The Fluke Flap grows. Sandra didn’t testify before Congress. She testified before a souped up press conference arranged by some members of Congress. And it turns out Rush is far from the biggest pig in the land, though he does seem to be the only one with any wit.
Bill Maher’s idea of pushing the first amendment envelope is to use the “c” word on HBO. (Must stand for “c”ash, since he was able to give Obama’s super pac a million dollars.) Meanwhile The One mangles the first amendment by forcing the Catholic Church buy abortion pills. Give him credit for a sense of irony.
Kirsten Powers takes offense in the Daily Beast.

Obama feels we deserve to be protected from the Congress we elected, and he’s just the man to do it. To that end he made recess appointments to the NLRB and the new Consumer Protection bureaucracy.

Which is probably true considering the senate was in pro forma session when it approved the payroll tax cut extension.
