Examiner Editorial:
D.C. Mayor Adrian Fenty apparently believes being his wife’s best buddy would make somebody a dandy utilities regulator. The Examiner demures. Actually, we LOL.
Quin Hillyer:
At the outset of his first term in the White House, President Bush re-nominated a highly qualified Clinton judicial nominee the GOP-led Senate had not confirmed. Will President-elect Barack Obama do the same for a superb Bush nominee?
The Daily Outrage:
Senators Byron Dorgan and Kent Conrad of North Dakota want to spent more than a quarter of a million of your federal tax dollars for a peace garden shared with Canada. We are not making this up.
Dim Bulb:
Former Illinois GOP congressman Ray LaHood was a master at pork barrel politics, even though it undermined his party’s public image and cost it a congressional majority. Now he gets to play in the earmark sandbox at the Treasury Department, courtesy of Barack Obama.
Examiner OpEd:
Lt. Gen. Josiah Bunting of the Inter-Collegiate Studies Institute says a new survey reveals that too many Americans are abyssmally ignorant of their country’s history and principles.
