<p>What if someone outed one of these oh-so-unimportant office chairwarmers? </p>

<p>I mean, if Cheney's staff can out an undercover weapons prevention specialist from the CIA who travels regularly to the Middle East, it shouldn't be a stretch to out some weasel from the front office at Langley.</p>

<p>Sorry, but even Grover Norquist recognized that his ATR 'No New Taxes' pledge that he forces all Republicans to sign (see Crist and Rubio in FL this week) will never result in the 'Republican' government you wish for. </p>

<p>That's why he said his goal was "to drown the government in a bathtub." Ignoring that espousing the violent overthrow of the government is treason, the only way you'll get your dream is the dissolution of the United States as a government. </p>

<p>And since 70+% of voters now recognize your goals for what they are, well, enjoy wandering the wilderness for a few electoral cycles. </p>

<p>After what you've all done, it's the least you deserve.</p>]]>

		        <![CDATA[<p>This I can agree with. I understand why, if the other guy wants it to take 60, it takes 60. Them's the rules. It's just that the ReagaNazis never play by the rules.<br />
And man, can they work the media...</p>

<p>So, hell, yes, Harry should announce every day: " This is Day # of our President's team held hostage by the disloyal opposition." </p>

<p>Then he should start using his backroom powers. Be a shame, for example, if Lindsey Graham suddenly had his office handed over to incoming-Senator Franken, and got moved to a broom closet in the Dome... </p>]]>

<p>Check out this memo from Sen. Reid's office (couldn't find my PDF, but this blog over at Kos has the whole thing:<br />
<a href="http://www.dailykos.com/comments/2009/2/26/0157/51535/15#c15" rel="nofollow">http://www.dailykos.com/comments/2009/2/26/0157/51535/15#c15</a></p>

<p>Then review this piece from Ryan Grim (indeed!) over at HuffPo:<br />
<a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/02/23/the-myth-of-the-filibuste_n_169117.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/02/23/the-myth-of-the-filibuste_n_169117.html</a></p>

<p>They've sterilized it in practice, so that there are no negative public consequences, which would be oh so lovely in the time of C-SPAN. </p>]]>

		        <![CDATA[<p>Something smells. </p>

<p>The closer we get to prosecution, or a Truth Commission, or whatever, the more leaks the intelligence community puts out. Meanwhile, the Dick is talking more now than he ever did in office.</p>

<p><b>Are the leaks coming from Cheney's 'stay-behinds'?</b> </p>

<p>These were the installed loyalists and last-minute placements that Dick and Junior made on the way out.</p>

<p>Are we seeing the reason why they were left behind? If traced down, will we find out that many of them have no legitimate access to these docs, or this info, but were given it by the same VP Office that outed Plame, strong-armed the CIA and invented the need for torture?</p>]]>

		        <![CDATA[<p>Specter was 'left behind' by a party that became marginalized by its own litmus tests and ideological rigidity to those test results.</p>

<p>While I think what Harman did was stupid, and may end up being considered a crime, the idea that the Democratic party should run her and all her middle-roaders out of the party because they're not adhering to some magical 'Progressive Agenda'(and I'm talkin' to YOU, Orzsag!) is a great way to follow the GOP down the toilet, or worse yet, facilitate their resurgence.</p>]]>

<p>All done as a reaction to the fact that, even after all the good work Florida Republicans did gettin' them Darkies and them old Jews off the rolls from 2000 to 2008, that goddamned Kenyan STILL won Florida.</p>

<p>Stricter registration standards (government IDs only, nothing your retirement home or hospice issued,) felonies and fines to all registration drive operations that turn in invalid registrations, or forms older than 48 hours. Fewer polling places...</p>

<p>Goddamned MF'ing Republicans...And Coleman wants more lenient standards so he can steal this one.<br />
Goddamn Coleman, and that bastard lawyer of his that helped steal the presidency for Bush.....</p>
