MICHAEL STEELE WORD SALAD
"The goal of this party from its inception about inclusion. How do I know that...well, Dan, it’s a pretty inclusive idea to say that black people are human beings and should not be slaves. When all the world was saying they are, our party said they’re not and they fought for it, and not only did they fight for it, they included it in such things like the Constitution...and the Bill of Rights...and they made it very clear and defined very clearly that we are one nation under God, indivisible, free. And that included everybody, and I think now is the time for us as a party to get back to one of those core principles - that one being paramount."

"Washington Times executive editor John Solomon responds, telling TPMmuckraker that the email was sent not by the paper's newsroom staff but by a marketing employee doing booking for the radio show.
Solomon admitted that describing the show as "friendly ground" for Sanford was a "poor choice of words," adding: "We don't view ourselves as friendly or unfriendly, we view ourselves as fair."
But he said that the employee was reminding Sanford's office that the governor had recently appeared on the show, rather than implying that he would receive favorable treatment."

digby says.....
This is from a TIME magazine review of Gerald Posner's book Why America Slept from 2003, in which he was portrayed as a great Al Qaeda mastermind who blew the lid off the Al Qaeda and Saudi royal family connection. But there are some actual facts involved which make one curious as to whether or not Cheney and the boys might have thought they really had something --- and acted upon it:
In Posner's stark judgment, the Saudis "effectively had (bin Laden) on their payroll since the start of the decade." Zubaydah told the interrogators that the Saudis regularly sent the funds through three royal-prince intermediaries he named.
The last eight paragraphs of the book set up a final startling development. Those three Saudi princes all perished within days of one another. On July 22, 2002, Prince Ahmed was felled by a heart attack at age 43. One day later Prince Sultan bin Faisal bin Turki al-Saud, 41, was killed in what was called a high-speed car accident. The last member of the trio, Prince Fahd bin Turki bin Saud al-Kabir, officially "died of thirst" while traveling east of Riyadh one week later. And seven months after that, Mushaf Ali Mir, by then Pakistan's Air Marshal, perished in a plane crash in clear weather over the unruly North-West Frontier province, along with his wife and closest confidants.
Obviously, this is all just Ouija Board stuff. But it is an intriguing reminder of just how rudiculously credulous both the government and the press were in those early days. Anything was possible. Certainly, assassinating Saudi princes is a hell of a lot more credible as something that would make Pete Hoekstra choke than orders for special forces to kill bin Laden in the dead of night. Talk about not passing the smell test ...

PALIN/SANFORD 2012
"f Sarah Palin is resigning her position as Alaska's Governor to run for president, she faces doubts – even from Republicans – about her ability to be an effective one, according to a new CBS News poll.
Less than one in four Americans, 22 percent in particular, say she does have the ability to be an effective president. Only 33 percent of Republicans say she does. Sixty five percent of all Americans, and 51 percent of Republicans say she does not.
In this CBS News Poll, conducted one week after Palin announced she would resign, these assessments are even more negative than they were among registered voters before last year's presidential election. Then, 37 percent of all registered voters thought Palin could be effective if it became necessary for her to take on the job, and 53 percent did not...read on"

"A majority of Americans believe that Sarah Palin is resigning as governor of Alaska not because it's in the best interest of her state but because it will benefit her political career, a new CBS News poll finds.
Just 24 percent of those accept Palin's explanation that she resigned because it was the right thing to do for Alaska. More than twice that percentage – 52 percent – cited her political ambition as the reason for her resignation. An additional 14 percent said they don't know the reason.
Even Republicans are skeptical of the explanation, with a higher percentage saying Palin resigned for her political career (36 percent) than saying she did so for Alaska (31 percent)."

Bush's full quote then was:

Graham goes on the warpath against Sotoma.
Too bad the Dems didn't have her mom coached to run out of the room in tears.

I didn't realize Sotomayor had been nominated to the Saudi Supreme Court
She isn't.... the Saudis have taken over the Senate.

USA Today/Gallup poll:
When it comes to financing the costs, six of 10 favor the idea of requiring employers to provide health insurance for their workers or pay a fee instead. Increasing income taxes on upper-income Americans, an approach backed by House Ways and Means Chairman Charles Rangel, D-N.Y., is endorsed by 58%. Just over half support taxing sugary soft drinks.
On The Ed Show, repuke Susan Molinari unable to defend Jayuff Sayshuns' remark about how Sotomayor should have voted with "the other Puerto Rican," saying she's glad to be hoarse.

When you're a Jet, You're the swingin'est thing:Little boy, you're a man;Little man, you're a king!
The Jets are in gear,Our cylinders are clickin'!
The Sharks'll steer clear
'Cause ev'ry Puerto Rican's a lousy chicken!
Here come the Jets Like a bat out of hell.Someone gets in our way,Someone don't feel so well! Here come the Jets: Little world, step aside!
Better go underground, Better run, better hide!
We're drawin' the line,
So keep your noses hidden!
We're hangin' a sign,
Says "Visitors forbidden"
And we ain't kiddin'!

Graham goes on the warpath against Sotoma...From there, some of the senator's questioning got a bit bizarre -- he went into a digression about rule of law in Muslim countries
He wants to make sure he gets more Oriental rugs.

I think Palin is far too thin skinned to succeed on the national stage.
Fuck that. She's too thin skinned for this blog.
Of course, kind of hard to tell which is the tougher crowd.

I apply for something every day (1-3 jobs, on average, all local or work-from-home), and I can't say I'm encouraged.
Jeffraham, public option
I've been searching on-line. Most places ask you to post a resume - and write a freakin' cover letter! - and then send it to unnamed place. Then I never hear from them.
I've also mailed out a bunch of resumes. Nuttin'.

I'm drinking Liberally at the rubicon, 20th & Capital Sacramento, where Tuesday is $2.50 Pint Night! It's 105 in the degrees out, and we're all being Shock Doctrined 24/7 thanks to Der Gropenfuehrer. On the other hand, the Beer's good-n-cold and the Pres just threw out the first pitch of the All-Star game, and the company here is a real good mix of folks. Cheers!
