The Dragnet

 

I can haz ur First Amendment rights?

The morning roundup, for your reading pleasure:

• With such low-hanging fruit on the other side of the aisle, it’s all too easy to forget the horrors of our last presidency. Newsweek reports on the declassified Bush terror memos, in which the cowboy-in-chief seriously considered eliminating the first amendment to the constitution.  And the conservatives are still whining about the fairness doctrine?
• Ever hear about those animals that eat their own young? Apparently, the GOP’s been taking pages from their playbook  with their own Jim Bunning of Kentucky. I guess aiming a gun towards your foot and pulling the trigger helps win elections.
• 

  Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY)

  While the Republicans are focused on defeating one of their own in Kentucky, the Dems have their sights set on the other half of the state’s Senatorial Juggernaut. Mitch the Turtle should start ducking and covering!

• Let the Limbaugh fetish continue! I haven’t seen Republicans flock to a brain-dead coma victim like this since Terry Schiavo! Yesterday, the Jindster applauded Steele’s apology to Rush, confirming that this love-triangle from hell will indeed continue. No word yet on whether Steele gave Rush flowers or a bottle of OxyContin. My bet’s on…both.

Lastly, we’d like to welcome our newest blogger, the Nandinator. She will contribute wit and/or witticisms, obscure pop-culture references, Stewart-Colbert ’12 campaign updates and an undying love for Ann Coulter.
