Shuler: Pelosi, Reid Failed the Bipartisanship Test
9. February 2009
Shuler being Rep. Heath Shuler (D-NC), one of the 11 House Democrats to take a stand against the Pelosi-Reid-Obama Debt Act of 2009.

Heath Shuler (D-N.C) has further ingratiated himself with House Speaker Nancy [...]

Rahm Emanuel’s Apartment Problem
9. February 2009
Via Glenn Reynolds, there comes a point where one has to wonder if anyone in Barack Obama’s cabinet isn’t tainted.

Obama Signs Another Pro-Union Executive Order
7. February 2009
Hell, he has to pay them back somehow. I mean, without the support of the union bosses he might not be where he is today. What’s a little taxpayer money to union workers to pay them back?
