
Mr. President,
The voters who enthusiastically put you in office in 2008 have now said that they are unhappy with your ability to do enough to reform our health care system or to stimulate our economy. Do a better job of fighting for the things you said you believe in, or expect to be out of office come Jan 2013.
You can start by calling for Harry Reid to step down as Senate Majority Leader. Clearly, your base is very unhappy with the job he’s done. If you want us to work for your reelection and to bother voting for you in 2012, you should make sure such failures are moved aside.
Thank you.
Petraeus or McChrystal
Either would be a good choice, now that civilian control of the military has gone out of style in a post-9/11 world.
Btw, Silvio Berlusconi for CofS? I don’t think I’d want that buffone anywhere near my wife.
I predict Harold Ford. http://thinkprogress.org/2010/11/02/harold-ford-lesson-tax-cuts/
Laughing! I agree with you, since Obama wants to move further to right of Reagan, he should pick Sarah Palin! This will make Paul and Lanny Davis happy
When Ed Rendell said this, the expression on Rachel face was priceless!!!
the Main Stream Media or Fake news, never brought up the poll saying 47% of DEMOCRATS HATE OBAMA, wonder why? one would think, that maybe this had a lot to do with the GOP winning.
Harold Ford may be the worst — but I can see Barry doing it. To make up with Wall Street.
Yeah, because he wasn’t bipartisany enough.
Douche.
This Colin Powell, Ed?
http://thesituationist.files.wordpress.com/2007/09/colin-powell-un.jpg
James Baker: Worked for Poppy and Shrubby Bushs; should be sufficient for (Chicken) George III.
It’s largely because Harold Ford is the worst that it is my prediction of what O will do.
However, I’m not sure Ford would accept. He’s already on Wall St. and CoS wouldn’t enhance his future income prospects by much.
Or would it? I admit I don’t know much about how much rolodex development goes with that job.
Colin “No, I guess it was a toaster, after all” Powell??? WTF???
More generally, shall we have a pool to predict how many registered Rs get appointed to O’s inner circle in the next 2 years.
People may not like this idea, but the way Obama is determine to follow the Bush policies
Obama is continuing the Bush wars
Obama is spying on americans like Bush
Obama is clearly the president of the rich and richer like Bush
it would only be right if Obama ask Bush to be his Cheif of Staff
because all that has change really is Obama talks better than Bush, but the Bush ideas and plans are still in play
W is too lazy to actually work. He’s turn it down. Though, it would be nice to know if there were behind-the-scenes sounding out. *g*
Rachel was on fire last night. Easily the best debater the progressives have. Actually the only one.
Who does Obama listen to and respect? Glen Beck!
She was angry — and rightly so.
are we going to start with the ones already in his inner circle?
the only democrat in his inner circle, my bad Elizabeth Warren is in Obama outer circle
axelrod GOP via Clinton
gibbs GOP via Clinton
Hillary is a Clinton
I am going all in on Elizabeth Warren being the only Democrat in the outer circle of Obama, and no Dems in his inner circle
Joe the Plumber
Oh yeah, Ford would take the job if Barry promised he would move to the right. That would help his career. He might have to change parties down the road — to maximize his net worth.
When idiots like Rendell get nailed on an issue, they always fall back on the ‘perfection’ point. To paraphrase TV Tool Dr. Phil, “It’s not a vain quest for perfection, but a striving for excellence.”
That ass-hat cliche about ‘not letting the perfect be the enemy of the good’ bullshit always bugged the hell out of me. It dodges the point and clouds the issue. It never is about perfection, it’s about getting the best you can from the start. Something Rendell and especially Obama & Co. don’t or won’t get. That cliche is an excuse for setting and fulfilling low expectations.
Palin’s way too lazy to accept a real job. She’d be like: WHAT? Me WORK??? Get real. Plus the pay isn’t high enough for the Queen of Grift.
Obama listens to and respects David Brooks and Thomas Freidman.
http://www.salon.com/news/politics/war_room/2010/10/26/obama_columnists
Powell? Crap — why not go all the way and bring back Henry Kissinger?
