1 Good for him. After watching The Incredible Shrinking Hillary, he figured things out.

2 Heh, seriously.  Obama appoints the guy, and then tries to take away the ONE thing that might make the job interesting (in an incredibly boring way) - the Census.  I'da quit too.

Qwinn

3 Winner!

4 With ted kennedy leaving today could this swing the crapulus vote? maybe 59 for?

5

So...which appointments haven't had problems?

I mean, there's one or two, right?

6 A ray of sunshine in a bleak week.

7 Best. Administration. Evah! And as a fellow Granite Stater, bless you Judd, for bailing out on this sinking ship...

8

Sen. Gregg, good for you.  Now fuck off.

9 Bet he wishes he had held on to that senate seat.  But this is great news in that it will spotlight the white house power grab for the census.

10 Where's Barry's bipartisanship now?  Better to tell Obastard to fuck off than be some gelded dweeb like Cohen was under Slick.

11

Not just the Census, the Stimulus also. Finally, a politician that is behaving like an adult.

I would agree with him that the President deserves a team that is fully supportive of his initiatives, which is why no upstanding Republican should even consider serving under Obama.

12 Hey Sen. Gregg, how does the sunshine look to you?  Glad you got your head out of the rectal tube.

13 Way to man up Judd. It took Obama kicking you in the nuts with the Census thing to do it but at least it reminded you that you had a pair.

Who the fuck wants to be Secretary of Commerce anyway? Especially when the only high profile part of the job, the Census, has been ripped out from under you anyway.

I'm wondering if the White House got spooked over the Constitutionality of the Census move and decided to push Gregg out and install a crony so they could leave it at Commerce?

14 Senator, uh, Gregg, and his decision are all part of our new, uh, uh, um, process to revitalize the moribund and ineffective, um, um, um, um, process and procedure to prevent unnecessary distractions in our, um, processes. This can only reassure the, um, uh, uh, people that our efforts will not, uh, uh, um, uh, uh, um, be delayed in processing our efforts to proceed, without, uh, the politics of distraction. And I won.

15 dan: he did hold onto the Senate seat.

16

Seriously, who names their kid Judd, with two Ds, when their last name already has two Gs?  What's his middle name?  Tomm?  Fucking stupid goober parents.  Or should I say Fuckingg Stupidd Gooberr Parentss?

Cool that he pulled out, though.

17 WTF?!  Republicans doing the right and honorable thing?! 

18 Bet he wishes he had held on to that senate seat.  But this is great news in that it will spotlight the white house power grab for the census.

Has he officially resigned yet?

19 Ball-dippin'!

Another fail for Barry by someone in a position to make a prominent call-out on his crap.

20

As much as the stimulus pisses me off, the census scares me a whole lot more.  If they are allowed to politicize this, the country could be gerrymandered into a permanent Dem majority.

 

21 This is not the Obama I thought I knew.

22 Can't wait to see how this plays on the nightly news.

23 He must not have any tax problems.

24 Very good that he pulled out. He finally figured out that bending over and getting fucked in the ass one too many times with this administration is not too fun..unless you are Barney Frank of course.

25 This is not the census I thought I knew.

26 I thought I heard earlier today that Pelosi was making the Dems sign some kind of loyalty agreement. If true, do you think there may be some Dems that were/are going to vote against Spendzilla?

27 I guess he decided he didn't want to be the One's shock-absorber in the coming trainwreck.

28 Next time I will read the item more carefully to avoid being a dumbass.

29 Goodd for himm.

30 I miss the Blago skull. It just isn't the same without the toupee.

31

#16

Do not forget our illustrious President, Jugg Eers.

32 So he's making an issue of the White House's Census power grab. Awesome. And the stimulus shit burger too, don't overlook.

33 That's hope I can believe in.

34

good on him! Ya know, it may not seem like much but I am thrilled for the Republicans. And if any poster or lurker reading this thinks it's only something the conservatives applaud-I am not a member of their base. I am not even a member of their party!

Yup, I am embarrassed and ashamed to admit that I have been a Democrat all my life and have voted Democrat until this last election when I voted straight Republican. Kiss my ass Zero and Dems on the Hill! All those Dems for McCain/Palin didn't now and won't be voting for a Dem in the future either, Millions upon millions of us, but you'll never hear that on MSM

35 Betcha his old opponent Dick Swett is saddened by the news.  Yeah, Dick Swett.  Not even a good pron name. 

Awesome--not even citing personal reasons, wanting to spend more time with the family, or tax fraud issues--backing out because he realizes his new boss is a jagoff. 

36

That's an extra vote against the spendulus. Now if they can just pick off one of those so-called moderate Dems.

 

37

Bet he wishes he had held on to that senate seat.

You sure about that?  That doesn't sound right.  If so  --  what a retard.

38 How much longer before Sir Edmund Hillary Clinton, N/K/A Secretary of State Hillary Clinton throws in the crying towel and resigns for personal reasons? O'Bambi already has his minions traveling the world, leaving Hillary in Washington to clean the 1500 Port-O-John's from the inauguration.  It's a shitty job, but some body's gotta do it, and that somebody is Cankles Clinton.

39 Cool that he pulled out, though.

Thats what she said.

40 unless you are Barney Frank of course. Don't knock it until you tried it, honey.

41 isn't the senate seat his until he submits a formal letter of resignation. He hasn't done that yet I don't think

42

23  He must not have any tax problems.

 

Thread winner

43

I miss the Blago skull. It just isn't the same without the toupee.

If Slu was really on top of his game, he would have a flaming skull with popping jug ears instead of the toupee.

It's gonna be a long 4 years and we are gonna need it.

44 I'm wondering if the White House got spooked over the Constitutionality of the Census move and decided to push Gregg out and install a crony so they could leave it at Commerce? Ugh Rocks, this depresses me.

45

Next time I will read the item more carefully to avoid being a dumbass.

This is not the dan in michagan I thought I knew!

46 Next up, Gates pulls out over flip flop on Afghanistan and the Tollybon.

47 Barry might have forgot to call him back. What is that other guys name...Zitto, Dorito,  Titto?

48 That Census thing is ridiculous.  Remember when such a power grab was a sign of the "Imperial Presidency" and a sure sign of encroaching fascism?  Yeah 2008 was a long time ago...

49 On ABC this Sunday, Joe Biden predicts the Vice-President will resign, not because of tax problems, and not for snorting coke from a hooker's ass, but because rumor has it that Biden is scheduled for a visit to Ft. Marcy Park for retraining. 

50 The way I figure it is that if 1 of the traitors backs out we can filibuster the stimulus package now. Gregg abstained, Kennedy is out. Do you think Spector is the weakest? what kind of pressure can we put on him?

51 Join real, Freedom & Liberty loving Americans in Beating the Stimulus!

52

If Slu was really on top of his game, he would have a flaming skull with popping jug ears instead of the toupee.

