Ben Nelson

He's down 30 points after whoring himself out for Obamacare. Isn't that special.

Dan Rather

His lawsuit against CBS has been tossed. No surprise there.

No Questionnaire For Van Jones

Hah, Van Jones didn't even fill out the standard questionnaire required of all Obama appointees:

“Van Jones, the Obama green jobs czar who resigned shortly after midnight Sunday, did not fill out the exhaustive questionnaire White House officials required of every Cabinet-level secretary and deputy-secretary position.”

Someone obviously has some explaining to do.

Cheney's Speech

The text here.

Obama and Cheney

The duel is on.

Nancy Pelosi, Liar

And she has provoked the CIA to boot. Charles Krauthammer on Fox's Special Report today on the Speaker's unbelievable claims on what she knew and when she knew it:

"Her news conference today was an utter disaster. She was nervous, she was shifty, her syntax was incomprehensible, and there were times that she had to refer to her original statement because she couldn't remember what her current truth was. It reminds me of a line in a Graham Greene novel, in which a spy says I prefer to tell the truth, it's easier to memorize. Well she didn't have it memorized. You have a sense that if you had attached a lie detector to her in that newser it would have short circuited. Her problem was this: She was internally contradictory, with one point within thirty seconds, she contradicted her own statement on what she had heard and done from her staffer in February '03. She was contradicted by the evidence of others like Porter Goss. Her charge of the CIA lying to her is utterly implausible. Why would it lie to her and tell all the others the truth? It makes no sense at all. And it was refuted by the black and white Obama CIA memo...not a memo out of the prince of darkness Bush and Cheney, but Obama's CIA...she is now at war with the CIA, which through selective leaking can destroy her, and I suspect they will."

Obama and The Rule of Law

WSJ:

The Obama administration's behavior in the Chrysler bankruptcy is a profound challenge to the rule of law. Secured creditors -- entitled to first priority payment under the "absolute priority rule" -- have been browbeaten by an American president into accepting only 30 cents on the dollar of their claims. Meanwhile, the United Auto Workers union, holding junior creditor claims, will get about 50 cents on the dollar....

By stepping over the bright line between the rule of law and the arbitrary behavior of men, President Obama may have created a thousand new failing businesses. That is, businesses that might have received financing before but that now will not, since lenders face the potential of future government confiscation. In other words, Mr. Obama may have helped save the jobs of thousands of union workers whose dues, in part, engineered his election. But what about the untold number of job losses in the future caused by trampling the sanctity of contracts today?
