Stories to Watch: 12/11/11

Shorty today. It's Sunday, for one, which is always light in the best case. For another, everything seems to be about last night's debate. Since you can get debate coverage just about anywhere, I'm going to play clean up with mostly other stories. Now here's the news...


Being reported everywhere: new NBC News-Marist polls show Newt Gingrich opening up a big lead over Mitt Romney in S. Carolina and Florida. Under-reported everywhere: the same polls show that President Obama would beat either in both states. Part of the reason (in S. Carolina at least) is probably that Tea Party Gov. Nikki Haley sucks. I doubt Florida's Rick Scott's approvals are any better.


Newt Gingrich is seen as the winner of last night's GOP debate, by virtue of not losing.


Climate talks in Durban reach a deal -- a pointless deal that doesn't solve the problem.


Mitch McConnell tells a hilarious joke: "Look, [the Republican Party is] not here to defend high-income people." Stop it, Mitch! You're killing me!


Christian nutjobs are staging home invasions, kidnappings, and assaults to spread the glorious Love of Christ and the Word of the Prince of Peace.


Michele Bachmann reached adulthood at the age of 5. That's what she says, anyway.

Stories to Watch: 9/9/11

Dana Milbank found the reception of Republicans to President Obama's job speech insulting. Hard to take issue with that.


Meanwhile, the White House trying to head off the entirely predictable cherrypicking approach to passage of his jobs bill.


South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley is a shameless liar -- which makes sense, since she's a 'bagger.


How badly does the State of Wisconsin want state employees to keep the existence of free voter IDs a secret? So badly that one state employee was fired for emailing that info. Anyone who thinks this isn't about voter suppression is an idiot.



Rep. Paul Ryan is a jackass
.


Newt Gingrich doesn't seem to understand that his campaign for the GOP nomination died weeks -- if not months -- ago.


If John Boehner's scheduling pissiness was meant to keep people from watching Obama's jobs speech, he failed.


Oh for fuck's sake... "Astrotweeting?" Can't we have just one thing that shameless liars, soulless political ops, and lobbyists don't try to screw up?


Finally, Matt Drudge is a racist jerk. Don't read Drudge Report. Ever.
