[Bono]

As if anyone will remember this in 2010.

[Rowan]

As if anyone will remember this in 2010.

In fact, they'll probably agree more by 2010.

[Rob]

I'm just glad his approvals didn't go up.

[Amenhotep Bakari-Sellers]

Lacked tactfulfulness and appeared to scorn the president during a televised speech.  The election will go from that point. 

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

If obama takes up Immigration next year, which I doubt, it will be a rehash of the 2006 and 2007 Bush-McCAin-Kennedy approach no matter how much Obama wants to spin it as change and it will be taken up a mere months before the election(Health Care isn't done till December or Jan win or lose, Financial Regulations will take several months to do if they can get done at all) with unemployement greater then 10%, Obama's approvals in the low 50's and his political capital exhausted. If this plays out, Joe Wilson will be proven right at least in the eyes of many people and B the issue will put districts like this completely out of reach for Dems if the Republican is a firm opponent of amnesty.

[Eraserhead]

Cool.

And now for something completely different:

Rob Miller has a million dollars to remind them.

[Rowan]

As if anyone will remember this in 2010.

Rob Miller has a million dollars to remind them.

And Rob Wilson has a million dollars to remind them their president is black.

Jake Tapper has a decent fact check on his ABC blog that provides a little more nuance into the blunt charges.

Also interesting on the accusations about who's the liar, is this analysis from CQPolitics. Clearly it's as much about how and when as it is about the accusation itself.

[Eraserhead]

As if anyone will remember this in 2010.

Rob Miller has a million dollars to remind them.

And Rob Wilson has a million dollars to remind them their president is black.

And you essentially just admitted yourself that South Carolina Republicans are racist.

This.  This incident came too early, and Michelle Bachmann's "HUAC" incident came too late... what a shame.

[Ronnie]

Right after the incident, and it's a tie?

Safe GOP
