      If Krauthammer ever described the Republicans abuse of the filibuster as "outside the spirit" of Senate rules, I missed it.

      You know it really doesn't matter what's fact and fiction... by the end of the week all they'll be talking about is the fiction. And by they, I mean the MSM.

      The MSM today is overflowing with lazy folks content to parrot talking points and never challenge outright lies and fabrications. They're happy to fill time and space with the sniveling Liz Cheney because it's easy. They'll look the other way when a politician says the sky is purple because they don't want to offend.

      None of these lies, these lunatic fictions would ever gain traction if we had real journalists instead of the pretty stenographers we've been saddled with.

      OF COURSE it "can be done." The REPUBLICANS did it COUNTLESS times!

      I'm really getting tick and sired of this IOKYAR crap.

      The republicans and so-called conservatives are taking advantage of President Obama's go to school message.All of them going to bus driver school so they can run over each other.

      Eh, good for Krauthammer on this one. He's gone off the deep end recently, but it's nice to know that there's a bit of honesty and reason left within him. He used to be a solid conservative commentator.

        Obama will be on Baier's show tomorrow, talking about health care. Maybe they're on their best behavior until after the interview.
