Late Late Night FDL: Absolution
Sue Foley — Absolution.

Early Morning Swim: Watch Claire McCaskill Beat the Crap out of Goldman Sachs CEO Lloyd Blankfein
Awesome. “”You all are the house, you’re the bookie,” she said. Clients “are booking their bets with you. I don’t know why we need to dress it up. It’s a bet.”
Sen. Claire McCaskill (D-Mo.) is pressing her betting-bookie analogy again, which she launched with two hours ago.
“You all are the house, you’re the bookie,” she said. Clients “are booking their bets with you. I don’t know why we need to dress it up. It’s a bet.”
McCaskill, who copped to betting on college sports, asked the Goldman execs: “What’s your vig?” In other words, what was Goldman’s fee for setting up these bets?
Marcy has more.
Don’t you dare intervene in my fit!
If Lindsey Graham has a fit, you must submit.
Well, Lindsey Graham recently demanded immigration reform be taken up ASAP. In fact he had a fit. Then eventually it looked like it might get taken up soon. So he had a fit.
Allegedly the fit was because immigration would come up before the climate change bill he was working on with John Kerry and Joe Lieberman (so you know that bill would be awesome, right?).
Well, we can’t have that. So eventually, the climate bill would come up before the immigration bill, just like President Tantrum wanted — though he said he wanted both bills. Well, apparently not.
Tonight, Graham told me that he will filibuster his own climate change bill, unless Reid drops all plans to turn to immigration this Congress.
I’m sensing a pattern.
Nice to know that Graham will undoubtedly be personally stroked and caressed on this Sunday’s chat shows as a “statesman” while Carl Levin gets the Marcy Wheeler treatment because of Sally Quinn’s virginal ear (the one on the left only).