Or a bike helmet.  I believe someone else mentioned that here.

53 Tell me about it TSK9. I bet he appoints some dyed it the wool commie professor for Commerce now as a rubber stamp.

54

This is simply spectacular!  It is going to take individual acts of courage and integrity like this to stop the fundamental evil that is the n00bama administration.  This may not change much but every little bit helps, and it raises my spirits a bit to see integrity and courage of this sort.

You hear that you cowardly imbecile, Specter?

55 Orgasm over/under = 4

56 Don't worry, folks. The MSM will dutifully report this as an unprecedented opportunity for Lord Hussein Ur-Lincoln to create an even more bestest and awesome Extreme Cabinet. Moobs for everyone!

57 How about Maxine Waters for Commerce?  The woman is either batshit crazy or insanely dumb, maybe both.  Either way, endless comdey opportunities.

58 Ha Ha.  Barry is under his own bus. 

59 47 You mean General Zinni?

60 Wouldn't you love to know what hillary is thinking about all of this and bill?  Wow, have you ever heard these two as quiet as you hear them now? 

61 Da. Mostest. Competint. Adminishration. EVAR!

62 58 Ha Ha. Barry is under his own bus. ____ CLASSIC!!

63 Better yet Rengel, he already has the tax problems so he's half way there.

64 Yeehaw!

Kill the fatted pig.

"President Obama preselected reporters to ask questions at primetime press briefing"…DRUDGE

America anticipates the lip sync press conference.

The “victims” winning Bonanza Hog Obama's kitchen sinks were also posed.

65

I want to second whoever it was who suggested that Messiah Fuckups be headlined with a flaming skull  enhanced with a bicycle helmet and a chinstrap.

 

66 Good god there is actually a republican that holds to their convictions?

67 Republicans are such pussies.  Why couldn't this guy just come out and say that it is a violation of the constitution for Obama to do what he is doing and he won't be part of it?  The public can't buy your argument if you don't make it.  Fuck this being nice bullshit.

Nobody reading Judd's statement above would have the slightest idea that Obama is making a power grab.

68 Barack Obama is the Milli Vanilli of the chattering political class. 

69

MSNBC is reporting that the White House press office was totally caught by surprise.

Awesome.  Somebody call 911, I feel a 4 hour boner coming on.

70

Big deal.  We thought we got rid of a RINO in the Senate only to have him come crawling back so he can cast his vote for amnesty that surely will be thrust upon us again.  If  Bush had been any type of conservative instead of a moderate Democrat we wouldn't be in this mess in the first place.  Mitch Mconnell should resign immediately for leading these bunch of wimps.  I'm not supporting anyone that strays from my standards of conservatism.  

71 Headline should read: Gregg says to Obama :F*** you

If Thulsa Doom was gonna get away with the manipulation and use Gregg as a cover, then this is even better than if he hadnt tentatively accepted the nomination in the first place.  Cuz it makes TD look like a douche.

72

I do love the fact that he gives specific reasons about the power grab and stimulus, leaving the MSM and Zero no room at all to either try and spin it any other way or simply ignore it by not covering the story. This will get air time despite how much MSM doesn't want to do it.

73 Translation of Gregg's statement:

Fuck you, Obama, and the Trojan horse you rode in on.

74

BREAKING:

Little known item in the stimulus package: 475 million dollars for developing an exclusive shuttle bus for the President with the seats located on the bottom of the chassis for greater convenience.

75 The story isn't even up at ccn.com. They must be trying to splice together clips of Gregg's presser so as not to shed a negative light on The One.

76 Meanwhile over at dkos: Big mistake, Senator Gregg. Not only are you skipping out on an opportunity to serve your country, you're putting a big target on your Senate seat in 2010. Actually, anyone who voted for "the stimulus" package is going to be struggling on 2010.

77 @34 Jody C.  Your post makes me feel better than this news.  I've some democrat friends and some liberal friends.  There's a difference between the two, the biggest one is that my democrat friends aren't crazy.

78 Gregg pick for Commerce sparks partisan fight over 2010 census


That's how CNN is spinning it. Agree or your partisan.
You know what....I'm a Partisan!

79 Hmmmm, God, I would pay what good money is left in my SEP-IRA to be a fly on the wall of Hillary's office. If she and Billy aren't plotting some kind of subterranean plot, I will finally be convinced that initiative has died in The Nation Below Canada.

80 I used to think that Obama made Hillary look like a seasoned professional. Now he's making Biden look like a good man to have around. What's next?

81 Nice, and he didn't wait until tomorrow's media hole to do it.  Now all we need is pic of him and Zinni smoking a cigar at the Prime Rib tonight.

82

Or a bike helmet.  I believe someone else mentioned that here.

The failure to insert Daschle glasses on the skull during that debacle was a real downer. I don't know if any future additions will bring my spirits back to the level of skull/toupee.

83 You have to hand it to Gregg. He stood up and said fuck you Obama that's not how I roll.

84

I email Gregg yesterday for the 8th time.  I told him he needed to reconsider his position, that he was" a token, not a commitment".  It's like I got my wish, and you know that never happens!

 

I could not believe my ears, I had to drive home and read Ace to know it is true.

I think the Pubs are on a roll here, and I think Gregg will be a great influence.

85 SlaveDog says: "He must not have any tax problems." You win the internets!!!!!!

86 Another humiliation for Obama. Leadership in the real world turns out to be a pain for someone with no experience in it. Gregg was voting against the stimulus, and then was going to be Commerce Secretary? Crazy. No wonder he withdrew. The Census is a huge issue. The Republicans should threaten prosecution in 2013 if any Democrat politicizes the Census.

87 I will be working to reelect Gregg here in NH.

88

Heh. A nominee withdrew on principle, instead of tax evasion.

 Pity he's a Republican.

89

76 Meanwhile over at dkos:

Big mistake, Senator Gregg. Not only are you skipping out on an opportunity to serve your country, you're putting a big target on your Senate seat in 2010.

Actually, anyone who voted for "the stimulus" package is going to be struggling on 2010.

 

They love to make threats.  Now if they were anything other than the sputtering fools they are, we'd all be lampshades by now because of Bushitler and der Cheney.  Truth be told, who pays Kos any mind any more?   

90

Gregg was voting against the stimulus, and then was going to be Commerce Secretary? Crazy. No wonder he withdrew.

I thought he didn't vote at all.

 

91 Gregg now has some gravitas.  He can bitch from a position of clarity and strength -- "I was a team player trying to move the country forward, but ..."

92 Has anyone asked Nancy for a comment yet?

93 Skull with bike helmet, chin strap and HUGE ears!

94 I find your lack of faith disturbing. . .

95 Big mistake, Senator Gregg. Not only are you skipping out on an opportunity to serve your country, you're putting a big target on your Senate seat in 2010. He's a sitting Senator, he is serving and he just served us all. Gawd these people are dumb.