Agree. Just like Palin (as I said in a prior comment), W has no interest in *working* ever again. For entitled beings like W & Palin, work is only for the “small” people.
I’m as disappointed with some of Obama’s policies as most of you. But there is a list of accomplishments out there and sometimes I think the bashing is too extreme. Even the DADT policy….I hate that it hasn’t been repealed thru exec order but making it enforcable by only a few people seems to be a step in the right direction.
I really don’t want to get into an argument where I have to defend Obama cuz 90% of the time, I’d agree with you all. But there are some reasons to support him.
At least I’m not the raving lunatic I was during the Bush years where every day was worse than the day before.
The Republicans didn’t defeat Progressives last night, the establishment Democrats did. Full Stop.
The rumor is that he’s still alive.
Jeez, and Tweety is such a tool.
“Obama, use your action words.”
WTF?!!1!?
Isn’t Henry the K already *working* for/with Obummer? One can smell the odious sufuric oders of Kissinger emanating from almost all of Obamaco’s foreign/imperialistic “policy decisions.” I don’t think Kissinger wants to be in the limelight. He “does his job” (and gets very well paid for it) much better behind the scenes.
Perhaps the only good sign from the election is that the Conservative Blue Dogs were completely wiped out. Might as well have been a politicide. (Yeah, I know it’s not a word but it should be)
Indeed. The only reason why the bath wasn’t any bloodier is because some of the Tea-Baggerz were just too fully bugsh*t NUTZ for even GOPers to vote for ‘em.
Geez I bet a lotta folks in NV were pinching their noses real tight when they pulled the lever for corporate tool Reid.
Tim Kaine.
If there is one thing that Obama truly counts on in his appointments, it is spectacular displays of truly towering incompetence. Yesterday was Kaine’s tour de force, demonstrating he has the chops to fuck up with the very best. He has earned the right to stumble in the steps of the historic underachievers Rahm and Summers to take his place alongside current all-stars such as Geithner, Jarrett and Gibbs. ; )
P.S. We are awaiting your formal resignation.
I’m sorry to see pols like Feingold & Grayson be voted out. That was too bad, really. But I’m not all that dissatisfied with what happened. Obummer really only wants to push forward a rightwing agenda. Now he’s got the pols to do it…. except they’re gonna be foaming at the mouth to look at his stupid birf certefikat.
Not completely wiped out, alas. My disgraceful congresscritter John Barrow will prance back.
Don’t let winning in 2010 be the enemy of winning in 2012.
LOSERS on parade, that’s for darn sure.
Darrell Issa — to keep the number of investigations down.
Nothing’s changed, really. We’ve had two years of bills passed put of the House only to languish in the Senate and now we’ll have… bills passed out of the House to languish in the Senate, (unless BoBo and Tommy convince their admirer to be warm, fuzzy and bipartisany), but we’ll have the diversion of unending impeachment hearings and subpoenas for birth certificates. All while the rich get richer, the poor get poorer and the planet gets dirtier. All viewed by me from the underside of the most comfortable bridge I can find.
If Obama told SUMMERS he is doing a great job fixing the economy
one can only assume he is jumping for joy at how Tom Kaine done last night
Fuck Tim Kaine, Michael Steele’s da man now!
Look at it this way; Tea Party wins, hilarity ensues!
I think it’s going to be Erskine Bowles or the other DLC stooge now working on cutting SS (Bruce Reed)
I’m hoping that a couple of those rich folks buy big new refrigerators so we can tape the boxes together into a condo for us to live in…
Any hope of propping up this unstable world economy is officially dead. They will either do nothing (lots of that), or screw up mightily. All other options are off the table. The only bright side is that oil shortages will be pushed out a bit further as the real economy contracts.
Later today (2:15 eastern) we get the statement from Bush/Obama’s Fed chairman on QE2. The world waits with bated breath – disaster, large or small?
LOL — Presidential medals all around! Huzzahhh! ; )
DLC stooge is a minimum qualification.
Asshole is preferred qualification.
Blowes meets both.
