Give torture a hand!
>> ALL OVAL, ALL THE TIME: Obama says he “screwed up” on Daschle’s nomination. Finally, a president who can admit mistakes. Speaking of, Cheney continues to champion Bush’s mistakes. And Obama administration plans to cap future bailed-out executives’ pay at mere pennies — half a million dollars.
>> GAWKER EXPLAINS IT ALL: The filibuster — as it relates to our dying economy.
>> Sadly, you might not be able to get your regular fix of celebrity gossip and Bigfoot sightings from Wal-Mart in coming weeks. The magazine wholesale war has hit the homefront and it ain’t pretty.
>> YOUR TAX DOLLARS AT WORK: Another fine job done by the New York City police, using informants and undercover operations to catch dangerous criminals! Or just an artist with a political bent that pisses off ad companies…
>> As if LiveNation hadn’t already cornered an unfair share of the market, now they’re looking to merge with Ticketmaster. Isn’t this illegal or something?
>> Going once, going twice — extremely overpriced Atlantic Station condos at the price they should’ve originally been listed!
>> OMG: “The City” meets Obama and politics in “The District.” Best. Idea. Ever.

Obama will be saying “I screwed up” again if they cap executive compensation at $ 500k.
I know that sounds like a lot of money, but good luck finding someone who can run a huge company at that salary.

Tara-Lynne – C’mon, I found those in 5 seconds. You’re the reason no one trusts the media, and you illustrate the delusions liberals live under.

She means admitting mistakes the entire time you are President.
For all his “incompetence” I don’t remember Bush appointing tax cheats to head the IRS and having such a weak vetting process for cabinet appointments. I remember a few (Kimba Wood is one) who had nanny problems, but not owing over $ 100k in taxes on income they hid from the IRS.
Obama has also appointed over a dozen lobbyists to key positions, despite saying that lobbyists have no place in his administration.
