Crazy Rod & The Media Whores

***Knowing full well that if they interview Crazy Rod the media is ensured to get several sound bites of complete and utter nonsense, this week is Round 2 of Rod Goes to New York!  They still don't understand the process.  They are still not asking him any tough questions.  They are still allowing him to go off half-cocked and sputter endless lies such as the new idea that the Senate offered him a deal to resign. 

Really?  And, nobody reported on this, ever?  Sure, he's telling the truth...

***It is also unclear if Crazy Rod will get a portrait to hang in the hall of Governor's.  Granted, we can't erase the past 6 years of gross negligence and mismanagement, but at least we don't have to shell out one last ego stroke, do we?

***Birkett is looking at running for Governor...or...Attorney General in 2010...where have we heard this guy's name before???  Oh, that's right, he ran in '02 & '06.  Now he wants to run, AGAIN, in '10.  Don't you think the voters of DuPage County would stop returning him to State's Attorney.  He clearly doesn't want the job...

***Daschle is sorry.  Phelps is sorry.  Phelps made a stupid little mistake.  Daschle didn't pay $140,000 in taxes.  Phelps is 23 years old.  Daschle is a former US Senator who has never turned down a tax increase for working America, never turned down a salary increase for the political elite and who constantly wags his finger at the rest of us to 'do better'.

Phelps is getting virtually the same amount of media as Daschle.  This says something about the coastal media.  They're OK w/Daschle apologizing and then moving into DHHS in order to socialize medicine in the US.

And the Dem majority closed ranks around the tax-cheat: Democratic lawmakers, who hold a commanding majority in the Senate, cheered Daschle's apology, standing with him as he addressed his tax problems for the first time since news of the issue leaked Friday.

"The fact is, Tom Daschle remains eminently qualified to serve as secretary of health and human services," Senate Finance Committee Chairman
Max Baucus (D-Mont.) told reporters. "His tax mistakes are regrettable. But his tax mistakes do not change his qualifications to lead on health-care reform."

Baucus said Daschle could get a confirmation hearing next week.

***
NYT actually agrees w/Kelm & Kirk and calls on Daschle to withdraw.  Holy smokes!
