This is borderline silly, No, it’s beyond mentally depraved.
My Question is, why the hell would someone get on National TV and say something and not really mean it? That’s about the most absurd thing, I’ve ever read in my entire life.
Of course, absurdity is about the norm in the world of politics in this day and age, isn’t it?
The Story: Bush admin: U.S. has ‘lost intelligence’ (via Politico.com)
The Bush administration informed Congress on Friday that the government has “lost intelligence” because of the expiration of surveillance legislation caught in a political tug of war.
“We have lost intelligence information this past week as a direct result of the uncertainty created by Congress’ failure to act,” says an underlined passage of a six-page letter signed by Attorney General Michael B. Mukasey and Director of National Intelligence J. Michael McConnel
I think Keith Olbermann’s Words sum it up for me. I’m referring to the last one on this video…

Whoa Boy… Obama is catching grief over a comment made at the debates.
Mostly from the far right wing nuts, who refuse to believe that our Military is nothing short of perfect.
Some people need to really look into getting real.
Even some of the comments on the Wing Nut Blogs even ADMIT that they were using enemy weapons and bullets.
But let a Liberal diss our Military?!?!?! Off with his Negro head! 
Stupidity at it’s finest. 
He’s talking a pretty mean game now, But what about….:
and This:
Seems John McCain had a different view of war, back in those days, now he’s very much pro war.
Some people will say anything to get elected.
That’s what they’re saying.
My feelings are this, why can’t the woman handle her own?
Why does she need a 527 group do the dirty work for her?
I mean, If she’s so damned intent on winning the office of the President of United States, why can’t she fight her own battles?
The way I see it, if the woman cannot handle her own, while running the Office of President of the United States, what makes you think she will be able to handle even being the President?
Is she going to call a 527 to handle an attack by Al-Qaeda? Is she going to call a 527, when congress refuses her National Healthcare Plan?
Sounds to me like the feckless wench is just desperate. Time to quit, Hillary, while you still got your dignity. (That is assuming you had any…)
Color me unimpressed.

"Whoa! I paid my bill! I think!"
This is absolutely hilarious!
ANN Coulter suffered a serious embarrassment over the weekend when her credit card was declined in Palm Beach. According to our spy, the nutty arch-conservative was caught at 9:45 p.m. Saturday night in the 10 Items or Less line at the local Publix when her card was rejected. "She was embarrassed but didn’t make a scene," our witness said. "She just paid with cash and ran out of there. But at least she’s eating."
Little miss, "I’m richer than you and proud of it"’s Credit card, declined?!?!?! Holy Cow!
Two Words. Comedy Gold.
It can not be any worse than her serious screw up Canada’s involvement with Vietnam, on National Canadian TV!

Egad.
“What we have learned over this year is that hope is making a comeback. It is making a comeback and let me tell you something, For the first time in my adult lifetime, I am really proud of my country. And not just because Barack has done well, but because I think people are hungry for change. I have been desperate to see our country moving in that direction and just not feeling so alone in my frustration and disappointment. I have seen people who are hungry to be unified around some basic common issues. It has made me proud.”
This will be the big one for the talking heads tomorrow.
There should be a law against this sort of blatant stupidity.
Right slams Obama as ‘shady Chicago socialist’ (Via Times Online)
LEADING Republicans believe they can trounce Barack Obama in the presidential election by tarring him as a shady Chicago socialist. They are increasingly confident that his campaign could collapse by the time their attack machine has finished with him.
Grover Norquist, an influential conservative tax reform lobbyist, said: “Barack Obama has been able to create his own image and introduce himself to voters, but the swing voters in a general election are not paying attention yet. He is open to being defined as a leftwing, corrupt Chicago politician.”
Not only will this not work. But if it’s taken too much to an extreme, could really come back to bite the Republicans in the rear. One only need to go to Wikipedia to get a list of the MANY scandals that have happened during the George W. Bush Presidential Administration. Some say his stint as President was the worst ever. I cannot say that I disagree with that.
So, I mean, they can go this route, But I would not suggest it. It would be totally disastrous for the party.
Of course, there are some that are saying, that this is all a doing of Hillary or at least she is loving it. This would not surprise me in the least. However, I don’t think that she is directly involved, I think it is the work of an over zealous, right wing fringe.
It should be a very interesting election year. I will be here covering it all.

For the most part, I agree. If the Bush Administration has done nothing wrong, then why threaten to veto? 
Sorry, I don’t buy the frivolous lawsuit B.S. Line.

I guess Hillary and Co. will rethink the stupid racist nonsense.
