BREAKING: REID QUITS; DEM LEADERSHIP IN FULL PANIC MODE

If there was truth in campaigning...

It's the dog days of summer, folks.

It's hard to get enthused about blogging for the next little while. Even when Senator Leahy goes on TV and tells outright, factcheckable falsehoods.

[LEAHY to SOTOMAYOR:] You said that, quote, you "would hope that a wise Latina woman with the richness of her experiences would reach wise decisions."

Well, no. That's not what she said. If she had, there would be no grounds for objection about it.

But here's what she DID say (emphasis added), and there's PLENTY to object about it.

“I would hope that a wise Latina woman with the richness of her experiences would more often than not reach a better conclusion than a white male who hasn’t lived that life,” said Judge Sotomayor...

No, Senator, what she said was not simply a compliment in a vacuum on the decision-making abilities of Latin women. What she said could easily and honestly be interpreted as a Latin Supremacist view.

The most benign interpretation of your quote, Senator, is that you are too stupid to know the difference. But then, one does not get elected Senator if one is stupid.

Which means, Senator Leahy, that you are not stupid, but a liar.

The brown-haired girl is obviously a Democrat.

Note how happy she is when Suit Guy (who represents the Nanny State) gives her a toy pony. Then note how quickly her happiness turns to the Green-Eyed Monster when someone else gets something better.

Another Democrat Knock-knock joke.

"Knock-knock!"

"Who's there?"

"Barack Obama."

"Oh, are you back from your drug-fueled limo joyride into Sodom already, Mr. President?"

Democrat knock-knock joke:

"Knock-knock."

"Who's there?"

"We inherited this mess; it's all Bush's fault! Never mind that OUR party has controlled Congress since 2006!"

No wonder the Democrats always want to raise taxes.

Tax increases don't matter to people who just don't pay taxes.

Call it the Geithner-Rangel-Leona Helmsley Tax Plan : Only the little people pay taxes.
