Breakfast Scramble (Saturday)

DavidL's Breakfast Scramble

‘Rats question Pubs’ Patriotism, then inside the Beltway, respect is a one way street, from John Stanton, Roll Call [1]:

Following several hours of floor speeches hammering the GOP, a handful of Democrats including Sens. Bob Menendez (N.J.), Charles Schumer (N.Y.), Debbie Stabenow (Mich.), Claire McCaskill (Mo.), Jack Reed (R.I.) and Jeff Merkley (Ore.) attacked Republicans in a press conference, repeatedly using the word “hostage” to characterize the status of middle-class tax cuts.

“Do you allow yourself to be held hostage and get something done for the sake of getting something done, when in fact it might be perverse in its ultimate results? It’s almost like the question of do you negotiate with terrorists,” Menendez said when asked whether he and other Democrats would accept a compromise with Republicans.

“The majority has a responsibility to get something done, but [also] to get something done that is good for the country,” he added.

The ‘Rate have a funny idea of what is good for the country: food safety(dead);  DREAM Act, to wit open borders;and amnesty; and the START Treaty, rolling over for the Russians.

Wetback walks fifteen hundred miles, in wrong direction, from Tolleah Price, CBS News [2]:

She’s 25, has three degrees and teaches music to autistic children

But Gaby Pacheco is still chasing an elusive dream. She’s undocumented.

Her family immigrated to the United States in 1993, when she was seven.

[…]

Pacheco and three other undocumented students just completed a 1,500 mile walk from Miami to Washington, D.C. to share their stories and urge lawmakers to pass the DREAM Act, or the Development, Relief and Education for Alien Minors Act.

If Ms Pacheco can walk fifteen hundred miles, she can walk back to Mexico,  or from wherever she came.

Top ten conservative pundits? I doubt it.  Some yokel site, Conservative Home, no link, listed their top ten coservative pundits:

  • Glenn Beck: 33%
  • Charles Krauthammer: 29%
  • Bill O’Reilly: 24%
  • Sean Hannity: 21%
  • Newt Gingrich: 16%
  • Michelle Malkin: 16%
  • Mike Huckabee: 13%
  • Ann Coulter: 13%
  • George Will: 13%

Mike Huckabee a conservative?
