Newt Gingrich, Sob Sister
The things one learns from the Sunday morning gasbags!First, we hear George Will say the greatest thing that President Obama has done -- really, an act of sheer statesmanship -- is to remove the "buy American" provisions in the stimulus plan.
Less than an hour later, some senator from Arizona (McCain, I think his name was) said that it's just plu-perfect AWFUL that the bill has a "buy American" provision in it.
One of these two gentlemen is right and the other is lost somewhere in the space-time continuum.
But the best yuck of the morning came out of the mouth of Newt Gingrich on ABC's "This Week." Newt was alarmed -- perhaps even a little saddened, in that smug, self-serving way of his -- about the "partisanship" that has reinvaded Washington, all because President Obama thinks that it was Republican policies that got us into this mess. It's just a fact: Newt's shit don't stink.
And, oh yes, via the new chair of the Republican National Committee Michael Steele: a government-created job is not actually a job. It's really more of a social indiscretion, like paying your sister $37,000 out of campaign funds for work she didn't actually do.

Conservative Columnists Host Muslim Socialist and Get Cooties
Look who came to dinner at George Will's place!With a whole host of conservative bloviators passing the mashed potatoes: William Kristol, David Brooks, Charles Krauthammer, Larry Kudlow, Peggy Noonan, Rich Lowry, Michael Barone, Paul Gigot, and others yet to be ratted out.
Go to any right-wing website and read the reactions, for example, this one. You'd get the impression that George Will shared Obama's prayer rug.
Reacting to screams of "traitor" on the right, Charles Krauthammer joked: "And I'm here to tell you that, speaking for myself, [Obama] has succeeded. I am brainwashed entirely. I'm in the tank, and I am a believer of hope and change and, above all, audacity."
Rush Limbaugh's feelings were hurt because he wasn't invited.

John McCain, Getting the Jump on Halloween
"John McCain Loses His Head." That's the title on George Will's column today -- George Will?A few of the adjectives Will applies to Senator McNasty:
"childish"
"unpresidential"
"shallow"
"impulsive"
"erratic"
Bottomline: John McCain is unsuited for the presidency. Saith Brother Will.
