I guess Hopey is siding with the Argies because the Brit press is giving him a good hiding:

The $783 billion stimulus package of a year ago was used to further the re-election prospects of many congressmen, not to do good for the country. America's politics remain corrupt, populated by nonentities whose main concern once elected is to stay elected; it seems to be the same the whole world over. Even this self-interested use of the stimulus package appears to have failed, however. Every day, it seems, another Democrat congressman announces that he will not be fighting the mid-term elections scheduled for November 2.

But....but...what happened to all the CHAAAAAaaange? (Hint: Look in the couch cushions....)At least he can still depend on the Guardian's lickspittles, who still parrot Big Sis's right-wing/militia/redneck/terrorist line as they thunder by in their waaaahhmbulance. Not as much deference as the Clinton News Network, eh, Hopey?

The Times, however, has Jeremy Clarkson of Top Gear fame penning missives containing some hilarity:

Limited-edition Insanity sauce is ridiculous. It’s made in Costa Rica, from hot pepper extract, crushed red savina peppers, red tabasco pepper pulp, green tabasco pepper pulp, crushed red habanero peppers, crushed green habanero peppers, red habanero pepper powder and fruit juice.

Well, that’s what it says on the tin. But I don’t believe it. I think it’s made from uranium, plutonium, fertiliser, sulphuric acid, nitric acid, hydrochloric acid and ammonia, with a splash of mace. I do not believe it’s a foodstuff. It’s a weapon.

And I may have a point, since on the Scoville scale, which measures the intensity of chilli peppers, the habanero sits just below the “daisy cutter”, that American bomb designed to wipe out nations

RTWT. If, like me, you have more than a few hot sauces in circulation in your homestead, you will find the piece more than slightly amusing.... Tip o' chapeau to Russ for this one.

Dan Rather launched an anti-Republican screed featuring Hopey on Chris "Thrilla" Matthews' show, stating

And the Republicans will make a case and a lot of independents will buy this argument. "Listen he just hasn't been, look at the health care bill. It was his number one priority. It took him forever to get it through and he had to compromise it to death." And a version of, "Listen he's a nice person, he's very articulate" this is what's been used against him, "but he couldn't sell watermelons if it, you gave him the state troopers to flag down the traffic."

Imagine the faux outrage if that had been said by someone who is not a darling-of-the-LSM, instead of by one of the standard-bearers like Rather. I mean, Jeebus, Danny-boy, watermelons f''Christ's sake?? Bet neither Al Sharpton or Calypso Louie Farrakhan presses him for a "counseling session"....
