The Tuesday ‘BushWhack’ing

Lieberman must go, but I’m not holding my breath for THAT to happen…

• Pundits say former President Bill Clinton could be the largest obstacle in Sen. Hillary Clinton nailing down Secretary of State in the Obama Administration as his post-White House business and financial dealings are causing some backroom mumblings. (If we were to look at every former president’s post-presidential dealings, I’m sure we’d find a lot of questionable stuff. His dealings should not interfere with her career – though I know they will. Stay tuned…)


• Henry Paulson and Ben Bernanke are on Capitol Hill today... where I suspect they will be raked over the coals about Bailout2008…


• The Senate races in Alaska and Minnesota could be determined any day now…


• President-elect Obama... nothing to really report right now, I just REALLY enjoy typing President-elect Obama... try it, you'll like it.


• Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice will meet today with Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi’s son to discuss deepening ties between Washington and Libya… wait, what?


• Over 100 retired generals and admirals called Monday for the “repeal of the military’s ‘don’t ask, don’t tell’ policy on gays so they can serve openly.”


• File this under the ‘karma, baby!’ file. The Colorado Independent is reporting today that James D*b*o*’ Focus on the Family will likely be announcing major layoffs this week… did I mention that the layoffs follow the groups spending of more than $600,000 to defeat marriage equality in California? While I would never rejoice over anyone losing their job, you think they could have found better uses for their money than defeating a bill that, being based in Colorado, had little impact on them. I’m just sayin’…


• And have we mentioned? That former Arkansas governor and republican presidential candidate Mike Huckabee is releasing a book? The book, “Do the Right Thing: Inside the Movement That’s Bringing Common Sense Back to America,” is being released today and is chock-full of sharp criticism of his fellow republicans, especially those that marred his presidential bid. (oooo, juicy…)
