Civility
James Hoffa only wants to take the S.O.B. s out, Maxine Waters wants to take the Tea Party to hell .
Rebuttal
Nancy Pelosi is offended that Republicans won’t tear themselves away from the game tonight to complain about Obama’s speech.
The President’s Speech
It’s settled. The president’s latest big jobs speech will not be ignored in favor of the Republican debate on Wednesday. It will be ignored in favor of the NFL opener between the Packers and the Saints on Thursday.
The Big Picture
Condoleeza Rice was minding her own business last week until Dick Cheney tried to blow up her head. No, he didn’t take her hunting. The former VP was hustling his book, In My Time, by saying it would make heads explode. The book did get a rise out of Condi by claiming she tearfully regretted advising President Bush to apologize for his State of the Union claim that Iraq had tried to buy yellow cake uranium in Niger.
The unwanted African attention continued when it was revealed that the cross dressing former Libyan leader, Moammar Gadhafi, kept an album crammed with photos of the former Secretary of State.
As it turns out , the yellow cake business led the demise of Saddam Hussein (not to mention Scooter Libby in the Valerie Plame trial), which directly caused Gadhafi to fearfully surrender his own real nuclear program and give up AQ Kahn’s international nuke sales operation.
No New Net Jobs
The Labor Department kicked off the Labor Day weekend with a jobs report which came up 60,000 short of the forecast 60,000 new jobs. The unemployment rate remains at 9.1 percent.
