We’re going into what, for Delaware Liberal, is traditionally one of the least-read weekends of the year.
Not gonna mail it in, though. I’ll continue to post out of my posterior for posterity’s sake.
Yep, He Was Shot In The Back. Looks like the video proves it. Mayor’s office continues to defend the impossible. Ya gonna believe a spokesperson for John Carney or your lyin’ eyes?
Good Council, Bad Council. Carney prevails against veto override. Oh, bleep–I still can’t cut-and-paste. Anyway, the override needed 9 yes votes, got only eight. Here are those who sided with Carney: Latisha Bracy, Zanthia Oliver, James Spadola, Nathan Field and Maria Cabrera.
Dispatches From Bizarro World:
Jeanine Pirro Goes After Olympic Canoeist. Countdown to dismissal begins now.
Kash Determined To Find WMD Evidence Of Voter Fraud In Georgia. Because 260 (!) ‘intelligence officers’ have nothing better to do.
The Fair Where Nobody Came. Stating the obvious–if the Arden Fair had attendance like this, the Arden Club couldn’t continue to operate.
Something Tells Me Mitch Ain’t Coming Back. Cardiac arrest. Been in the hospital since June 14. McConnell is on the short list of people who have done the most harm to America in the past 20 years. Doesn’t Kentucky have a Democratic governor? I wonder…
Wait, what, I can cut-and-paste again? Josh Marshall on toxic ‘comity’ in the US Senate:
The point isn’t that Hickenlooper is a bad guy and even the worst of the Democratic senators. I’m definitely not trying to demonize him or single him out. The issue is more that he’s part of the center of gravity of the Senate Democratic caucus which remains institutionalist, cautious and generally unwilling to rock the boat or respond aggressively to the moment. From what I can tell Hickenlooper was a really effective and good public servant through a couple decades before getting to the Senate. Voters agreed and elected him again and again, as mayor, governor and finally senator.
But not everyone is meant for the moment. As I told someone yesterday, I would be shocked if Hickenlooper became a Sinema/Manchin type figure standing against a caucus consensus in favor of reform. It’s more that if those kinds of comity-focused institutionalists are the caucus’s center of gravity, you’re just never going to get there. A few examples have to be made to shift the balance and signal what’s now required of congressional Democrats.
Don’t have to mention the name(s) of you-know-who. Turns out this was the only thing I could link to.
What do you want to talk about?
