Weekend Update
Hey, did you miss me?
- Vermont Senators Patrick Leahy and Bernie Sanders have both publicly called for Sen. Joe Lieberman to step down as the chairman of the Homeland Security. I’m all for it considering how Lieberman just spent the past year and a half running around the country telling everyone that only his BFF John McCain can keep us safe. Unfortunately, the rest of the Senate Democrats are doing what Senate Democrats usually do (i.e. being a bunch of pansies). Incidentally, this pansy-ness is the same reason why millions of schoolchildren think that it takes 60 votes for the Senate to pass a bill. (TPM Election Central)
- Did you know that Rahm Emanuel calls DC “Fucknutsville?” Or that he’s a ballerina? Or that he hates Arby’s? It’s true, as you can see from these witty t-shirts! (RahmFacts.com)
- OMG OMG OMG OMG HILLARY WILL BE SECRETARY OF STATE!!! Or at least that’s what the internets are saying. Personally, I don’t know why she would give up what is basically a Senate seat for life for a job that she can only have for a maximum of eight years. Also, when was the last time a Secretary of State was elected President (since we all know that’s what Hillary’s really after)? (Huffington Post)
- The President’s Weekly Radio Address is going 21st century! From now on, the President of the United States will address the nation each week on YouTube. Barack Obama is aware of all internet traditions. (Change.gov)
- Mark Begich now leads Ted Stevens by over 1,000 votes, but holy crap do Alaskans not know how to count or something? The election was last fricking week and not only are we still waiting for all the votes to be counted but this race could go into an automatic recount! Hopefully we’ll know who the next Senator from Alaska is by 2010. (State of Alaska)
- The only thing that stopped Vladimir Putin from marching all the way to Tbilisi and hanging Georgian President Saakashvili ”by the balls” was that he didn’t want to seem like George W. Bush. Heckuva job, Georgie! (The Times)
