House repugicans having jobs summit with architects of the failed shrub economic policy
You can't make this stuff up!
The economy is in a shambles because of the mess created by the failed policies of the shrub and the Dick. Democrats have been trying to dig out of this disaster for the past year. Today, Obama is holding a jobs summit at the White House. The House repugicans are having one of their own:
John Boehner (retard-Ohio) has scheduled an "economic roundtable" today, to compete with the White House's job summit. Roll Call reported, "A spokesman for Boehner said the purpose of the meeting is to give a platform for economists who have a different perspective on how Obama's agenda has affected the economy."
And who are these experts?
Apparently, House repugicans have turned to "former shrub cabal memebers and McCain campaign staffers, who have advocated disastrous tax and budget policies."
So, to summarize, less than a year from the cabal was ousted, congressional repugicans believe it's time to re-embrace the shrub/Dick agenda that didn't work, and listen to the architects of the shrub/Dick agenda that didn't work.
The thing that really sucks is that if Democrats don't fix the economy and create more jobs by next fall, the elections could be a disaster. That will empower the same repugicans who destroyed the economy in the first place. It's as if the repugican economic plan is also their 2010 campaign plan: Ruin the economy in order to defeat Democrats.
Teabagger, the movie
This is an actual trailer for a new documentary about the Teabaggers.
This isn't a joke.
It's an actual serious documentary taking the Teabaggers seriously.
The trailer is bizarre.
These people are insane.
And dangerous.

Franken 'fallout' has the repugicans fuming
He made the whole repugican party into rapist sympathizers
The repugicans are pissed at Franken because decent people are using a measure he sponsored to paint them as rapist sympathizers - and because Franken isn’t doing much to stop them ...
As a comedian, talk show host and best-selling author, Franken showcased his ability to dress down repugicans with devastating attacks.
Since becoming a senator in July, Franken has publicly tried to maintain a distance from that image - and aides are quick to note that Franken had nothing to do with coordinating the barrage of attacks waged against the repugicans.
But some of his new repugican colleagues argue that the amendment is being grossly mischaracterized - and has spawned attacks like the satirical website RepublicansforRape.org - and now question whether Franken is doing a good job of separating his past from his current line of work.
Full Story
*****
But as Bartcop had to say: Franken didn't make you sons of bitches look bad - you did it to yourself when you sided with Halliburton over the women they drugged and raped.

Family Research Council lies claiming Obama has a ‘plan’ to ‘impose homosexuality’.
Only there is no such thing as 'Family' or 'Research' about this 'council'.
Tom Coburn (reptile - Oklahoma) lies to seniors telling them 'You’re going to die soon’ if the health care reform passes.
And they're laughing their asses off at him, too.
