From the Wall Street Journal, “House Ethics Office Ends Probe of Murtha, 2 Others” [emphasis from original]: A key House investigating body has dropped its probe of Rep.

Over at Huffpo, Dishonorable Congressturd Barney Frank penned a long-winded screed to slam Republicans for their “amnesia” about how they, and not Democrats, are the only ones culpable for the current financial crisis.

President Obama is scheduled to sign (or already has signed) Porkulus. Three Senate liberal Republicans, Collins, Snowe, and Specter, let it happen. But so did another key vote, Democrat Roland Burris, Obama’s tainted replacement to be the U.S. Senator from Illinois.

President Barack Obama’s idea to put Republican New Hampshire Senator Judd Gregg to be the new Secretary of Commerce is nothing more than a blatantly obvious political ploy. Apparently, Obama doesn’t want someone to manage all of the agencies of the Commerce Department; he just wants a face to be | Read More »
