Counting the Costs of Clintonism
The debacle of this president’s administration is both a cause and a symptom of the decline of American values. Unless Congress impeaches him, that decline will go on unchecked. An eminent jurist surveys the damage and assesses the chances for the recovery of our culture.

Are they going to spray for lice when he leaves? Or is that useless given the lice ridden scum that hang around there?
Warrior | 1.5.11 @ 11:15AM
Right after they get rid of the sulfur smell.

Didn't know Gibbs liked egg-salad sandwiches. Explains a lot.

If they were to delouse the administration, there wouldn't be a single Obamaton left.
Better to de-administration the lice and leave the insects in charge of our government.
After all, the destructive, disgusting creatures that populate this adminstration are the real vermin.

From the desk of J. Goebbels:
Dear Herr President Obama,
It gives me great pleasure to haff received your most excellent request for my services following the purge of your incompetent Minister of Propaganda. As you know, this is not the first time I will serve a Fuhrer who is a true Messianic Figure, leading his country to a new national social dream! Sie ist sehr shoen! I will serve you most faithfully, as I always have served the cause of national socialism! Du bist der ubermenschen! I will follow your will to power to the pinnacle! We will bring all to their knees before you! And then you can rid the vorld of that zionist pigsty israel once and for all! Jawohl! So, Ja, Herr President, once you have agreed to the terms of my parole stipulated by our mutual friend D. Mephistopheles, I vill be most happy to serve as your new Press Secretary and Minister of Propaganda! Sig Heil!
Your faithful servant against the ju,
J. Goebbels

Chrissy McManCrush Matthews should be the next press secretary. He may want to stock up on smelling salts.

There have been 45 days in the Obonga Presidency in which he did not make a public speech. But everyone else should stop campaigning.

"...there will be plenty of time to campaign for 2012 in 2012"
This from the man who's 2008 campaign organization simply renamed itself Organizing for America has been in continuous operation ever since. Obama's been campaigning for 2012 since before he won 2008, nonstop.
