The Party of "No"
Technorati and Me
Technorati is indexing me again! They had to make a code change to fix the problem with my blog getting stuck in their queue. Kudos to Eric M. and the guys at GetSatisfaction.com where they have "community powered support for Technorati".
Well, they're "sorta, kinda" indexing me anyway. It's on a 24 hour tape delay or something. So I never get picked up by Memeorandum because they pull from Technorati and Technorati has stuff I posted yesterday listed as my latest blog entry. And that's old news to Memeorandum.
Wankers.

Tone deaf GOP leadership picks VA Gov. Bob McDonnell for SOTU response
Remember that email I trumpeted saying newly elected Massachusetts Senator Scott Brown would deliver the GOP response to Barry's SOTU speech?
No such luck.
The GOP leadership brain trust has selected Virginia Governor Bob McDonnell for that honor.
"Gov. McDonnell understands that the American people are more interested in shrinking unemployment than expanding government. He is an impressive public servant and an excellent choice to offer Republican solutions for our country," House GOP Leader John Boehner (Ohio) and Senate GOP Leader Mitch McConnell (Ky.) said in a joint statement.
The go-along-to-get-along GOP leadership is playing it safe when they should come out swinging at the Democrats by shoving Scott Brown in Barry's face. (Wouldn't it be great for him to drive up to the camera in his pickup truck, hop out, and launch into his speech?)
Perhaps Gov. McDonnell will deliver a fine speech. But so what? The SOTU response doesn't get anywhere near the same public recognition as what the president says. But having Scott Brown deliver it makes him the story; what he says would be secondary to the mere fact that he is saying it.
The GOP should strike while the iron is hot. Scott Brown is hot. He'll still
be hot next week. The Republicans blew a perfect opportunity to upstage The
TelePrompTer Kid.
