Friday Quotes: It's Open Line Friday, FROM RUSH!
"Moammar Khadafy is trying to buy off the protesters in Libya, offering them $400 per family. What a cheapskate! I mean, look at how much Obama spent for every public sector union job: $228,000. Khadafy doesn't stand a chance."
"Did you see where James Carville is one of the new spokesmen for Miracle Whip? You never know what you're going to get when you start dragging $100 bills through the bayous."

Gingrich is a nutcase:
http://thinkprogress.org/2011/02…
"Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, who plans within two weeks to announce if he will run for president, said today that if President Obama doesn’t change his mind and order his Justice Department to enforce the Defense of Marriage Act, Republicans in Congress should strike back and even consider impeachment proceedings.
“I believe the House Republicans next week should pass a resolution instructing the president to enforce the law and to obey his own constitutional oath, and they should say if he fails to do so that they will zero out [defund] the office of attorney general and take other steps as necessary until the president agrees to do his job,” said Gingrich. “His job is to enforce the rule of law and for us to start replacing the rule of law with the rule of Obama is a very dangerous precedent.”

Chris Lee, Craigslist Ex-Congressman, Reportedly Trolled Site For Transgender Women
"Gawker, which broke the original story about Lee's contact with a single woman on the site, reports:
............
In the past 10 days, two D.C.-area transgender women contacted us, each with a separate story about exchanging emails with the ex-congressman. One sent us an ad that Lee allegedly posted on Craigslist in search of trans women; the other sent us a never-before-seen photo that she says Lee sent her after they started chatting by email. Taken together, they present a possible explanation to those who have wondered why such a tame "sex scandal" forced Lee's hand so quickly."- peoples personal life is there personal life. same shit went with clinton. shouldnt be used to push party platforms********

Shouting "Shame!" on Wisconsin Assembly floor before "union-busting" budget bill vote
Sounds very feminine, no?
As Madison impasse continues, schools eye layoffs
Wisconsin school districts are warning teachers, each one on the payroll in some cases, that their contracts might not be renewed as Gov. Scott Walker's plan to cut nearly all public employees' collective bargaining rights remains in limbo.
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20110…- What sounds "feminine" about this? So, being manly would be to sell out to corporate interests?Josev
- That has nothing to do with it, It is about state economy.********
- It's about busting unions, because when you kill unions it puts downwards pressure on wages for everyone.********
- Why anyone would defend this shit is beyond me********
- States that do not afford their public workers collective bargaining rights are in the red just as bad. This is cheap.luckyorphan

Bombing of Libya
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bom…After several days of diplomatic talks with European and Arab partners, President Ronald Reagan ordered a strike on Libya on April 14. Eighteen F-111F strike aircraft of the 48th Tactical Fighter Wing, flying from RAF Lakenheath supported by four EF-111A Ravens of the 20th Tactical Fighter Wing, from RAF Upper Heyford in England, in conjunction with fifteen A-6, A-7, F/A-18 attack aircraft and EA-6B Prowler Electronic Warfare Aircraft from the aircraft carriers USS Saratoga, USS America and USS Coral Sea on station in the Gulf of Sidra, struck five targets at 02:00 on April 15, with the stated objective that their destruction would send a message and reduce Libya's ability to support and train terrorists. Reagan warned that "if necessary, [they] shall do it again."
Funny, how shit comes FULL CIRCLE, eh...?

Conservatives turn on Glenn Beck and Fox
http://www.commentarymagazine.co…
http://voices.washingtonpost.com…"It looks to me like it’s only a matter of time — and I suspect not much time — until he blows apart professionally. If and when that happens, one can only hope that conservatism as a movement will have created enough distance from Beck to mitigate the damage."

Fantastic correspondence on the Rush Limbaugh show recently...

- Of course Reagan did cut taxes dramatically, and that's the main reason conservative idolize him********
- Everything the guy says is true of course, but a better critique of Reagan would be simply be pointing out how he created such huge debt for the U.S.********
- such a huge amount of debt that we still haven't paid off********
- its a simple question to ask why reagan is a hero. its always important. seems like the two needed to talk more********
- and better how did reagan create the debt and was inherited the same way obama got it.********
- the debt is there despite who wins the 4 year election. dont blame the man blame the logic that created the debt********

^ There's a good column in Salon about that exchange:
http://www.salon.com/news/the_re…
........"He's right. Reagan increased payroll taxes in 1983. History records that, alarmed by spiraling deficits, he signed tax increases during six of his eight years in office. Even so, his administration tripled the national debt, to almost $3 trillion."
