lol remember when that dude was supposed to be on the supreme court

I could actually understand this rhetoric if it were about Scalia, a person I fundamentally disagree with and find ideologically reprehensible, yet still manages to come across in his public appearances as a charming, rational person willing to explain his viewpoint.

I agree with this, but am still hoping that he dies so Thomas and Alito won't know how to vote.

Thomas is more conservative than Scalia wtf.

Panetta Hearing [Marc Thiessen]

Panetta just said that if they caught Osama bin Laden, they would find a place to hold him briefly, give him access to the International Red Cross, and use the Army Field Manual to question him.

If we had followed this policy when Khalid Sheikh Mohammed was captured, we would have gotten no information from him – and America would have been attacked again.

Marc Thiessen is Dick Cheney under a pussier pseudonym, isn't he?

Quantum of Solis [David Freddoso]

The Heritage Foundation’s Hans von Spakovsky points out a possible House ethics violation [...]

you don't even need any more than that, so funny

Barack Obama Has Failed [Jonah Goldberg]
A few readers misunderstand my point in today's column. I'm sure we will get a stimulus bill. I'm sure Obama will count it as a victory. But the magic is gone, or at least an important part of the magic is gone. By accepting the stimulus bill and, now, fighting for it the way he had since I wrote the column, he's made it clear he's a just a Democratic president wth a conventional liberal agenda. He will have victories, to be sure. But he's blown an important moment in his presidency, and moments are very hard to get back. He has had his "behold, a God who bleeds moment."

Jonah is really breaking bold new ground in concern troll annals.

he's made it clear he's a just a Democratic president wth a conventional liberal agenda.

I'm sure if you go back through Jonah's posts during the campaign, you'll find that he was totally giving Obama the benefit of the doubt on this point until just now

Marc Thiessen is Dick Cheney

He was a Bush White House speechwriter, so yeah. And he's been pushing these factually unsupported arguments re specific terror plots that waterboarding of detainees allegedly prevented in newspaper op-eds

Re: Jobs Numbers [Grover Norquist]

The economy as measured by the market and businesses’ willingness to hire does not sound very excited by the Reid/Pelosi/Obama spending spree.

The economy began to collapse when the Democrats captured the House and Senate and we then knew that the lower tax rates on individuals, capital gains, and dividends would end after 2010.

We are in the early stages of the Reid/Obama/Pelosi recession and nothing they are even talking about doing will help.

srsly these guys are so fucking predictable

"reid/obama/pelosi recession"

on rush limbaugh (with guest host) today i learned that the 2008 economy was all clinton's fault, 2009's gonna be obama's obviously

A Very Stimulating Red Meat [NRO Staff]

Jim Geraghty and Mark Hemingway talk about the economic stimulus and how this ordeal has revealed President Obama to be, alas, merely human.

^^^ totally loving this line right now. "lol he's totally NOT not the angelic overman we all lied to ourselves that liberals believed he is. two weeks in, epic fail amirite??"

haha i know

every right winger is like WELL, HE'S HUMAN AFTER ALL NOW

http://yglesias.thinkprogress.org/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/cornerreagankilmer.gif

lolololol

he's made it clear he's a just a Democratic president wth a conventional liberal agenda.

i'm not sure if it occurs to jonah that a lot of people voted for obama because of this.

Jonah, likes Morbs, thinks we all voted for him because he's OUR NEW GOLDEN GOLD!

I actually figure he was directing that comment more at Obamacons or whatever the catchphrase was supposed to be.

And I would hope gold was golden, yes.

Even aside from the lol juxtaposition of the Reagan - Al Franken headlines, how quickly they forget about:

Fred "Gopher" Grandy (R-IA)
Fred Dalton Thompson (R-TN)
Sonny Bono (R-CA)
Arnold Schwarzenegger (R-CA)
Jim Bunning (R-KY)

Yeah, blame Al Franken for it. God, seriously, fuck these fucking fuckers.

The whole Republican celebrity-actor-cum-politician thing is more interesting itself than the loljuxtaposition, since Franken is the first Democrat celebrity-actor-cum-politician in a very long time. So, to me, it was just more partisan zzzzzzzzzzz from The Corner as usual.

