GOP: Say anything (or at least something)

As NBC’s Michael O’Brien points out, it seems that some conservative voices – Peter Wehner, Ross Douthat, Matt Lewis, and National Review (to a point) – are beginning to take more vocal and dissenting stances toward the wisdom of the congressional GOP’s strategy on the debt ceiling.

National Journal looks at Marco Rubio’s positioning against President Obama on immigration.

Say what? Justice Clarence Thomas broke his seven-year silence on the Supreme Court yesterday. (He didn’t say much. The official transcript gives him just four words and it’s not a complete sentence.)

Ann Romney was approached by Dancing With the Stars but turned the show down.

CBS did a fawning story by Jan Crawford, Republican shill, on Clarence Thomas's comment, taking the view that other justices talk too much, interrupt lawyers, etc and Thomas is the soul of judicial restraint, who makes wonderful, inspiring speeches to students, etc. Ugh.
