Has the White House Gone Tone Deaf?

By Alex Wagner - Politics Daily

On Tuesday, White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs wondered aloud (and in print) whether members of the "professional left" -- critical of the Obama administration for not having done enough to advance their agenda -- might perhaps be dipping into a stash of ganja, or happy pills, or both. "I mean, it's crazy," Gibbs said. "Those people ought to be drug tested." Those kooky outraged liberal naysayers, according to Gibbs, would only be satisfied with Dennis Kucinich installed as commander in chief and Canadian-style (shhh, that's code for "socialist") health care. Personal *relaxation* ...

Florida Doc Tells Obama Voters to Go Away

By Katie Drummond - AOL News

(April 2) -- A doctor in Mount Dora, Fla., has posted a sign on his clinic door that instructs patients who "voted for Obama" to go elsewhere for their medical care.

The freshman lawmaker who's quickly gained a reputation for inflammatory statements called Linda Robertson, an adviser to Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke, a "K Street whore." (Washington's K Street is where many lobbying firms are located, and Robertson used to represent Enron.)

Nancy Pelosi: No Apology Needed For Grayson's 'Die Quickly' Floor Speech

By Patricia Murphy - Politics Daily

There is a tradition in Congress of referring to members as "gentlemen" and "gentle ladies." But recent bipartisan offenses on the floor of the House of Representatives have put members in anything but a polite mood with each other. The most recent example comes from the gentleman from Florida Democrat Alan Grayson who excoriated Republicans for what he said was their refusal to work toward a solution on health care reform. Grayson spoke from the well of the chamber Tuesday and presented three posters that he said detailed the Republican Health Care Plan. They read: 1. Don't get sick. 2. If ...
