Back to the bailout. Obama should put pressure on Bush/Paulson by immediately promising to make the bailout completely transparent and calling for the same from Bush/Paulson.
This would include a promise to disclose each and every company receiving bailout money and disclosing each and every asset the government has purchased with taxpayer dollars, what company it was purchased from, what price the government paid, the price the comnpany initially paid, the price the government gets for it when sold, who bought it from the government and the method used to determine the government's purchasing and selling price, all in real time.
John: You're in DC--what's the 411 on Halprin--I heard he's a very angry gay man. Is it true he is gay.
I just read over at Washington Monthly that the liberal Colmes is leaving Hannity's show....but will still be on Fox as one of it's liberal commentators....
Colmes a liberal ?!?!??!!!
I'll see if I can find an article. It's so Aryan...

And they want to ruin Thanksgiving football with this crap...
When he started listing his own TV appearances on his blogs "Political Appearances", right along with Bush, Obama, McCain, Biden and Palin, I knew he was buying his own hype.
How much are taxpayers shelling out for this crap? Over a trillion?
Sorry, but I just don't have time for "pundits," or whatever this guy is. See, my Party just won, and his Party is going to leave us an ungodly mess, so...
Anyway, "halperin," isn't that a pain-reliever? Is that what he is for McSame?
Fact is, McSame ran the worst damned campaign in recorded history. He chose Palin to try to snow the media, and her mouth blew up in his face. The American people started out in sympathy with the poor old POW. He personally alienated them, and worked hard at it, all by himself. He should get credit for that.
Obama, on the other hand, ran the best campaign anyone has ever seen. He started out with three strikes against him, and hit a grand slam, bringing in runs in the House and the Senate. He did this with no help at all from the media. Try as they might, and boy did they try, they just couldn't trash him personally or professionally. Obama started out as a young black big-city "liberal" unknown, and won most of us over, with absolutely no help from the press.
Remember Reverend Wright? The terrorist fist-bump? Salute-gate? That was the worst our tame corporate media could throw at him, repeated ad nauseum for months. And then there was the "can't win the white vote" nonsense, a constant drumbeat. The media were simply shocked senseless to see that nobody was listening to their racist corporatist propaganda this time. The economy was just too big an issue.
McCain shot himself in the foot on that one, no help needed. Still, the media never asked him the tough questions. They never portrayed him or his pastor as "too radical for America," although they were, as it turns out. There was no terrorist fist-bump about drug-thief "c*nt" Cindy McCain, although there should have been. And, curiously, no pundits ever said that McBush just couldn't get the not-white vote, which is what actually killed his candidacy.
So, like I said, who cares what the losers say about their failed efforts on the Repuke's behalf? They lost. We won. We've already moved on, and damned busy at it. Gotta go! Rotsa ruck, meme-vendors!
Hey, let's not give these blithering corporate idiots any more free publicity, hunh?
.
The Sarah Palin ploy received tons of coverage. The coverage wasn't positive because it was a political ploy and she is an idiot. That is no one's fault but McCain's. Puh-leeze.
The initial reporting on Palin was incredibly shallow and superficial -- Ooh, she's a woman! She's young and good-looking!
But once the media got beyond her superficial packaging and realized she was a ditz even dumber than Bush or Quayle, the advantage faded.
The Democrats had a knock out, drag out primary fight and all the dirt was thrown, picked through and eventually dismissed.
And the Republics are just beside themselves that the same dirt wasn't picked through all over again five months later in the general election.
It doesn't work that way, Wingnuts.
