Fox and Friends is the second worst segment on Fox News behind Hannity. Though, I haven't seen Gretchen Carlson's new show yet. I imagine that is terrible seeing as she was the worst person on Fox and Friends.

Why are you guys hating on fox and friends?
Its an amazing post modern comedy, that's what it is right?

Red eye deserves mention somewhere in there.
Steve Doocy is a troglodyte.

I don't imagine she'll be there for long. The usual Fox and Friends Blonde Female Host replacement process usually goes:
1. Insert new blonde on F&F.
2. Give old blonde some random dayside hour.
3. Wait until contract expires, don't offer old blonde another one and send her packing.
Meanwhile, Doocy and Kilmeade will be like Wooderson: they'll get older and older, but their female partner will stay the same age.
Well, I guess by "terrible" I meant "disingenuous lie and propaganda filled segments that are infuriating".
Red Eye is a different kind of "terrible" in that it's "smarmy, unfunny, and lacking in any kind of real substance in between the classist insults".

This is probably old as hell because I don't watch The Daily Show on a regular basis, but this is equal parts hilarious and sad.

Actly hearing of some House GOPs saying reaction to default/shutdown been so bad so far, no choice but to impeach so public gets it.

Yes, please try that.
They dun fucked up.
Instead of inventing a crisis, and getting absolutely nothing out of it except the worst approval ratings in history, they could have passed everything originally, not shutdown the government, and began their anti-Obamacare propaganda brigade.
I would ask if everyone thinks they learned their lesson, but we all know this shit is going to happen again in a few months.

I'm not sure I'm grasping this fully. They think because they caught flak for the shutdown the public will realize who's fault it really was by impeaching Obama?
Yes, the people just don't get it right now. The message isn't getting out how the slimdown [aka "shutdown"] was entirely Obama's fault. He's the one who refused to repeal Obamacare, after all. He won't even negotiate on how best to defund Obamacare, which is clearly what everybody wants. It's been a nightmare, and he should be impeached - if only so that the people know who to blame for this.

They must be thinking they haven't damaged the republican brand enough.

House is going to allegedly pass the Senate compromise first, which means Cruz would have only one vote to fillibuster instead of two.

Unless the "income verification" goes above and beyond what is in the law already - I can't find details yet - Republicans got nothing. Zilch.
Disappointed Wonkblog didn't use a pic of Boehner crying.

At that point, I'd hope the rest of the media (CNN) would drop the "both sides" game. The Tea Party nut jobs would just be trolling, and digging a grave for the modern GOP.
I can't believe this is real, but it would be awesome!
Since the treasury can use "extraordinary measures" again if there's a debt limit fight it'll be in September/October, close to the election. The last bill to raise the ceiling actually ended last March and we're just now getting to be in danger of default.
This has got to be a troll. I mean, is this crap actually escaping from House R's mouths?
Not if Wolf Blitzer can help it!

This is a good point. I remember an article about republicans voting for the Ryan budget in principle, ie when it was just some talking points on paper. When it came time to actually write the bill many members flinched because they were shocked at the cuts involved. Writing an actual bill is different than throwing talking points on paper, which is what republicans have done for three years.
Same with their 10 page healthcare plan, which can't even be fully scored by the CBO because it has no...well nothing. They spent 5 years complaining about bill sizes, now they're afraid to write a major bill.

I went to vote for Booker, and the people at the polling booth seemed surprised that someone had actually shown up. It was like an event that I was there. I wonder how low the turn-out is.
It'll be low. That's why Christie made it a special election. It will keep Dem turnout low in the general and give him and the guy running against Booker a better shot of winning their elections.

The polls have narrowed in recent weeks, but yeah, he's not going to lose.