96 arne duncan sailed through-his failure to do anything to better a major urban school district populated by minorities made him perfect for the role.

97 @42 Whoops! ThreadWinner, you beat me to it. How about Honorable Mention to IP hash (fagDq)? "This is not the Obama I thought I knew." - Judd Gregg @21 Me? I just see it as a rat leaving a sinking ship.

98 Y'all will be calling him a RINO again next week.

99 Notice how the stock market, down 160 points all day, significantly closed the deficit to close down 6 points after Gregg's announcement. The DOW is scared to death of the spendulus.

100

I'm pretty new to this site, but still I'm not that surprised that AoS is scooping CNN.

Is AoS that good, or does CNN want to downplay the story?  

My guess is both.  BTW, if CNN is downplaying it, it's because they feel it isn't as pertinent as it needs to be, it has nothing to do with ideology and who the story could help or hurt.

101

I do love the fact that he gives specific reasons about the power grab and stimulus, leaving the MSM and Zero no room at all to either try and spin it any other way or simply ignore it by not covering the story. This will get air time despite how much MSM doesn't want to do it.

Yahoo's headline only mentions the stimulus.  That's how it will be spun, Republican obstruction of the stimulus, no mention of attempted politicizing the Census.  Because you know politicizing parts of the government that are Presidential appointments is no longer a bad thing like it was when Bush was in office.

102 God, I would pay what good money is left in my SEP-IRA to be a fly on the wall of Hillary's office. There are lots of flies in that room, but they're not on the wall. They're all probably swarming around her crotch.

103 Epic win!

Gregg should never have teased about it, but thank God he didn't fully commit. I'm sure he looked over at Hillary and saw how she has essentially been disappeared and thought, "You know, I'm going to be made even less important than I am now. And the bonus? I'll get blamed for trade component of the economic collapse I have no authority to oversee. Do I really want to be the fig leaf for Obama and then run over by him and Rahm 'Never Let a Crisis Go to Waste' Emmanuel?"

Nice to look at professional death in the eye and realize the truth. It focuses the mind.

104 Rm,

That's funny stuff. At which comedy club will you be appearing over the weekend. If you're local, I'd love to hear more jokes about how CNN is not motivated by politics.

105 Excuse my ignorance of civics, but since the bill already passed through the Senate, will Gregg have the opportunity to vote on the 'compromise' bill?

106 I love the final knife bit :"Nothing from the vetting process has anything to do with this".

Translation from Diplo-speak:  "I'm not a fucking tax cheat".

107 #99 Fuckin' awesome! Will no one open their eyes? Markets aren't stupid, they just detest uncertainty and a government that keeps changing the rules.

108 OT: Oh shit. http://www.greateramericanews.com/

109 Judd Gregg betrays america and our modern day Lincoln.

110 Gregg probably IS a rino, but I don't give a damn, because I am not a republican even in name.  But he still deserves credit for a successful geurilla hit on  the n00bama Marxfest.  It's gonna take a lot, but we need to discredit this socialist BS and put it on the trash heap of history for good. 

111 I would hope that Collins, Snowe and Specter WOULD TAKE NOTE!

It's called INTEGRITY!

Hey Arlen!  That Pelosi Pork Project still contains political intervention into medical treatment.  You going to vote against the bill now?  You said you would last week.  Or, like Obama, do your statements have an expiration date?

112

It is so refreshing to witness the actions of a man who is willing to stand for what is right.  Our country could use a few more good men and women of such honor.

My grateful praise for your strength of  character, Senator Gregg.

113

BTW, if CNN is downplaying it, it's because they feel it isn't as pertinent as it needs to be, it has nothing to do with ideology and who the story could help or hurt.

 

I'm sure.  The press would never do anything like that!

114 Agree with most of the comments here, RINO or not, Gregg deserves credit for taking this action and in a way, outsmarting Obama and his tiny dancer...Heh! Bet they were not expecting this!

115 It's gonna be a long 4 years...

I admire your optimism.

116

Way to be, Senator Gregg.

I hope you don't have any outstanding tax issues, because if you do, this story could turn on us faster than limburger cheese left out on a picnic table during the summer...

117 I'm not much of a political junkie but it seems to me like Senator is a better gig anyway.

118 Hm interesting, let's see how this works out, but it certainly is painful for President Obama.

119 I'll believe a successful fillibuster on this piece of shit marxist legislation when I see it. And maybe not even then.

120 He could have timed this to make weekend news, and maybe help kill stimulus.  If so, genius......

Call him anyway and thank him for highlighting this fraud and his snarky cabinet.

Call Snowe and Collins..Specter is getting 6.5 billion...PAY FOR PLAY THE CHICAGO WAY......

121 Has anyone else noticed how things are starting to look up now that we shipped Ace out of the country? Perhaps he should consider permanently setting up shop in Beirut?

122 76 Meanwhile over at dkos:

Big mistake, Senator Gregg. Not only are you skipping out on an opportunity to serve your country, you're putting a big target on your Senate seat in 2010.

Looks like Ned Lamont will be moving to Hew Hampshire.

123 Why do I always misread this guy's name as Judge Dredd?

124 HE'S SPEAKING LIVE NOW; it's on Fox News.

125 Awesome...

Gregg's actually pretty conservative- thus the shock for the nomination in the first place. So Obama gets burned, Gregg gets more cred and we get a solid R back where he belongs (not to mention we probably hold onto Gregg's seat in NH).

Epic win.

126

Without Kennedy, who apparently is not able to come to the Senate,  and Gregg who opposes it, the stimulus vote is down to 60. RINOs on the hot seat.

127 I guess the way the votes go now, according to the corner, is Collins - Snow & Specter did NOT want to be the 60th vote and now will be since Ted won't be their to vote so in a small way Gregg fucked the turncoats too. Brilliant.

128

The withdrawal appeared to take the White House by surprise, with members of the president’s media operation learning of Gregg’s decision from reporters.

LMAO. First that they didn't know, second that they couldn't cover it up and say "I'll have to get back to you on that, but of course I already knew."

129 what Rosely said.

130 Man those Kos idiots are arrogant. "Oppose Obama and lose your senate seat."

131

Does Barack Obama look like a bitch?

Does he?

Well, then why did you try to fuck him like a bitch?

Barack Obama doesn't like to be fucked by anybody but Mrs. Obama.

132

At least in part, Obama nominated Gregg to make the Senate veto-proof. It's possible that Gregg's abstinence on the original Spendulus was part of the price.

The Republican leadership could not have convinced Gregg to return to vote on the reconciliation package unless his vote actually meant something. Doesn't that suggest that Specter, Collins, and Snow have returned to the fold?

