Nation of Whiners!

I guess John McCain can't go more than a month without his "economic brain" Phil Gramm.

This is scary

I see via Mark Halperin that the FAA covered up the full-extent of Sen. Obama's emergency plane landing. Thank you God for allowing Sen. Obama's plane to land safely.

Awesome

A 41-page denunciation of all the falsehoods in the Corsi book. I love our nominee! We will not be Swift Boated is reality!

Wingnuts are not society

Even liberals fall into the trap of labeling extreme right-wing views as mainstream. Case in point is Harold Pollack blogging at Ezra Klein's blog:

I won’t bother with the fine points here. Nobody is really arguing about military readiness, any more than the battle about women soldiers concerned cost-benefit analysis of building extra latrines. Kicking out gay Arabic interpreters and the like makes no sense. Almost everyone knows it. This really is about two things: Do we believe that our LBGT brethren are entitled to the rights and obligations of American citizenship? Will we allow a particular socially conservative subculture to repel civilian control over our military?

I don’t see much reason to give ground on either front. And I don't know why our society is so crazy about this subject. [emphasis mine]

Our society isn't crazy. That's why 75% of the country supports openly gay people serving in our military. Wingnuts are crazy.

WTF!

Ahhhhhh! It's killing me! Who's going to be Sen. Obama's VP? Mark Halperin is reporting that Senators Bayh and Biden are speaking on Wednesday (VP day) along with Gov. Richardson. I need more details!

More willfull ignorance

The GOP finds oil in trees. Too bad there isn't any wildlife in ANWR. To quote Sen. Obama: "It's like these guys take pride in being ignorant."

Thank you Sen. Clinton

For engaging in character attacks when you knew you couldn't win. Thank you for enraging your supporters and making them think that John McCain had passed the "Commander-in-Chief threshold" and Sen. Obama hadn't.

From Slate:

When I ask what Obama would have to do to win her over, what she says first is that he'd have to adopt Hillary's health care plan. But by the end of the conversation, we get to the real bottom line, which is that she just doesn't like Obama, sees him as a total poser and nothing-burger who swooped in from nowhere and stole the thing, and all the health care reform in the world is not going to change that. At this point, she's thinking seriously about staying home on Election Day. She is not going to wake up the morning after Hillary's name is placed in nomination and have a whole new lease on Obama. And my guess is, Hillary knows that.

It's just a reminder of all we have to thank Sen. Clinton for when we are discussing the roll call vote.
