Via CrooksandLiars.com, one more reason to support John Edwards… you gotta check out his passionate response to an older man that can’t afford to pay for health insurance.
Neither one of the other Democratic candidates matches Edwards’ passion and conviction on working class issues, and that’s why I’m supporting him.
Just one more illustration of the huge brass-ones that Jon Stewart swings: Jon interviews the war candidate, John McCain — via CrooksandLiars.com.
McCain got very angry that Stewart called them out for using the “you’re not supporting the troops,” theme and was trying to filibuster the segment… He tried to use the troops as a wedge. Stewart got hot and fought back… McCain started to stutter. (rough transcript)
Stewart: All I’m saying is you cannot look a soldier in the eye and say questioning the president is less supportive to you than extending your tour for three months when you should be coming home to your family.
McCain: Every American…
Stewart: And that’s not fair to put on people that criticize…
McCain: Jon…
Stewart: And you know I love you and respect your service and would never question any of that—this is not about questioning the troops and their ability to fight and their ability to be supported. And that is what the administration does and that is almost criminal.

Via Crooks and Liars, after the Democratic Party take over of Congress after the 2006 elections it looks like Bush’s White House may finally be held in check:
“What you have here is a White House that has become an accountability free zone that is now facing the reality of checks and balances from Congress. For six years President Bush got pretty much whatever he wanted from a Republican-controlled rubber stamp Congress that refused to exercise any oversight of the Executive branch of government. Well, mercifully, that party appears to be over.”
"Bless your heart." I love hearing the phrase… here’s how the Urban Dictionary defines it:
1. bless your heart 1: phrase used by Southern women to excuse themselves for speaking ill of someone else.
2: an expression of sympathy or pity.
3: a polite way to respond to an ignoramus, particularly male, who showers upon you flattering but unwanted compliments.
1: "She’s as ugly as a mud-fence, bless her heart."
2: "Well, bless your heart, that must have been terrible!"
3: drunk fella: "I think you’re beautiful! Even if you were ugly, I’d STILL think you were beautiful!"
recipient: "…bless your heart."
2. bless your heart A polite way to say "go to hell"
a: *gives the finger*
b: Bless your heart!
I specially love hearing the phrase when delivered to conservative blowhards. Here’s Rev. Dr. Jeremiah Wright delivering a much deserved "Bless your heart" to über-conservative Sean Hannity of Faux News:

Great catch by Crooks and Liars:
Look at this Yahoo headline of a Reuters story:
Bomb kills 15, Bush critic Pelosi visits Baghdad
"Bush critic"? That’s the best descriptive Yahoo can think of to give Pelosi?
Not "Speaker of the House" Pelosi? Not "Third in Line for the Presidency" Pelosi?
Not even "California Congresswoman" Pelosi?
But, yes, all you lurking Freepers, keep crying that the media is liberal.
Tell you what, when Yahoo News refers to Bush as "Constitution Ignorer" George W. Bush or "Human Rights Violator" George W. Bush, you might just have a point.
