"John said, 'Perhaps not the great love story that we hoped, but maybe a great love story nonetheless.' [It's] 'till death do you part -- because that's what I want," she said.Perhaps because that "death do you part" isn't as far away for him... After all the news he's made, it's 'poor Elizabeth' all the way.
In a letter sent to NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell, Sharpton wrote that he was “disturbed” to hear about Limbaugh’s interest in the Rams and asked for a meeting with Goodell “to discuss the myriad of reasons as to why [Limbaugh] should not be given an opportunity to do so.”Clearly, this is a political issue in Sharpton's mind.
Sharpton argued that Limbaugh has been “anti-NFL” in his comments about several of the league’s players, specifically naming Philadelphia Eagles quarterbacks Donovan McNabb and Michael Vick.
In addition, Sharpton wrote that Limbaugh’s “recent statement that the NFL was beginning to look like a fight between the Crips and the Bloods without the weapons, was disturbing.”
GOP gubernatorial candidate Scott Walker's campaign suspects political sabotage for causing the suspension of his Twitter account yesterday.The Dems are pathetic. Even more pathetic is that this is on Wispolitics and somehow, "newsworthy."
Walker spokesman Keith Gilkes said the suspension followed hundreds of users over the course of several days signing up to follow, then "unfollowing" the Milwaukee County Executive's Twitter feed. The users then reported to the company that Walker's account was sending out spam.
Gilkes said the effort "points to a massive coordinated effort to get Scott Walker suspended."
"It's cyber warfare of the political kind," Gilkes said. "It's unfortunate, but it's the kind of tactics you can expect from our opponents."
Gilkes said the campaign is working with Twitter to identify "who some of the culprits are," though he declined to identify who he believed they are. He hopes to have the account restored today.
David Obey rolled out the red carpet for terror suspects today when he cast a vote against a measure requesting that his party leaders include language prohibiting the transfer of Guantanamo Bay prisoners to the United States from the 2010 Homeland Security Appropriations bill. With his stunning ‘no’ vote, Obey not only voted to open the door to possible terrorists, but he also refused to request that all Guantanamo Bay detainees be added to Homeland Security’s “No Fly List” and shunned the idea of transparency by refusing to request that the bill be available to the public for 72 hours before receiving an up or down vote. (House Roll Call 746)As if Obey's surly demeaner wasn't enough to turn voters away, his voting record just keeps getting more absurd!
Not long ago, a senior member of Obey's own party objected to Democrat proposals to transfer Guantanamo prisoners to the United States. That didn’t stop Obey from turning his back on Wisconsin families who want to keep terror suspects out of their back yard.
“A senior Democrat in the U.S. House of Representatives on Monday warned against sending detainees from Guantanamo Bay to Fort Leavenworth prison in Kansas, saying it could endanger U.S. relations with Muslim countries.
“It was also another thorn in President Barack Obama’s effort to quickly close the controversial U.S. prison in Cuba."
“Skelton is the first senior Democrat to raise issues with moving the Guantanamo detainees to Kansas, but follows a news conference last week in which Kansas Republican Senator Sam Brownback and Republican Representative Jerry Moran blasted suggestions of moving the detainees there.” (Jeremy Pelofsky, “Democrat opposes sending Guantanamo detainees to Leavenworth,” Reuters, 8/10/09)
Congressman Alan Grayson (D-FL) has no Republican challenger to date, though a number of serious Republicans are thinking of getting in and at least a couple are on the verge of doing so.It's his signature line now?!
The district leans Republican and after Grayson’s latest antics Charlie Cook has moved the race to a tossup without there even being a Republican challenger yet.
It is also worth noting that Grayson is trying to use his holocaust comment, etc. to raise money.
Grayson made a presentation on the House floor Tuesday night in which he said, “if you get sick, America, the Republican healthcare plan is this: Die quickly.” He even had a sign printed reading, “The Republican Healthcare Plan: Die Quickly.”Not the best choice of words?
After Republicans demanded an apology, Rep. Grayson went to the floor to mock the demand, and called the deaths of Americans because they don't have insurance a "holocaust."
“I apologize to the dead and their families that we haven’t voted sooner to end this holocaust in America,” Grayson said.
Later, in a television interview, he called Republicans " foot-dragging, knuckle dragging neanderthals who know nothing but 'no.'"
The only statement he has backed off from is the comparison to a "holocaust," telling MSNBC's Rachel Maddow, "It may not have been the best choice of words."
