Stories to Watch: 3/21/11

This has been running pretty regularly on my teevee:



It's an ad from Greater Wisconsin Committee (press release here) against incumbent state Supreme Court Justice David Prosser, up for reelection in just over two weeks. Walker is pretty much toxic at the moment and you hope tying him to Prosser will get people interested in what are usually widely ignored Supreme Court elections.

Now here's (the rest of) the news...

Andrew Sullivan points out a new rightwing meme -- that President Obama military actions in Libya are "liberal," somehow. Of course, the most liberal president of the twentieth century was probably FDR, who won WWII -- so you'd think that fighting like a liberal would be the way you'd want to go. But history is no friend to the rightwing blogosphere.


Taking a break for blaming Obama for America's problems, Sarah Palin takes her show to the middle east, where she scolds Israelis for being too apologetic. This is kind of like criticizing Donald Trump for not talking about himself enough. It's just so contrary to reality.


I related news: score one for security checkpoints, which were apparently enough of a deterrent to prevent Palin from slouching toward Bethlehem.


Apparently, former Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty has a little trouble scaring up minorities to attend his events. No problem though, he fixed it.


Finally, an Arizona Republican goes full-crazy and basically declares there's no such thing as a US citizen. What's that anti-immigration law you guys have down there all about then?