The fact that Republicans were excluded from the reconciliation gives them cover. And the new bill is even farther from the Republican plan than before.

So a filibuster may be taking shape. 

 

133 Tell us what he says Cyn

134

Barack Obama doesn't like to be fucked by anybody but Mrs. Obama Mrs. James Brown.

135 Barack Obama doesn't like to be fucked by anybody but Lieutenant Worf.

136 The Kos stoopids are just pissed that Gregg - who they did NOT LIKE in the first place-- punked their messiah.

137

Hey Arlen!  That Pelosi Pork Project still contains political intervention into medical treatment.  You going to vote against the bill now?  You said you would last week.  Or, like Obama, do your statements have an expiration date?

 

Skeletor's statements are typically inane ramblings or mumblings.  Since he seems to lack any spine his statements are by rule meaningless.

138

I'm not liking the praise he gave Zero but at least it was phrased so Zero can't come back and say " Repubs don't want to be bipartisan". Plus you could tell by Judd's that he knew it was all phony bullshit compliments as he was saying it.

 No doubt, it's clear even withoututtering the actual words, it was the census power grab and stimuturd were the reasons. Narcisist don't handle rejection like this well, Zero will be pissed privatley and look for giving retribution on the sly.Screw him

139 Does this mean he's going to vote against the stimulus bill? Can he wrangle his neighboring senators into joining him?

And one really has to wonder what kind of philosophy Obama governs under ... how do you go from Bill Richardson to Gregg and still stake any claim to intellectual honesty?

140

"Barack Obama is the Milli Vanilli of the chattering political class..."

That, somehow, must be racist but I just can't quite pin it down.

141 It's off now; Glenn Beck interrupted his show for a few moments. He was not smooth talking; he almosted seemed aggitated. He said that it became apparent to him that he was being asked to be part of a team to which he could not give 110%. He believed that there was more he could do with his experience as a former governor and legislator.

142 "Barack Obama doesn't like to be fucked by anybody but Mrs. Obama."

The fuckin' wookie.

143 Rahm Emanuel is in the anti room adjacent to the Oval Office performing the duty of wiping O'Bambi's ass after the Judd Gregg butt fucking. 

144

From Fox News; looks like a transscript.

Sen. Gregg stated, "I want to thank the President for nominating me to serve in his Cabinet as Secretary of Commerce. This was a great honor, and I had felt that I could bring some views and ideas that would assist him in governing during this difficult time. I especially admire his willingness to reach across the aisle.

However, it has become apparent during this process that this will not work for me as I have found that on issues such as the stimulus package and the Census there are irresolvable conflicts for me. Prior to accepting this post, we had discussed these and other potential differences, but unfortunately we did not adequately focus on these concerns. We are functioning from a different set of views on many critical items of policy.

Obviously the President requires a team that is fully supportive of all his initiatives.

I greatly admire President Obama and know our country will benefit from his leadership, but at this time I must withdraw my name from consideration for this position.

As we move forward, I expect there will be many issues and initiatives where I can and will work to assure the success of the President's proposals. This will certainly be a goal of mine.
Kathy and I also want to specifically thank Governor Lynch and Bonnie Newman for their friendship and assistance during this period. In addition we wish to thank all the people, especially in New Hampshire, who have been so kind."

145 It's just poetic justice that this screws Specter too. He did not have to be apart of craptastic, but his gynormous ego needing to be acknowledged got the best of him yet again. Specially given that the idiot went on TV complaining it was all too fast and then saying he did not know but would not vote for the socialized medicine.

146 Bipartisan this!

147 "Rahm Emanuel is in the anti room adjacent to the Oval Office performing the duty of wiping O'Bambi's ass after the Judd Gregg butt fucking."

Wiping?

More like lapping him clean.

"Tough guy"

148 Here's the linky to that Fox News statement by Gregg.

149 #140 No, it's isn't racist to make reference to Milli Vanilli... Vanilla beans usually come from parts of the world largely non-white, and often black. Think Madagascar vanilla beans. Of course, in Milli Vanilli's case, the flavor was entirely artificial, and somehow that does apply to Lord Unicorn O'Lincolnbeard...

150 Was Sen. Gregggggg recently visited by two representatives of the RNC named Joey Mousepad and Clamps who explained to him what would happen if he's seen fraternizing with Democrats?

God, I hope so.

151 CNN has some folks on to discuss this but they're breaking for commercial so I didn't get anything. Sometimes I like to watch the lefty stations to see how they end up spinning shit.

152 I disapprove.  The one good thing about Greg at Commerce was that he could fight for control of the census.  Now Obama will just appoint someone who won't complain when the census is uinofficially run out of the white house.

And he missed his chance to vote no on the spendulus.

153 "Barack Obama doesn't like to be fucked by anybody but Mrs. Obama."

The fuckin' wookie.

She's not a fuckin' wookie. She's a fuckin' Klingon.

Remember: Star Trek is Democrat sci-fi. Star Wars is Republican sci-fi.

155 Can they call it up for a re-vote? I know they still won't have the numbers...

156 Remember: Star Trek is Democrat sci-fi. Star Wars is Republican sci-fi.

Posted by: Aaron at February 12, 2009 05:40 PM

Um, I beg to differ, sir. Would you mind stepping out behind the building with me so we may discuss this further?

157 Toby--

He blew the whistle on Obama's Census Sneak before it could get entrenched.  He's done it in a way where the media can't ignore his reasons, and must publicize the politicization of the Census.  Except for resigning after the Census is already underway, what could he have really done as a cabinet member when the Pres wants it his way?  This way they bust the gang before they're robbing the bank.

158 Oooh ooh fight.

159 Star Trek is Democrat sci-fi. Star Wars is Republican sci-fi. "Lost In Space" is Ross Perot sci-fi.

160

As the great physicist I. Rabi said about Werner Heisenberg when Heisenberg agreed to support the Nazis during WWII and lived to regret this decision:

"He agreed to sup with the Devil, but found that he hadn't brought a long enough spoon."

161 Remember: Star Trek is Democrat sci-fi. Star Wars is Republican sci-fi.

Tell that to Georgie Lucas and watch his head explode.

BABYLON 5 IS REPUBLICAN SCI-FI.

162

Nice to see a guy willing to step off the Titanic. Once Obama had made the power grab for the Census (and watch the truly strange census figures that will come out of the White House) the job of Secretary of Commerce --in V. P. John Nance Garner's words--wasn't worth a bucket of warm shit.

So good for you Senator Gregg--and a fairly classy turn down. 

Now as for the Anointed One's power grab; let's just suppose that in 2000 or so, Karl Rove and Dubya had decided to move the Census Office and program into the White House.  The douchebags in the MSM would still be howling like turpentined tomcats to this day.  But when the Anointed One does it?  Not a peep.

