Pay it forward, Mr. Bush.
Iraq is still a failure and a tragedy.
Bob Dole says Rush Limbaugh is an asshat. Bob Dole isn’t afraid to say what Bob Dole thinks.

Why is the right-wing hating on John McCain? Because he’s about to lock up the nomination and will want to run in the general election as a moderate - and now all of this moronic stuff about him not being conservative will be used as evidence that this moronic stuff about him not being [...]

For your consideration while you read:
David Ruffin, ladies and gentlement.
If we don’t serve the fat, are we guilty of being a weight-ist? Or are we just being enablers if we do. And, regardless of how you argue that, do we need a law about it?
Barack Obama had a good day today. He [...]

Mitt Romney is saying that John McCain is the reincarnation of Richard Nixon. For my part, I don’t think it’s possible to be reincarnated twice at the same time - so I’ll say George W. Bush already rules in the spirit of Tricky Dick.

Here’s a recap from HuffPo.

Tom Tancredo apparently thinks John McCain is a threat to our country and, possibly, a traitor.
Sometimes other people stand up to be their enemies - like the National Review’s screed against McCain for being [...]

Glenn Greenwald is saying bipartisanship ain’t what it’s sput out to be:
“bipartisanship” is already rampant in Washington, not rare. And, in almost every significant case, what “bipartisanship” means in Washington is that enough Democrats join with all of the Republicans to endorse and enact into law Republican policies, with which most Democratic voters disagree.

It’s the day after the last George W. Bush State of the Union address. Here’s what (some) people are saying:
Can I sell you something? The President as a failed salesman.
Even by moderate standards, George Bush has been a failure.

It looks like Democrats killed the cloture vote on the FISA bill that would give telecoms immunity.
Tonight is the State of the Union address, but Bob Villa is no where to be found.
New York’s NOW chapter is mad that their candidate didn’t get Ted Kennedy’s endorsement. Welcome to democracy and pluralism.
The Republican campaign [...]
