SH> It's been a good week in politics:   
      
    But not for republicans. They are turning on each other. And   
    Breitbart, far right wing icon, has turned on them in spades.   
      
    SH> 1.  Two in one, as we celebrate the mainstream press losing   
    SH> what passes for its mind.  Howard Fineman tells MSNBC's   
    SH> Lawrence O'Donnell that Obama's low approval ratings are   
    SH> the fault of the GOP congress.   
      
    Since the GOP congress has even lower approval ratings...   
      
    SH> ABC's Cokie Roberts, a   
    SH> woman for whom I used to have great respect, says that   
    SH> conservatives want Obama to be a Muslim so they don't have   
    SH> to admit their dislike of a black man.   
      
    It is either that or admit the republicans are so enamored of   
    pure power they are willing to sink this country in their   
    attempt to gain it. The right, note the differentiation between   
    conservatives and right wingers, either are prejudiced against   
    Muslims, against Blacks, or are just willing to exploit bigotry   
    to gain power. Not a whole lot of difference there in any case.   
      
    SH> It takes a special   
    SH> breed of rationalization to be a liberal these days.   
    SH> Seriously, you can't make this stuff up.   
      
    Yes, liberals play too nice.   
      
    SH> 2.  Obama says that there is no silver bullet to bring the   
    SH> price of gas down and then attacks oil companies for making   
    SH> a profit.  Obama must've lost the silver bullet that   
    SH> existed during GW's eight years.   
      
    You mean the years when gas first broke $4/gal back in 2008? I   
    just paid $3.99/Gal, with some stations selling for $4.09/gal,   
    still less than the 2008 peak. Which, BTW, is not inflation   
    adjusted.   
      
    Guess that's when the silver bullet got melted down to make   
    coins to pay for the gas?   
      
    SH> 3.  Notwhithstanding the fact that no Wisconsin recount has   
    SH> reversed an eletion in 30 years, JoAnne Kloppeburg is   
    SH> insiting on one.  Wonder what this meaningless stunt will   
    SH> cost the taxpayers of Wisconsin?   
      
    Since 10,800 republican votes were *DISCOVERED* on the computer   
    of one republican stalwart, and have not been found anywhere   
    else, and since those votes were just enough to kill a free   
    recount, and since the democratic portion of that vote turned   
    out to be exactly 3456, funny sequence there, that recount is   
    hardly meaningless.   
      
    It also turns out the same county clerk had a very similar error   
    in an election in 2006.   
      
    OTOH, since the republicans clearly stole Florida for Bush in   
    2000, which was the second time they took the presidency that   
    way, suspicion is clearly justified in any case.   
      
    SH> 4.  In repsonse to Obama's drone attacks in their country,   
    SH> Pakistan's political leaders will not allow NATO resupply   
    SH> convoys to cross their border.  Remember when Obama was   
    SH> going to bring peace, love and brotherhood to the middle   
    SH> east?   
      
    Since when is Pakistan in the Middle East? Iraq was Bush's mass   
    murder war for oil. Afghanistan was the war that was justified.   
    Pakistan was an unindicted co-conspirator with the Taliban.   
      
    SH> 5.  Google skips Easter.   
      
    Did they?   
      
    SH> 6.  Some leftie moonbat woman paid $7,6000 to heckle Obama   
    SH> in San Francisco.   
      
    How much is 7,6000?   
      
    So, you are saying Obama is too much to the middle? Nice of you   
    to admit it.   
      
    SH> 7.  Scripps Howard and the University of Ohio conduct a   
    SH> poll finding that more than 50 percent of registered   
    SH> democrats believe President Bush knew the 911 attacks were   
    SH> coming (this number includes Otto, by the way).  Any takers   
    SH> on how many of these deluded morons scoff at the birthers?   
      
    They only believe that because they make the mistake of   
    believing GW Bush actually knew anything about what was   
    happening in his administration then.   
      
    It is established fact that the hijacking of airliners was   
    warned about early on in his administration. Using airliners as   
    weapons was predicted before that. Richard Clarke said they had   
    warnings of an imminent attack, but he was not allowed to talk   
    to Bush, or even the cabinet level officials, until just shortly   
    before the attack.   
      
    IOW, Bush didn't know, but he should have.
