Fun With Joe And Dave

The whole “Bush and his cowardly sneak attack on Obama at the Knesset” thing just won’t die, as it turns out, though that's a good thing really (third post of the day on this topic based on this Daily Kos post).

And kudos to one of the senators from MBNA (and I’m definitely not referring to Tom Carper) for this…

"This is bullshit, this is malarkey. This is outrageous, for the president of the United States to go to a foreign country, to sit in the Knesset . . . and make this kind of ridiculous statement."

"He is the guy who has weakened us," he said. "He has increased the number of terrorists in the world. It is his policies that have produced this vulnerability that the U.S. has. It’s his [own] intelligence community [that] has pointed this out, not me."
I still have no regrets about not supporting Biden for president – he’s a good man and he’d be an excellent Secretary of Defense for Obama, but there are too many bogus votes for me to ever reach a comfort level with him on any higher office.

And in the House, we had this exchange between Dem David Obey (pictured) and Repug John Culberson of Texas over the alleged “pork” and “tax hikes” in the emergency supplemental for Iraq (with Obey confronting Culberson to identify the “pork,” which Culberson couldn’t, of course).

(Kind of slumming it with the posting today I know because of this ongoing item; I’ve got something in the works that I may or may not get to today.)

I saw this back and forth between Obey and Culberson. Culberson couldn't answer Obey's question about pork just as that wingnut radio host couldn't answer Chris Matthews question on what Neville Chamberlain actually did.

Good point about Matthews - he has lot of issues to be sure, but fair is fair; he did a good job taking down wingnut radio loudmouth Kevin James.
