Sunday Talking Heads: September 4, 2011
Well, enjoy your Republican talking points, it’s anti-Labor Day today.
Well, enjoy your Republican talking points, it’s anti-Labor Day today on the talking heads.
Here’s Teddy’s take:
Apparently, there is either no Labor movement whatsoever in South Carolina or whatever Labor movement there is in South Carolina decided it would be fine if their Senator, Jim Demint, stayed in DC for their festivities.
Also, a Kearns Goodwin legacy? Please.
And: has President McCain fallen ill? Or been moved to an undisclosed location? Kidnapped by Labor movement terrorists?
Finally: does Rick Perry give Chris Matthews that old thrill-up-my-leg feeling? And is that feeling mutual?
