 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.
