president has done a late-night show. We tried to have other presidents on, but
President Bush went to bed every night at 9:00. And President Clinton always
seemed to have other late-night plans."

Actually, what Thomas Jefferson said was:
"And what country can preserve its liberties, if it's rulers are not warned
from time to time, that this people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them
take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to the facts, pardon and pacify
them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty
must be refreshed from time to time, with the blood of patriots and tyrants. It
is its natural manure."
So, is it treason, or just sedition, that you are calling for, Rep. Bachmann?

Obama's Energy Cap-And-Trade Plan Has Bachmann Talking About A Revolution

metaphorically this weekend when she said in a radio interview that she wants

GOP's Next Attack Line:
Obama Administration Has Too Many Plans, Not Enough Cohesion
http://tinyurl.com/d39twx
. . "We can't help but notice the numerous and sundry plans that seem to come
out at a rate of one a week without any clear picture of how they interact and
whether they interact well or not," [GOP Senate Leader Mitch McConnell's
spokesman Don] Stewart told me. "That's a very real concern among Senate
Republicans."
Though this case has been occasionally made by isolated GOPers, Stewart said
that Republicans would be making a concerted effort to hammer this line of
criticism. "I think you'll hear more and more concerns raised about this until
there's an answer or a general framework that makes sense," he said. ...

Jindal Defends Those Who Want Obama To Fail
http://www.cnn.com/2009/POLITICS/03/25/jindal.defense.obama/index.html
It's OK for Republicans to want President Obama to fail if they think he's
jeopardizing the country, Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal told members of his
political party Tuesday night.
Jindal described the premise of the question -- "Do you want the president to
fail?" -- as the "latest gotcha game" being perpetrated by Democrats against
Republicans.
"Make no mistake: Anything other than an immediate and compliant, 'Why no sir,
I don't want the president to fail,' is treated as some sort of act of treason,
civil disobedience or political obstructionism," Jindal said at a political
fundraiser attended by 1,200 people. "This is political correctness run amok."
Since conservative radio talk show host Rush Limbaugh said that he hoped that
Obama would fail, Republicans have been pressed by Democrats and the media
about Limbaugh's comments.
Jindal, a potential 2012 presidential candidate, told the Republican audience
he would "not be brow beaten on this, and I will not kowtow to their
correctness."
"My answer to the question is very simple: 'Do you want the president to fail?'
It depends on what he is trying to do." ...
=--= =--= =--= =--= =--= =--= =--=
"If you don't support our president, no matter what, you are not a patriot."
See, I did learn something from the last eight years!
=--= =--= =--= =--= =--= =--= =--=
"We understand that Governor Jindal has had some problems with public speaking
lately, but turning to Rush Limbaugh to be your new speechwriter doesn't help.
What we know has failed is the reflexive partisan politics of the past that
Rush Limbaugh and his Republican party continue to be mired in. Rather than
rooting for failure, we urge the Republican party to play a constructive role
in moving the country forward and offer a budget proposal."
- Hari Sevugan, DNC Press Secretary

Republicans think they know how to put out the fire.... because, usually,
they're the arsonists.
=--= =--= =--= =--= =--= =--= =--=
"I guess when you have no new ideas, anything more than zero must seem
overwhelming. But, if the Republican party thinks that attacking new ideas is a
winning answer, they're more out of touch than we all thought."
- Hari Sevugan, DNC spokesman
=--= =--= =--= =--= =--= =--= =--=
The Republican Party.... the party that believes:
- the earth is 6000 years old
- dinosaurs and men coexisted at one time
- the earth regenerates fossil fuels and we'll never run out
- there are no endangered species
- destroying rain forests is a good thing
- oil platforms are good for marine life
- white christian males are the most discriminated against of all classes
- "Drill, baby, drill" is the answer to our energy problems
- Concealed carry would make society safer

Congress Forced To Watch Training Video About Bipartisan Cooperation
http://www.theonion.com/content/news/congress_forced_to_watch_training
In an effort to stimulate discussion, resolve party conflicts, and increase
legislative productivity, members of the 111th Congress were once again
required to watch an instructional video on bipartisan collaboration this week.
"Since both House and Senate seem unable or unwilling to compromise on several
issues regarding tax money, earmarks, or even seating arrangement, we have
decided to take drastic action," Vice President Joe Biden told a special joint
session of Congress Monday. "Hopefully this will give you some tools you can
use to lend a hand, and maybe an ear, across the aisle."
"And please, no talking on cell phones during the video," Biden added. "I'm
looking at you, Senator Reid."
Article 1, section 8 of the Constitution specifies that the legislative branch
must watch the instructional training film "A Vote For Understanding" once
every six years. The 30-minute video was made in 1976 and stars former Sen.
William Proxmire (D-WI), who guides viewers through a series of short lessons
about the importance of listening to the opposition without interrupting,
yelling, or filibustering. ...
"I don't need some boring movie to teach me about partisanship," said Rep
Robert Andrews (D-NJ), adding that he could not believe the junior senator from
Alaska was actually taking notes. "I'm one of the most partisan people around.
Ask anyone."
Sen. Jim Risch (R-ID) was also dismissive of the instructional film, saying
that if he ever actually went along with its "corny" message of tolerance, he
would lose the respect of everyone in Washington.
Said Risch, "Ooh, I just can't wait to listen to Democrats! I'm totally going
to consider their feelings and long-term initiatives before voting. Pff. As
if." ...
Upon conclusion of the video, Democratic and Republican leaders went out onto
the National Mall for a smoke break and, after some levelheaded discussion,
determined everything was the executive branch's fault.
=--= =--= =--= =--= =--= =--= =--=
"I do think that the Republican Party right now hasn't sort of figured out what
it's for. And so, as a proxy, they've just decided 'we're going to be against
whatever the other side is for.' That's not what's needed in an economic
crisis. ... you could play that game maybe in the early '90s, when basically we
were pretty prosperous. Right now, everybody's got to pull together."
- President Barack Obama
=--= =--= =--= =--= =--= =--= =--=
Two months.
That's all the time President Obama's had so far to undo years of damage...
actually decades, if you include 'Poppy' Bush and Uncle Ronnie.