163 actual thread winner:

Big mistake, Senator Gregg. Not only are you skipping out on an opportunity to serve your country, you're putting a big target on your Senate seat in 2010

----

so helpful of our nutjob opponents pointing out what we are doing wrong in an effort to defeat them. Much like the Palin derangment. It's like to telling Mohamed Ali "your rope-a-dope isn't working and your going to lose unless you stop throwing bazooka packed punches to his glass jaw".

You know something is working when Dems point out how much it hurts Repubs and they shouldn't do it if they want a chance in 2010 or 2012. McCain had it right to point out Biden was the gift that kept giving and that's all that was said about the albatross around Dems neck.

167 Just read CNN's post about this - not a single mention of Obama's census power grab. Instead they mention the census issue as the kerfuffle that began because Repub. Jugg was nominated for the Commerce position and minority groups thought Judd would be a racist and deny them power.

168

172 Breaking News -- Spectre, McCain issue joint resolution demanding NC strip Gregg of his GOP affiliation, on the grounds that he is overqualified, having at least one working testicle...

173 Speaking of Crazy Scranton Joe, where's he been? Guess they got him locked up in the attic.....

174 AFAIK the "compromise" Mega-Crapulous bill still has to be voted on just as if it was a new bill, and Gregg will have a vote as any other Senator.  He had one last time, since he had not resigned, but he chose not to exercise it.  No reason not to now, and note that he mentioned the Census AND the Crapulous as reasons.  In fact he mentioned Crapulous first.

175 Good morning Iraq! Let me say this first stop on my Westminster victory tour will always have a special place in my heart. yeah, Iraq give it up for yourself! I just lo-o-ove being in a place that smells like ass. (drinks from water dish) And I'd like to - gack! Accck! Huuuuuaaaaagghh! Sorry, sorry about that. Let me just eat that puke before anybody steps on it. Mmmm, just like Mom used to make. Hey, too bad the Japanese Prime Ministers not here. I keed. I keed. Ah, don't really feel to good. Getting dizzy. I- Aaaaaaaahhhh! God, my spleen! You bastards! You shot me! Oh, man that hurts. I.....Uh,........everthing's going black. Cold. I.... Fuckers.

176 Instead they mention the census issue as the kerfuffle that began because Repub. Jugg was nominated for the Commerce position and minority groups thought Judd would be a racist and deny them power. Are they fucking kidding? It was Obastard who chose Gregg. So is he a closet racist? Why would Barry choose a vile bigot to head Commerce? Is Barry ever responsible for anything that goes on in his Badministration?

177 Everyone keeps focusing in on Gregg's abstention in the first porkulus vote as if him voting against it would have mattered.  The only votes that matter are the RINO 3s' votes for cloture.  Adding more to the nays only has an effect if they are votes being pulled from the yeas.

178 Is Kennedy that sick?  I mean, I don't wish anything bad....

179 "It was Obastard who chose Gregg." They also spent a couple paragraphs lying -- i mean spinning - i mean highlighting - that J. Gregg politicked Obama hard for the position. Not the other way around.

180 Now.. IF conservative Maniacs could just be a pebble in the shoe of those two Senators.

181 He turned it down and said why.  Should be interesting to see how msm spins this kiss off..

182 George Orwell @ 176 You kidding? Obama is not touched by anything. I'm perfectly amazed that the guy goes campaigning for the Spendulus and people are blaming Reid and Pelosi for it. Hey Obama wants it too. And don't get me started with Geithner. Reading the Philly Inquirer (yeah that right wing rag) it says the he flopped on Wall Street. No mention of who actually nominated the tax cheat. See none of this is Obama's fault.

183 I used to think that Obama made Hillary look like a seasoned professional. Now he's making Biden look like a good man to have around. What's next?

It's amazing, isn't it!  And here we are cheering on Hillary and Bill to stage some kind of gloriously awful coup!

184 If Crapulous fails tomorrow and the stock market skyrockets what are the headlines going to be?

185

Big deal.  We thought we got rid of a RINO in the Senate only to have him come crawling back so he can cast his vote for amnesty that surely will be thrust upon us again

 

When they first announced the rumor about him going to Commerce I researched his record. While he is a squishy on abortion and eco-shit he is fairly conservative on everything else. He IS a fiscal conservative and that was the main reason that was sited for him turning it down. He had irreconcilable differences with the spendulous package.

 

He is nowhere near as liberal as the rest of the congressmen from that area and especially the terrible trio of traitors.

I admire your optimism.

I don't know, Deb, but I'm starting to feel a Carteresque aura rising around this administration.  Clueless on the economy, check.  Over the top ego married with unjustified arrogance, check.  Dangerous foreign policy instincts in a dangerous time in the middle east, double check.

If Barry keeps this up, the honeymoon is gonna be very short indeed.

191 Here's Gregg's speech at CSpan linky

192 Thank You Sherlock

193 Seems like the Democrats didn't read all the provisions of the stimulus plan.  It looks like there was a set of balls included for all the congressional republicans. 

Unfortunately the Republicans couldn't add correctly and asked for 3 pairs less than what was required.

194 You do realize that this officially makes it ONE QUARTER of Obama's Cabinet picks failed to make it to their intended offices.  (Daschle, Richardson, Gregg). This doesn't even count Killefer and Solis (whom is still technically nominated, yes?)

BEST TRANSITION EVAR!!

195

If Crapulous fails tomorrow and the stock market skyrockets what are the headlines going to be?

"Obama, gracious in defeat, follows his own bipartisan instincts and allows stockmarket to rise."

196 If Crapulous fails tomorrow and the stock market skyrockets what are the headlines going to be?

Wouldn't that be fun to see.

198 So the senate needs to vote for cloture once again? I thought that was already done and now it's a simple majority vote.

199 Major Garrett is reporting that the WH knew several days ago that Gregg was going to pull out, yet Obambi is telling an AP reporter that he was surprised by the news. I'm guessing that the WH is still having trouble with the phone's and email, no? HA!

200 You know what the worst part of this is?


Ace doesn't even know!

201 177 Everyone keeps focusing in on Gregg's abstention in the first porkulus vote as if him voting against it would have mattered.

Consider this, though:  The man Barry thought was best to head Commerce ditched the job because he thought the job was a turkey.  That either means Barry's a bad judge of appointees or legislation.  Either way, it's damaging, whether or not it turns the tide.

202 173 Speaking of Crazy Scranton Joe, where's he been?

I hope you don't have any outstanding tax issues, because if you do, this story could turn on us faster than limburger cheese left out on a picnic table during the summer...

Yeah, he'd better be squeaky clean, because anything the least bit dirty or dingy IS going to come out. The MSM, State and Fed bureaucracies will see to it.

