In the meantime, here's a handful of interesting political stories to chew on.
Van Jones Hits White House For ‘Sit Down, Shut Up, We’ll Take Care Of It’ Attitude [Mediaite] - Interesting take on basically the same thing I've been saying here for weeks.
Herman Cain the GOP believes In [WashPost] - A poorly reasoned explanation for Herman Cain's race-free ascent to the top of the GOP polls by cable news pundit Ron Christie. I mean, really, this is just awful.
The GOP’s cynical embrace of Herman Cain [WashPost] - William Jelani Cobb's far more insightful take on the same subject.
Bill Maher Doesn’t Think ESPN Should Have Fired Hank Williams Jr. [Mediaite] - Yeah, whatever. Maher's shtick is so tiring at this point...
Herman Cain's "999 Plan": The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly [FreedomWorks] - Tea Party website basically slams Cain's signature plan.
CNN’s Candy Crowley To Rep. Bachmann: ‘It Appears That Your Campaign Is Imploding’ [Mediaite] - Well no sh*t Sherlock.
Lawrence O’Donnell’s Racially Charged Attacks A Political Gift To Herman Cain [Mediaite] - Not sure if anyone else saw this, but it was pretty disgusting, and I'm glad O'Donnell was basically forced to apologize.
Joe The Plumber Is Back And Filing For A House Run In Ohio [The Hill] - No, really. This is happening. What's Tito The Builder running for?
Question: Any thoughts on these stories?
