DUDE!!
Congressman John Murtha (D-PA) died this afternoon. According to a spokesman from the Democratic party, Murtha died of complications related to a recent gallbladder surgery. He was 77 years old.
Scott Lee Cohen is leaving????
BUT WHY??!?!??!!! I mean, who hasn't held a knife to a hooker's throat? REALLY! So now, because some ex girlfriend-turned-prostitute-turned-Gloria Allred client says that he totally wouldn't make a good lieutenant governor (in her professional opinion), he decides to resign during Super Bowl XLIV at what absolutely HAS to be a Jimmy's Crab Shack?
Massive fail, Scott! Seriously. I'm tripping balls that I won't get a mid-term election season with a corrupt Lt Gov from Chicago slapping hookers around and forcing people to have sex with him in a 'roids rage!
Check out his primtime balls in the face to the media last night. I mean, seriously...on Super Bowl Sunday???? Fuck you, news reporters!!!!
And the man-child boo-hooing. I mean...I know he's a kid...but, DUDE! C'mon. Get your shit together. Fat children are supposed to be jolly.

How much do we LOVE Al Franken???
A big snunk-hunky-doree!
Politico gives the full play-by-play of his square off with David Axelrod over health care...um...reform?

No SOTU live blogging????
I know...it's OUTRAGEOUS. Unfortunately, I was driving through terrible Mid-Western weather. Fortunately, I came out alive. I also got to spend 24 hours with my favorite family members in my favorite house!

Campaign Finance...um...reform?
Not at all. But while everyone tries to figure out who Thursday's Supreme Court decision helps, state organizations are running around strategically plotting law suits. Because that's what we do in this country.
While the decision that the federal government cannot ban corporations from using general funds for independent expenditures during elections (um, like...advertisements and mailings in support of candidates) will extend to labor unions and other non profit special interest groups, the reality is that corporations outspend non profits 15-to-1 using funds funnled through PACs. And I happen to be an expert on this, my friends. So, being able to dip into the general treasury (profits for corporations, donations and member dues for non profits and unions/member organizations) does make things a bit lopsided. Nevertheless, there's loads of spin.
States like Michigan, with crazy strict campaign contribution laws, may see a positive impact on both sides of the line, but who really knows, right? Politics in the US have gotten so...well, unpredictable. (NYT)

Rolling the Blogs...
Friday edition. I have some personal quiet time owed to me, so here you go, kiddies:
A Chris Cillizza analysis of the incumbency disease and how people that used to be elected probably won't be anymore. Especially Bill Ritter...because he's resigning. But that makes sense. (WaPo's The Fix)
Steve Doocy (pronounced "douche-y" for a very special reason) says that if the Muslims (terrorists) can have a holy war, so can the Jesus people. Because the terrorists (Muslims) started it. (Wonkette)
Some say Obama going all bi-polar on banks and stuff means that Tim Geithner is probably on his way out. Whuh Oh...what say you? (CapHillBlue)
Apparently, Harry Reid is out doin stuff and saying things about not reconfirming Ben Bernanke as Fed Chair. And that doesn't make sense, because isn't he busy losing his mid-term election right now? How does he find the time? (HuffPost)
More Republican in-fighting. It's all quite confusing...and don't depend on Michelle Malkin to explain it to you. She said something about Brown and Palin wrongly campaigning for John McCain and all this nonsense about McCain being the number one thing to be scared of in America today. Like...even more than H1N1. (Townhall)
HOLD THE PHONE! Someone got their hands on an insider memo sent out to Democratic chiefs of staff on how to win in the aftermath of the Massachusetts special election? I'm thinking it's not that amazing and "insider-y" because it's posted on a blog. Also because, in America, it wouldn't be free. (AmericaBlog)

It's like that part from the movie "Independence Day"
You know - when the good ole US of A figured out how to kill the aliens, and they notified the rest of the world using Morse code. It's like that today in US politics; for Republicans, at least.The GOP wants to recreate a "Brown-out" (gross) across America in 2010. The problem is...did Brown really win because of some phenomenal plan, or did he win because Democratic candidate Martha CHOKEly sucks? It's most likely a little bit of both, but no matter your response - we cannot possibly let something like Scott Brown happen everywhere. I mean, we's dumb, but is we THAT dumb.
