Weiner made it look easy and it’s not everyday a Democrat smacks down a big tough Republican like Joe. In this clip from Morning Joe, Joe rants about Obama claiming Republicans will take away social security. He fails to address the fact that Republicans ARE trying to privatize social security.
Before hitting it big with her television show and stand-up film, Jesus is Magic, Sarah Silverman tried her hand at acting. In this scene from the 1999 film, ‘Way of the Gun’, Silverman’s scene almost overshadows the entire film.

Rachel explains why Republicans are pretending extending the tax cuts will help Americans.
President Obama’s first term as president has not been a cakewalk. The economy collapsed JUST as he came into office and ever since, things seem to get worse by the day. It was announced today that Obama is dissolving the position of “ethics czar”, the “czar” in charge of making things transparent. Obama has decided to embrace the rules that Bush administration carved out for themselves and ignore transparency.
White House Spokesman Robert Gibbs came under fire yesterday for saying that Obama’s left-wing critics should be “drug-tested”. Gibbs has downplayed the comments but they seem to have struck a chord in many congressional democrats.

On Monday, Karl Rove was on Fox and Friends complaining about Wikileaks and plugging his upcoming appearance on Rush Limbaugh. Yesterday, Rove made his on-air debut, and flopped. Though Limbaugh touted Rove as a great sub, Rove appeared nervous and unprepared for his gig.

Republicans that listen to Limbaugh are not going to be impressed with Rove’s performance and …

On Sunday’s “Face the Nation” David Boies and Tony Perkins went toe-to-toe on the legality of same-sex marriage. Boies claims that it is very easy to obscure public thinking on an issue by claiming things that are patently, not true. He claims that marriage is a right to all people, and the religious right cannot stop Americans from getting married.
In this clip, Andrew Napolitano makes a good case for Wikileaks being an essential asset to democracy and protecting democracy. Great points are made but would topics like these have been broached during the Bush administration? Transparency is something everyone can get behind (well,except for the extremely daft) but is all this just being said because we are in the Obama administration and the Republicans will take any chance to make Obama look bad? If Republicans embrace things like Wikileaks, Gay Marriage, …
