Remember the Fallen…

It looks like it’s going to be “the scandals are old news” week.

[Bernard]

Dick Durbin on Memorial Day weekend? Really? Fortunately the show also has Robert Dole, so hopefully he will represent the people in this country who like the military.

As a native of Illinois and almost-life-long resident here, I am ashamed that Dick Durbin comes from my state.

A day to remember those who gave the ultimate sacrifice. Thank you to all our service members.

MEET THE PRESS (NBC): Pre-empted by Monaco Grand Prix.

Hell, I'm watching that!

(maybe they'll have some commercials)

[Diogenesis]

THE REAL DEAL (old news and then SSDD):

"Army Major (Hasan) Played Role in Presidential (Obama) Transition"

---

"Victims of Cole bombing upset
"A top officer slammed Obama's decision to seek the withdrawal of charges against the 2000 suspected U.S.S. Cole ship bomber."

---

"Impeach Obama Says Sister of Cole Sailor Killed in Terror Attacks
"The sister of Seaman James McDaniels, a sailor killed in the terror attack on the U.S.S. Cole wants President Barack Hussein Obama impeached
over his decision to withdraw charges against the al Qaeda mastermind of the attack."

---

"Mother of USS Cole Sailor Declines Obama-meet, Says "I Voted for the Wrong Person"
"After Obama dropped the charges against the suspect in the bombing of the USS Cole,
he asked the families of the victims in that tragedy to meet with him.
One mother refused, and now says,"I voted for the wrong person."

With Linda, Chuck U, Turbin and DWS, my day is complete. Still, a tinge of sadness lingers with no DNC Dave or McShame, but I'll find the strength to carry-on, somehow.

It looks like it’s Amnesty Day” on the networks. The scandals are now to be sent to the dustbins of history.

[England] I’ll gag the hate clerics: Cameron to launch new terror task force to stamp out religious extremism

Shoulda, woulda, coulda

That may be the heritage Euro and, not far behind, the US and Canada leave in a couple of decades.

==

Perhaps some good news: Sen. Menendez says the Gang of 8 doesn't have 60 votes to pass the Rubio-Schumer-McCain-Graham amnesty.

Perhaps some not so good news: Speaker Boehner says the House it working on an amnesty plan.

Obama video: “I do not believe it would be Constitutional ...”

lolololololol

Since when has he let that stand in his way?

==

Distraction? Why is TW back on the drone question and Paul’s filibuster?

It seems the Media had enough of the scandals and are trying move on to other fluff.

No mccain. Will wonders ever cease?????? Did mccain die?

Dole on Obama:

Likes golf. Articulate, but lacks communication skills.

[Apparently, Dole hasn’t heard Obama trying to talk off-teleprompter.]

==

Dole sees his era as the good old days and sees Washington of today as a mess.

“Can Holder be impartial in Rosen case?”

Holder has never been impartial in his life. Its always
been about race and state. Holder investigating himself?
What a joke.

[TomGuy]

FNS

Juan is IRATE that DoJ went after Rosen, but Juan defends Holder as not being responsible, even though Holder signed off on the investigation.

Britt accused Juan of ‘projecting’ — Juan giving cover of what Holder did and did not do. Britt tells Juan that Juan/we have no idea what Holder did or did not do.

[Juan managed to earn his paychecks from both News Corp and the WH with his convoluted defense.]

[Uncle Chip]

Is this the Monaco Grand Prix thread???

[TomGuy]

FNS

Hume comments that Obama takes the position that he wants to protect from current actions, even though it is Obama Admin who are committing those actions.

[That is, in great part, why WE have the Bill of Rights — it was to protect the citizenry from over-reaching government. Note how many times in our history, those in power have tried to reduce or restrict or dismiss elements of those First Ten Amendments to The Constitution.]

"THIS WEEK (ABC): Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky.; Reps. Peter King, R-N.Y., and Debbie Wasserman Schultz, D-Fla.; retired Gen. John Allen, former commander of U.S. forces in Afghanistan."

The only one I wanted to see is showing the Indy 500.
