At her next on-air rectal exam

Posted by: Hammer / 9:35 AM

During Katie Couric's next televised rectal examination, perhaps her physician could attempt to dislodge her head from her ass. Via Media Matters:
COURIC: Let me ask you one political question, if I could, President Clinton. As you know, Howard Dean is now head of the DNC [Democratic National Committee]. Right now it seems the most effective thing that Democrats are doing on Capitol Hill is blocking various nominations, at least from their perspective. Like, you know, John Bolton, or -- U.S. ambassador to the U.N. -- or head of the EPA [Environmental Protection Agency], or the head of the FDA [Food and Drug Administration]. How can the Democratic Party retool itself so they're not simply seen as obstructionist in terms of the president's agenda?

CLINTON: Well, first of all, I don't think that's fair. I don't think Mr. [John] Negroponte [nominee for national intelligence director] will be blocked. I'm not sure Mr. Bolton will be blocked. There are policy reasons on the environment and food safety for debates on the others. And on judges, that's just a hoax. I mean, the Democrats blocked 10 out of over 200 judges. The Republicans wouldn't even give a vote to 40 of my Court of Appeals judges -- four times as many, just on the Court of Appeals, never mind all the others that they wouldn't have voted. So, this image that, I'm sad to say, you know, you just perpetrated it, it's ridiculous. The Democratic Senate has been nowhere near as obstructionist to President Bush on judges as the Republican Senate was to me. Not even close.

I don't have any real problem with Katie Couric. I have a problem with the entire morning news program genre, but that's not Couric's fault. Anyone who Ann Coulter compares to Eva Braun can't be all bad. But if you want to ask a political question, at least be paying enough attention to know the facts on the ground.

Are any of the Senate Dems pointing out the behavior of Republicans when dealing with Clinton's judicial nominations? I don't pay attention as I should, but I have not seen anyone, other than Clinton, bring up the judicial nomination standstill during his tenure. We just get the Republican talking points, and discussion of the nuclear (it's pronounced nucular) option.

AAAARRRGGGHHHH! This latest hypocrisy has pushed me over the edge. I am currently flinging my feces at the walls and giggling like a madman. Someone call child services.

The Senate Dems have been getting killed on this issue for four years. Maybe Harry Reid will change that now that Social Security privatization seems to be dead.
