Teabags now determined to O’Donnellize Mitch McConnell

This stuff from Red State is too good.
Among the many insightful things Ted Cruz said during his historic filibuster through the night was that there is no honesty in the Republican Party.

American International Group's chief executive said in an interview published Monday that the insurance company, which was aided by an extensive taxpayer bailout in the aftermath of the 2008 recession, was wrongly targeted for awarding its employees bonuses after the crisis -- comparing the outrage in Washington to lynchings that occurred in the Deep South a half a century ago.
