Yes, we’re grabbing for the same reference in two days, because really, we’re left with no other choice:

A blogger from liberal Web site The Daily Kos pierced through Boehner’s security detail at yesterday’s unveiling of his leadership policy “Pledge to America” to ask if he was sleeping with a lobbyist from the Printing Industries of America…

The lobbyist who was named in the confrontation… denied the accusations. “As you can imagine, I was stunned by such a question,” [Lisbeth] Lyons said. “I found it to be highly insulting, particularly as a female political professional, as well as unfounded. Beyond that, I have no further comment on the matter.”

We’re quoting Murdoch’s Post here, because we find it interesting that they’re trying to put out the fire before the Times lights it — if, by “put out the fire,” you mean print all the details first.

From 2003, Christine O’Donnell confesses to Eric Nies — yes, that Eric Nies, of, among other things, MTV’s Real World — that nobody will fuck her:

Well, Tucker Carlson was right — Colbert testified in character. And so did Elmo, for the record.

So have you seen Carly Fiorina’s latest ad attacking Barbara Boxer? If not, here it is:

And, here’s the transcript:

“Honey, don’t complain if he calls you ‘tootsie.’ Take it as a compliment: it means he likes the way you look. Also, understand that he’s a very important man with a very important job to do and a bunch of medals on his chest. What have you ever done that compares to that? Now be a dear, head on over to the break-room, and fix us another pot of coffee, will you? The guys in the office  finished the last one you made for them a whole half hour ago. Chop, chop!

I’m Carly Fiorina, I approved this message ’cause I haven’t got a clue.”

Barack Obama, Wednesday night:

“The single biggest threat to our success is not the other party,” the president said at the Roosevelt Hotel. “It’s us. It’s complacency. It’s apathy. It’s indifference. It’s people feeling like, well, we only got 80 percent of what we want, we didn’t get the other 20, so we’re just going to sit on our hands. We’re not going to go out there. It turns out bringing about change is hard. I thought it was going to be easy. I liked the cute poster of the Obama campaign. I enjoyed the inauguration. It was great when Beyonce and Bono was singing. I didn’t know that we were actually going to have to grind it out, that sometimes we’d have setbacks.”

Dear Mr. President,

We first became aware of your candidacy about three years ago, when you were a guest on the Daily Show. We were impressed: Impressed with your grasp of the issues, impressed with your seriousness, impressed with your lack of cant. You reminded us of what we like about Bill Clinton’s Daily Show appearances, when he’s in policy-wonk mode. We’re not a Bubba fan, but we really respect that about him.

Nor are we an in-the-trenches politico, so we pretty much ignored the race until the night of the Iowa caucus. That evening, two historic things happened:

You won.

And we gave money to a political campaign.

While historians inexplicably find the details of our life uninteresting, we can assure you that both developments were equally unlikely.

“An article on Wednesday about the quarrels among President Obama’s national security advisers described in a new book by Bob Woodward referred incompletely to Vice President Joseph R. Biden Jr.’s reported assessment of Richard C. Holbrooke, the president’s special representative for Afghanistan and Pakistan. While Mr. Biden is indeed quoted as calling Mr. Holbrooke ‘the most egotistical bastard I’ve ever met,’ he also is quoted saying that Mr. Holbrooke ‘may be the right guy for the job.'” [NYT]
