Chickens for Check-Ups calls fowl on Chicken Sue (who, if you missed it, has backed off her inane, clucked-up bartering comments... sort of a poor man's Cash for Cluckers) with their first TV ad:

Sue Lowden finally chickens out: “Bartering Is Not A Policy”

By GottaLaff



Chicken Sue finally chickened out. Join me in the Chicken Dance to celebrate the end of her extended, and hilariously pathetic, clinging to the few feathers that remained of her health care barter system.

[T]he candidate has now taken to her blog to clarify once and for all that she is not advocating for a chickens-for-checkups health plan:

I can understand why Harry Reid and his Washington allies and Hollywood friends are creating political theater rather than solving real problems. Bargaining, bartering and negotiating for health coverage is not a policy — it is a fact. It is occurring today and has been since the founding of our nation. If you want to see my policy on health care reform, it has been on my web page since last year -– and it remains there to this day. Nowhere in my health reform proposal do I discuss bargaining, bartering or negotiating, rather I offer real solutions that work without creating a new, government-run entitlement program that Nevadans don’t want and they cannot afford.

And people say Joe Biden has gaffe-itis.

Dem whip challenges GOP to invite Obama to retreat

Mmmm, smells like triangulation.... Too bad they're such a bunch of well, you know.

Rep. James Clyburn (D-S.C.) is challenging House Republicans to invite President Obama to their annual winter retreat in Hot Springs, Va. next week.

During an interview on C-SPAN’s “Newsmakers” program that aired on Sunday, the majority whip noted that that House Democrats invited then President Bush to their retreat eight years ago.

Democrats reached out, invited [Bush] to our annual retreat, which he came to. We didn’t beat up on him at all. We laid out how we saw things,” Clyburn said. “And we, in large measure, went along with his program because that’s what the American people voted for. Now the tables are turned. Eight years later, people voted for us. I would love to see the Republicans to bring this president to their retreat.”

Matt Lloyd, a spokesman for the House Republican Conference, said, "We appreciate Mr. Clyburn's genuine concern for our retreat, President Obama will be speaking to the full House Republican Conference on Tuesday before we leave for the retreat." Obama and House Republicans will be discussing the economic stimulus package.
