Southern White Woman Asks President Obama To Do "A Jig"

Sigh.

Mitch McConnell Is a Fucking Liar

This guy has the nerve to say that Obama "got everything he wanted from a compliant for two of those three years" he was president. That is bullshit. In fact, one commenter points out that McConnell & Co. sent Harry Reid a "fuck you" letter pretty much saying the exact opposite.

The man has threatened to block nominees. He said that having a debt deal would require Obama to get out of office. He was happy to see the American Auto Industry sink. He was (and still is) against health care reform.

Mitch McConnell does not care about legislation or governing; he wants Obama out of the White House. And he's spent his entire time in the Senate working to achieve that goal.

...is that there is a slight chance that because she gets Google Alerts about herself she might think this post is some lengthy, upbeat endorsement of her as a person and a celebrity.

On the off chance she is reading this: Kim, I think you should consider taking up art collecting, if you're not already. Good luck!

"Reagan Populist Conservative"

Newt Gingrich is a politician who chooses his words very carefully. That "populist" in "Reagan populist conservative" is meant to attract independents. The "Reagan" is for old-school Republicans. And we all know what the "conservative" stands for (especially after his romp in South Carolina).

We should also know to be very cautious when a Republican labels themselves a "[fill in the blank] conservative" like George W. Bush ("compassionate conservative") did.
