So I’m hearing.
UPDATE: NBC is confirming. NPR has it.
Here’s what I wrote about this a little while back:
But, should a Supreme Court vacancy come up – which is more likely than not to happen a few times over the next 8 years – you must nominate a competent, well qualified liberal to the bench. We [...]

“Secession-ready Texas has received most federal disaster assistance of any state.”
Wish we’d quit acting like conservatives are an actual thing and not a big episode of punk’d.

Michael Steele’s Personal Friends & Family Piggy Bank

That’s what donors to the RNC seem to be putting their money in when they contribute. But then, if you’re the kind of person who would donate to the Republican party…
John Edwards Is A Douchebag

First of all, for what he did to his family. Clearly inexcusable. But also what he almost did to America. Had Edwards somehow attained the Democratic nomination, this story would have surely killed his candidacy and elected John McCain. I can’t believe what an asshole this guy is.

Yes. Yes, he is demanding that we take back the Panama Canal. Yes.
This one? This one is a bonus:
Lest you think that pushing Sean Hannity and the program he hosts as intellectualism is some kind of liberal invention George Soros gave to me this morning, look no further than the Heritage Foundation’s own website.
GOP Pulled Anti-Obama Video

This is a video the GOP apparently put up on Youtube, then pulled down. It’s pretty darn lame. This is almost sad.

From his town hall today:
“When you see, you know, those of you that are watching certain news channels on which I’m not very popular, and you see folks waving tea bags around, let me just remind them that I am happy to have a serious conversation about how we are going to cut our health [...]

… Barack Obama’s approval ratings would be higher lower. This is the sort of thing that Washington Examiner’s conservative Washington correspondent Byron York gets paid actual American dollars to observe.
Hey, Byron, what if we made a black vote worth 3/5 of a white one? No?

Listening to Republicans and conservatives try their best to convince themselves that yes, dropping down to 40 seats in the Senate is totally a plus for them. None of them actually believe this, but its cute nonetheless.

Michael Steele is doing such an awesome job as RNC chairman that there is a movement underway to take away the power he has over the party’s finances.
Awesome.
Olympia Snowe NY Times Op-Ed On Specter Defection

The upside for Democrats is that they won’t listen to a word of what Sen. Snowe says.
I have said that, without question, we cannot prevail as a party without conservatives. But it is equally certain we cannot prevail in the future without moderates.
In that same vein, I am reminded of a briefing by a prominent [...]

Its like the American people support their president after years of being misled. Oh, that’s exactly what it is.
The poll finds yet another jump in the portion of the public that sees the nation headed in the right direction, despite the continued hard times, to the point where survey participants are now evenly divided between [...]

It’s great that this genius is the head of the Whig Republican party. I mean, thinking ahead? Totally for losers.
