I want Obama to come out and talk about how Cutler shit the bed on Sunday.

 

Giffords' intern -- the one credited with helping to save her life -- will be attending.

I know he was described as a college intern, but I assumed he was someone who had returned to college. I was shocked to see that today is his 21st birthday. The guy looks at least 30 to me.

 

Guessing he might not use those exact words.

In other news, disappointed to learn Pelosi turned down Cantor's invitation, she already had a date:

If politics is Hollywood for ugly people, then there are going to be a lot of folks tonight having bad flashbacks to high school -- dateless on Prom Night.

But, we must continually forge forward to a new day of prosperity; we must continually strive to right our economic direction; we cannot and will not pull a Cutler'....

 

"Unlike the quarterback of my favorite team, we've got to play hurt, smile through the pain, and most importantly, take the elevator when we go out to dinner with our TV star girlfriend after the game."

 

As I've said, the Tea Party should have the courage of its convictions and break off from the GOP. Otherwise, its nothing more than just another sub-caucus

 

Yeah, the democrats would just love that, wouldn't they?

 

The Democrats love the Tea Party already. It is fracturing the Republicans and virtuallly assuring Obama's reelection
