How the Mighty Have Fallen

I've been trying to hold off on the conservative bashing as much as I can. It seems a little gratuitous at this point. But then I see something like this from RedState (no link):

4. DNC Chair and Obama lose two council seats in their backyard
The media will ignore it, but they shouldn't.

Democrats lost two seats on the Alexandria, Virginia city council.

Boy, how long has it been since I've been able to report good news on an election night for Republicans? With results from 26 out of 26 precincts, and absentees included, Republican Frank Fannon and GOP-endorsed independent Alicia Hughes appear to have won seats on the Alexandria City Council. The Democrats will still control a majority of four out of six seats, but this is a couple rippes of red in a deep blue community in a purple state - the best news for local Republicans in a long time.

But the implications are bigger. Barack Obama won this county 72-27. Senater Mark Warner is from Alexandria. Democratic National Committee Chair Tim Kaine is the Governor of Virginia.

Barack Obama lost today. The Democratic National Committee lost today.

That's right, Alexandria city council. A massive loss for the Democratic National Committee (and the President). I guess the tide is turning. Palin '12! Whatever gets you through the night...

Red...Army...Fail

The header of the "Red State Morning Briefing" today:

Have you signed up to help Barack Obama fail?

Join the RedState Army of Activists and help make sure Obama fails.

Not "expose the weakness in his logic" or "here's the conservative alternative". Just "let's try to drag him down". Pretty much sums up the state of the endangered "American Conservative".

This is too easy

More RedState comedy. It's kind of hard to take anything you say seriously when you lead with crap like this:

3. The Verdict on President Obama's First Prime Time Presser: Pain.

What we saw tonight in President Obama was a man who, flailing about for words and faiing to form cohesive sentences and responses, turned in a stumbling, meandering performance worthy of the most extreme caricature of George W. Bush.

A sample:

...And Mr. Bush:

Jeez...

I'm going to have to have the willpower to not turn this blog into "RedState Morning Briefing stupidity of the day". Today's bulletin is priceless:

4. A Majority Party (and President) with a Minority Mindset
Barely two weeks into his first term in office, President Obama is sucking for air and grasping at straws to pull even the semblance of a single victory of any kind out of the rubble that is fast becoming his presidency.

"the rubble that is fast becoming his presidency"

Let's review (and see if we can find "even the semblance of a single victory"):

• Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act
  
• Executive Order to close Guantanamo Prison
  
• SCHIP expansion
  

This, while working the hill for the economic recovery plan.  Well, it has been 17 whole days.  What a disaster...
