Was it the following day that Rush Limbaugh said on his radio show something to the effect about the liberals and political correctness being out of control in this country, because folks can’t call retards, retards any longer?
And did Rush mention something about the White House holding a retard summit, similar to when the brouhaha erupted over the police officer arresting the AA professor for breaking into his own home and Obama held a beer summit?

Sister Sarah’s call for Rahm’s resignation was undermined by her good buddy Rush, and it’s even making the rounds on the MSM about Sister Sarah refusing to take on Rush and demand an apology.

And then there’s the taxes Sister Sarah and Mister Todd haven’t paid on their cabins in the wilds of Alaska.

I don’t know about you, but I am so looking forward to Sister Sarah addressing the Teabagger Convention and reading her commonsense, Christian conservative, regular American, moose-hunting, wolf killing words to rile that base.

And Rahm should resign because his hands are dirty from the Freddie Mac crap.

There.
Got that off my chest!

Rahm’s got dirty hands and this bothers me tremendously –

The Obama Administration rejected a request under the Freedom of Information Act to review Freddie Mac board minutes and correspondence during Emanuel’s time as a director.[32]

I don’t understand the reason that Obama appears to be protecting Rahm from scrutiny.
There’s something fishy about that one, imho.

As For Palin?
Who gives a rat’s ass what she says, especially since she doesn’t even write her own tweets!

What a hypocritical tool. I seriously dislike that crackpot corporate whore.

Asking for someone to be fired doesn’t take our responsibility away in how this health care reform became a debacle.

If Palin came out tomorrow in favor of ending DADT, we wouldn’t want to keep it in place for that same reason, right?

That would make us like the party on No.

I get the other feeling though. That it shows weakness. Just roll it out with say, another bigger cabinet/staff change. I hate giving AH her dream come true, but she and Timmy should get more time to spend together, perhaps? Not that I get whipped up in a tizzy over it; but he could score some ‘populist’ points.

It is a kind of cutting off our nose to spite our face, to keep a person in place that is sinking the Dem ship instead of replacing him with someone who may help because we don’t want some nitwit claiming victory.

The bottom line is that it wouldn’t matter if a new CoS got meaningful HCR passed.

We have to keep our eye on the ball, getting caught up in the politics of decisions is the enemy of good decisions. Not doing the right thing because of how others may crow about their calling for it is irrelevant.

It’s results that matter, not the politics of not trying to look like you messed up.

And IMO, there is no question that Obama messed up by selecting Rahm.

I do agree that Obama is entitled to have whomever he chooses as CoS and I will still support Obama if he continues to let Rahm screw up his agenda. However, I do think it is my responsibility as a Progressive Dem to shout out, “The Emanuel has no clothes!”.

Obama is not infallible, he’s made mistakes as all humans do. I feel strongly that he has made and is making a big mistake with Rahm and it is endangering his agenda, the opportunity for profound change and Dem control of Congress and the WH.

So, I still support a petition asking for Pres. Obama to consider firing Rahm and putting in a less corporatist, more progressive CoS.

I will suggest that it could take place after this incident has blown over though.
