Pelosi indicates openness to offshore drilling vote

Drudge has this listed today. Keep it up Reps, you are having a great effect even if the Senate is full of a bunch of witless ninnies. – Lorica

I was wrong – I thought election officials would disqualify enough signatures to keep Mother Sheehan off the ballot.

Pass the popcorn!

…..He opened that window up for our rural community”….

So window is the new code word huh.

Likewise, Edwards can make a tearful apology and the MSM and Dem operatives (to the extent there is a difference) will immediately rejoice in his maturity and statesmanship and he’s back in the running as a VP choice. No, I am not kidding. Watch his political rehabilitation – I bet it takes a mere week.

MD, how about we just refer to you as “The Unmentionable” for short?

Thus, in the future I command all infidels to refer to Me as Mwalimu HWMNMNBM Daudi.

Key quote:

If there is any hope for an Edwards redemption, it will come from those touched by yet another of his risks: to base a pair of national political campaigns on a fight against poverty and the struggles of low-income Americans.

In Greene County, Edwards founded a program in 2005 that sent 190 high school graduates to college for free. Those who benefited said Friday that his personal infidelities, no matter how distasteful, could not undo such good works.

“I have great things to say about John Edwards. He opened that window up for our rural community,” said Sara Johnson, whose son Tyler earned one of the scholarships. “It gave something to our community, and our students and their families.”

Got it? The “risk” that drove Edwards from his dying wife into the arms of another woman is the same “risk” that drove him to start this program. In other words, the ends justify the means and in the process covers any sins committed along the way. A roll in the hay followed by absolution!

Never mind the near 100% failure rate of the welfare state from the New Deal to the Great Society. Never mind the fact that mammoth increases in social welfare spending saw a rise (rather than a decrease) in dependency on government. Never mind that Edwards got rich by destroying the lives and careers of doctors in frivolous malpractice lawsuits where he thrilled juries by allegedly channeling the spirit of the dead. All that slips down the memory hole as Mr. Robertson focuses on one supposed success which we are to accept at face value. The Edwards legend must be re-animated.

Here’s Edwards in 1999 talking about BJC’s extramarital troubles.

As far as I can remember, it’s only eaten one of mine so far. Probably read the middle name too quickly, saw the W, and booted it.

This obviously means…I don’t know what.

don’t know how to tweak the thing, but I’ve noticed it will sometimes snag your, and one other commenter’s, comments.

The Internet Gods want me to shut up.

I don’t know how to tweak the thing, but I’ve noticed it will sometimes snag your, and one other commenter’s, comments. Can’t figure out why, but luckily I’m almost always around to rescue.
