Comedy gold as Democrats complain about Republicans possibly not letting the Dems filibuster while in the minority.

As Feinstein points out, they were filibustering judicial nominations…appellate judges! Judges! And yet they want to ram through health care reform with 51 votes. Heh.

Compare his thoughts on President Bush’s call to reform Social Security back then to his own stance on reforming health care right now.

Comedy gold.

Can you honestly watch this clip and come to a different conclusion?

“The system worked.”

Update: I apologize. Perhaps the title is a bit harsh…to the mentally handicapped. As Doug Ross notes, “On this morning’s talk circuit, Homeland Security head Janet Napolitano achieved the rare feat known as Complete and Total Beclownment.”

An Illinois man getting chemotherapy was dropped from his insurance plan when his insurer discovered an unreported gallstone the patient hadn’t known about.
“They delayed his treatment, and he died because [...]

You cannot make this stuff up.

During the Bush administration, the Times and other media outlets routinely disparaged job creation as somehow beneath the dignity of the workers, even as wages rose and unemployment fell. The work was demeaning and mundane, and the pay inadequate. Every chance they had to use anecdotal complaints about supposed burger-flipping or paper-shifting wound [...]

Obama [compounded his problems] by vastly misreading his mandate. He assumed it was personal. This, after winning by a mere seven points in a year of true economic catastrophe, of an extraordinarily unpopular Republican incumbent, and of a politically weak and unsteady opponent. Nonetheless, Obama imagined that….he had won the kind of banana-republic plebiscite [...]