To honor the spirit of "Obe the Hairsplitter", I just want to mention that Gregg cannot withdraw the nomination.  Only Obama could do that, which I am sure the MSM will imply Obama actually did so that Gregg could spend more time with his family, parole officer, other pedophiles, etc.

Gregg can only withdraw his name from the nomination.

Thank God.  The Census issue should be hammered home relentlessly!!  Classical history has countless lessons to be learned from this issue.  The CENSOR was the most powerful single position in the Roman Republic.. more powerful than even the Consulship.  Theres a reason why the position of Censor was abolished.

Could all these FOOLISH moves by Obama simply be because he's black, and didn't get a traditional upbringing with lessons of the history of western civilization?  I doubt he took those crucial courses in university, considering he was a rabid black nationalist. I mean all you need to know is the fact that he thinks Cleopatra was black... Rev. Wright taught him well... uhhh ?

The savior based economy.  God help us

The rifle team lost their goalie at the last moment, and so Obama nominated Joe to stand in.

229 Gregg also apparently revealing that he will NOT seek reelection in 2010. Politico has decent story with several coverage points. Hey, at least the Congressional Black Caucus is happy, and that's really what counts most./

230 Good for him - we need to see more Republicans saying "that's enough" and a few Democrats, too.

231 ya'll remember Billy Madison when the Odoyles are chanting "Odoyle rules" as they drive off the cliff......

232 Right now Google is getting hit with hundreds of searches originating from the Beltway area, along the lines of Judd Gregg and marijuana, Judd Gregg and cocaine, etc... The problem is, there not finding anything. Judd Gregg is clean. Now, if they did a search for Barack Obama and marijuana, Barack Obama and cocaine...

Posted by: lorien1973

Who is ignoring the fiscal con beliefs? Sen Gregg mentioned the stimulus package as one reason he couldn't sign on to this administration. Good for him.

If Gregg supports amnesty for illegals, that has  both social and fiscal consequences, no?

Cyn, where do you see that?  I only kinda skimmed through the article, and I listened to his presser, but I don't see that anywhere.

243

Barack Obama at the announcement of Gregg's nomination to Commerce (from Geraghty at NRO)

When the book is written about Judd Gregg, it will tell the story of a man with his own proud record of service on behalf of the American people.  As a businessman, attorney, state executive councilor, congressman, governor in his own right, and now as a senator, he's seen from all angles what makes our economy work for communities, businesses, and families — and what keeps it from working better.  As former chairman of the Senate Budget Committee and Committee on Health, Education, Labor and Pensions, Judd has been involved in nearly every facet of public policy.  And as Commerce Subcommittee chair on the Senate Appropriations Committee, he's already quite familiar with the department I've chosen him to lead.

Judd is famous — or infamous, depending on your perspective — on Capitol Hill for his strict fiscal discipline.  It's not that he enjoys saying "no" — although if it's directed at your bill you might feel that way — it's that he shares my deep-seated commitment to guaranteeing that our children inherit a future they can afford.

Clearly, Judd and I don't agree on every issue — most notably who should have won the election.  (Laughter.)  But we agree on the urgent need to get American businesses and families back on their feet.  We see eye to eye on conducting the nation's business in a responsible, transparent, and accountable manner.  And we know the only way to solve the great challenges of our time is to put aside stale ideology and petty partisanship, and embrace what works.

As one of the Republican Party's most respected voices and skillful negotiators, Judd is a master of reaching across the aisle to get things done.

 

Go ahead, Barry, try to throw him under the bus now.

244

Once again. RINO defined as someone who isn't a social con; while completely ignoring their fiscal con beliefs - which are -FAR- more important at the moment.

Leaving aside the question of what the definition of a RINO is, you're being taken for a ride here.

But filling the country with Obama voters will guarantee that the current spendulus bill will seem like small change in the near future.

245 CNN will report it as soon as they can stop crying.

Hillary and Gregg both saw what CNN refuses to see, that this White House, with all its czars and Rahm's long reach, is the most political and the most executive-driven White House since FDR.

If all his people are czars, what is he, emperor?

247 >>That's fantastic. Like a platoon of ninjas riding velociraptors, bursting forth from a giant can of whupass, covered in awesome sauce.

The obsequious loons of the national media, who are largely responsible for Mr. Obama’s election, have convinced this brash and bold neophyte that he is a god worthy of worship and destined for greatness. Colloquial television appearances and glib utterances do not a statesman make. Barack Obama is destined all right, but he is not destined to greatness.

252 The failed presidency of Barry just rolls along.

253 Somewhere, up in Heaven, a Unicorn cried.

254 Gregg had no back taxes to pay and was therefore not eligible for the BO stimulus plan. This whole "resignation" is just to allow Gregg to save face.

255 242 CB: I didn't watch the whole presser at 14 min in length at the CSPAN site, but culled it from the Politico article: "In a press conference Thursday evening, Gregg also said he will “probably not” run for reelection to the Senate in 2010."

256 @251: You mean Michelle in front just didn't cut it?

257 How much y'all wanna bet that the next nominee has tax problems or some other scandalous shit? I'll wager some Valu-Rite, hobo bait and a couple of big breasted hookers with low self esteem that I have in my basement.

260 Thanks, Cyn!  AP's got a new Gregg post up at HA and refers to that as well.  He links to a video at MM from Feb. 2, but I can't stand to watch another long video at this point -- will just take everyone's word for it!

261 I believe in a 'big tent' for the GOP, but that also implies you define where the tent's boundaries are.

As far as I'm concerned, the hard-core creationists and pro-life zealots are in the tent, but there the ones that all talk to their own kind a little too loudly and the rest of us give them a wide berth and try to ignore them. 

Graham and McCain kinda hang around just inside the tent flap but never quite leave, and never quite give anyone enough excuse to boot them out.

The Maine twins are betting that Obama and Pelosi bury the Granite State in earmarks, so they can go back to the Senate on the basis of "If you're gonna be a whore, be an EXPENSIVE one."

Specter about now looks like he's ripe for a big boot on his posterior.

Personally, I want all the creationists and the pro-life zealots who will not let the GOP stop shrieking 'ABORTION IS MURDER'  to get on a boat with the bipartisan open-borders crew and the Dem gun-grabbers and climate-fraudsters and ALL just go away, and let the rest of us sweep up.  Thank you.

>>Republicans Block Stimulus, Stock Market Turns Favor, Helping Only Rich White Men.

The Republicans, by their own hand, have been rendered impotent and ineffectual. They have become increasingly irrelevant in regard to setting a moral and honorable course for the nation. Falsely believing that they are dealing with estimable people of an opposite party they have failed to plumb the depths of the nastiness of the socialist heart. Despite the fact that Republicans have been able to observe the works and mark the words of the likes of Ted Kennedy, Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, Al Gore, Barney Frank, Joe Biden and those of George Cloony, Susan Sarandon, Leonardo Di Caprio, Michael Moore, and the other socialist lunatics of the entertainment industry and the congress they just never learn. They seem to be incapable of discerning the dark spirit of the socialist mind. If the actions of the aforementioned and of such groups as PETA, The Green Groups, and other socialist radical collectives have not educated them to the meanness, blackness and nastiness of the socialist psyche then there is no hope for them/us.

