Going-In Position: The Opposite Of Jim Moran’s Ideas Are Good Ones

by Smitty (via Lee Hernly) VA-8’s Clown Prince of Goofballs, “Gentleman” Jim Moran, can be relied upon to touch his forehead to the deck whenever required for the President: Rep. Jim Moran sounded a similar warning Friday. The Virginia Democrat said the McConnell proposal “is not about what’s in the best interest of the country” […]

Pig Skin In The Game

by Smitty The Blaze notes that even the overpaid prima donnas of the NFL managed to get their act together and finish negotiations. Unlike the clowns inside the flat bowl outlined by the beltway. <rant> Other than the effort to win re-election, these political football players don’t have enough skin in the game. I’d like […]

Holy Freaking Crap: White House Spokesman Admits It’s Just Kabuki? UPDATED: Now With Video

Headline at Ace of Spades HQ quotes Jay Carney: To Even Ask That The President Show His Plan Is To Repeat a “Republican Talking Point” Which is, of course, a blunt confession that Obama is concerned about nothing but politics.

Let’s be clear: President Obama has orchestrated this unnecessary drama for the specific political purpose of causing a crisis that he — with the willing assistance of the liberal media — hopes to blame on Republicans. Yet while Obama, the Democrats and the media (but I repeat myself) are scripting a kabuki dance, economic reality […]

What Happened to ‘No Drama Obama’?

Turned the TV on this afternoon to try to get some news about the Oslo terrorism attacks and instead, I get a hectoring and angry President Obama. It appears that House Speaker John Boehner has found his spine and isn’t going to be bullied into raising taxes, and this has driven the president into paroxyms […]

The Terrible Legislative Catastrophe No One Will Remember in November 2012

For weeks we’ve endured non-stop sturm und drang about the debt-ceiling crisis, and the tightrope negotations between President Obama and Republican leaders in Congress: President Obama and House Speaker John A.
