GOP Earns Worst-Ever Rating in Fox Poll
Mydd’s Johnathan Singer reports… I’m shocked — shocked — that this finding doesn’t make it into the Fox News write up of its own polling, but the latest survey commissioned by the conservative news outlet finds that the Republican Party is at an all-time low in terms of popularity. Per the poll (.pdf), the GOP’s favorability rating […]
UPDATED: Of Cops and Recovery Funds
Yesterday, VP Joe Biden traveled to Philly to announce the awardees of grants from the Recovery bill designed to bolster funding for law enforcement in states, counties and cities. These funds, as I understand it, are meant to be a backstop for governments facing cuts in law enforcement due to budget shortfalls. Delaware was awarded $5M in these grants yesterday.

Why did NBC Give Michelle Malkin 10 minutes to promote her book this morning? or What Does CRI stand for? Jason already has taken “Copeland’s Republican Insiders”
UPDATED: The GOP’s New Talking Point: They Shoot Old People, Don’t They
Talk about scare tactics and preying on the elderly. Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-TX): We’ve been battling this socialist health care, the nationalization of health care, that is going to absolutely kill senior citizens.

Jon Stewart Destroys Bill Kristol On Healthcare
Jon Stewart gets Bill Kristol to admit the the VA system is an exceptional healthcare system but that the rest of Americans don’t deserve it. Kristol gets caught up in the typical GOP talking point trap of “government run healthcare is really awful but it’s so good that private insurance can’t compete.” Republicans are just incoherent on this issue. At least he wasn’t repeating the Faux News talking point that Barack Obama wants to kill your grandmother.
