Two-fer

Reid raises more money from outside his state than any other senator. Vermont's Patrick J. Leahy (D) edges out Reid in the percentage he raises from out of state with 86 percent…. (Washington Post, 6/28/10)

This little ditty from the Washington Post is what we call a “two-fer.” We learn that Nevada Democrat Senator Harry Reid raises the most money from out-of-state special interests than ANY OTHER SENATOR, but Vermont Democrat Senator-for-Life Patrick Leahy gets the largest percentage of out-of-state special interest money than ANY OTHER SENATOR. Thick as thieves!

Supreme Madness
Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., said Kagan had a "sterling reputation" and was "unquestionably qualified" to serve on the Supreme Court, calling her lack of judicial experience "refreshing." (FoxNews, 6/28/10)

In the same way that Barack Obama’s lack of experience is “refreshing!”

Leahy echoed that point, saying the charges against Kagan have been made in a "vacuum" because the nominee has not had a chance to answer. (FoxNews, 6/28/10)

Because Leahy would never make charges against a Republican Supreme Court nominee before they had a chance to answer!

Bad Humor Man
Vice President Biden called the manager of a custard shop outside of Milwaukee, Wis., a "smartass" after the man asked him to lower taxes. Biden made the comment Friday after the Kopp’s Frozen Custard shop manager told him that his dessert would be on the house if he lowered taxes. (FoxNews, 6/28/10)

President Obama had his brush with the common man in his Joe the Plumber encounter. Now Vice-President Biden follows with his Joe the Custard Man moment.
