• Democrat Speaker Nancy Pelosi Paying $18K a Month for New San Francisco Office
  Last fall, Speaker Nancy Pelosi moved her district office into the new federal building in San Francisco. The move quadrupled the rent she pays, and her new $18,736 monthly bill is almost double the next-highest rental paid by a Member of the House.

  A database assembled by the Sunlight Foundation in cooperation with Roll Call provides new insight into Congressional spending on district office rents. Not surprisingly, Members from large urban districts with the highest property values are paying the most for district office rental, particularly New York–area Members.

  But even in these high-rent districts, Pelosi’s new digs blow away the competition.

  The next highest monthly office rent belongs to Rep. Jerrold Nadler (D), who occupies an office in a federal building in Manhattan’s trendy SoHo neighborhood for just under $10,600.

  Thanks for cutting back Nancy. This is total BS.

• Shocker: Obama White House Takes Cues from Liberal Think Tank on BP Spill
  If you want to see where President Barack Obama’s response to the Deepwater Horizon disaster is heading, try following the urgings of the Center for American Progress.

  The liberal think tank with close White House ties appears to have more influence on spill policy than the president’s in-house advisers. On May 4, for instance, the CAP’s energy and environment expert, Daniel Weiss, called on the president to name an independent commission to look at the causes of the Deepwater Horizon disaster. On May 22, he did just that.

  Well, It is not shocking and Obama and Axelrod do not have the ability to lead – ONLY follow the LEFT

• Sarah Palin responds to 'Boobgate': Didn't have breast-enlargement surgery
  Consider "Boobgate" officially closed.

  Sarah Palin broke her silence over recent Internet rumors that the former former GOP vice presidential candidate had breast-enlargement surgery in an interview with Fox News Friday.

  For the record, Palin says she's 100% natural.

  "Nooo, I have not had implants," said Palin. "I think a report like that is about as real and truthful that Todd and I are divorcing or that I bought a place in the Hamptons or that Trig is not my own child.

  "And we still put up with that garbage, too."

  Speculation was rampant after photos of the former Alaskan governor at the Belmont Stakes showed her looking a little more buxom than usual.

  "'Boobgate' is all over the Internet, because there are a lot of bored, idle bloggers and reporters with nothing else to talk about," Palin said in the interview.

  Slow news day and a pretty woman……

• Fore! Obama Tells Politico the BP Oil Spill is Like 9-11 Then Goes Golfing for 4 Hours
  Barack Obama told The Politico this morning that the Gulf oil spill was like 9-11.

  Then he went golfing for 4 hours.

  The Hill reported:

  President Barack Obama spent four hours on the golf course Sunday in temperatures that peaked in the low 90s.

  The White House pool reported that they left Andrews Air Force Base as it started to rain after 4 p.m.

  Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood was among the group golfing with Obama.

  Leadership.

  Remember when Michael Moore escoriated George W Bush for golfing and the Iraq War.

  Well………

This MORON can kiss his political ass good bye. In fact, Rep. Bob Etheridge should be charged with assault and battery and thrown in jail.

The conversation:

Student: “Hi Congressman.”
Etheridge: “Hi.”
Student: “How are you?”
Student: “Do you fully support the Obama agenda?”
Etheridge: “Who are you?, Who are you?” (Etheridge goes beserk and proceeds to assault the student. He then grabs the student and won’t let go.)
Etheridge: “Who are you?, Who are you?” “Tell me who you are.”
Student: “Just here for a project sir.”
Etheridge: “Tell me who you are.”
Student: We’re just here for a project.”
Etheridge: “I don’t care.” (still holding the wrist of the student)
Student: “Will you please let go of my hand.”
Etheridge: “Tell me who you are.”
Student: “I’m just a student sir.”
Etheridge: “From?”
Student: “We’re just students”
Etheridge: “I have a right to know who you are.”
Student: “All we are are students.”
Student: “We’re in a public place.”
Etheridge: “So am I. Who are you? Who are you?”
Student: “Please let go of my arm.”
Etheridge: “Who are you?” (then grabs the back of the students neck and pulls him close to him.)
Student: “Sir, sir, sir, please sir.”
Etheridge: “Who are you?” (Student breaks free).

It makes NO difference who the students were or who sent them. This is unacceptable behavior and a crime.

Who cares about an apology?
