150liberty.jpgWASHINGTON (Reuters) – Democrats, who won control of the U.S. Congress, said on Sunday they will push for a phased withdrawal of American troops from Iraq to begin in four to six months, but the White House cautioned against fixing timetables.

source100_cutrunse4.jpgThat didn’t take long, did it? (just don’t call it cut and run) Next up for the Left: “targeted revenue enhancements”…….

But to call them tax increases would go against all the bi-partisan, Rodney King, “can’t we all just get along” stuff that is coming from DC. I was hoping that by now, the Republicans would have realized that the “new attitude” stuff sounds good, but isn’t practical when the opposition party is willing to play chicken with National Security just for political gain.

    It gets even…better?
    Pelosi endorses Strategic Redeployment Murtha for majority leader.

    “Your strong voice for national security, the war on terror and Iraq provides genuine leadership for our party, and I count on you to continue to lead on these vital issues,” Pelosi wrote Murtha Sunday in a letter obtained by The Hill. “For this and for all you have done for Democrats in the past and especially this last year, I am pleased to support your candidacy for majority leader for the 110th Congress.”…

    Dang!
    It’s true! You can justify anything with rhetoric.

    Oh Man!
    I don’t watch SNL. I haven’t seen an episode since John Belushi, Dan Akroyd, and Chevy Chase were on. So clicking on this video about Nancy Pisslousy was difficult…glad I did. She’s a real San Francisco treat.

    I loved the audience reaction.
    They cheered at all the dhimmicrat talking points, and gagged and oohed at the fun they had with her SanFran roasting.
