Democrat Senator Russ Feingold is clinging by his fingernails to the land of rainbow shitting unicorns. The Hill Reports…

Sen. Russ Feingold (D-Wis.) decried what he said was a “systematic, conscious” effort by groups to “destroy” President Obama. Feingold, who’s facing a tough reelection effort this fall, blamed coordinated opposition to Obama and the Democratic agenda in Congress for some of the political and electoral woes facing his party this fall.

Puhhlleeeaaase…….

Obama has been breaking his arm patting himself on the back for success in Iraq lately, Biden too. But just so we’re clear, neither Joe Biden nor Barack Obama deserve a single ounce of credit for any success in Iraq. The timetable for withdrawal of troops from Iraq that Obama sees fit to call the fulfillment of one of his campaign promises, was designed by the one man Obama will never ever give credit. George W. Bush…

President Barack Obama told disabled veterans in Atlanta on Monday that he was fulfilling a campaign promise by ending U.S. combat operations in Iraq “on schedule.”

But the timetable for withdrawing U.S. troops in Iraq was decided during the Bush administration with the signing of the Status of Forces Agreement (SOFA) by U.S. and Iraq officials on Nov. 16, 2008. The Iraqi parliament signed SOFA on Nov. 27, 2008.

The agreement, which had been in negotiations since 2007, set a timetable calling for most U.S. troops to leave Iraqi towns and cities by June 30, 2009, with about 50,000 troops left in place until the final withdrawal of all U.S. military forces by Dec. 31, 2011.

Listen to Obama, who opposed the surge, touting his success…

Ken Mehlman, the campaign manager for George W. Bush in 2004 and former chair of the RNC has come out as gay. You know what? Good for him…

Ken Mehlman, President Bush’s campaign manager in 2004 and a former chairman of the Republican National Committee, has told family and associates that he is gay.

Mehlman arrived at this conclusion about his identity fairly recently, he said in an interview. He agreed to answer a reporter’s questions, he said, because, now in private life, he wants to become an advocate for gay marriage and anticipated that questions would arise about his participation in a late-September fundraiser for the American Foundation for Equal Rights (AFER), the group that supported the legal challenge to California’s ballot initiative against gay marriage, Proposition 8.

“It’s taken me 43 years to get comfortable with this part of my life,” said Mehlman, now an executive vice-president with the New York City-based private equity firm, KKR. “Everybody has their own path to travel, their own journey, and for me, over the past few months, I’ve told my family, friends, former colleagues, and current colleagues, and they’ve been wonderful and supportive. The process has been something that’s made me a happier and better person. It’s something I wish I had done years ago.”

Maybe he was listening to what Paul Ryan said about the future of the Republican party in April of 2009…

Ryan is promoting, not bending, conservative principles to expand the party.

“If you believe in freedom, liberty, self-determination, free enterprise, I don’t care if you’re a Muslim, Jewish, Agnostic, Christian, gay, straight, Latino, black, white, Irish, whatever. Join us.”

I’ve been saying since July of 2009 that the Republican Party was going more Libertarian and that it was a good thing. I stand by my prediction.

UPDATE: According to Allahpundit of Hot Air, this is old news. Who knew? Not me, apparently.

UPDATE: The Democrats’ anti-Bush Bush Bush video has been pulled. Pathetic. Scroll down for more.

As Andrew Malcolm of the LA Times recently pointed out, Democrats have been in control of congress since 2006 and in control of everything since Obama’s 2008 win.

Recent analysis shows George W. Bush is more popular than Obama in Democratic swing districts.

Even the liberal Huffington Post doesn’t seem entirely convinced that this is the best strategy.

The Democrats are out of ideas, out of touch and most importantly out of time.

Which is unfortunate because he was scheduled to make a recent appearance on MSNBC. The newly unmedicated Grayson said “Bush let 9/11 happen” and referred to the Ground Zero mosque as “a health club.”

I’m thinking someone might want to test the water in Grayson’s district for impurities. I can’t come up with any other explanation for how this man was ever elected to public office.

Attention political shoppers, there is a blue light special in aisle 911. We’re currently offering a once in a lifetime chance to see some of the biggest hypocrites in the liberal media kneel down and EAT SHIT.

