Lightweights — No Debate!
By Madeleine Begun Kane
Republicans held a debate
To see which prez contender would rate.
Not a one was impressive,
And all are regressive—
Mad lightweights galore! What a slate!

If there’s one common theme about last night’s Republican Presidential debate it’s this: Tim Pawlenty blew it by blowing off an op (handed to him by CNN’s John King) to reprise his “Obamneycare” anti-Romney attack:
Tim Pawlenty,
a debater failed.
Asked about “Obamneycare,”
he simply bailed.

A good way to gauge a Republican pol’s classiness quotient is his or her response to Osama bin Laden’s killing:
Do they congratulate everyone who deserves credit, including President Obama?
Do they act as if Barack Obama was merely carrying out Bush’s bidding?
Do they pretend Obama doesn’t even exist?
Needless to say, Sarah Palin has failed the classiness test.
Who’s Our President, Again?

Some Republican comments show class
And give credit where due without sass:
Mitt Romney and Dub
And Pawlenty don’t snub
Prez Obama. But Palin’s an ass.

Revisionist History On Auto Pilot
Wednesday, May 25th, 2011Remember when Republicans opposed the automobile industry bailout, slamming Obama for his “government takeover?”
Now that Obama’s auto industry rescue plan is a raging success, Republicans have acknowledged their error and congratulated Obama on a job well done, right?
Hahahahaha!
So can we trust the media to make sure Republicans like Romney, Corker, Pawlenty, Kasich, and their ilk don’t scam people into thinking the bailout was their idea?
You’re kidding, right?
Revisionist History On Auto Pilot

So what did Republicans say
To auto co bailouts? No way!
But the past they would edit
And try to take credit:
It worked, so that plan was “their” play.
