"Republican Congressman Peter King says he's very upset that Notre Dame, where
he went to law school, is giving an honorary degree to President Obama, even
though Obama is pro-choice. He said that giving Obama an honorary degree is
putting him in an exalted position. Really? Isn't he President of the United
States? You think that little certificate from Notre Dame is going to push him
right over the top?"

Historic Senator Robert Byrd Imploded In Controlled Demolition
http://www.theonion.com/content/news_briefs/historic_senator_robert
Thousands gathered Monday to watch the demolition of Sen. Robert C. Byrd, 91,
who was torn down after nearly five decades as a prominent Beltway fixture. At
2:30 p.m., the once-modern senator was strategically detonated with explosive
charges, causing him to collapse in a cascading succession that drew loud
cheers from those in attendance.
"Sen. Byrd has been a beloved Washington institution for as long as most people
in this city can remember," House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said of the
longest-serving senator in U.S. history, who was marked for implosion due to
his leaky, dilapidated exterior and his failure to meet congressional health
and safety standards. "But alas, the time has come to make way for a new
generation of leadership."
Sources reported that commemorative pieces of the legislator will be available
for sale in the Capitol gift shop.

Republicans Disinvite Palin to Major Fundraiser
http://tinyurl.com/dzjn5g
Sarah Palin is out and Newt Gingrich is in.
Congressional Republicans decided Tuesday to ditch the former GOP vice
presidential nominee in favor of the former House speaker for the critical
House-Senate fundraising dinner in June 8 in Washington. It's the marquee
Republican event to raise money for GOP House and Senate candidates.
Just weeks ago, the House and Senate Republican campaign committees were giddy
at securing the telegenic Palin for the dinner. But then things grew murky. At
the time, the Alaska governor's office told FOX News that Palin was still
considering the invitation and had not yet made a decision. Meantime,
spokespersons for the committees insisted that Palin was scheduled and it was
just a misunderstanding between the Alaska governor's office and Palin's
political action committee, SarahPAC, that accepted the invite.
Sources familiar with the Palin snub fumed about how the governor handled this.
"She was a disaster," one Republican source told FOX News. "We had
confirmation."
As for inviting Gingrich, National Republican Congressional Committee spokesman
Ken Spain said the GOP "decided to go in another direction."
"Speaker Gingrich is a leader," Spain added.
Another source familiar with the invitation indicated that the campaign
committees were so incensed with Palin that they did not even bother to
officially notify her that they rescinded the invitation. ...

I certainly hope Ronald Reagan was cremated....
You know exhumation might be the GOP's next step if the recycled Newt Gingrinch
doesn't fly.
=--= =--= =--= =--= =--= =--= =--=
"Party leader Sarah Palin was invited and then uninvited to be the headliner at
a national GOP dinner and was replaced by Newt Gingrich. Even though the Alaska
governor claimed it was an innocent communication error, organizers refused to
re-invite her because, of course, they only have two more months until the
event and have already moved on to the blowing-up-balloons stage. But at least
now Palin can devote more time to not accepting federal funds for wasteful
things like schools and help for the unemployed."

[CA] House Panel Considers Ways To Cope With California Drought
http://www.sacbee.com/politics/v-print/story/1744919.html
The California drought drew partisan finger-pointing but also helping hands at
a congressional hearing convened Tuesday to figure out what could happen next.
One San Joaquin Valley Republican blamed water shortages on "radical
environmentalists and their Democratic patrons." ...
.. Rep. Devin Nunes, R-Visalia, vehemently denounced "radical
environmentalists" and declared that "under Democratic control, Congress
ushered in" laws including the Endangered Species Act, the National
Environmental Protection Act and the Central Valley Project Improvement Act.
The former two laws were signed by President Richard Nixon and the Central
Valley Project act was signed by President George H.W. Bush, both of them
Republicans. ...

Republicans Are Normal, Democrats Are Not
by Michael Barone
http://tinyurl.com/djvpu8
. . This is similar but not identical to a point I've often made: that the
Republican Party is the party of people who are considered, by themselves and
by others, as normal Americans -- Northern white Protestants in the 19th
century, married white Christians more recently -- while the Democratic Party
is the party of the out groups who are in some sense seen, by themselves and by
others, as not normal -- white Southerners and Catholic immigrants in the 19th
century, blacks and white seculars more recently. Thus it's natural for the
Democrats to be more fissiparous. ...
[note: fissiparous = breakaway, separatist]

Nice.... the Republican Party, i.e. NORMAL Americans = Northern WHITE
Protestants, married WHITE Christians.... sure gotta love that inclusiveness,
hmmmm?

"Looking back at his presidential run this week, John McCain said that he got a
lot of votes because of Sarah Palin. And weirdly enough, that's the same thing
President Obama said."
