Is Bill Clinton actually concerned about the country?
…we must remember that Clinton is a centrist (like Bush and, even more, McCain). No one knows, perhaps even Obama himself, what Obama is. Maybe, like many of us, Bill Clinton is genuinely worried. He would know, wouldn’t he?
People will look back on this year as they did 1972, and wonder how Obama got the nomination, and why the superdelegates didn’t do their jobs.
Nancy Pelosi says that the bailout bill has to pass.
OK, Madame Speaker, if you believe that, if it’s such a great idea, then why not pass it? Your party controls the House. There is no filibuster as there is in the Senate. There’s nothing the House Republicans can do to stop you. So where is the bill?
Obviously, she just wants keister upholstery in case it doesn’t work. She wants to get buy-in from the Republicans so that they can share the blame for the taxpayer ripoff. I don’t see why they should give it to her. And I also don’t see why this isn’t pointed out in news stories like this.
Oh, right.
In Ohio.
You’ll be as shocked as I was to learn that ACORN is involved.
Sorry, couldn’t resist the headline. But it’s true.
Not.
Glenn Reynolds has a link roundup.
Robert Wagner considered killing Warren Beatty.
Too bad he couldn’t work up the nerve. It would have spared humanity from both Ishtar and Bulworth.
Mike Griffin says that space exploration is crucial to the survival of humanity.
Jack Murtha is going to be sued for slander. Here’s hoping that he loses big. It would be great if he’d actually lose his seat in a few weeks, but that’s probably too much to hope for.
And I guess my title libels actual bags of scum. Hope they don’t sue.
Obama’s plans would be pretty hard on us.
It’s not surprising. He’s never displayed any knowledge of, or interest in business. If anything, his attitude (and unfortunately, John McCain’s as well) is that there is something ignoble about profits (hence his self-righteous preening about his choice of becoming a community organizer instead of “going to Wall Street”).
Jeeeeez. Hint, ladies. Persuasion is not force.
