POPS Tom Tancredo Walks Off MSNBC Set Because Of Markos Moulitas "You're not going to do that. You're not going to try to insult me that way and then pretend like we're just going on and talk about that. You either apologize ..." When Moulitas did not apologize, Tancredo simply took out his earpiece and walked away. As a Republican student activist, Tancredo spoke out in favor of the Vietnam War but did not serve. After graduating from college in June 1969, he became eligible to serve in Vietnam. Tancredo said he went for his physical, telling doctors he'd been treated for depression, and eventually got a deferment.

POPSHow low can the Republicans go! The overall approval ratings of Congressional Republicans is 17% as a party! The Dems are taking their lumps over this chaotic time, but nowhere near the kinds of wounds the GOP are suffering. The media make it appear that all these teabaggers are rallying around the RNC and the country just loves the Beltway elites' favorite party, but that's not true at all.

POPSO'Reilly, the HATE that you Love to Love?! DON'T read if you love Love! The most salient issue is not that O’Reilly fancies himself a “traditionalist,” rejects the secularization of America, extols the Judeo-Christian foundations of our nation, and bemoans the perfidious culture war being propagated by the liberal Hollywood elite while simultaneously threatening to massage an employee’s tits. What’s most disturbing is that that he completely sucks at phone sex. To help Bill navigate his way past life’s many obstacles, we figured we’d give him some pointers for future producer-harassing endeavors At times during phone sex you use complicated, almost clinical terms such as “intravenously” and “modus operandi.” Avoid immature descriptions. This is key. You sound like 13 when you use phrases like “rubbing your big boobs.” Avoid misspoken or mispronounced words. A lot has been made about your falafel comment, and it was obviously a blunder, but come on. It’s a big blunder.

POPSDaily Kos Bans Sheehan This is classic. Does anyone believe the reaction would have been different if Ms. Sheehan had opted for a primary challenge instead? And folks thought that the tendency to eat one's own was a uniquely Republican failing.

POPSFormer General Wes Clark, Jr. wants to know if you've HAD ENOUGH! From his blog at the Daily Kos: Enough of seeing the Constitution trashed? Enough of the corruption? Enough of the war? Enough of the gutless response of our elected Democratic representatives? If you're answer is yes, he has a suggestion. Every week, starting this Sunday, he and his friend Cenk Uyger will be going to the corner of Veteran and Wilshire in West LA, and they're asking that people in other cities to hold similar one-hour protests in their local areas to help spread the message. Obviously, I can't go myself, but I'm hoping that by posting this, maybe one or two of you will decide to go or will pass it on to your own friends. A Clark notes in his full post (click the link below to read the whole thing), the government isn't listening to any of us at this point - and the only way to change that is to get large enough groups out making it clear they've had enough that the message can no longer be ignored.
