“Damn that's hot!”

“Great. Now admit to the 10,000 other lies you've peddled and we can call it even...”

“Amen, Brother - fanned.

In the end, pragmatism wins the day...”

“Sorry, but I can't buy that argument. Ever.

That's what all the obedient little Ralph Nader liberals said in 2000 about Al Gore. And we all remember what happened in 2000 and the 8 years hence with GWB, don't we.”

“Politics is the art of compromise. And yes, it is often a bitter pill to swallow...”

“One thing I love about our military is how loyal the soldiers are to each other. Gen. Casey is an honorable man and his wishes as well as the wishes of Mr. Cahill's family should be respected by all Americans.”

“That kid is braver than I'll ever be...”

“Yeah, these are all 10s.

At best they're political canards, at worst they're paranoid delusions...”

“Mr. Plouffe, I applaud your dedication to President Obama and I agree that he has taken many necessary steps to improve the situation our imperiled country is in right now, but I have to agree with Ms. Huffington that it just hasn't been enough and that his governing style is timid in comparison to his style as a candidate.

Instead of encouraging the banks to extend credit to small businesses the President should be demanding it. Instead of trying to convince one Republican Senator to support the Public Option he should insist that every Democrat do so. Instead of the administration dragging its feet on closing Guantanamo, it should be accelerating the process.

And the list goes on. I am proud to call Barack Obama my President but I will be prouder still when I finally feel like he truly is standing up for me and the rest of the American Middle Class by enacting effective policies that actually help. So far only the banks have gotten any real help from the Obama administration. I understand that the country is better off today because a repeat of the Great Depression has been averted, but we in the Middle Class have yet to reap the benefits. How much longer will we have to wait?”

“Obviously you don't read what you see here or you'd know that the president has been getting unmercifully hammered by many of the more prominent bloggers on this site, including Ms. Huffington.

The difference is, their criticism of his job performance is done respectfully and within the boundaries of decency...”

“Okay, fine. Then they should be getting a visit from the IRS, right?”

“Vitter was one of "only" 30 Republicans to vote against?

"Only"????”

“This kind of action by the President is a perfect example of one of the fundamental differences between liberals and conservatives.

Liberals would rather be open and honest about what the wars are costing us. Conservatives would rather keep the cost of the wars as far out of the minds of the voters as possible.

Controlling information means controlling thought, and thought control is the ultimate end game for conservatives. Why? Because it's bad for business when people's consciences get in the way of making a profit.”

“Admitting to getting the record wrong is better example of journalistic integrity as it applies to cable news or talk radio. Like on TRMS last night. It was a minor point but Rachel doesn't like getting things wrong so she went out of her way to correct herself.

I've never heard O'Reilly or Limbaugh ever say they were wrong about anything.

"We stand by the fabricated story because we know he thinks it," is one of the most audacious things Limbaugh has ever said and that is saying something...”

“Pardon me. I meant anti-lynching legislation...”

“See?

The President is actually getting stuff done. And anyone who thinks this is just posturing to make himself & congress look good should actually read the bill. Just like civil rights legislation, the Feds can intervene if local & state are ineffective or stonewalling.”

“My point is that if they want to suck fees out of people who won't complain, they should target the richest 1% of their cardholders...”

“They should limit the fees to Gold or Platinum card holders.

In other words, tax...uh...I mean rate hike the rich!!!”

“Eww!”

“ROFLcopter!!!”

“There are more than enough actual faults to make one's head spin, and, at the very least, give anyone with the ability to think critically a seed or two of doubt when seeing something like this.

At Fox it's all about ratings first. And turmoil within makes for entertaining television. When people like Shep actually DO gain control of Fox, then I'll stop doubting. Until then I won't trust anything I see ever on FNC.

Ever.”

“Fox crying wolf, I agree...”

“Either that or the sacrificial lamb.

You can never tell with them.

Or maybe he's trying to get out of his contract. I hear CNN could use a good anchor...”

“I doubt it will come to that. He'll cave one way or the other. He might not even show up for the vote. It worked for McCain and the new G.I. bill.

Well, no it didn't, but you get my point...”

“You can blame them for not stopping her. If she was by herself that's one thing, but she had a boatload of children! She should have been tackled to the ground by her ex-husband if that's what it took to keep those kids safe.

And even if she was by herself she should have been stopped.

And nowhere in the story does it say the other kids' parents were at the party. She brought them there from her house and was returning home with them after she got hammered.”