Here in Colorado the odious amendments went down, and Tancredo did not win. The hideous Buck will probably (after a recount) fall to the merely awful Bennet. My blue dog congressman is replaced with someone even worse.
… uh … victory?
The Republicans will overreach. They will do nothing except attempt to impeach Obama and shut down the government while the country and world languishes. The beltway media will love the sparring and the intrigue. For those of us who want good government, once again people who vote with body parts other than the brain have carried the day. Things will get sooooooo sh*tty that by 2012 0r 2014, there will be another Democratic “wave”. Those of us who need help now will be gone by then. Good luck to the rest of you. You’ll need it.
Any and every uptick in economic activity will be credited to the lowering of uncertainty brought about by the Rs winning the House. Barry will get NO credit for ANY economic improvement.
He is fucked BOTH ways: if things improve, the Rs winning the House did it; if things don’t improve, well that’s Barry’s fault too, isn’t it.
Check mate.
Don’t you get what Rendell is admiring: the military solution?
He’s the go-to guy who gave his approval to assign spies to follow the anti-gas-drilling groups around so he could inform gas companies on what these ‘radicals’ were up to. He likes breaking the law and civil liberties. He’d be a dictator and an ah gosh humble one at that.
The Rs will humiliate Obama and show him to be exceptionally weak. They will allow him NO victories — unless those victories demoralize his base. There will be no wave around Obama. It will take another progressive leader — maybe of a third party – who will have to repudiate Obama’s approach to governing.
OT: Sink loses!
I have to hope you’re right about Senate gridlock. But I have a bad feeling…Harry “I’m a tool” Reid will probably be all too eager to obey the conservatives. He’s done nearly everything possible to screw things up so far. Why would he change now that his “esteemed colleagues” have control of the House and effective control of the Senate?
(I say “effective” control because the Dems were hapless buffoons even with 60 seats, and the Repubs dominated all the legislation that came out of Senate committee. Now with even more Repub seats, will that trend suddenly change?)
It was brutal to watch, but we knew this was coming. This country is like an alcoholic. It must bottom out hard before it will snap out of its delusion and denial.
Okay. I was unclear or you read something that wasn’t there. I wasn’t talking about Obama. I was discussing control of Congress. Period.
You know one huge problem with this election cycle is that the Republicans wanted to make this election about Obama, despite the fact that he wasn’t on the ballot. And too many of us allowed them, even assisted them in that masterful bit of misdirection. I don’t blame apathy, I blame credulous simplicity and ease of manipulation.
It will be nice when the TV box stop showing me images of that duplicitous talking head. At one time, his words seems somewhat less fake, and I was able to pass it off as politicking. But as days rolled by, and the googlemonster revealed the gross mismatch between his actions and his increasingly obvious forked tongue, Ed Rendell is just a blight IMO.
(gads…I want my edit back!!)
Looks like I haven’t had enough coffee.
He’s a proven liar….he’ll fit right in.
You have a point. Palin would actually be expected to DO something. Of course, when your job duties entail literally kicking loyal members of the Democratic base all around DC, she might be able to rouse herself to do that. Especially since she could count on Obama laughing and cheering her on…
Well, since Michelle is above legal age, she’s probably a bit long in the tooth for Silvio. According to the European press Silvio prefers 15 year old Moroccan females who are impressed by “somethin’ sparkly”
No, the pay isn’t good enough for Evan, either. I’m sure he’s got a job lined up in the private sector. Probably one which involves sending more jobs overseas. Could we send Evan and the Blue Dogs abroad, or,perhaps, send them on a recon mission into deep space?
The calls for Obama moving to the middle are loud and clear on MSNBC today. As if Obama is a fire breathing liberal who was too radical for America. Our voters are stupid bcz our media is stupid.
That pretty much sums it up. For me, too!
Right! Glenn Beck for chief of staff!
As much as I disagree with the Republican Party, when they are in power they wield power. Bush pushed through tax cuts and other legislation without a 60 vote majority, sometimes scraping by with only 51 or 52 votes. Yet, after Obama takes office somehow the Democrats HAVE to have 60 vote or they can’t pass water, let alone legislation.
