My friend Ellen Beth Gill at Ellen of the Tenth, live blogged Howard Dean’s conference call earlier on health care reform. Here’s where we’re at via Ellen’s live blog but I recommend reading it all:

On Countdown yesterday, David Schuster, sitting in for Keith Olbermann, took “Fox News to task for so aggressively promoting the right wing’s anti-Obama tea parties,” and he “pointed out that ‘tea bagging is not a spontaneous uprising.’” Watch:
Dave Johnson has a very informative post on Seeing The Forest: “A Warning About The Tea Parties.”

An AIG employee, not one who got a bonus, but just an average everyday 9 – 5 employee, submitted an essay to MSNBC about working for AIG. It’s an interesting read. It has to be tough for the little folks working for ‘The most hated company in America.’

It’s hard work… defending Bush:
Chris Matthews managed to ridicule “George W. Bush for leaving office with one of the lowest presidential approval ratings in the nation’s history, for creating an economic mess that President Obama had to clean up, and for leading a foreign policy based on “truly frightening” rationales.”

Unlike any effort made previously, the President outlines some of his new package and make a direct effort to limit executive pay, perks and golden parachutes.

Last night I was watching Senator Claire McCaskill on MSNBC’s Hardball, talking about her legislation that proposed a pay limit “to all companies that receive Treasury money.” McCaskill told Chris Matthews that she felt the proposed legislation would get support from the Obama Administration. My reaction to that was that the Obama Administration had damn [...]

Many here know I really have liked Joe Biden. His farewell speech, which I accidentally saw from the start on C-Span, was a classic example of Senate culture and Biden unique skills at best.
