NY Times: "To Court Blacks, Foes of Abortion Make Racial Case."

Newsbusters "The Times story never wavered on labeling. "Pro-life" only occurred in the names of pro-life groups and in their quotes. The story had 11 uses of labeling negatives, "antis" and "opponents" and "foes" (not including three in the headlines and captions), while the other side were "supporters" of "abortion rights." "

Biden To Union: We Can Pass Card Check

Sweetness & Light  "Biden spent most of his hour-long talk on job creation, and made the case to union officials that the administration’s greatest priority is to stimulate growth in jobs that unions could then go out and organize. Ain’t it the truth? The only jobs this administration is interested in creating are union jobs. Because they aren’t interested in jobs. They are only interested in votes."

CHARLIE RANGEL STILL HAS A JOB

Neal Boortz "Charlie Rangel is among that elite class of Congress who believes that they are entitled to their position of power in Washington. He is part of some special class, which places him and his actions above the rule of law. Some might call that arrogance. Charlie Rangel's biggest supporter in the House seems to be Nancy Pelosi."

REID TO OBAMA ... WOULD YOU PLEASE STAY OUT OF NEVADA?

Nealz Nuze "...since Obama's visit to Nevada the news hasn't been good ... for Reid. A reported 17% of voters say they are now less likely to vote for Reid in November. Seven percent say they are more likely. My math skills bring me to the conclusion that Reid lost an additional 10% of the vote in Nevada due to Obama's visit."

Hot Air "Democratic leaders have asked colleagues not to use the term “reconciliation” but instead to refer to the process as “majority vote,” said Rep. Allyson Schwartz, D-Pa. They also are frequently using the term “up or down vote.”" Just words?

Madame Speaker, Meet Reality

Commentary "And then there are the upcoming elections, the retirements, the corruption scandals, and her own unpopularity. But she assures us that the Democrats will keep their majority. Listen, what do you expect her to say? No use turning a rout into a stampede. "

ABSOLUTE CORRUPTION: PELOSI BACKS THIEF RANGEL

Atlas Shrugs "Earlier Friday, Rep. Gene Taylor, a conservative Democrat from Mississippi, suggested that Rangel should give up his chairmanship of the Ways and Means Committee, which originates not only tax laws but also benefit programs that now pay nearly half the costs for Americans' health care."...."The ethics matter comes at a delicate time for Democrats who are trying to push ahead with their stalled health care legislation. The Ways and Means Committee will play a key role in what eventually may be enacted."-------- Video: Hey, remember when Pelosi wanted “ethically unfit” leaders to be dumped?

The Edifice Falls

Heritage "The latest attempt to force the U.S. economy to turn away from readily available, affordable fuels and leaving it to the tender mercies of untried, experimental and expensive technologies is a bipartisan effort by Sens. [Kerry, Graham and Lieberman]. A legislative package from them, according to The Washington Post on Saturday, would individually cap how much traditional energy the main pillars of the American economy would be able to use."

Blaming Bush — Enough Yet?

Commentary "...there is another, more fundamental reason why Obama should stop: it’s embarrassing. It simply reinforces the meme that Obama isn’t very presidential. Petulant? Certainly. Condescending? Definitely. But presidential – meaning above-the fray, decisive, appealing to the better angels of our nature, and careful to use only the best and most accurate data? Hardly." ----- Obama Fatigue By Victor Davis Hanson; "Every President starts to wear on the public. But the omnipresent Obama has become wearisome in record time. Why? "
