Hey, Scalia!
-Headline of the day-
"Scalia On Bush v. Gore: Get Over It!"
Supreme Court justice Antonin Scalia tells us to get over the worst and most unjust Supreme Court decision since Dred Scott and expects that to be the final word on the subject? I don't think so.
Wisco to Scalia: "Blow me, Fat Tony!" (CBS)
-Someone explain how this is a bad thing-
Remember Tim Johnson? He's the S. Dakota senator who'd suffered a brain hemorrhage and made everyone wonder whether the slim dem majority in that chamber would swing back right. Remember how he kept his seat during his recovery, frustrating right wing vultures who'd dreamed of regaining the majority? Remember how he was in that recovery, not voting at all, for nearly a year?
Yeah, turns out John McCain has missed more votes than that guy.
Keep up the good work, John. This is your best legislative session ever! (MSNBC)
-Someone give him a kick, he's skipping-
As I wrote earlier, John McCain is in New Orleans today -- which is kind of an invitation to embarrassment.
See, a high profile McCain endorser, end-times nutcase John Hagee, has said that Hurricane Katrina was God's punishment for the sins of that city. John was quick with an answer to a reporter who'd been rude enough to bring that up; "It’s nonsense, it’s nonsense, it’s nonsense, it’s nonsense, it’s nonsense. I don't have anything additional to say. It’s nonsense, it’s nonsense, it’s nonsense, I don’t have anything more to say….it’s nonsense. I reject it categorically."
John McCain was immediately rebooted, the press corps was given tea and cakes, and all agreed that it was just the grandest time any merry band of reporters had ever had, anywhere.
The end. (FOX)
