Boehner to Obama: See you Thursday

President Obama scheduled his upcoming speech about jobs, jobs, jobs, for Wednesday, September 7, giving very short notice to Congress. As it turns out, that’s also the night the Republicans had scheduled their debate , months ahead of time. That the short notice demand for a Joint Session of Congress was anything other than junior high level one-upmanship was dispelled today when the zero gravity press secretary, Jay Carney, compared the scheduled GOP debate at the Reagan Library with a “wildlife show. ” The President appears to have miscalculated, or forgotten that he had to request authorization to address the country from the House of Representatives. Speaker Boehner’s response? [...]

The GOP Should Have Called Their Debate ‘Dancing with the Stars’

**Written by Doug Powers President Obama must have been pretty impressed with the quality of the lobster Brian Roberts served on the Vineyard, because his spokesman Jay Carney has graciously given NBC permission to move the start time of the GOP debate next Wednesday. This would be so the Republican debate isn’t in direct conflict with the president’s “jobs speech” that just now happens to have been scheduled for the exact same time. According to Carney, the scheduling is just a coincidence (he really should serve fries with those whoppers). However, the network says the start time of the GOP debate won’t be changed : NBC News has confirmed that the Republican presidential debate will go on as scheduled despite President Obama’s request to address a joint session of Congress about his jobs plan at the same time. “One debate of many that’s on one channel of many was not enough of a reason” to pick another date, Carney said [...]

Tim Kaine Shamelessly Fundraising From Suffering Hurricane Irene Victims

Image imagebutton.gif

If Virginians needed a reminder of what a schmuck Tim Kaine is, they need look no further than his most recent fundraising letter. Here is what Kaine had to say about the recent earthquake and hurricane: Two natural disasters – a hurricane and an earthquake – hit Virginia in the past week. Millions lost their power, and countless individuals lost their homes as the floodwaters wreaked havoc on so many of Virginia’s towns and cities. But instead of coming together to provide relief for those who need it, Congressional leaders are holding emergency victims hostage in order to pursue a narrow ideological agenda. [...]
