It will likely, miss the taped Sunday talking head shows. Nice planning Rahm lol.
I can’t wait to see snarky Olberfuhrer this coming week...I predict a special commentary and a special nervous breakdown by Olbergruppenfuhrer.

This news was released at midnight on a Saturday night of a 3-day holiday weekend? Did they think Freepers would be asleep?
I wonder how many of the Sunday news program hosts just got a midnight phone call? "Uh, hey, boss ... we're going to need to rewrite that opening monologue."

You know they are gonna claim this was a vast right wing witch hunt, right?
And Obama will say "this isn't the Van Jones that I knew. I never heard him say any of those things that FOX NEWS talked about."

Nothing in the New York Times site or CNN.

Being able to appoint people to well paid, powerful positions in the Federal government with no vetting or oversight whatsoever needs to be made illegal!
Congress, by allowing this, is permitting the Office of the President to have powers not granted by the Constitution.
You'd think these power hungry Congressmen would object to giving away some of their power.
Something smells seriously FISHY!!!

Excerpt from a post I put up last night:
Sarah got off a "kill shot" on the "death panels", and it looks as though Glenn's about to bag one, too.
