Posted at 11:11pm on Jan. 30, 2008 Major McCain endorsement in CA tomorrow (or, "Debate Open Thread #2")

By Jeff Emanuel

The word on the street is that it will be the man who recently called the L.A. Times to apologize for being a Republican, Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger.

That ranks up with the NYT endorsement, and if it's accepted wholeheartedly and touted in CA or nationwide, then I'm seriously going to just give up on this cycle and hibernate until 2012.

Oh, by the way, this is the Debate Open Thread #2. Take it away.

they're checking them at the door of Nancy's house...apparently

Or so you would assume, if Vice President Dick Cheney is to be believed. And, given that he watches these formerly-known-as-men-turned-metrosexuals in ACTION on a daily basis, I'm hard pressed to see where I could disagree with his assertions that:

Murtha "and the other senior leaders...march to the tune of Nancy Pelosi to an extent I had not seen, frankly, with any previous speaker," Cheney said. "I’m trying to think how to say all of this in a gentlemanly fashion, but [in] the Congress I served in, that wouldn’t have happened."
[...]
"They’ve produced absolutely nothing that I can see that’s of benefit or consistent with the promises that they made when they went out and ran for election."
[...]
"I don’t think they’re doing all that well. That probably wouldn’t surprise anybody. I just think — I think if you look at the track record on what they’ve been able to move, on important items that are sort of basic, need-to-do-every-year kinds of things, like the appropriations process, I think the record is pretty dismal."
[...]
"The refusal to move the war supplemental to support the troops until after the first of the year is a mistake. I say that in part as a former secretary of defense.

It’s a terrible way to run a railroad. I’m, frankly, surprised at why, after all of the efforts they’ve made to try to hook up various provisions on Iraq to the spending bill, they’ve been unsuccessful.

I’m puzzled why they are so wedded to their political view that Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid [the Senate majority leader] aren’t going to move that legislation — said ‘absolutely not, there won’t be another vote on this matter in this Congress.

As Politico highlights, Cheney - when asked if 'these men had lost their spines' - said this:

They are not carrying the big sticks I would have expected.

I'll leave that hang where it may...

God am I gonna miss that man.
