Markos was excellent on Press the Meet today. If you haven't seen it go to Crooks and Liars. One of my big frustrations over the past few years has been watching democratic spokespersons seem like incompetents on national news programs. I know they are often playing with a stacked deck against them, and unlike the republican shills they do at least try to tell the truth most of the time but please........why can't the dems have more eloquent and intelligible speakers?

I also have to post this quote from Digby. If you don't read his blog you're missing out on some really funny stuff. Anyway, the thought of President Newt must be too too much for the digster........

"This guy takes himself very seriously as a military historian and strategist. He also
likes dinosaurs. In other words, he's a twelve year old geek who wants to play with real
soldiers. Like many wingnut "intellectuals" he seems to have some serious
developmental problems."

What is it with has been politicians who think they can be president, must be the "tricky dicky" success story. If Nixon could make a comeback then maybe even Newt can. Of course the dem side has its share of "would like to be's," from Tom Daschle to Edwards and Clark. Don't get me wrong, I like these guys okay, but do they really have a chance?

Finally, another day goes by and the rethuglicans have refused to unconditionally condemn the "pscycho bitch from hell" Coulter. Not a surprise!
