In Which Harold Ford Has His Buttocks Handed to Him.
Oh, this is rich.

Democrats Abandon War Authority Provision
WASHINGTON – Top House Democrats retreated Monday from an attempt to limit President Bush’s authority for taking military action against Iran as the leadership concentrated on a looming confrontation with the White House over the

Senators and Credit Cards
Updated, below
Oh look! A bunch of Senators are trying to get to the bottom of abusive credit card practices (the kind enabled by the Bankruptcy Reform Act of 2005, passed by a large majority, including many Democrats like Joe “What a Clean and Articulate Negro that Obam Boy Is” Biden).

Stupid or Psychotic? The Nevada Democratic Party’s Response

Of All the Happy-Crappy, This Takes the Cake
Bob Brady, Chair of the PA Democratic Party for over twenty years:

Growing up in Overbrook, I didn’t know many millionaires. [...]
Kick Out Council
UPDATED; UPDATED AGAIN
Sigh: another day, another dollar in Philly’s “pay-to-play” politics.
Gaetano talks about the same rumor I have heard: That City Council, in response to the self funding of Tom Knox, is about to repeal the campaign finance limits for the Mayor’s race.
