White House Undecided On Whether To Let Republicans Walk All Over Them
via Wonkette
Democrats in Congress were too afraid even to try to pass an extension of the Bush tax cuts for the middle class before the election, because Republicans saying anything at all about Democrats and taxes is very scary!
At least deciding to let Republicans completely grab control of the law-making process and all of the ground at the bargaining table is a concrete resolution, and one that could shift the blame of the sagging economy to the Republican Party.

"I'll say this -- the president [George W. Bush] is everywhere talking about his book. And he is being very candid: In one interview, he said that he used to do stupid things while he was drunk. But think about it: Who among us hasn't had a couple of drinks and invaded Iraq?"

Sarah Palin's new reality show, Sarah Palin's Alaska, premieres this Sunday on The Learning Channel.
"Whether you think Palin is America's breath of fresh air or a lightweight opportunist, there can be no argument this show is way more Palin than Alaska," New York Daily News columnist David Hinckley wrote. "If she were buying the time, she couldn't have created a more flattering infomercial."
