Nancy kept the House in session late on a Saturday in order to twist enough arms to get her nearly 2000 page POS passed.
Harry is planning to do the same to the Senate this weekend.

Does anyone still believe this health care fiasco is above board, proper, legal, and necessary?

BOHICA, America.

This is the kind of shit your hopey-changey vote earned you. I hope you’re proud.

It occurred to me on my drive to work today, that Obama’s statements yesterday would only make it harder to put terrorists on in New York City. He referred to, basically, ‘a fair trial and a speedy execution’. No lawyer in the world would neglect to bring this up at trial.

A quick check now reveals I wasn’t the first to think of this (I doubted I had been, but hadn’t heard it brought up yet). Here’s Andy McCarthy from NRO:

More Obamateur Hour

In a meeting with the press in China, President Obama said that Khalid Sheikh Mohammed would be “convicted” and had “the death penalty applied to him” . . . and then said he wasn’t “pre-judging” the case. He made the second statement after it was pointed out to him — by NBC’s Chuck Todd — that the first statement would be taken as the president’s interfering in the trial process. Obama said that wasn’t his intention. I’m sure it wasn’t — he’s trying to contain the political damage caused by his decision — but that won’t matter. He has given the defense its first motion that the executive branch, indeed the president himself, is tainting the jury pool. Nice work.

Of course, if the entire purpose of this exercise has nothing to do with justice, just another show to placate the masses (that’s you and I, in case you’re not keeping up), then this makes perfect sense. Maybe they’ve already arranged for some “nutcase” to shoot KSM on the courthouse steps. Wouldn’t that play nicely on the evening news – and maybe be timely enough to distract us from the health care/bailouts/cap’n'tax issues.

Bread and circuses, anyone?

Lindsey Graham schools the Attorney General of the United States on the finer points of law.

Holder stammers. Continuously.

Dear Mr. President,

When are you going to stop being such an ass-clown and start performing even the most basic diplomatic tasks in the manner prescribed? This is not how you gain the respect of the world. I’m seriously starting to believe this is some sort of “alien race agrees to pass on the secrets of the universe if the U.S. will belittle themselves before the world” prank. Have the Goa’uld come through the Stargate with this deal? Don’t trust them, you moron!

Even after the White house made complete fools of themselves lying about the bow to Abdullah, the amateur-in-chief does it again. I’m so confident in this presidency I could vomit.

Somehow I doubt it, but I’d say it’s probably a good start.

Corruption lands ex-Louisiana congressman 13 years

ALEXANDRIA, Va. — Prosecutors called a former Louisiana congressman’s corruption the most extensive in the history of Congress. His punishment delivered a similar message.

William Jefferson, who famously hid $90,000 cash in his freezer, was sentenced Friday to 13 years in prison for taking bribes, the longest term ever imposed on a congressman for bribery charges.

This is the same asshole that had the National Guard driving trucks to his house during Katrina to move his personal property instead of helping the citizens. Lovely. And somehow President Bush was the bad guy? Amazing.

Bill – I hope your life in prison is miserable.

Obama’s Frightening Insensitivity Following Shooting

This was something I was hoping would be commented on. Kind of weird to read it on an NBC website. From Chicago.

But instead of a somber chief executive offering reassuring words and expressions of sympathy and compassion, viewers saw a wildly disconnected and inappropriately light president making introductory remarks. At the event, a Tribal Nations Conference hosted by the Department of Interior’s Bureau of Indian affairs, the president thanked various staffers and offered a “shout-out” to “Dr. Joe Medicine Crow — that Congressional Medal of Honor winner.” Three minutes in, the president spoke about the shooting, in measured and appropriate terms. Who is advising him?

Let’s not add in that “Dr. Joe Medicine Crow” was awarded the Medal of Freedom, not the Medal of Honor. There’s a difference. It’s big.

The executive Dear in the Headlights. Fantastic.

News reporting now that an Army officer killed 12 people on Fort Hood, and injured another 31. Took half an hour for them to finally state he “had converted to islam”.

Yeah, religion of pieces.

They won’t even say his name yet. I’m sure it’s “mohammed hussein fucknutz” or something to that effect.

Updates:

17:48 Governor Rick Perry just announced it was 3 shooters, at least 9 dead. Still no mention of names. No surprise, I’m sure we already know what they will sound like.

18:03 “Malik Nidal Hassan”. Gee, I wasn’t far off, eh?

19:30 Interview with the murderer’s cousin reveals he did not convert to islam. He was always a mohammedan.

22:30 Now they say the piece of shit is alive. Too bad.
