“That’s pretty amazing, isn’t that snowstorm? I mean, President Obama spends one day in Copenhagen, global warming is solved. It is over.” – Jay Leno “Of course, the storm is the big story, it is unbelievable. It actually paralyzed Washington more than Joe Lieberman. In fact, there was so much white powder in D.C., people […]
© Tom Toles It you think it is bad now having to kiss Lieberman’s tushie in order to get 60 votes, just wait until after the midterms.

Obama is in a tough spot. His biggest promise was to “change the tone of politics in Washington”, by seeking a return to respectful political dialog, careful deliberation rather than pandering to voters, and actual governance rather than sound bites.

For several reasons, I found this post on National Review to be completely ironic and hilarious: Congratulations to Captain Picard! [Mike Potemra] Palace sources say Patrick Stewart is about to be knighted by Queen Elizabeth II. It turns out he is an avid supporter of Britain’s Labour party; his support must be especially welcome in […]
Senator Tom Coburn (R-OK) said on Sunday: What the American people ought to pray is that somebody can’t make the vote tonight. That’s what they ought to pray. Coburn was hoping that a Democrat would not show up for the vote on health care reform and the vote would fail. But he forgot to specify […]

Senator Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI) takes Republicans to task for lying to the American people: When it turns out there are no death panels, when there is no bureaucrat between you and your doctor, when the ways your health care changes seem like a good deal to you, and a pretty smart idea, when the American […]
“Santa Claus, as you know, has a plan to fly around the world to deliver toys to all the good little boys and girls. Unfortunately, it’s being blocked right now by Joe Lieberman.” – Jimmy Kimmel “Clearly, Lieberman has gone from having Joe-mentum to having Joe-mentia.” – Stephen Colbert “The other night they had that […]
