Just a fantastic 6 minutes and 5 seconds of Rachel Maddow (not Maddox) goodness. You will, if you are like me, enjoy every second of it. If you are not like me and you are a trolling wingnut, then you will cringe in horror. Yes, I’m talking to you you #tcot bandit you!

If you’re going to blog under a pseudonym and be anonymous, it’s best not to make your name on your blog the same as the name on your Twitter account that also contains your real name, which also happens to be the first Google result for said anonymous name.
Or maybe DJ Tablesauce (AKA Jon Keeling) didn’t want to be anonymous afterall. Which is weird. Why not just blog as Jon Keeling then? Who knows. Maybe he was initially worried that Intrepics would not like paying him to take shots at liberal Ohio bloggers and would instead rather he focus on his job as a Senior Consultant. (Or before that Systems Planning & Analysis wanting him to focus on his job as Policy Analyst in the Homeland Security Division).
Hard to say. Anyway. Hi Jon.

A reader forwards yet another photo of the weak turnout in Columbus today. Photographer estimated the crowd at around 20. I guess a little rain dampened their revolutionary spirits.
People will continue to pay taxes (95% of us less) and Barack Obama will still be our President. Carry on.

Before Jindal’s speech last night:
This is not the only time in history that Jindal will follow Obama

Those Republicans cheering this might want to think twice about what just happened. Your Presidential candidate – who supported the plan and said he’d vote for it – just finished the dramatic move of “suspending” his campaign to come to Washington to make it appear as if he brokered a deal.
There is no deal. McCain can’t even lead his own party. This will be viewed as utter failure.
Secondly, while some are noting anecdotal evidence of 10-1 calls into congressional offices against this bill, the American people as a whole either did not know what to think or narrowly supported it. This is a big change from Friday to Sunday. Why? People were with their families and the reality of the situation began to freak them out a bit. Expect this support to only grow as today’s stock market losses will only cause more freakouts and calls for stability and the government to step in.
Serious miscalculation to applaud this in the wingnut blogosphere.
If you think I was off base in my earlier commentary as to why the Republicans felt they had to make the sacrificial move of voting this down, just listen to Issa:
Representative Darrell Issa, a Republican, said he was “resolute†in his opposition to the measure because it would betray party principles and amount to “a coffin on top of Ronald Reagan’s coffin.â€

Steve Schmidt on Meet The Press this weekend:
“What Senator McCain was able to do was to help bring all of the parties to the table, including the House Republicans, whose votes were needed to pass this,”
What are they saying now? No comment:
After bragging today about his role in shaping the economic bailout package, Sen. John McCain has made no statement to the press since the defeat of the bill, in part at the hands of House Republicans.
FAIL

ST. PAUL — A series of disclosures about Gov. Sarah Palin, Senator John McCain’s choice as running mate, called into question on Monday how thoroughly Mr. McCain had examined her background before putting her on the Republican presidential ticket…
…Aides to Mr. McCain said they had a team on the ground in Alaska now to look more thoroughly into Ms. Palin’s background. A Republican with ties to the campaign said the team assigned to vet Ms. Palin in Alaska had not arrived there until Thursday, a day before Mr. McCain stunned the political world with his vice-presidential choice. The campaign was still calling Republican operatives as late as Sunday night asking them to go to Alaska to deal with the unexpected candidacy of Ms. Palin…
…At the least, Republicans close to the campaign said it was increasingly apparent that Ms. Palin had been selected as Mr. McCain’s running mate with more haste than McCain advisers initially described…
…“They didn’t speak to anyone in the Legislature, they didn’t speak to anyone in the business community,†said Lyda Green, the State Senate president, who lives in Wasilla, where Ms. Palin served as mayor.
Representative Gail Phillips, a Republican and former speaker of the State House, said the widespread surprise in Alaska when Ms. Palin was named to the ticket made her wonder how intensively the McCain campaign had vetted her….
