President Obama’s balancing act
Despite receiving a thumbs up from a number of conservative foreign policy observers, and the public at large, for his handling of the current Iranian domestic turmoil, the wingers seem to have settled on a narrative that President Obama has been too timid in his response to same.

by Propagandee May 4, 2009

Or so the Rethugs would have you believe.
Obama hasn’t even compiled a list of nominees to replace retiring Supreme Court Justice Souter yet, let alone chosen someone to replace him.

UPDATE: Here’s what Orrin Hatch had to say on This Week:

Republican Dog Food, Par Deux

by Propagandee June 28, 2008

Spontaneous Republican Combustion
Five weeks ago I wrote what’s beginning to look like the first installment in a continuing series on the Rethuglican Party’s self-immolation. It began thusly:
