Republican Judiciary Committee member Sen. Orrin Hatch (R-UT) was asked today on CNN if he agreed with Newt Gingrich that Obama Supreme Court nominee Sonia Sotomayor is a racist.

In a bit of outrageous distortion former vice president Dick Cheney said in an interview with Larry Kudlow that will air on CNBC tonight that the Obama administration is solely to blame for the government takeover of failing industries and corporations. I have three letters for Dick Cheney A-I-G.
Something interesting is happening in the Republican Party right now. When it comes to the Supreme Court nomination of Sonia Sotomayor, GOP senators aren’t following Rush Limbaugh.

Sean Hannity said on his radio show that you have to be a fool to oppose waterboarding, but yet Sean still hasn’t followed through with his promise to be waterboarded for charity, so the only fool I see here is Sean Hannity.

During his radio show Rush Limbaugh claimed that President Obama apologized to the terrorists today for the actions of the past 8 years.

During his speech at the American Enterprise Institute today, former vice president Dick Cheney continued to offer up his version of the Bush administration.

In a promo that is running on Fox News, the fair and balanced network uses Wal-Mart as proof for the argument why the US doesn’t need healthcare reform.

Democrats need to weigh their options before they support Arlen Specter.
