Pretty funny....Obama had to got to a Republican to avoid having another tax cheat turn up.
So she'd be a better pick for Commerce than Gregg! That says a lot.
I am so disappointed that he'd fall for this. Must have been a heck of an offer.
There were rumors that the deal with the replacement was that she won't run for re-election after her two years. Anybody read that too? How would that work, anyway, as a contract?
We have shouted through the rooftops “No more RINOS”. What do we get more RINOS.
This has got to stop and we have to stop it.
Hmm, I’d always wondered what she’s been up to since “One Day at a Time.”
. . .
Hmm? Wrong Bonnie? Nevermind. ;^)
What is with you people?
The DEMOCRAT governor had the authority to appoint Bernie Sanders’ more liberal brother and, instead, appointed a Republican and still you bitch.
Can you say Lincoln Chaffee?
Gregg should be shunned; but who can blame him for the important position of Commerce Secretary!!! Wow that will impress the ladies
There is One More Football Game Whose Outcome Is Widely Anticipated 
Pascal Fervor
With his Provincial Papers, Blaise Pascal advanced the Age of Reason by ridiculing the corruption of the powerful. We live in an age where the powerful and corrupt are shameless. Still, if scorn is heaped high enough, it reveals their thinking that the rest of us are stupid. No despots can withstand such exposure for long.
Reports: GOP moderate Bonnie Newman to be new NH senator
The Dems have WON! Gregg should never have agreed to have a position in the Obama administration. It will not enhance his career, he is just a traitor to Republicans.

How is picking a non-conservative Republican seriously much better than just picking a Democrat for this seat? If she votes leftist on most to all of the issues, then it really doesn’t matter, and with all of the RINOs in the current Senate, conservatives don’t have enough political clout anyways. She will probably vote with the Democrats on most issues and help the Republican Party and not just the Democratic Party get much of the blame for all future problems that will be coming for the next two years. The Republican Party screwed up yet again! Grrr!
Great, she’ll also be in there, not only as a RINO, but as a Chafee-style ticking time bomb, ready to switch parties should the next election give the GOP some seats back and they look like they’re going to take the Senate back.
Bad news all around.... Gregg going to Cabinet and this coming in to replace him. Very bad news.
Is Gregg doing her?
Newman and One 9/11 Truther’s Academic Freedom [David Freddoso]
Those interested in learning more about New Hampshire’s next Republican Senator should check out the end of this interview she gave the New Hampshire Business Review in February 2007.
Here is the context: William Woodward is a psychology professor at the University of New Hampshire and a peace activist. That is not unusual, but his 9/11 conspiracy theories are. Woodward sparked great controversy when he alleged that “government elites orchestrated 9/11.” For a sample of his views, here is a sample from a lengthy letter he wrote the Portsmouth Herald last year:
[L]ike the first Pearl Harbor, the new one has been exposed as a hoax of monumental proportions. Read any of the dozen scholarly books that you find by searching “new Pearl Harbor” at Amazon books online. Supposedly, 19 Arabs boarded the planes and steered them toward targets, defying NORAD and the best defended air corridor in the world. The official story is promulgated by a compliant press owned by just five corporations (including General Electric, a major producer of war equipment).
...The collapses resembled controlled demolitions. Firefighters reported multiple synchronized explosions. Molten metal remained for weeks afterward. No kerosene fire has ever melted steel. A steel-cutting explosive called thermate was found. Videotapes of the airplane that hit the Pentagon were confiscated and not reported. Flight 93 was apparently shot down and its debris covers miles. The executive director of the 9/11 Commission Report, Phillip Zelikow, is a Bush crony. The CIA trains terrorists around the world and is linked to Osama bin Laden. Bets just prior to 9/11/01 that the stock price of United and American Airlines would drop (”put options”) show insider knowledge.
After Woodward was quoted in the newspapers discussing the matter, a number of politicians, including both Judd Gregg and Gov. John Lynch (D), called for an investigation. Bonnie Newman, who was then acting president of UNH, defended his activities on the grounds that they represented legitimate free inquiry that was appropriate to an institution of higher learning. Her words at the time were: “[W]e encourage the open inquiry of ideas and respect the freedoms, rights and responsibilities of all members of our learning community.”
Later, Newman gave the above-mentioned interview, which went as follows:
Q. There was a controversy last year about Professor William Woodward, who has a theory that he shares with his students that our government knew in advance about the 9/11 attacks. Some thought it would have been an opportune time for elected officials, including the governor to take a stand for academic freedom. He chose not to. Were you disappointed?
Newman: I think that the governor was acting as a governor would have to, and I acted as a university president. We saw the situation from each of our individual perspectives. I think a great many people were as frustrated as the governor was at Professor Woodward’s view of what happened on that tragic day. However, while we disagreed with his conclusion about what happened in New York on September 11th, we respect here his right to be able to express his views.
Q. And then Sen. Judd Gregg said there are limits to freedom of speech. Any thoughts about that?
Newman: We disagree. Let me say in the instance that we’re discussing, I don’t believe that we stepped over that threshold.

Obviously a RINO who will vote with teh Dhimmicraps most of the time, especially on procedural and cloture votes. The Dhimmicraps aren’t giving up their dream of a filibuster-proof Senate this easily.
Any other RINO Senators from sates with Dhimmicrap governors whom BO can name to HHS now that Puff Daschle is gone?
No doubt she is the kind of Republican who won’t have to reach across the aisle, she’s already there.