There’s a new argument emerging among supporters of the Ground Zero mosque. Distressed by President Obama’s waffling on the issue, they’re calling on former President George W. Bush to announce his support for the project, because in this case Bush understands better than Obama the connection between the war on terror and the larger question of America’s relationship with Islam. It’s an extraordinary change of position for commentators who long argued that Bush had done grievous harm to America’s image in the Muslim world and that Obama represented a fresh start for the United States. Nevertheless, they are now seeing a different side of the former president.

Now how much would you pay?

“It’s time for W. to weigh in,” writes the New York Times’ Maureen Dowd. Bush, Dowd explains, understands that “you can’t have an effective war against the terrorists if it is a war on Islam.” Dowd finds it “odd” that Obama seems less sure on that matter. But to set things back on the right course, she says, “W. needs to get his bullhorn back out” — a reference to Bush’s famous “the people who knocked these buildings down will hear all of us soon!” speech at Ground Zero on September 14, 2001.

But WAIT, there’s more…

Washington Post columnist Eugene Robinson is also looking for an assist from Bush. “I…would love to hear from former President Bush on this issue,” Robinson wrote Tuesday in a Post chat session. “He held Ramadan iftar dinners in the White House as part of a much broader effort to show that our fight against the al-Qaeda murderers who attacked us on 9/11 was not a crusade against Islam. He was absolutely right on this point, and it would be helpful to hear his views.”

Call now and we’ll TRIPLE your order…

And Peter Beinart, a former editor of the New Republic, is also feeling some nostalgia for the former president. “Words I never thought I’d write: I pine for George W. Bush,” Beinart wrote Tuesday in The Daily Beast. “Whatever his flaws, the man respected religion, all religion.” Beinart longs for the days when Bush “used to say that the ‘war on terror’ was a struggle on behalf of Muslims, decent folks who wanted nothing more than to live free like you and me…”

Order today and we’ll include this bonus…

Bush himself has declined to comment on the mosque affair.

Good for him.

Maureen Dowd, Eugene Robinson and Peter Beinart can go FUCK themselves.

“After two years, Bush is a memory and he’s an excuse…”

Boy, the Obamas sure seem to like it when people from foreign countries say insulting things about Americans in the highest houses of our government. Last month it was President Calderon of Mexico and now Paul McCartney.

Yes, libraries. You know all about libraries, don’t you Paul? Wasn’t your entire library of songs bought out from under you by the likes of Michael Jackson?

Oh, but you’re a genius.

Charles Lane at the Washington Post makes a point that was lost not only on The Egg Man but also the members of the audience who squealed with delight at his Bush bashing…

There are many things of which Bush may be fairly accused. It would be boring to list them all. My point here, however, is that those who smugly deride his ostensible ignorance often inadvertently demonstrate their own.

And so it was with McCartney’s obnoxious crack, which was not only nasty, and totally inappropriate to the occasion, but also perfectly uninformed. Bush’s wife Laura is a librarian. She and her husband made a mini-cause of supporting literacy and public libraries, both when he was governor of Texas and when he was president.

The Bush administration oversaw creation of a federal grant program to train a new generation of librarians. It’s called the Laura Bush 21st Century Librarian Program, and it has awarded $130 million to date. During Bush’s presidency, federal funding for public libraries grew from $163.2 million per year to $212.2 million per year – a 30 percent increase.

In mocking the boorishness of a former U.S. president, Sir Paul, and those who roared at his remark, unfortunately demonstrated their own.

Paul McCartney should apologize or give back the damn award.

Joe Klein of Time Magazine has a new mantra: Remain calm. All is well!

Via News Busters:

On Sunday’s syndicated Chris Matthews Show, Time magazine columnist Joe Klein joined the ranks of left-leaning media figures like Chris Matthews and Keith Olbermann in blaming the BP oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico on the Bush administration.

JOE KLEIN, TIME MAGAZINE: This is more Bush’s second Katrina than Obama’s first.

CHRIS MATTHEWS: I agree, if you go to the management issue.

Tell me Joe, will it be Obama’s Katrina if the oil is still spewing forth almost six months later in August?

As BP readied its latest fallback plan to stop oil gushing from one of its wells in the Gulf of Mexico, the Obama administration and the company warned that the crude could continue flowing until August, compounding threats to coastal wetlands, fisheries and beaches.

One thing has become crystal clear since Obama took office. Some media types like Joe Klein will never hold him accountable, for anything. They will always try to find a way to rescue him from his own failure using the same tired pitiful excuses.

It’s pathetic.
