> [@Squink](#): > > Wow, except for cutting taxes and expanding wars, they seem to have no _positive_ agenda at all. Now, now, they are for global warming, homophobia, and poor people dying from lack of medical care. But they are consistent. Republican economic policies caused the biggest economic downturn in 80 years? The solution is to do it some more. Being too extreme caused your ass to get kicked? Be even more extreme. The Senators from Maine might as well switch parties now, obviously. ---

When an aide came in and whispered into the President’s ear about the attack he just sat there with a stupid grin on his face and said ‘Carry on Monica’.

She’s obviously not grateful. The board is required by law to be bipartisan…it must have both Republican and Democratic members. When it came time to name a Republican member, Obama apparently went to the Senate Minority Leader, Mitch McConnell, for recommendations, and McConnell recommended Perino. Meh. Nobody pays attention to who’s on those kind of boards, anyway…they’re mostly lost in the alphabet soup of the executive agencies. Not something I’d get worked up over. ---
