What Channel?
jeffmiller:
squashed:
Obama is currently giving a press conference where he’s explaining the financial crisis intelligently.
What channel are you watching? I must be watching the wrong press conference. In the one I’m watching, the President is claiming that the current emergency requires that Congress give him expanded executive power. I’m either watching Bush in 2001 or Obama in 2009. (Or...

What a horrible, horrible thing to say. I wonder how the apologists are going to justify this one. What was he thinking going on air without his trusty teleprompter.

Bill Maher
wooliebear:
In light of this post from SoupSoup, here’s a few snippets from Bill Maher’s “debate” with Ann Coulter. (As I mentioned earlier I don’t care much for either one of them.)
He then lit into some, “Republicans are racist” jokes, which is strange considering some of the jokes he told: Republicans passed a bailout, that package was big even for a black man. Listening to Senator Roland...

The president spoke from a teleprompter in the ornate Indian Treaty Room for a few minutes. Then Gov. Gary Locke stepped to the podium and pulled out a piece of paper for reference.
