What are you looking at?
I don’t even know what planet Brooks, the Democrat-Christened ‘moderate conservative’, is hailing from these days. Outer Space wouldn’t even explain it, though some Michael Jackson-esque drugs possibly could. He should probably check himself in.
In the meantime, most Republicans hope Brooks is right (no pun intended) and the Obama admin. is more insane than himself. It sure looks like Camelot:
Yet the atmosphere in the White House appears surprisingly tranquil. Emanuel is serving as a lighting rod for the president but remains crisply confident in his role as chief of staff. It’s true that several top administration officials did not want to attempt comprehensive health care reform this year. But they are not opening recrimination campaigns. It’s no secret that many think the president needs to be more assertive with Congress, yet administration officials still talk about Obama in awestruck tones, even in private.
Some would say the administration is underreacting to the incredible shift in the public mood. Some would say they need more voices from the great unwashed. But no one could accuse them of panicking, or of scrambling about incoherently. In their first winter of discontent, they are offering continuity and comity. Whatever their relations with the country might be, inside they seem unruffled. The bonds of association, from the top down, seem healthy — especially for a bunch of Democrats.

Washington Post:
Not wanting to let a good crisis go to waste, Satan(D) has requested a bailout from Obama Tuesday morning to upgrade his infrastructure, sources said. Lucifer cited the inability to handle multiple mega-sinners Kennedy and Murtha at the same time, and that doing so could prevent his ability to properly roast Reid and Pelosi in the near future. Obama then consulted Schumer, long time Satan golf pal, and is convinced the Devil is serious. Schumer suggested letting the Devil have Landrieu and Nelson ahead of time, but the Devil is still pissed the Democrats have withheld Senator Byrd from him for so long. Overall, the Devil likes the Health Care scam and is upbeat that Obama’s Party has created a huge surge in sinners and that he’ll be busy with them for quite some time.
In one of the more painful moments of his career, Murtha was listed as an unindicted co-conspirator in the Abscam scandal of the late 1970s. As a result of the FBI undercover operation, several Capitol Hill figures were charged with agreeing to pay bribes to agents posing as representatives of Arab sheiks. Murtha was taped talking with an undercover agent about his interest in helping his district, but he was not charged and said he did nothing wrong.
In 2005, he became a darling of the Democratic antiwar movement when the prominent hawk announced that he was in favor of withdrawing troops from Iraq. He had supported the resolution to go to war in 2002, but he later denounced the Bush administration’s war effort as badly planned, calling it “a flawed policy wrapped in illusion.”

It’s interesting watching the arrogant denial among Democrats. The Debster would have you believe Democrats are doing such a great job that not only will they not lose the statistical amount of seats an average incumbent party loses during mid-terms, but that they’ll only lose 25? Uh, hehe, uh, hey Beavis? Uh, er, hehehe, uh, this one doesn’t have a clue…
Hey Deb, when the Politico headline reads, “Will Democrats be able to hold the Senate?”, you can be quite sure you’re chance of holding the House isn’t one.
Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, who oversees incumbent retention for the DCCC, predicted Friday that Democrats would lose less than 25 House seats this fall.
“I think that the dire predictions – I don’t think they’re going to come true,” she said in an interview in between addressing DNC members at the party’s meeting in Washington

Obama gets a pass on launching his career in the living room of a domestic terrorist. He hides his grades, he votes present, prays for 20 years in a radical racist church, hides his birth certificate, then assembles groups of radical people and appoints them high positions in the White House where they get plucked off one by one by Glenn Beck every weeknight for being radical.
Sarah Palin’s crime? She’s married, and shared her governorship with her trusted husband.
Nearly 3,000 pages of e-mails that Todd Palin exchanged with state officials, which were released to msnbc.com and NBC News by the state of Alaska under its public records law, draw a picture of a Palin administration where the governor’s husband got involved in a judicial appointment, monitored contract negotiations with public employee unions, received background checks on a corporate CEO, added his approval or disapproval to state board appointments and passed financial information marked “confidential” from his oil company employer to a state attorney.

Gee Pat, I don’t think Obama believes Scott Brown is too funny. Could be wrong. Remind me, again, what you’ve done for your country? No, drugs don’t count.
Sen. Scott Brown’s (R-Mass.) election has been shown to be “a joke,” the son of the late Sen. Edward Kennedy (D-Mass.) said Thursday.
Rep. Patrick Kennedy (D-R.I.) castigated Brown for having pushed to be sworn in ahead of schedule to permanently fill the Senate seat left vacant by the congressman’s father’s death in August.
“Brown’s whole candidacy was shown to be a joke today when he was sworn in early in order to cast his first vote as an objection to Obama’s appointment to the NLRB,” Kennedy said Thursday.

Nothing like a Supreme Court justice to tell it like it is:
Thomas offered several reasons for the court’s decision, which I won’t repeat here; but what intrigued me was his parenthetical explanation for his absence from the State of the Union address. “I don’t go because it has become so partisan,” he said, “and it’s very uncomfortable for a judge to sit there. There’s a lot that you don’t hear on TV: The catcalls, the whooping and hollering and under-the-breath comments. One of the consequences is now the court becomes part of the conversation, if you want to call it that, in the speeches. It’s just an example of why I don’t go.”

I could swear someone, somewhere said Democrats would regret the election of Senator Air America someday. Its today:
Five sources who were in the room tell POLITICO that Franken criticized Axelrod for the administration’s failure to provide clarity or direction on health care and the other big bills it wants Congress to enact.
The sources said Franken was the most outspoken senator in the meeting, which followed President Barack Obama’s question-and-answer session with Senate Democrats at the Newseum on Wednesday. But they also said the Minnesotan wasn’t the only angry Democrat in the room.
“There was a lot of frustration in there,” said a Democratic senator who declined to be identified.
“People were hot,” another Democratic senator said.

So, Obama thinks he doesn’t like the word “no”. How about “Hell No”. Its awesome to see Obama on the other side of his own bullshit:
The first likely casualty: Craig Becker, Obama’s nominee to the National Labor Relations Board. He won party-line approval by a Senate committee on Thursday, but that won’t be enough to win confirmation – at least for now – in the full Senate. Republican John McCain of Arizona, Obama’s opponent in the 2008 presidential election, plans to block the nomination, arguing that Becker would make pro-union changes on the NLRB without congressional approval.
It takes 60 votes to break a Senate filibuster, so the solid 41 mean McCain’s “hold” will stick if every other Republican agrees.

Do you feel lucky?
Damn. McCain’s Eastwood pose is impressive.
I think Obama should get used to the idea of “No”, from the party of Know. He arrogantly slanders Conservatives at every chance, then acts like a Chicago thug in charge and tries to demand their allegiance. Problem is, he’s not in Chicago. 2nd problem is, the Tea Party is bigger than the Union in the US and he keeps coming up empty. Not sure voters will be fooled a second time after a years worth of rubber has been down the road and nothing to show for it except some gray hair and increased arrogance.
Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) doesn’t think the government should be competing with Doritos by spending $2.5 million on a 30-second Super Bowl at about the census.
“While the census is very important to AZ, we shouldn’t be wasting $2.5 million taxpayer dollars to compete with ads for Doritos!,” McCain said via Twitter.
