		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;P.S. -- I mentioned this months ago, but to no avail. Can&#039;t somebody inform your dumb spell check software that &quot;obama&quot; is a word?&lt;/blockquote&gt;Why not just upgrade to a browser that has it&#039;s own spell checker?</description>

Well, then, that would be a nonstandard understanding of the &quot;new boss/old boss&quot; analogy. Isn&#039;t the &quot;new boss&quot; supposed to be as bad as the &quot;old boss,&quot; no matter who that boss is? Is there stanza in the song exempting Republicans that I missed?  

But I suppose this kind of selective memory is hardly surprising coming from the Area 51 right. These are the same guys who think a few tax cheats are a clear sign of rampant criminality in the Obama Admin., but actual, bona fide, convictions of Republicans (e.g., Scooter Libby, Duke Cunningham) are examples of the rampant honor and integrity of Republicans.</description>

		<description>I took the &quot;old boss/new boss&quot; meme to mean Clinton/Obama.  After all, the same old names from the Clinton years keep popping up in the news.

P.S. -- I mentioned this months ago, but to no avail.  Can&#039;t somebody inform your dumb spell check software that &quot;obama&quot; is a word?</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;Meet the new boss, same as the old boss......&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Hello? What&#039;s this? Is this a tacit admission--finally--by the rightwing nutties that lurk on OTB that GWB was as, apparently, corrupt and criminal as Obama? I mean, if the new boss is the same as the old boss, and the new boss is corrupt... (Sorry, but I feel compelled to spell out the obvious analogy because the nutties will surely attempt to deny that it is, er, analagous.)</description>

		<description>&lt;em&gt;fact that Obama was &quot;absolutely&quot; standing by him yesterday&lt;/em&gt;

Isn&#039;t that always the kiss of death?

I&#039;d assumed Daschle would weather the storm, until I saw that Obama was absolutely standing by him.  I think that&#039;s D.C. code for &quot;withdraw your own ass so I don&#039;t have to pop a cap in it.&quot;</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;Yeah, but is Tommy still going to be in that White House (non-confimation) position, Hussein created?&lt;/blockquote&gt;Word is that he withdrew from that position too.  He&#039;s all out.</description>

		<description>&quot;The irony here is that he’s now out $120,000 in money he paid to the IRS that, rather clearly, the IRS wasn’t interested in collecting.   His contribution to the stimulus, I guess.&quot;

Between this and the fact that Obama was &quot;absolutely&quot; standing by him yesterday, I&#039;ve got a feeling that there&#039;s more here that hasn&#039;t come out yet.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;And, frankly, if you’re making so much money in the private sector (even its rent-seeking subsector) that you can get away with not paying six figures in taxes, why would you even consider giving it up to run a second-tier Cabinet department?&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Because visions of the fees his wife could make as a lobbyist once health care was nationalized danced through his head as he fell asleep each night?

Yeah, it&#039;s cynical, but he&#039;s earned the cynicism, don&#039;t you think?</description>
