As Bob Herbert says:

There is always a tendency to underestimate Barack Obama. We are inclined in the news media to hyperventilate over every political or policy setback, no matter how silly or insignificant, while Mr. Obama has shown again and again that he takes a longer view...Mr. Obama is like a championship chess

I'm still trying to wrap my head around how any political party in America can equate itself to the Taliban and make it sound like it's a good thing.

I'm still failing. WTF?

Wait...what? I missed this. I can has quotes?

It's right after the poll on Obama, where they talk about the Republicans. It goes something like "Pete Sessions and his Taliban brothers in the House getting pummeled".

“Insurgency, we understand perhaps a little bit more because of the Taliban,” Sessions said during a meeting yesterday with Hotline editors. “And that is that they went about systematically understanding how to disrupt and change a person’s entire processes. And these Taliban - I’m not trying to say the Republican Party is the Taliban. No, that’s not what we’re saying. I’m saying an example of how you go about [sic] is to change a person from their messaging to their operations to their frontline message. And we need to understand that insurgency may be required when the other side, the House leadership, does not follow the same commands, which we entered the game with.”

Oh right. The one wher they compare the Republican tactics in Congress to becoming an insurgency. -_-

And I'm not really getting his logic there. Like, seriously, english motherfucker, do you speak it?

[mollywobbles867]

Thanks for the quote.
