Tennessee Governor on Obama response to flood: I've “never seen this kind of response.”

By GottaLaff

President Obama is weak. President Obama is a terrorist. President Obama is a Muslim Marxist Kenyan. President Obama is clearly in over his head. President Obama isn't one of us. President Obama will not get health care passed. President Obama is ruining the country. It's President Obama's economy.

President Obama is slow to respond to disasters.

Wrong. Wrongwrongwrong, on all counts. Well, he is the president, that part is true. As for that snail's pace thing? Phil Bredesen, the governor of Tennessee, where all that horrific flooding is, would disagree:

“FEMA and the White House have been absolutely supportive,” he told reporters on a conference call.

Ding!

FEMA was quickly on the ground, and on Monday, “the president was on the phone with me before the sun came up,” he said.

Clang!

Bredesen, who has weathered his share of tornados and storms as a public official, said that he’s “never seen this kind of response.”

Ah-OOO-gah!

Dear Obama haters:

Please STFU.

Love, Laffy.

Harry Reid, Dick Durbin comment on Obama health care speech: Liveblog

By GottaLaff

Harry Reid is speaking right now on MSNBC:

We have to rein in health care costs.

We'll continue work to finish last 20% of proposal. Schedule has been set.

Dick Durbin:

Before the speech, there were questions about Obama: Will he be specific? He was.

[Durbin is reiterating Obama's points] Second, is he committed? He called for the giant session of Congress, so yes.

Third: Bipartisan? He said he was. For those with good ideas, his door is open.

I hope some who watched or were there--

WTF?

Thank you MSNBC, for cutting it off right in the middle of that sentence. Thank you, CNN, for ignoring them, too.

Way to report news. Now back to the infotainment already in progress.

Shallow Thoughts: Bobby Jindal edition

By GottaLaff

Todays Shallow Thought:

How does one respond to a speech that has yet to be delivered? The Republican National Committee has started putting out excerpts from Gov. Bobby Jindal’s (R-La.) response to the as-yet-undelivered prime time speech by President Obama.

That was today's Shallow Thought. Thank you for wading in.

You can read Jindal's ramblings here.