I’m not sure if this country will snap out of its delusions. It may just shrivel up like a endstage alcoholic’s liver.
If it’s Bowles, David Broder will die from orgasm.
Well, thank you for your input Knox. You know I always appreciate it when those of the left offer constructive criticism and urge me to go in the directions they would like me to go. But right now, you see, I am busy gutting Social Security for the benefit of future generations, prosecuting two stupid wars and ignoring global warming. But keep up the good work, Knox. Always appreciated.
Perhaps we need a video of Kaine and Obama in a helicopter circling the Capitol as they survey the post-election wreckage. It could include a shot of Barry and Timmy high-fiving each other as Barry congratulates Kaine on “Heckuva job, Kainey!”
Belatedly, I agree with you, Solai.
WIN!
Well, we knew this would be the message from the fawning corporate media.
Elizabeth Warren, was at some time in her life, also a Republican, I believe.
Margaret. The “world” isn’t languishing. Harsh news, but we are learning to get along without you. And I am quite serious about that. Something really fundamental changed this recession time. This was the moment the US was decoupled from the world economy. In truth, it has been going on for a while already but it’s only now we can recognise it. You won’t be coming back – at least not as the one and only motor. Those days are long gone. This is probably the single most important issue now in play. How long will it take for the citizens of the US to recognise that essentially, most of the ROW doesn’t really care much what they say or do any more? Influence is gone.
As a pro-choice person, I thank Colorado voters for voting down the personhood amendment. It’s a bleak Wednesday, and I’ll take the few victories for common sense that did occur.
Which House District, 4cdave? I live in the 3rd; Tipton is even more empty than an Empty Suit. ‘Merely awful Bennet’ was gooood!
Paulson for Treasury Secretary. Grover Norquist at EPA. Bipartisanship is easy. Just surrender to your adversaries or as Obama likes to call them, his new best friends for life.
Good on you, Teddy! God, what a perverted, we-need-MORE-seppuku! idea.
As Driftglass said, years back; Colin Powell was THE deal-closer for the Iraq loon-crusade. No one but he could have done it, as he pointed to the Al-Queada-camp flow-charts and waved the little bogus vial of anthrax around…
He also made his military bones helping to cover up My Lai.
This man has got more blood on his hands than a Chicago slaughterhouse worker.
OTOH, since Obama’s done such great rehab on the GOP, maybe he feels that this would just be another part of the salvage operation, and maybe this little trial balloon-turd was approved by the White House, as just another sign of the willingness to really, really, work closely with the new republican reality.
As Lily Tomlin said years ago:
“No matter how cyinical you get, you can’t keep up.”
Arrrghhhhh….
The media knows exactly what they’re doing. They are not stupid they are dangerous.
You’re right about that. Obama brought the Republican Party back from the dead and he’s now in the process of destroying the Democratic Party.
You misunderstood. I meant global climate change wise, not influence wise. I’m not so arrogant as that.
Margaret, why on God’s green earth would the republicans want to impeach the president who’s saved the GOP? No one but Obama could have salvaged these assholes.
After what happened last night, the republicans would have to be stone idiots to want to get rid of the world-class loser who’s dragged the democratic party straight into the shitter.
IF they could chase Obama out of office, any democrat with a brain in his head should dance naked to have that burden liftedl from us, and to have Joe Biden move into the White House with a reasonable chance at a fresh start.
Aint gonna be no impeachment. Obama’s way too valuable to the republicans to get rid of him.
With Monica practically walking around with jizz on her chin, they couldn’t get Clinton. If they try to impeach Obama, they’ll turn him into a “victim”, and that’s the last thing they need.
Maybe Rendell’s just observing proper pol etiquette. Maybe there’s a standard unwritten waiting period, after an election, before it’s not seen as gauche to pull a Cheney? I’d think it’d always be so, but this is DC we’re talking.
It’s like the original freakin Star Trek, where the whole damn ship of state is run by the same lousy actors. Too many chiefs, not enough Indians, as my dad (the retired master chief, btw) likes to say.
