Dumb0 still in his golf clothes, looking pissed, stuck in the corner while the adults are in the chairs with laptops. Looks like the kid you invite to a party because you know he doesn't have any friends but then leave to skulk around by himself because there's a reason he doesn't have any friends.

THE WEEKLY STANDARD reported last week that Democratic congressional candidate Scott Murphy claimed to have met with White House political operatives “in the situation room.” The White House has been non-responsive to inquiries as to whether the Situation Room--previously reserved for national security-related meetings--is now being used for political get togethers. Now we learn in today’s Washington Post that Rahm Emanuel called a group of veterans' group leaders together to discuss a budget controversy "in the Situation Room," with "Emmanuel seated in the President's chair." The article notes that the vets made a political pitch to Rahm--"We said 'look, don't...
