Aaron Schock (R-IL) believes in government run health care. . .for himself!

The fine folks over at Think Progress caught up with Republican Congressman Aaron Schock of Illinois and asked him if he would drop his government sponsored health care despite the fact he will be voting to repeal health care reform for everyday working Americans. He declined.

So is Bristol Palin using Momma Grizzly's Facebook ghostwriters?

So evidently Bristol Palin is striking back at Keith Olbermann for naming her his "Worst Person in the World" earlier this week and she posted a response on her Facebook page:

Accusing me of hypocrisy is by now, an old canard. What Mr. Olbermann lacks in originality he makes up for with insincere incredulity. Mr. Olbermann fails to understand that in order to have credibility as a spokesperson, it sometimes takes a person who has made mistakes. Parents warn their children about the mistakes they made so they are not repeated. Former gang members travel to schools to educate teenagers about the risks of gang life. Recovered addicts lecture to others about the risks of alcohol and drug abuse. And yes, a teen mother talks about the benefits of preventing teen pregnancy.

Sorry, but I am not buying that Bristol is capable of composing a post with words such as "canard" or "incredulity." I will give credit, where I believe credit is due: Momma Grizzly's ghostwriters.

CapFax notices IL GOP now embrace "innocent until proven guilty" re: Skoien

The Capitol Fax Blog: The shoe’s now on the other foot *** UPDATED x1 ***

Friday, Mar 13, 2009

* When allegations of perjury surfaced against US Sen. Roland Burris, Republicans were quick to call for his resignation. Now that a powerful township GOP committeeman and former Cook County Republican Party Chairman has been accused of hosting a late night visit by two prostitutes in his children’s playroom, Republicans all of a sudden remember the innocent until proven guilty stuff…

“I hope he is willing to think long and hard about doing the right thing…” Isn’t that what Mayor Daley said about Burris?

Kinda funny that there’s no outraged rush to the cameras on this one. The Tribune editorial page, which has led the charge against Burris, has been mute. Kass hasn’t come up with any silly nicknames for Skoien like he did with Burris. And there’s been almost total radio silence at the conservative blogs.
