Heh. Don't piss the guy off, Rahm is just WAITING to be cut loose.
I'd be more excited about this if I'd seen the slightest sign of Blue Dogs being roped into line or Republicans being knocked back in the past few months.
They're doing it backwards; walking up the down slide.

Maybe he was waiting for the donkey's head nipple clamps from the catalog or something.

Every time the camera focused on John McCain, he looked like he was pretending to be having a better time than he really was.
Doesn't he kinda always look like that?

yeah, this. He has a really unappealing smile anyway...looking serious would be fine with most of the viewing public.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
I'm not sure Rahm is the best person to be cut loose in this situation. One factor in the response needs to be "We are better than that." When he wants to, Obama is a master at that style. Rahm, not so much.
So more like pitbull-on-massive-chain snarling and slavering while the Bam uses big words and shakes his head sadly?

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Also, dig the screencap she has in that entry. That is a beautiful thing.
LOVE. IT.
I kind of think Biden is going, "Who is that? Damn, I wish I had my glasses on."
Heh.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
That screencap is awesome.

Oh, that's classic Good Cop/Bad Cop "I am a reasonable person, but my partner? He's been doing politics a long time so he gets...impatient. But I just know you and I can work something out and you can keep that one testicle...he did that over the phone? Wow, fiber-optics sure are impressive these days."

Personally, I sort of liked Rep Joe Wilson’s idea of introducing British-style heckling to the halls of congress; totally disrespectful and out of step with American tradition, true, but their tradition is better. Unfortunately, Wilson was also lying about the point at issue and will thereby set back the cause of heckling by decades.
I am so with him on this.

At least according someone in Salon Letters (I know, I know, I'm an addict...) calling someone a LIAR is one thing you can't do in Parlaiment -- and if you don't apologize you get escorted from the room.
