A "tweet" from Stu, producer of the Glenn Beck show...

@STU_GBP  STU BURGUIERE
I love the left's talking point battle between "S&P is crazy! Made huge error" and "this is Tea Party downgrade!" Can't be both.

R.S. McCain said, if you had bought gold the first day A.Weiner criticized Glenn Beck for hawking gold you would be up 42%.

Re: Left meme on S&P, the meme is all that matters, pesky little things like truth, consistency, logic...those things are for losers!

As for F/F, they should all be rated T for Toxic (or Turd)...

And since the stock market is going down fast enough and there is still more room for further credit rating downgrades...BO is getting ready to make a statement in a few minutes.

And in news you won't see the MFM cover:

Ohio's credit rating gets upgraded by the S&P.

How do you suppose that happened?

And where is Bachmann in all of this?

Positioned to give primary voters a real choice.

One thing you won't be able to say this go round is that all of the choices during the Republican primary suck. Last time we had a truly sucky field (don't even pretend that Thompson was ever viable the way he behaved) but this time it is going to be different. This time it's the Democrats who have the truly sucky field, a field of one.

And it appears that more than one will make it to the front row.

The Rick "I'm going to announce any minute now" Perry thing is getting a wee bit tiresome, though.

Thompson played that game and it turned out to be quite anti-climactic...the whole reluctant candidate thing.

A lot of people are getting antsy.  Maybe a traditional Labor Day announcement.

Obamakov's blather was tiresome, predictable, sickening and pathetic...in short, typical.

http://hosted.ap.org/dynamic/stories/U/US_OBAMA?SITE=AP&SECTION=HOME&TEMPLATE=DEFAULT&CTIME=2011-08-08-14-08-19

Not even AP, normally reliably stupid, is stupid enough to parrot Obammy's stupid line about Buffett!

According to Duh Wun, the downgrade is NOT because it is doubted whether we can pay our bills -- NO!! -- it's because of our "politics".  Oh, and the world still considers us as having a AAA rating.

He's .... unreal.

Rick Perry intends to use a speech in South Carolina Saturday to make clear that he's running for president, POLITICO has learned.

According to two sources familiar with the plan, the Texas governor will remove any doubt about his White House intentions during his appearance at a RedState conference in Charleston.

The S&P needs a kick in the ass as well.  They graded all those subprime mortgages as AAA, I was reminded today.

Judge Napolitano is saying the govt. had been negotiating w/ S&P and the rest and they lost the negotiations with S&P and they are pitssed.  The govt is still in negotiations w/the rest.
