Marching in a Straight Line

Maher gets it right sometimes, and in this one he’s dead on -

Maher is beginning to tap into the rising tide of frustration with the inability of Congress and President Obama to get things done. Eight months into this Presidency, a lot of time, good will, and effort has been squandered.

If the Democrat Party were operated like a well run corporation, right about now, the entire contingent of elected Democrat officials in the House and Senate would be locked into one of those large conference rooms at the Hermitage for a “Come to Jesus” meeting…

And wouldn’t be let out until there was complete agreement on accomplishing a list of 5 objectives in the following 7 days.

And no – you don’t serve coffee, tea, or those cute little canapes until it’s done.

No Cajones Obama

Well, the Rethugs successfully lynched Van Jones…

And it was a lynching in every sense of the word.

Supposedly for his comments about Republicans.

Once again the Dems run like a scalded mutt with its tail between it’s legs.

Be nice if the Dems could grow a freaking pair for a change.

Original Post -

It appears that “Cold Cash” will be headed to the “cooler” with Former Congressman William Jefferson’s conviction by Jury yesterday -

In the event you feel a tear coming on for Congressman Jefferson – think of it in these terms…

Most, if not all of the victims of his extortion and bribery schemes were small black American owned companies seeking to do business in Africa. His corruption was pretty much common knowledge in the Minority business community around the DC Beltway – so his arrest wasn’t really a surprise. Whatever good this man may have done for his constituents is vastly outweighed by the fact he let them down.

Come on down, Cold Cash – and collect your Award!
