“It’s time to play hardball,” advises the WaPo’s E.J. Dionne today, echoing the sentiments of many, including myself, who think Obama needs to fight back against Republican anti-stimulus spin. Dionne concludes:
In just two weeks, the elation of Inauguration Day has given way to a classic form of partisan hardball. Obama and his advisers have been [...]

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.

I put up a post a bit ago about my view of the The Big Three auto industry investment.

After Ann Coulter was rejected by just about everyone after saying that John Edwards looks like a “fag” Ann Coulter seemed to have learned her lesson. Well not exactly: “if I’m going to say anything about John Edwards in the future, I’ll just wish he had been killed in a terrorist assassination plot.”

This weekend’s first Oscar goes to this right-wing screed in today’s AJC, written by someone named Jan McClure, who is described as “president of the McClure Media Group, a corporate communications and public relations firm. ” For some reason, the AJC feels that a public relations flack is qualified to discuss political [...]
