  1. CBS\u2019 Bob Schieffer Drops Harry Reid In Favor Of John McCain To Discuss Egypt<\/a> – “Clearly, we all need to hear more from the renowned Egyptologist John McCain.”<\/li>\n
  2. Brown: By Blocking Unemployment Aid Set To Expire, The GOP Says \u2018Too Damn Bad\u2019 To American Workers<\/a> – Stay classy, GOP (and Blue Dog Dem) jerks!<\/li>\n
  3. Former Bush-Cheney National Spokesman Thinks Muslims Are Incapable Of Democracy: \u2018This Is The Middle East\u2019<\/a> – It’s funny how the Right always talks so loudly about the exceptional blessings of American liberty, the extraordinary and world-changing nature of the democratic dream we brought forth here — but aren’t willing to believe that others can also benefit from it. “Democracy for me, but not for thee.”<\/li>\n