I am having a great night. I am thrilled to Gregg back as my Senator.  I am thrilled that he was very human, polite, Yankee, Republican, family oriented and respectful.  He made a point several times  sharing his process of independence, doing what he thinks is right and his style.  He seemed to make a iron proof pitch to the people .  Integrity makes you unable to serve Obama!

As luck would have it, he didn't follow the WH rules on when he was suppose to resign...he told them 2 days ago. They are saying they are surprised he told people today. When were the WH people wanting this to drop?

So much for transparency  in BO's Badministration.

298 Hi everyone, I would have chimed in earlier, but I was watching Gregg's comments live and I've been beating my dick like an illegal combatant ever since. I both admire and am disgusted by Gregg's delicacy in declining the job. Admire, because it is a skill I don't possess. Disgusted by, because the writing was on the wall from the get-go. Obama: "Hey, would you like to come to Commerce to be my pet Republican? Just so you don't fuck with my plans to gerrymander the entire fucking country, I'm going to put my miniature ballerina in charge of the census. Now kiss my fucking ring and tell the cameras how wicked awesome this stimulus bill is going to be for the economy." If the President had tried to pull my Man Card in such a fashion, I would have ass-raped him at that presser and laid it out in plain English - "Obama wanted to remove a Republican from the Senate and have the Democrat governor replace him with another libtard sycophant, while at the same time, removing the largest responsibility the SecComm has and giving it to his faggoty chihuahua, Rahm Emanuel." And then I would have done a ninja backflip off the stage, landing on Helen Thomas' throat with my tree-climbing ninja toe-claws while I gave Jake Tapper a wink and told him "Stay gold, Pony-Boy."

299 No, it's true! In the 23rd Century, we don't use money. We use BJ's. Chekov owes 20, and McCoy, 10. The real pisser is Spock - I'm down 100 with the SOB. I swear I'm turning green. On the other hand, Nurse Chapel hands out BJ's like she's gone Warp Factor 9, if you know what I mean!

303 For dessert, Barry Hussein Ur-Lincoln will be served a tasty dish of sweet crow. ABC News... EAST PEORIA, ILL. — President Obama today repeated the claim we asked about yesterday at the press briefing that Jim Owens, the CEO of Caterpillar, Inc., “said that if Congress passes our plan, this company will be able to rehire some of the folks who were just laid off.”… But after the president left the event, Owens said the exact opposite. Asked if the stimulus package would be able to stop the 22,000 layoffs or not, Owens said, “I think realistically no. The truth is we’re going to have more layoffs before we start hiring again” “It is going to take some time before that stimulus bill” means re-hiring, he said.

304 @299: Aye, Captain, but Nurse Chapel can't take it anymore! She wasn't built for so many! I don't think she can take it anymore! You've got to slow her down!

305 Obama math: Caterpillar Tractor lays off 5,000 workers in 2008. By 2011, they have re-hired all five thousand = OMG TEN THOUSAND JOBS SAVED AND/OR CREATED!!11!!onehundredeleven!!!1!1

Barry had this to say about the Caterpillar CEO.

They sent in their best man.  And when we roll down the 69th street

315 Speaking of "covered in awesome sauce", people should maybe drop by Senator Gregg's mailbox with an "attaboy". I know that I normally write Congresscritters to bitch and snarl, so I figured it would really stand out if he got some positive reinforcement.

316 Obama told a crowd in Peoria, Illinois, that we must spend to get ourselves out of the recession. I'm sorry, come again? Didn't Bush get criticized by BARRY for suggesting this very thing after 9-11?

317

Were we all listening to the same Gregg speech? In the one I heard, he didn't sound so much like a Heroic Republican. There was a definite mention of "carrying the President's water" in the Senate. That had a considerable ick factor.

Carrying water is one thing, but in the Senate you have to grasp the hose it flows through. Lovingly. With a little fillip at the tip of the tongue. 

Sorry, I'm voting meh on this one. I think the big bills just got 4 GOP votes.

318 Nice to see a guy willing to step off the Titanic.

319 309-There was a reference in ST IV to there being no money in the future-because Kirk couldn't pay for the pizza and beer.  In TNG, you can get everything you want out of a replicator or on the holodeck, so there wasn't any real need for 'money.'  On the other hand, Quark on DS9 was all about the latinum strips, so maybe it's just Star Fleet that operates money free.

If Gregg were going to vote for this crap, why would he have abstained when the Senate bill was being voted on?  I figured he abstained because he wanted to vote no, but didn't want to piss off Obama.

Otherwise, I do agree with your comment. 

322 This is easy people start seeking rent , or rent seeking . Apparently one is much better than the other .....

323 Superglutes Andy is coming unglued posting about this -- I think he's near 20 on the Gregg subject -- his most recent this hour is "Andrew Sullivan / The Daily Dish: The Census Canard — Again, this is not a real issue." spin, spin, hack, spin

324 So has rationing started at the AoSHQ? Only four measly posts today?

325 oh and superglutes suggests that the census power grab is fiction and a racist GOP fantasy "This issue was championed by Republicans for the usual "the-darkies-are-taking-over!" reasons. "

326 In The Federation, the need for "money" is outdated.  With the limitless energy provided by advanced fusion and matter/antimatter reactors, and all food, clothing, housing, you name it, you can get it from replicator technology freely available to everyone, why would you need "money"??

Only species outside The Federation use "credits", and if you were gonna trade with one of those species, you just replicate some item they are willing to trade for and swap for some of their credits that you can use for other dealings.

100% profit.  What Capitalist wouldn't groove on 100% profit??

Granted there are some "liberal" aspects to The Federation, but you wouldn't have to subscribe to them...  Take your mini-reactor, replicator and transporter, haul your ass off to Bumfuck, Montana, build your log cabin, a la J.T.Kirk, and tell the rest of the world to piss off..

That's my plan.

327 Allahpundit goes insane yet again. Check him out after Malkin reams the handout crowd at Barry's rally, on Beck's show: I take MM’s point about housing not being a civil right, but this goes back to what I said the other day about stimulus polls: When the economy’s in crisis, the only politicians who’ll be willing to vote en masse against entitlements and be portrayed as “callous” are ideologues of a Reagan/Paul degree of libertarian purity. And it’s going to be a long, long time before they’re a majority of the GOP again. However fine this argument is theoretically, politically it’s a non-starter. WTF? So, don't even make the argument, I guess. After all, if telling the truth is a "non-starter," why bother to try convincing anyone at all? This is equivalent to giving up before you've even started the race. And I see just a wee bit of discrepancy when he lumps Reagan together with Ron Paul. What is the matter with this guy?

