Vice President Cheney has been the most dangerous vice president we've had probably in American history. The idea he doesn't realize that Article I of the Constitution defines the role of the vice president of the United States, that's the Executive Branch. He works in the Executive Branch. He should understand that. Everyone should understand that.

And the primary role of the vice president of the United States of America is to support the president of the United States of America, give that president his or her best judgment when sought, and as vice president, to preside over the Senate, only in a time when in fact there's a tie vote. The Constitution is explicit.

The only authority the vice president has from the legislative standpoint is the vote, only when there is a tie vote. He has no authority relative to the Congress. The idea he's part of the Legislative Branch is a bizarre notion invented by Cheney to aggrandize the power of a unitary executive and look where it has gotten us. It has been very dangerous.

^^gonna be awkward

be funny if he doesn't show him anything but like the first two or three rooms, the rest are all padlocked up

only the big hoos could excelsior himself and get away with it

Not from The Corner, but close enough. K-hammer:

Liberals have always wanted the auto companies to produce the kind of cars they insist everyone should drive: small, light, green and cute. Now they will have the power to do it.

because the market has treated them so well, as they churned out pickups, SUVs and nu-muscle cars?

why is this man allowed to write about economics?

oh it's krauthammer, i thought it was kudlow for a second

you want economic hilarity:

why is this man allowed to write

I can't wait for when the newspapers fail and liberals are accused of LETTING IT HAPPEN because of dissenting print voices like krauthammer and kristol and brooks

xps yeah that vid has been making the rounds, so amazing. it's almost as if the party of 'market discipline' is just a bunch of clueless cheerleaders for the wants of the rich or something

In World War II, government had the auto companies turning out tanks. Now they would be made to turn out hybrids. The difference is that, in the middle of a world war, tanks have a buyer. Will hybrids? One of the reasons Detroit is in such difficulty is that consumers have been resisting the smaller, less powerful, less safe cars forced on the industry by fuel-efficiency mandates. Now Detroit would be forced to make even more of them.

If you think we have economic troubles today, consider the effects of nationalizing an industry of this size, but now run by bureaucrats issuing production quotas to fit five-year plans to meet politically mandated fuel-efficiency standards — to lift us to the sunny uplands of the coming green utopia.

hands up if you have heard anyone anywhere propose nationalizing the auto manufacturers

to pick out one of the not-true sentences there, which includes all of them.

I proposed it the other day for teh lulz

the idea that detroit is in trouble because people aren't buying hybrids is like saying reagan died because of term limits or something

that youtube is incredible

wow, holy shit. Has Fox had a "we're sorry we ever doubted you, Schiff" segment yet? With public flaying of Ben Stein?

my favorite is the part where they all mention the financial companies ppl should be investing in and how its such a great steal

dude even mentions bear stearns although he admits its the riskier one

and the one dude who says invest in wamu!!!

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/10/15/AR2008101503166.html?hpid=opinionsbox1

dude is into the blame the-government-for-encouraging-home-ownership theory though

haha josh marshall basically echoes krauthammer...

Second, on the question of the environment. There is no question that the internal combustion engine is at the heart of the climate crisis. But getting rid of Detroit won't get rid of cars. More to the point of creativity -- one of the things about crisis is that it opens opportunities would never exist in normal times. People have been looking for ways to get Detroit to get serious about developing cleaner, more fuel efficient cars for years. At this point, we're beyond that. We need to get serious about cars that don't use gas at all. If the whole domestic auto industry is all but asking to be taken into federal receivership, that tells me that the people running the federal government now have quite a lot of leverage.

I don't pretend to know the mechanics or precise solutions. But these are times that call for boldness -- and more than just boldness, which gets said a lot -- but creativity to rises to the challenge of the moment.

Frum's leaving:

In an interview, he said he planned to leave the magazine, where he writes a popular blog, to strike out on his own on the Web.

“The answers to the Republican dilemma are not obvious and we need a vibrant discussion,” he said. “I think a little more distance can help everybody do a better job of keeping their temper.”

Later in that piece:

Mr. Frum said deciding to leave was amicable, but distancing himself from the magazine founded by his idol, Mr. Buckley, was not a hard decision. He said the controversy over Governor Palin’s nomination for vice president was “symbolic of a lot of differences” between his views and those of National Review’s.

“I am really and truly frightened by the collapse of support for the Republican Party by the young and the educated,” he said.

Lowry can't resist the yuks:

“We’ve always had rigorous internal debates,” he said. “But the advent of the blogosphere and e-mail and the rest of it have made it easier to blast out their impassioned instant reactions.

“It’s discomfiting, but it’s the world we live in, unless someone — Al Gore? — can uninvent the Internet.”

Let's Go Crazy (Not) [Maggie Gallagher]

The Artist Currently Known as Prince has a profile in The New Yorker. " So here's how it is: You've got the Republicans and basically they want to live according to this." and Prince points to a Bible. "But there's the problem of interpretation. . . .And then on the opposite end of the spectrum . . .you've got the Democrats, and they're like, 'You can do whatever you want.' Gay marriage, whatever. But neither of them is right."
So what's right in terms of gay marriage and abortion? Prince tapped his Bible and said, "God came to earth and saw people sticking it wherever and doing it with whatever, and he just cleared it all out. He was, like 'Enough.'"

oh man

You gotta draw the line at wherever.

prince in being crazy asshole shockah

sticking it wherever: dud
miming sticking it wherever, with guitar: lucrative

seriously prince is so annoying as a person. worst ever.

sticking it wherever and doing it with whatever

This should be a lost 80's Prince song.

is he still a jehovah's witness?

anyway, mr. rogers nelson sir:

People call me rude, I wish we were all nude
I wish there was no black and white, I wish there were no rules

God, what I wouldn't give for Lowry, K-Lo, Steyn et al to take sides: Around The World in a Day vs Parade.

The plot thickens...

http://perezhilton.com/2008-11-17-prince-was-misquoted-the-singers-camp-claims

Contrary to what a recent interview with the New Yorker is reporting, a source close to the rocker tells us that Prince was grossly misquoted and misinterpreted as not down with gay rights.

Apparently, the interviewer did not even use a recorder when she spoke with His Holy Purpleness, and that when she called his people to fact check, it turned out she had several factual inaccuracies, including a little bit about Prince recovering from hip surgery, which he never even had. Like Prince is really made of bones or something and not nebulous gold glitter - come on!

What His Purpleness actually did was gesture to the Bible and said he follows what it teaches, referring mainly to the parts about loving everyone and refraining from judgment.

That sounds better, considering he's a man who caused his own Controversy!

"We're very angry he was misquoted," says our Prince insider.

No tape recorder? How unprofessional!

I don't really buy Perez as a credible source.

Interviewees are always like that. "I didn't say that! They mischaracterized my words! Blah blah blah."

Would it be crazy to suggest that Prince bans the use of microphones when he's interviewed? What a perfect foil.

"He didn't even use a microphone! (because it was on my rider)"

quoting Krikorian quoted by and what

Paul D. alerted me to a Richard Pryor skit from his show in 1977 where he was the president conducting a press conference that, like everything else I've seen by Pryor, manages to be both unfunny and so chock full of stereotypes it might as well have been produced by the Klan.

I just can't see why Frum wants to leave NRO. ;_;

Jonah Goldberg now begins the task of dealing with why people in the government will not listen to him.
