   You don’t need to be too alert to cover somebody reading a teleprompter.

   A) Red Bull.
   B) That’s a female?

   PS – I had ~9 12 oz Red Bulls the weekend at the Borgata.
   I thought I was going to have a heart attack on Sat night.

   Jeepers.

   As far as I can tell, she gave the proceeding the attention and respect it deserved. Being stuck in a room with Mr. Gibbs in it must be tedious indeed.

    Well, what do you expect? With Mr. Perfect as president, there’s no story to scoop. When Bush was president, you had to stay awake so you could fester and get angry every time Bush picked a wedgie, or mispronounced a word, or had some beheader killed. But with “The One”, it’s smooth sailing, baby!

    Nothing to see here…

    It is Laura Meckler from the WSJ. Look at the third picture in this link. Isn’t that one on your side?

    Also, apparently she is pregnant. I will leave it to other commenter with more direct experience to opine whether this explains the case of the sleepys.

    Michael Steele is pro-abortion.

    He needs to wait a week or two, so Limbaugh won’t be blamed, and quit, for the good of the party.

    If not, he must be booted. We don’t need the male version of Christine Todd Whitman or Olympia Snowe running the party.

    I admit, I was excited when he was chosen, he sounded good guest hosting for Bennett, but he is a typical Northeast (aka Arlen Specter) RINO, and needs to go.

    Conyers plans hearings on voting rights

    House Judiciary Committee Chairman John Conyers Jr. is planning on holding hearings into a recent Supreme Court decision limiting the scope of the Voting Rights Act.

    “We’re trying to understand the parameters of the setback,” Conyers (D-Mich.) said in an interview.

    In a 5-4 decision led by the conservative wing of the court, Justice Anthony Kennedy found the landmark civil rights legislation doesn’t require states to draw “crossover” districts that would include enough voters who would vote for minority candidates to allow the minority bloc to elect a minority candidate.

    The Supreme Court ruled Monday that minority voters don’t qualify for a key protection of the Voting Rights Act (VRA) unless they constitute a majority of voters in a district.

    The decision could have a significant impact on the 2010 round of redistricting.

    I’m glad to know that Congressional districts may be drawn to represent the broad strata of residents, and not guarantee that working folks who pay taxes will be required to elect Democrats who represent non-workers on the public teat.

    Sleeepiness is most acute in the first trimester. Since we do not know details about her condition, nor do we want to know, we can only speculate if it was the topic, the presenter or hormones that put her to sleep.

    Agreed, ED, it looks like we will have to pick our candidates one-by-one without any help/leadership from GOP. I am certainly not handing them money until they get with the program.

    Once again its the grass-roots not only having to re-build a base of voters, but also having to lead it too…so be it.

    I do find it very annoying that the party leadership has had so many opportunities to ream the democrats into political oblivion (at least compared to an earlier era), and yet still fail to take adavantage of this ..the latest being “Puppet” Steele.

    Don’t want to get to OT here, but he also spewed a rather uninformed position on gays in the same interview.

    Steele has a grand total of two years experience in politics as a lt. governor, and he is not running for anything. Why is he articulating GOP platform positions? He’s spending to little time organizing and leading and way too much time talking. Just saying.

    If she’s preggo, I’d cut her some slack. I remember when Mrs Twofoot was preggo with the boys… Wow. And that’s all I have to say about those memories.

    On the other hand, if she is pregnant… Well, as was pointed out by the womens libbers on the left during the campaign, how dare she think she can continue to do such an important job while pregnant or with a newborn.

    Do they really need a PC? Just email the transcript to the press corps, then they can cut-n-paste it into MS Word and send it to their editor.

    Not like they really ask any important questions, hold anyone’s feet to the fire or anything that takes a few brain cells like that…
