Political bits

This is funny. Bernanke's partisan approval has completely reversed with a change in Presidents. Under Bush 61% Republicans, 40% Democrats approved of Bernanke. Now, 36% of Republicans, 64% of Dems approve of him.

Nobody on the GOP side is issuing comments after the latest Minn decision goes against Norm Coleman. Not even NRSC head and my state's shame Sen. John Cornyn.

Supposedly, that Spanish court is going to seek criminal charges against those six Bush admin officials involved in "interrogation" techniques at Guantanamo. (Gonzales, Bybee, Adddington, Yoo, Feith, and Haynes.) (It'll be very interesting to see how the Obama folks play this.)

And, they've lost on gay marriage. When Rick Warren is hemming and hawing. When Laura Schlessinger starts saying that gay couples are "beautiful and a healthy thing," they've lost.

After Iowa's decision, just how much screaming from the right was there? A day? Maybe two or three?

It was just 2004 when the GOP strategy revolved around "gay marriage" ballot initiatives, and now top figures are beginning to defect as they feel the wind blowing.

  • Mike, the quote you reference is Dr. Laura Schlessinger - not Laura Ingraham.

  • They may not be saying anything, but they will help Coleman push his case to the Supreme Court of the United States.

  • Patrick, you're right. I'm a doofus. I'll fix it.

    ....

    Time, I think they're waiting to hear where he's going before they comment. Don't want to be out front saying he should go on 100%, if Coleman bows to the pressure.
