Joe Scarborough Is Launching the Most Boring Political Movement of All Time


If I asked you what the biggest problem facing American politics is, what would you say? Would you say "a lack of civility"? If so, get excited, because, oh boy do I have a political movement for you!

That's right! If you genuinely believe that the number-one thing wrong with American political culture is "hyper-partisanship" and not, say, the fact that one of the two major parties in this country has spent the last ten or so years electing actual crazy people to Congress, you will be deeply excited to know that MSNBC host Joe Scarborough and his deeply boring centrist friends—New York Mayor Mike Bloomberg, Sen. Evan Bayh (D-Ind.), Sen. Joe Lieberman, (I-Conn.), former Rep. Tom Davis (R-Va.), Rep. Chris Shays (R-Conn), ... (nods off)—are launching a "new national group dedicated to restoring civility in politics." Swoon! They had me at "Lieberman"!

Yes, "No Labels," (which was apparently launched last year? But is now being launched, also, next month? Get it together, centrists) which is the real name of this thing, is coming, and, according to Howard Fineman, it's got "organizational ambition and big-buck backers."

So get ready! Because nothing says "change for the better" like assembling a panel of unpopular former politicians to moan about how everyone ignored their technocratic center-right reform ideas, and nothing says "exciting" like "former New Jersey Governor Christie Todd Whitman."

Sarah Palin’s Enemies List


(List inside the link)

On November 30, 2010, in Uncategorized, by Tina Dupuy
These are media feuds that Sarah Palin has participated in from the last two years since she was launched from obscurity. It should be noted they are in no particular order. I’ve also omitted people who just flame her without her responding (e.g. Meghan McCain) but those are rare.

Quick math: there are around 60 in the last two years – roughly 29 months- that’s over two feuds a month. Every month.

1. LOL at all of this. Palin deserves the targeting, but, let's realize Scar's doing it for BushInc
and protecting THEIR grips on the Republican party. He's doing it for......Jeb's ascension.

4. One Label to rule them all, One Label to find them, One Label to bring them all ...
and in the darkness bind them

They are all Corporatists; this one label fits all parties.

Now everyone be blandly civil and do what the corporations want them to do.