They've moved on to ranking the best conservative movies:

Heartbreak Ridge (1986): Clint Eastwood’s foul-mouthed Marine sergeant Tom Highway makes quick work of kicking Communist Cubans out of Grenada. And, boy, does “Gunny” hate Commies. Not only does he kill quite a few, he also refuses a bribe of a Cuban cigar, saying: “Get that contraband stogie out of my face before I shove it so far up your a** you’ll have to set fire to your nose to light it.” A welcome glorification of Reagan’s decision to liberate Grenada in 1983, the film also notes how after a tie in Korea and a loss in Vietnam, America can finally celebrate a military victory. Eastwood, the old war horse, walks off into retirement pleased that he’s not “0–1–1 anymore.” Semper Fi. Oo-rah!

holy shit

Constitutional Amendment Idea [Iain Murray]

Just a thought off the top of my head; how about an amendment to Article I, Section 7 that reads:

Before voting on any Bill, a Senator or Representative shall certify to the President of the Senate or Speaker of the House respectively that they have read the Bill in full.

Or something like that?

This is inspired by Tom Coburn pointing out that to read the porkulus bill in its entirety out aloud would take the Senate Clerk 31.5 hours. Yet this monstrosity is going to be foisted on the American public today. The contempt for the legislative process is shocking.

lol patriot act

how are they supposed to certify? book report? questionnaire?

POP QUIZ, HOTSHOT! In Section 3, Subsection A, Paragraph IV . . .

Hahaha suddenly Bush apologists favor actually reading stuff in full and not just working off of summaries

ha they keep going on the idea too:

Re: Constitutional Amendment Idea [Iain Murray]

I believe there is such an option, Andy, as Sen. McConnell exercized something like it last year when he required that the entire Boxer Amendment to the Lieberman-Warner climate bill be read out in full. What that meant was that clerks took turns reading out pages and pages (800ish in total, if I recall correctly) of unintelligible amendments to an empty house. I don't know—and perhaps a parliamentarian could enlighten us—whether this was only allowed because it was an amendment or whether it is allowed in all cases. Even so, it would not rise to the level I demand of my representatives, unless they are forced to sit there and listen to it. Actually, perhaps that's a more attractive idea!

funny it's a lot like the bork cocktail bullshit upthread -- what looks to them like brilliant political theater looks to sane people like mitch mcconnell being a petty jerkoff

oh here we fuckin GO

We Are All Fascists Now [Michael Ledeen]

It's not surprising that Newsweek won't call the dramatic expansion of state power over the private sector by its proper name: it's fascism, not socialism (which rests on the abolition of private property). To be sure, the political consequences—loss of individual liberty, concentration of wealth and regulatory clout in the central government—are much the same, which is the main point. Much more here, and more to come. Much more.

btw i am friends with k-lo on facebook now

that's a hell of btw

Much more to come. Much more.

Ledeen got fired by the AEI or something? Maybe even they were tired of him.

These guys' indifference to silly things such as conflicts of interest almost elicits my respect. As I read Lou Cannon's Reagan biography, Ledeen's name pops up all over the place as an NSC lackey with some low-level involvement in the Iran part of Iran contra.

as much as i love the corner theyre gettin murdered by town hall lately

http://townhall.com/columnists/KevinMcCullough/2009/02/15/what_liberals_share_with_rapelay?page=full

In the game Rapelay, reviewers have stated that the player must first sexually assault a mother character and her two daughters before being allowed to then "pick" their next series of victims.

In the Congress of Washington DC liberals have seen to it that our mothers and daughters will have less money in the home budget working for their protection and welfare.

In the game Rapelay the reviews indicate that the rapist can even convince one of the animated computer characters that they like what's happening to them.

In Washington DC liberals in Congress sent their lapdog "Mr. President" out to the masses to do the same thing.

In the game, players take what is not theirs and laugh about the outcome.

In Washington DC, liberals take what is not theirs and laugh at the stupid people that gave it to them.

I've tried to be as tasteful as possible in explaining this comparison, and due to the passion of the natural man that was not an easy thing to do!

is he on some nietzschean nazi vibe?

btw i am friends with k-lo on facebook now

so jealous of max

OMG that Rapelay thing is like the political nutjob version of a Bill Plaschke column.

I hope this means some sort of politically themed Fire Joe Morgan-type site is not far off.
