Conflict Of Talking Points
by Buck

I (by accident!) caught the tail end of Rush’s radio program yesterday. Rush spoke of the Minneapolis bridge collapse tragedy. In it he said, basically, that America’s infrastructure woes are all made up. I couldn’t find that quote anywhere on the ‘net, but did find this:

This is one of these classic events that is custom-made for the Drive-By Media. “The country is falling apart. Bush spending too much in Iraq. Not paying enough attention to what’s happening at home.” Meanwhile, all these people complaining about the defense budget taking away money.

-Rush Limbaugh, radio personality and asshole

Tim Pawlenty has a different take:

“…anybody who didn-t see the national scope of the widespread decaying of U.S. infrastructure was naive or misleading.”

-Tim Pawlenty, Republican governor of Minnesota

Either Pawlenty isn’t a true-blooded republican… or Limbaugh is being his typically normal asshole-ish self. You decide!

These people really should get their talking points straight.

White House spokesman Scott M. Stanzel

From an MSNBC article yesterday: White House raps recent flurry of probes

(White House spokesman Scott) Stanzel said of Congress, “I would say they have a lot to show in terms of activity and requests and letter-writing, and that sort of thing, but not much to show in the way of real legislation - whether it’s legislation on health care, education, comprehensive immigration reform.”

“All of those things are important issues that we think the American people care about and would like to see Congress move forward on.”

Real legislation? Scott seems to be unaware that whenever Congress tries to legislate on these important issues, the GOP minority spares no expense at blocking it - including using the very same filibuster maneuver that republicans recently lambasted democrats over. Also, does Scott believe in the congressional oversight authority over the Executive Branch? Appears he doesn’t.

Yo, Scott… Try to imagine just how much legislation could have taken place if the republicans hadn’t wasted so much time sticking their noses into President Bill Clinton’s private business!

From a July 5th post at TPMmuckraker: White House: “Equal Justice?”

Sometimes it’s just too easy. From this afternoon’s White House press briefing:

Q: Scott, is Scooter Libby getting more than equal justice under the law? Is he getting special treatment?

MR. STANZEL: Well, I guess I don’t know what you mean by “equal justice under the law.”

Scott admits to not knowing what “equal justice under the law” means. Good grief! His credentials suggests a higher level of education, but he speaks the language of NASCAR.
