A commentor on WhackyNation poses a question: Who is the GOP going to run against Patty Murray in 2010? Excellent question. I can think of three names who have good statewide name recognition who might be willing: Rossi, McKenna and Sutherland. Any ideas?

This new legislation is so disgusting that I'm surprised Bush didn't try to get this passed at the beginning of his second term. It's no shock that the right-wing freaks always target women with their extreme anti-choice agenda. Now they are trying to set back the medical world 200 years . A last-minute Bush administration plan to grant sweeping new protections to health care providers who oppose...

I'm in the camp that wanted to see Joe Lieberman thrown off of the Homeland Security Committee. I pretty much knew he wouldn't be, because Harry Reid is a sissy milquetoast homunculus, but the thought that Lieberman could say the things he did and get off free as a bird is pathetic.