So many masks on so few criminal faces, I like to say.
With “reasonable Dems” like him, who needs enemies, foreign or domestic?
“We allowed them to do it”??????????????
What nonsense. He did it to himself. He rolled over and peed himself so many times that he was like the GOP’s own puppy-dog.
And that’s why the voters hammered he, and his party.
This is the same electorate that gave him a landslide two years ago.
Those “good voters” weren’t kidnapped by Venusians. The hiring was clear in 2008, and now the firing process has begun.
Hard to blame them. Deal with it.
Tomlin! Thanks for the blast from the past. Love that lady. Just watched an episode of Laugh-In from season 2, with Davy freakin Jones, no less. Some of the sociopolitical jokes are still painfully funny.
In fact, all the more painful. That’s some vintage shit, man, laughing-to-keep-from-crying funny.
Thanks for that…I just threw up in my mouth…
Bluetoe2:
It’s gonna be his legacy.
There you have it…if Ed Rendell is one of the “shining lights” of the Democratic party, then the party is toast.
PROGRESSIVES NEED TO DITCH THE DEMS AND START THEIR OWN PARTY. Dammit.
Much like our last Vice…ummm…President.
Tweety’s jonesin’ for a “tingle”.
Actually, I’m not too worried about Powell moving into a White House office.
I think he’s way too much of a cynical realist to hustle up the gangplank of the Titanic, even for a cabin in first class.
Barack Obama is now pretty much of a lock to be the poster boy for a failed president. I will be very surprised if Powell would want to assist him in that accomplishment.
LOL Watch for the giant dust cloud…
“Obama is a leftist!”
Barack Obama has kissed so much corporate ass he’s got CEO shit coming out of his ears.
Now you know why the networks don’t televise chess matches.
Ed Rendell… the man who wanted to sell the PA Turnpike to UAE investors….
Chris Matthews… Colin Powell…
What is this? The 30 pieces of silver club?
AMEN to THAT!
I just looked at the clip.
Maddow got it wrong.
Powell wasn’t “rolled by the ways of Washington…”
That’s a whitewash, itself. Powell was rolled by George Bush, Karl Rove, Paul Wolfowitz, Douglas Feith (“The dumbest fucking man on the planet”) and their ilk.
In fact, we know that when they handed him the original turd-packet of third-reich-agit-prop that they wanted him to read at the UN dog-and-pony show, he threw it back down and said:
“I’m not reading this bullshit.”
Which means it must have been some pretty awful bullshit…since he read a bunch of OTHER bullshit.
As Maddow has enjoyed a bigger audience and has moved out of the role of full-on lefty gadfly into a more widely watched (and better paid) media role, she’s been at some pains to tone down her outrage and parse hairs a bit too finely, for me.
Schultz and Olbermann, on the other hand, seem to me to be about as full of piss and vinegar as ever. At least, on their own shows.
Cap; yeah, it is. Everything is for sale. Everything.
The backslapping of political hacks is resounding through the land.
And it’s not because of idjits like Palin and her ilk. Obama gave the GOP and their twisted worldview a “leadership” vacuum the size of the Grand Canyon. All they’ve done is fill it. Now, they get to frolic and gambol in the spa that our “centrist” president has created for them.
Works for me, Knoxville, except, I think it’s too late for that.
Last night sealed the deal. From here on out, I think Obama’s going to have to ask John Boehner for permission to go take a leak.
Heh…half my screen persona is an homage to Tomlin’s “We don’t care. We don’t have to! We’re the phone company!” operator Ernestine…and the other, a nod to that lovelorn hurler of stones, Ernest T. Bass.
heh heh heh… So true!
Oops, that last comment was directed at fuckno. But, yeah, it wouldn’t surprise me if David Brooks was their man (Mr. Bomb Bomb Iran).
Geez, just think of Broder dryhumping his desk moaning, Erskine, Erskine, more, more!
Darth Rove whispers, Yield to the dark side, Barack….
“. . . perchance to dream.”
