- The RNC wants to take away any of Michael Steele’s responsibilities that have to do with money, or the distribution thereof. All this because he is incompetent! [AMERICAblog]
- Byron “-ic Hero” York would like to point out that Obama isn’t that much of a popular President because a lot of people who like him are black. In fact, he goes on, Obama himself is black, which disqualifies him from being President anyway, so this whole thing is quite misleading hmmm? [Matt Yglesias]
- Gay marriage is on its way in New Hampshire, where the State Senate just signed a bill in favor of its legalizaiton. [Daily Intel]
- Joe Biden has basically admitted that since like the 70s, his frequent Amtrak miles were aggregated in furtive attempts to woo Arlen Specter to the Democratic Party. [Top of the Ticket]

I’m glad to see gay marriages are the coming thing. Durn it all, marriages ought to be happy, just like they were back in those Biblical days. Look at all the people who got married to Solomon and David and Jesus and who-all — they were perfectly happy, and lived that way ever after. Also.
Obama is only 3/5 a President. The other 2/5 is his TeLePrOmPtEr.
If Michael Steele was merely incompetent (like the previous RNC Chair), that would be one thing. But to be incompetent and a NEGRO?!?
Jesus – what was he thinking??
I thought people liked Hopey because he plays basketball and eats fried chicken. How the hell did he escape from the plantation anyway???
Just wait’ll you hear what’s on the Whitey Tape. You’ll be shocked. My friend who heard it sure was.
If you are going to make the argument that one’s political approval ratings can be affected by the overwhelming approval of a certain subset of the population, what would that then say about those who approve of the Republicans?
I didn’t know they actually had articles in the Washington Examiner. I just get it for the Soduko puzzles to do on Metro while heading home in the evenings. I do the puzzles in the Express on the way in to work in the mornings.
Isn’t that what everyone picks up the Examiner for?
Oh the Byrony
It is hard to believe I live in the same country as Iowa, New Hampshire, and other gay marriage states. The idea that the state legislature here in Texas would have a bill moving through it legalizing gay marriage is a fantasy along the lines of Rick Perry announcing he’s coming out & doing so while riding a milk-white steed, dressed in an adult My Little Pony costume. And it really makes me hate my know-nothing Senators for some reason, Sen. Cornholio & Sen. Kay Bailey Do Nothing. They were the duo of No before their party was the party of No. I’m not aware of a single piece of legislation with either of their names on it. They are completely useless, like my dreams of gay marriage in Texas.
“his sky-high ratings among African-Americans make some of his positions appear a bit more popular overall than they actually are.”
Yes; if you ignore some of the people among whom Obama is very popular, then he would no be as popular. It’s sort of like how Sarah Palin’s 0% approval rating among non-moron-Americans made her appear much less popular than she actually was.
The female booty in the levi’s add is wooing me as well.
Chrysler is gonna file tomorrrow, reports Bloomberg. Oh shitskies.
York’s claim of being taken out of context in 5-4-3-2-1….
Genius line from the story about Biden and Specter jawing on Amtak: “This is not the first time Biden has played a critical role in influencing events on Capitol Hill.”
Barack Hussein Obama is black? I thought he was a sand nigger?
[re=303539]Prommie[/re]: It’s OK; all the major players are lined up; BK is just to anally crucify the hedge funds that are holding this up.
God’s speed New Hampshire, god’s speed.
[re=303554]Bruno[/re]: Michael Steele is black? I thought he was in the GOP?
Biden/Palin 2012!!!11!
Michael Steele: Never before in the history of American politics has one man been shit on so much by so many.
Obama’s black? I thought he was the President.
This is all part of Michael Steele’s super-secret master plan. He knows they can take all the Dollars they want because only Ameros will matter in a matter of months.
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Poll: Bush Getting Even More Unpopular Out of Office

Byron York is spewing some fucked up white people’s logic there.
In California it’s just been officially rumored there is to be an honoary Miss California Holy Resolution opposing marriage between opposites.
Stay tuned.
Today on BBC’s World Service a BBC reporter was traveling through the south to ask about Obama’s first 100 days. He mentioned that Oklahoma was one of the states that voted least for Obama and he went to a womens’ Christian group. The first lady interviewed said she didn’t think Obama was a Christian and didn’t think he was really an American. Another thought he was a ‘Manchurian Candidate’ set up to take down the country. Another said that now everywhere you look there’s blacks, blacks are getting all the jobs, blacks caused her business to fail (no explanation though).
If Texas secedes it must take Oklahoma with it. And probably Mississippi as well.
[re=303564]gurukalehuru[/re]: Wahhhhh! Waaahhhh!!! David Vitter haz a sad becuz of that.
[re=303603]chascates[/re]: Oh RIGHT. Oklahoma has, what, 2 blacks in the whole state?
[re=303637]queeraselvis v 2.0[/re]: Maybe she was talking about blacks on the teevee.
The only way the Tennessee Senate would ever sign a bill legalizing gay marr–oh, who am I kidding? The Tennessee Senate will never sign a bill legalizing gay marriage. There’s too much other important stuff to do, like making information on gun-permit holders confidential and exempt from the state’s open-records law.
[re=303637]queeraselvis v 2.0[/re]: 3. The Gap Band is from Tulsa.
[re=303512]The Helvetica Scenario[/re]: Your name deeply disturbs me. Unless it’s Neue Helvetica, that I can get behind.
I think we all should get together and just make Byron York retroactively African American, at which point he’d have to shut up because his opinion would no longer count.
Byron York? That can’t be his real name. Would have made a good porn star name… in the 18th Century.
I actually read the whole article, thinking eventually he would come up with some lame explanation of his entire premise that African-Americans’ opinions don’t really count. Nope. Nothing. I guess in his world, that’s taken for granted. Stunning that something so racist could get past an editor, even at a rag like the Examiner.
If you discount the opinions of people who don’t believe in evolution (aka idiots), Duhbya’s popularity would be, what, zero?
[re=303761]qaf[/re]: Look it up on the Youtubes for further nightmare fuel.
chascates: do you have a link to that BBC thing on Oklahoma? sounds hysterical.
Byron York has a new methodology to correct for the error between reality and polls – he is going to push for the reinstitution of lynching. That will clean the skew in those number right up.
I have no idea who this York guy is (it’s not because I’m uninformed, it’s because I’m Canadian…), but based on those comments I find it hard to believe that he’s taken seriously enough to be given byline space anywhere – even some obscure corner of the interweb like the Washington Examiner (what is it, some free DC weekly tabloid?).
He’s clearly either:
a) Racist, as in, them negras only like that Hussein fella a ’cause of he’s black, and their opinions don’t matter none anyhow; or
b) Stupid, as in, that broadly similar group of voters who consistently support Democratic politicians and Democratic-aligned policy positions support the current Democratic President and his policy positions, so they shouldn’t be counted. You can only gauge the popularity of political positions if you don’t include the opinions of people who are inclined to support those positions.
