In case you missed the Sarah Palin tweet fest over the weekend:

Ground Zero Mosque supporters: doesn’t it stab you in the heart, as it does ours throughout the heartland? Peaceful Muslims, pls refudiate

So many layers there. Megan Carpentier peels the onion.

President Obama will fully engage on the issue of Republicans blocking the extension of unemployment benefits, beginning this morning with a Rose Garden address.

You have to admit that the debate in Democratic circles, over whether to try to run against George W. Bush one last time, is at least a legitimate debate. Whether you come down on the side of it being a no brainer or consider it a tacit admission of failure (or, as I do, think of it as just another arrow in the quiver in an election year where Dems better shoot all the arrows they can muster), you can make a reasoned argument either way.

But Republicans wanting to make 2010 a referendum on Bush? Are you kidding me?

The Washington Post has debuted its much-anticipated mega-project on the post-9/11 national security apparatus. I’m just starting to click through it. Curious what you think.

The West Virginia legislature can’t agree on changes to the state’s special election law that would guarantee a permanent successor to the late Sen. Robert Byrd is selected this year. Eric Kleefeld explains.

Smart Republicans wrote off their chances of capturing Harry Reid’s seat as soon as the Nevada GOP made Sharron Angle the party’s nominee. It looks like they were right. In the short time since she won on June 8, she’s made a series of gaffes (if you call radical, ill-informed political ideas “gaffes”) that have given Reid new life in the polls and very possibly crippled any prospect she had of making her race one of the headliners for the GOP in 2010.

Mark Williams’ racist screeds last week got his group, the Tea Party Express, delisted by the national umbrella group of tea party franchises. We’ll have more for you shortly on just who this Williams guy is — and his group’s ties to the Republican Party infrastructure.

Another prime example of a leading Republican wanting to turn 2010 into a referendum on George W. Bush. See other examples? Pass them our way.

Sen. David Vitter (R-LA) endured 10 minutes of live air time on Fox News — without facing a single question about his new primary opponent or about his former woman-abusing aide who handled women’s issues for Vitter.

That birther Army doctor being court-martialed for refusing to obey a lawful deployment order on the grounds that Obama isn’t legally qualified to be President releases a new video in which he laments the failure of his attempt to make the court-martial proceeding into a trial of whether Obama is a natural born U.S. citizen.