Nice one, Knox, as dreams go . . . damn that would be a delight.
Alas, they are on the same team, bought by the same money to represent the same interests and they BOTH have been masterful in their work.
Too bad ‘we the people’ don’t have such skillful representation.
Time for all good dem voters to put on their big girl/boy pants and change party affiliation from Dem to ‘fuck you’, ‘decline to state’ or some other such status. Let’s see if a drop of 30 million voters from the Dem ranks does anything. If not, our votes sure as shit will in ’12.
*G*
No Obama, No HRC, No Generals . . . not with MY vote.
Wow, yer sharper than the fine German steel on my Henkel’s.
I had never thought of that, despite Obama’s choices when he took office, which was a BIG giveaway (in hindsight) as to what we the people were really in for.
Nice call eCahn . . . . very spot on.
We are under siege, we the people are . . . like never before.
I’ll make a correlation between what CA and Brown are going to face in ’11 econ/budget wise . . . the old ‘as CA goes so goes the nation’ . . .
Cuts, deep cuts, in all services, in all fed and state civil servants, in education, social services, police, fire, sheriff’s, and more.
More privatization, elimination of entitlements, pensions, and more.
Not to mention elimination of corporate oversight, restrictions and such for them all . . . . more drilling on and off shore, by by Climate Change Policy, more coal digging.
Sigh.
Given the historic times and climes we live in, the erosion of all we were born and raised into, the absolute DISASTER of millions of jobs gone and long term, chronic and permanent UNEMPLOYED, I can find NO bright lights whatsoever for Obama, his admin, the dems or any other elected offals.
In ’06 we the people handed it to the Dem’s, in ’08 we handed it to the Dem’s, and said let’s get it done dems!
And they failed we the people miserably and contrived and schemed and legislated and appointed and ruled against we the people on every count.
There ARE no gains . . . none. There are only baubles to distract us from the carnage they are all wreaking down upon we the people.
If one is retired these are the people stealing your retirement funds, be it SS or personal m.
If one is in their 40′s-50′s or older, these are the people ensuring you’ll likely never work another job in your life, and you’ll likely never draw a penny from any SS you’ve accrued.
I could go on . . . but I think all y’all get my drift.
There ARE no gains, they are illusions.
I’ll close on this one question for everyone-just what gains do any of your LGBT friends or family speak of WRT Obama and this admin?
This comment goes out to ALL dem voters who think there is any positive light to cast upon this party’s performance from the top down since we brought them to office in ’06.
OMG OMG OMG! Unbeknownst to me, or any of us at the Washington Chapter of DU, way back in the early 80s day, my fraternity, Delta Upsilon, the only non-secret fraternity in the world (formed as an anti-secret “eating society” back just before the Civil War by the likes of such lights as Charles Evans Hughes, and including such literary icons as Kurt Vonnegut Jr. [Cornel, '43 or was it '44?]) made a t-shirt that said, “We don’t care, we don’t have to — DU?” with an image of a very effed up Bill the Cat drawn by my roommate.
Thanks for filling in that void in my memory, much obliged.
Hey, waitaminit, don’t I know you from HuffPo? You got like a zillion friends there, iirc.
IOW, and we thought we were being so effing original. Laugh-In did it!
Sadly, yer likely spot on . . . good call.
Good to see ya on the toobz Tan . . . and on Obama and dem failures we’ve NEVER disgreed!
What do you think of my posit Obam will not run (party will tell him to step down) in ’12 and dem’s will jack up HRC & A General? So the dems can get all the military funding sweetness in THEIR pockets?
Yield my ass, Obama’s been a Dark Sider all along . . . you DID notice his cabinet and admin picks on Day One didn’t you?
Not to mention TARP, FISA, Bailouts, wars, etc?
Agree with you on all the above. Rachel gets way too much credit for being some kind of darling anymore . . . she’s definitely taken the pay and wears the muzzle.
NOTHING like she used to be . . . . sad.
Olberman too, IMHO . . . don’t know what to think about Ed, other than he’s also on radio and seems able to run a little wilder than others who aren’t on radio.
