I find this to be utterly depressing…
Attention, Mississippi Democrats – do you really think Thad Cochran is going to give a crap about you now that you’ve basically helped to ensure that he’ll have another term in the U.S. Senate?
As much as I can’t stand Republicans, I have to admit that their mindset is that the campaign never ends, and that’s the mindset we should have had last night. Meaning that it would have made a hell of a lot more sense for Dem nominee Travis Childers to face Teahadist nut job Chris McDaniel than Cochran.
Cochran was sinking, but we tossed him a metaphorical life preserver. We should have tossed him an anvil instead (doing to him what his party gladly would do to us - Update: And yes, Joy Reid, I understand that MI is only about 36 percent Democratic, but gosh, don't you think a Childers/McDaniel matchup would have splintered off at least SOME Republicans to make the contest closer?)…
…and since only Walter Jones among U.S. House Republicans opposed this, that means Mikey the Beloved voted Yes on a bill to gut financial reform - the following clip points out why this still matters a lot...
...and in a related story, it looks like Blackstone CEO Steve Schwarzman really is this big of an a-hole (NSFW)...
…and OMIGOD, The High Court of Hangin’ Judge JR actually did something right (call me a skeptic, though; I think this will get rolled back in a heartbeat if it conflicts with corporate interests in a future High Court case – love to be wrong)...
...and RIP legendary character actor Eli Wallach...
...and happy birthday to Mike Kroeger of Nickelback.
