More bipartisanship from the Speaker of the House, leader of the most Transparent and Ethical Congress evah.

"We passed the bill in the House without one Republican vote."

Follow the link to a video of Speaker Pelosi getting heckled by what should've been a very friendly audience. Don't overlook the anti-Israel protesters on the stage, either. They're quiet, but they've got a giant sign about those terrorist JOOS.

Megyn Kelly: Actually, Elton John had a great time at Rush Limbaugh’s wedding

[dark-weezing.livejournal.com]

The entry is for anyone wants to talk about Elton John's appearance at Rush's wedding (or the hoopla thereof). Some on the Left aren't amused, which can be a given, anymore. Allahpundit has a pretty good take, so let us start from there:

obama, like al gore, now attempts to produce emotion

[writerspleasure.livejournal.com]

After spending several weeks expressing disdain for pundits' calls for President Obama to show more emotion and outrage about the environmental disaster in the Gulf - White House officials called it "method acting" and "theatrics" - President Obama showed some anger in an interview to air on NBC tomorrow morning.

"I was down there a month ago, before most of these talking heads were even paying attention to the Gulf," the president told Matt Lauer in a clip released this evening. "A month ago I was meeting with fishermen down there, standing in the rain talking about what a potential crisis this could be. And I don't sit around just talking to experts because this is a college seminar, we talk to these folks because they potentially have the best answers, so I know whose ass to kick."

Sarah and her mama grizzlies

. . . would be a good name for a rock band, as Dave Barry would say. :-)

But seriously, good piece here about Sarah Palin and the women she's endorsed. It'll be interesting to see how many of them make the cut tonight. I think Palin and these other women have done each other a lot of good. Palin has been something of a trailblazer for (relatively) young conservative female politicians. She took all the crap they threw at her and kept fighting, and in so doing, I think she took a lot of pressure off the next group of women coming up. Look how the personal accusations against Haley have gone over; a lot of people seemed to have rolled their eyes at the accusers and kept supporting the candidate. Would that have happened if the left hadn't made everyone sick of wild personal (and gender-based) mudslinging during the Palin campaign? I wonder.

And turn-about is fair play: If these women do well, it just might boost Palin's credibility a notch with the unconvinced.

Anyway, best wishes to the mama grizzlies!

Aw, that stinks!

Runoff for Haley!? I didn't realize she'd have to get 50 percent to be the clear winner. Like they're saying at HotAir, "Two more weeks of smears." Darn it.
