Michael Bloomberg & Joe Scarborough: The Independent Odd Couple for 2012
|
GOP frosh: Where's my health care? A conservative Maryland physician elected to Congress on an anti-Obamacare platform surprised fellow freshmen at a Monday orientation session by demanding to know why his government-subsidized health care plan takes a month to kick in. |
The article Howard Fineman wrote about a possible Bloomberg/Scarborough ticket in 2012 was interesting with one blatant error I found. He stated Joe Scarborough "kept his pledge to term-limit himself in Congress." Term limited, my foot. Joe quit as congressman in 2001 a few months after being re-elected to "spend time with my famly". Mr. Fineman should check his facts or is the misinformation about beady eyed Joe being spread early?
Of course, nothing was mentioned
about the dead aide found in Joe's office that same year he quit.

everywhere this week. He was on Matt Lauer, Sean Hannity, Oprah. And he got 50

to improve ties with Russia and to his broader strategy for reducing nuclear
arms worldwide.

Will Sarah Palin Take Heed?
The Tea Party vote helped Republicans retake the House. So congressional Republicans can count on Tea Party support for their whole agenda, right? Wrong. A letter to presumptive Speaker John Boehner and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell urges Republican legislators to concentrate on foundational Tea Party principles--smaller government, lower taxes--and to sidestep divisive social issues like abortion and gay rights.

"One of
the new proposals from a bipartisan commission released Wednesday suggested that
in order to bring down the deficit, the government would need to raise the
retirement age to 69 by the year 2075. So the next time a baby is crying on your

until they're 69 in new China." –Seth Meyers
