Via Ed Morrissey, witness her full and total awareness of the cap-and-trade monstrosity that her political party is threatening to unleash upon the world:

You know, this is one of those times that I almost feel sorry for hyper-partisan Democrats. Can you imagine having to go through life having to pretend that this administration has any idea what it’s doing?

PS: Actually, I would accept the “The executive branch hasn’t had an opportunity to read what the legislative branch has cobbled together yet…” excuse. Assuming, of course, that it’s immediately followed by “…which is why the President’s going to veto the bill and send it back to the House so that they can do a competent job this time.”

Until then… well. I voted for the other guy.

How many years will Pres. Obama get for the Stimulus and CapnTax?

I mean, they’re both Ponzi schemes as far as I can tell.

Remember Ross Perot and his “Giant Sucking Sound”?

There’s a New Improved sucking sound thanks to House Democrats and a few RINO Repubiks and it’s going to get really loud if Cap and Trade Tax passes the Senate as well as the House.

Once upon a time, we could count on House Republicans to hold the line even when the Senate GOP was having problems.

Now with the House slipping on us, who’ll will be there for us?

Glenn Beck had a good take on the Giant Sucking Sound Friday before the vote was taken;

The latest tweet from Gov, Sarah Palin:

“LtGen Campbell & I now n Germany=visit wounded warriors seek to do more to help these deserving patriots than mere visit they sacrifice much”

This will be the second time that she has gone to Germany. In July, 2007, on her return trip from Kuwait, the governor stopped to visit wounded troops at Landstuhl Regional Medical Center.

Do you remember how, during the debate over proposals to create personal accounts for Social Security, opponents called the $1 trillion transition cost intolerable?   Now, a $1 trillion floor for health care reform is seen as a sign of success.   Says something about priorities, doesn’t it?

When you have to yank out a potential “Yes” vote from the pickle jar.

Vicious of me, yes, but my sympathy for Pat Kennedy isn’t what you’d call ‘high.’ And my sympathy for the Congressional Democrats for being so in need of his vote to pass their unseen monstrosity of a bill is even lower. Really: at this point, all you’re doing is writing the NRCC‘s campaign ads for them for next year.

And trust me: to quote the classics, they’re going to be open for business. Hi, Debbie Halvorson! Tell us again how independent you are!

God doesn’t think He’s a scientist.

As Rep. Barton says, come on down. They’re trying to put a majority together, so if you’re a Democrat, now’s the time for a little short-term gain.

PS: Got to love the machine-like precision and flawless choreography of the Pelosi/Waxman/Markey team, yes? Seventy vote difference, and they’re still going to have to work extra hours on a Friday night. If you ran a fast-food restaurant the way the Democrats run Congress, troubleshooters from Regional would have swooped in months ago to fire half of management.

…to get the AFL-CIO to start calling.

So you go do the same. This one appears to be on the razor’s edge – and, remember, it’s because Congressional Republicans are holding the line.
