Finally, the MSM holding Congress to account
for it's actions! :sarcasm:

CNN's Wolfie, in his Situation Room, keeping a running tab on the Dems "First 100 Hours" in the House. Funny, I don't recall such rapt attention being afforded the 109th Congress in the form of media oversight. Collusion, more like it.

2. What's his complaint?
They're 100% on track as of 7:25pm. They would have been done with day one hours ago had the Repukes not acted like assholes. Is Leslie saying they're not on track?

5. You know it's just a set up! The idea behind their stupid timer

is the hope that Dems, for whatever reason, fail to deliver on all the promised goals and then they'll raise bloody hell and make plenty of hay about how Dems let down Americans.

Bullshit. Because does anyone really believe the 9/11 Commission recommendations will all get done? I don't.

3. And some will claim the complicity of the media is actually only the Dems' own fault
for getting on their radar.

Any Dem who sticks their neck out gets a kicking by the corpmedia.

7. The Republican Miscreants are never held to the same standards
as the Democrats. It took them six days to get aid to the Katrina victims and no one in the media put the screws to them, yet, the new Congress hasn't been in session for three days and the media is demanding accountability.

A pox on them.