328 Sen Gregg? Kudos. However, pulling out at the last minute is not a recommended strategy. Abstinence from Democrat administrations is the only way to be sure your career will not contract a communicable disease. (Does it burn when you pee yet?)

367 Are you ready for the AP's spin on this?

Analysis: Obscure post gives Obama big headache

WASHINGTON – Quick, who headed the Commerce Department under President George W. Bush?

No disrespect to Carlos M. Gutierrez, but commerce secretary is not one of Washington's more glamorous jobs. It's overshadowed by first-tier Cabinet posts at Justice, State, Defense and Treasury. Scores of senators, House members, Supreme Court justices and White House aides would draw more attention at a Georgetown cocktail party or DuPont Circle restaurant.

Especially with Gregg, a down-the-line conservative Republican, Obama took a gamble by inviting a potential naysayer into his inner circle. If critics want to portray Obama as misguided or opportunistic, they won't get much help from Gregg.


Obscure? Yes, I don't think anyone has ever heard of the Commerce Department. Gregg is a "down-the-line conservative"?

368 clogged toilet on the poop deck

Heh. Heh heh heh heh.

369 "Scores of senators, House members, Supreme Court justices and White House aides would draw more attention at a Georgetown cocktail party or DuPont Circle restaurant." ...which explains why Bill Richardson was set to give up his governorship of New Mexico: just so he could be overshadowed at cocktail parties by the men's room attendants. Can AP get any more sycophantic and shameless?

372

You know it was a good day when Andrew Sullivan is saying this: 

 

It gets clearer. When Judd Gregg approached the Obama administration to see if he could be a part of it, he was assuming that his own party wasn't going to adopt a policy of total warfare against the newly elected president in a time of enormous economic peril. Between that moment and the current all-out ideological assault on Obama, his position became untenable. His recusal on the stimulus package provoked fury at home (check out the comments here) and dyspepsia among the GOP who are intent on responding to an open hand with a clenched fist.

I have to say even I am a little taken aback by the force of the Republican assault. Even in a downturn as swift and alarming as this one, even after an election that clearly favored one approach over another, even after the most conciliatory efforts by an incoming president in memory, these people have gone to war against the president. The president should stay cool. The rest of us should realize what motivates the GOP: the opportunism of selective ideology.

373 What would they have done without anomalies? And wormholes. And reversing the polarity.

374 Quote of the day  Newt "lets hope he's not like Lincoln... he led us into a Civil War"

375

Sullivan has about five posts on how the GOP got to Gregg like Tony Soprano gets to witnesses.  Earth to Andrew, if the GOP had that kind of pull they would go after Arlen Specter and the girls. 

 

Why don't you accept the more obivous position that Gregg was really offended by this pork-u-lus and voted his conscience?  You used to be a fiscal conservative Andrew, what the fuck happened? 

376 Would someone explain to me again how it is that Andi promotes himself as "conservative" and has a paying job shitting his psychosis all over the pages of the Atlantic?

377 Gonna be interesting to see how the 3 weird sisters vote Friday. Based on hearing her speak, I'd say Collins is dumber than an empty Old Milwaukee bottle, don't know about Snowe. Specter seems to me to be a coot who doesn't like to be jerked around with and it looks to me like the Dem's took him out for a couple of rounds of pimp slapping: He votes for their bill, doesn't get a seat at the reconciliation table, and as a parting shot Menendez today announces that Specter's seat will be 1 of 10 esp. targeted in 2010. Republicans announce a probable serious primary challenge, just to sweeten the deal. A NO vote sticks it to Reid and might mitigate a primary challenge. One can only hope Specter is the bastard I think he is.

393 The wheels coming off the Obama bus? Are you kidding? Everyone thinks this guy is operating under normal rules, where there are consequences, and shit...

394 ...And it came to pass that the Obamessiah broke bread with his disciples. And he said "Behold, one of you shalt betray me." And the disciple Judd Iscariot said "Master, is it I?" And the Obamessiah answered him, saying "Thou hast spoken. Wherefore I um, will not um, permit you to carry out um, the census."

395 I'm glad this guy is backing out, but is he just a dumb ass or what? Did he actually think that he'd have a seat at the table in this cabinet? He was picked off to open up the seat with a RINO for the time being and Dhimmicrat later.

396

I get ful of glee when an Obama cabinet choice has to step down for tax reasons. This one really cracked me up becuase he chose to step down. 

I wish that Obama gets and manges to survive just 20% of the hate thrown at George W.Bush & Dick Cheney.  Obama's giant ego would not be able to take the hate, instead of love and unicorns, etc.

I have always supported Bush/Cheney, it's too bad that Dick Cheney had no ambition to be president, he would have won!   A real conservative with no fear of polls, would have been a win/win for the US.

Once Matthews, Olberman etc fall out of love with Obama, if it happens, Obama's ego will be broken. He's a one term president, I was too young to vote for Carter, and don't remember much but the gas lines my father had to sit through, wearing a sweater and he was a peanut farmer.  What more do we need to say?

397 I know. Reading Andrew you just wonder if lives inside a bubble now. He's gone completely mad over Obama.

398
This is not a surprise.  Gregg is old school.  A New Hampshire Republican who was a very good governor and understood that we are a bunch of cheap, self-reliant folks.  He made the right decision.

New Hampshire has turned purple because of the migration of Mass-holes, who came over the border to enjoy the benefits of  the "Live Cheap or Die" state (no sales tax and no state income tax) but then started whining about the lack of state services and elected the likes of Jean Shaheen the Tax Machine.

399 Did anyone notice that mean-ugly GLARE on the O's face when Gregg was making the announcement?
BWWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

I broke out the champagne tonight to celebrate, because....
After three weeks and two days of one unbelievable outrage after another, we FINALLY FINALLY FINALLY! get a piece of GOOD news!!!!

Honestly, I was starting to wonder if I would ever hear anything good out of Washington for the rest of my earthly life.

I'm sure the shit will start right back up again tomorrow---
but for ONE evening, one brief shining evening, we get a blessed reprieve from the tsunami. We have something to NOT groan and gnash our teeth over! There is HOPE after all!

400 Unless I am mistaken, Gregg stated in the CSPAN presser (linked above) that he notified the White House of his decision to withdraw a few days ago. There was also a mention that Barry asked him to stay on.

In other words, Barry has been sitting on this while covering his ears and screaming "La, la, la, la, la... I can't hear you" while Hoping that Gregg would Change his mind.

We need to build a monument to Gregg... immediately. Get this man in a Republican leadership role, stat. This man is a model for the rest of the spineless bastards to follow.
