The Naked Emperor revisited.

I mentioned Safe School czar Kevin Jennings in my column last week on Obama’s three Rs – rappin’, revolution, and radicalism last week.
Dr. Warren Throckmorton has done yeomen’s work unearthing Jennings’ evolving tales regarding his failure as a young gay teacher to protect a 15-year old student from a homosexual child predator.
In response to pressure [...]

My column today looks at the political corruption of the Obama Justice Department. With the crime-coddling crony Attorney General Eric Holder in charge, no one should be surprised, of course. Members of Congress who care about electoral integrity need to press the administration on who intervened in the New Black Panther Party case and why. [...]

Going Galt.

Ugh.
The Justice Department filed court papers this morning asking a federal judge to toss out the conviction of former senator Ted Stevens (R-Alaska) on corruption charges.
The move comes as a federal judge was preparing to conduct hearings to probe allegations of prosecutorial misconduct by the team that tried one of the most powerful Republicans [...]

Heckuva job, Timmy.

I really don’t want to hear it later from Senate Republicans if Commerce Secretary nominee Gary Locke gets himself in an ethics mess after he’s approved.
Washington has been warned — not just by me, but by many other close observers of the former Washington state governor who have followed his career marked by sloppy [...]

The Kabuki Theater of Outrage.

“Minor.”

Screw up, move up. It’s how Obama cabinet officials get ahead. And it’s how Washington’s favored failing businesses get more of your money. The first $85 billion bailout under Bush didn’t work. The second $38 billion under Bush didn’t work. So, hey, how about tossing another $30 billion down the hole?
So much for [...]

I was amused to read about Tucker Carlson’s finger-wagging to conservatives at CPAC yesterday — apparently repeating the canard that the Right doesn’t do reporting like the vaunted New York Times and needs to stop “just analyzing things based on what the mainstream media has reported.”
Yeah, he really said we need to copy the New [...]

FAIL.

Scroll down for updates, breakdown of B.O. Republicans voting yes…

(Design by Wes M.)
Screw up, move up. Eric Holder sailed through.
Senate voted 75-21. All NAYS were Republicans.
Stand by for roll call vote. Nearly 20 Bend Over Republicans joined Dems to confirm. Voting yes: GOP Sen. Kit Bond. Why? Because Holder is a “good listener:”
A group of [...]

Sorry.

Before we get to tax cheat Tom Daschle, let’s recall the names of the Bend Over Republicans who pooh-poohed Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner’s tax troubles and accused critics of “thinking in small political terms.”
On the Senate Finance Committee, B.O. Republicans Mike Crapo, Orrin Hatch, John Cornyn, Olympia Snowe and John Ensign all determined that Geithner’s [...]

The Senate Judiciary Committee cleared the way for AG nominee Eric Holder. Only two nay votes — from GOP Senate Republicans John Cornyn and Tom Coburn.
Screw up, move up:
Eric Holder’s nomination as the first African-American attorney general moved to the full Senate on Wednesday with broad bipartisan support, as Republicans who earlier criticized the nominee [...]

Party of supplication.

“…there are other people who have needs as well…”

Looks like our GOP friends are gonna roll!
My column carries the ball forward on the Tim Geithner debacle. Two debacles, really: 1) The serial tax-dodging, ridiculous excuses, and bailout failure of Barack Obama’s Treasury Secretary nominee; and 2) Geithner’s go-along apologists in the Senate GOP. Underscoring the theme of my column today? Read this headline: [...]

“Key strategic error.”

While Republican strategists and Beltway blowhards convene VIP retreats and meetings and save-the-party parties, the road to GOP redemption starts right now. There is opportunity to be seized right now. There is a line in the sand to be drawn.
Right now.
The first step toward GOP redemption is to stop the automakers’ bailout and roll [...]

Dude, where’s your bailout?

Now, you see it. Now, you don’t. Now, you do.

Scroll down for updates…11:44am Eastern Flip-flop count = 2 3 4 (R’s: Wamp, Biggert, Coble, Barrett) 5 (D: Edwards) 18 (see below for full list as of 12:29pm Eastern)…and make sure you scroll down for Maxine Waters’ remarks bragging about the unprecedented loan modification and mortgage-meddling provisions in this crap sandwich: “We’re in charge!”…exactly how [...]

Lead, follow…

“Hank is for Hank.”

There’s really only one thing to say about tonight’s announcement that the weasel feds have changed their minds and will fork over $85 billion to rescue troubled insurer AIG:
(*$&^(&)%(&)*(^&*%&@!!!@#^@!!!!!!!
I listened to a lot of foolish people praising the government earlier today for not giving in to bailout pressure.
I was not one of them.
Why? Because [...]

“Process.”

The sellouts we deserve.

Priorities.
