A Sullivan reader: If these Tea Party people were serious about fiscal sanity, they would boo Ryan on sight for his vote for Medicare D. They would boo Cantor on sight. They would boo Boehner on...
Admittedly, I was trapped inside a multitasking loop of death today, but I listened to as much of the summit as I could, and this much is obvious: given an opportunity to get serious, the Republicans...
Here's a thread for commenting on the summit. Also, watch at CSPAN.
From Andy Cobb:
We should do a blog pool on which Republicans will say certain wingnut/Luntz buzzwords during the summit. I'll get the ball rolling. John Boehner will be the first to use the incorrect and pejorative...
The Tragically Hip - "The Last Recluse", "Coffee Girl" and "Morning Moon" It's not a Hip theme week, but maybe it should be. Also, I'm convinced that there's something about Canadian music that I...

Now Limbaugh says the president is "essentially a primitive, indigenous guy."
At first, I agreed with Ezra's post that the White House is, again, failing to lead on the public option. However, it's become clear that even the most hardline supporters of the public option know...
