Barack Obama: The Photographic Metaphor
He kinda looks cool doing it, but in the end it’s just a big old fail. Kind of sums it up.

Calling All Tax Cheats: Obama Gets To Make Another Appointment
News is breaking this evening that Justice David Souter is retiring from the Supreme Court effective June. Souter is one of the more liberal members of the court, so Barack Obama could pretty much appoint his buddy Bill Ayers and nothing much would change vote-wise.
Liberal tax cheats across the nation with any legal experience are feverishly preparing their resumes in anticipation of another Barack Obama appointment.
For what it’s worth, there’s one analysis by a respected law professor indicating Benedict Arlen’s recent defection to the party of spend and whine is an obstacle to Obama appointing a died-in-the-wool liberal.
Put Your Teeth In And Hit The Road: FOX Cancels Beltway Boys
Via TVNewser comes a Washington Whispers report that FOX News has canceled long-running Saturday evening staple The Beltway Boys.
The Boys’ Website says the show is “preempted this weekend,” but [Washington Whispers’ Paul] Bedard’s sources tell him the show has been canceled.
Hosts Fred Barnes and Mort Kondracke celebrated 10 years of the show last summer. They are expected to stay on contributing to other FNC programs.
Outcast: Dems Don’t Like Benedict Arlen Either
Although all you saw during yesterday’s “100 Day Knob Gobble” marathon was grinning and love glances between Benedict Arlen Specter, Slow Joe Biden and President Thin Skin , truth is that things aren’t going so well between Specter and his new Decmocrat brethren in the Senate.
At issue are the committee-related bribes offered to Specter by Majority Leader Harry Reid in exchange for his defection. It seems that the rank-and-file Democrats aren’t in love with the idea of giving up their own seniority in exchange for a vote they would have probably gotten on most issues anyway. And by “aren’t in love with,” I mean “are furious over.” For a group of folks on the ruling side of one-party rule, they sure seem unduly angry all the time.

NRSC Doesn’t Seem Too Keen On Toomey
Orrin Hatch, vice-chariman of the National Republican Senate Committee, doesn’t think Pat Toomey can beat disgraced Pennsylvania Senator Arlen Specter in the 2010 General Election. Some are speculating that the NRSC may even recruit a candidate to challenge Toomey in the Republican Primary.
One name being bandied about, as I reported here yesterday, is former Pennsylvania Governor Tom Ridge.
An Enchanted Evening for New York Times’ Zeleny
In an active display of why the New York Times is bankrupt and nearly out of business, “reporter” Jeff Zeleny embarrassed himself in front of whatever small part of the nation actually tuned into the “Obama 100 Day Knob Gobble” by wasting one of the pitifully few questions allowed of The One.
During these first 100 days, what has surprised you the most about this office? Enchanted you the most from serving in this office? Humbled you the most? And troubled you the most?
A Classy Day 100: Obama Parrots Janeane Garofalo
Failed President Barack Obama continues to undo Bush policy, specifically that whole “bringing honor back to the White House” thing, as he attacks FOX News and the hundreds of thousands of people who took to the streets to protest his out of control spending and tripling of the national debt in three months. Honestly, what’s the bottom point of how low he will bring the Office of President?
(Video Below) When you see, you know, those of you who are watching certain news channels on which I’m not very popular, and you see folks waving tea bags around, let me just remind them that I am happy to have a serious conversation about how we are going to cut our health care costs down over the long term, how we’re going to stabilize social security. Claire and I are working diligently to do basically a thorough audit of federal spending. But let’s not play games and pretend that the reason is because of the Recovery Act, because that’s just a fraction of the overall problem that we’ve got.
