Hey, really, ladies, Stupak is just no biggie.

It's horse-trading. It's politics. You know how politics is. You gotta be hard-headed, not pie-in-the-sky.

Politics is you sometimes hafta do stuff you know you really shouldn't be doing, throwing a bone here and there. It's just the way things work.

Periodically, you have to throw people under buses. Like now, throwing people under the Stupak bus. Because there's a whole lotta pressure going on. We need the support of these bishops, see, and these Con-Dems, in order to do other things that we really want to do. And, you know, you have to not get all emotional when we throw the civil rights of half the population under the bus.

ZARQAWI SACKED FOR "MISTAKES"

"Iraq's resistance has replaced Abu Musab al-Zarqawi as political head of the rebels, the son of Osama bin Laden's mentor has said in Jordan. . . .

'Zarqawi's role has been limited to military action. Zarqawi bowed to the orders two weeks ago and was replaced by Iraqi national Abdullah bin Rashed al-Baghdadi.'"

Isn't it inspiring to know that some incompetent people actually get fired for having been incompetent?
