So STFU about Quayle already… With Joe Buffoon Biden one step away from the presidency, you have nothing to comment about…

you misspelled “quayle.”

As far as Iraq goes, he's been sitting at the desk for 4 months. If he was hardcore serious about changing strategy, he could have at least effected some changes by now…but he hasn't.

I think “independent” lefties are in for some severe disappointment on foreign policy. He talks a new game, but pretty much let's the old game continue.

First, your statement makes the assumption that Dems in the House and Senate are doing whatever Obama wants. We know from yesterdays vote on GBay that this is simply not the case.

Second, sometimes an EO or a piece of legislature cannot simply be backed off. Once you start bailing out people left and right, you simply have to follow through with it in the hopes that it works. Same applies to Iraq.

Think again. A three-year old could figure it out. Calling a truth that you don't want exposed as “paranoid” is the oldest trick in the book. Try again..

Geez, if we can only get Rosie to post here, we'll have a trifecta of wild-eyed paranoids with Sil and shannonlee doing the level best to check reason at the door.

Rudi is the master deflector of the lefty posters………however, at least when he seeks to change the subject from news not going his way he uses humor, not obvious delusion.

Let's think about how that would be conceivable in light of the Dem controlled House, the Hatch Act, the Congressional Review Act of 1996, the fact that any EO can be rescinded as fast as it was signed originally.

Ah, I know, black magic.

Not this time fellas… ; )

Two days ago, polls showing Nancy Pelosi with an approval rating of 39%–two points higher that Cheney's–was taken as a sign of her weakness.

I'm sure Cheney's willingness to speak out is earning him some respect. Although I wonder about the effects of reports indicating that torture has become a problem for Pelosi.

As for Cheney…I guess that Extenze stuff really works.

This is a pretty big understatement. President Obama should worry more about settling down the folks on the left, as the current version of the Repubs is locked in the mad house. From David Broder:

“The predictable result has been the first sustained outcry from the left, angry denunciations from leaders of constituencies that had been early supporters. They feel betrayed as they watch him continuing, with minor modifications, the policies and practices of his Republican predecessor.”

That second sentence should be emphasized: 'continuing the policies and practices of his Republican predecessor'. Broder isn't the only one to say that. There was that New Republic piece that's been cited a few times here, and of course you can always count on Karl Rove in today's 'Wall Street Journal'. The left should start holding Obama's feet to the fire, instead of constantly focusing on the dysfunction across the aisle. Otherwise, we'll all end up getting the same thing that so many were railing against when Bush was doing it.

Oh no! Don't tell me we're losing the uninformed college kids that live off of their parents! How can you respect a party that caters to the sniveling group of future baristas that comprise the group often referred to as younger voters?

This country is screwed!
