It's All the Republicans Fault (Those Wascaly Wepublicans)

Blame the Republicans: "[T]his does read to the public as though the Republicans went after [Tom Daschle], someone that the president very much wanted, and brought him down." --MSNBC's Andrea Mitchell

Those blasted Republicans again: "Not one Republican voted for
[the House stimulus package], turning a cold shoulder to the president's appeal
for bipartisan support." --ABC's Charlie Gibson

++ "Have the Republicans no shame? After swarming around President Obama like adolescent girls swooning over the Jonas brothers, getting their picture taken with him and accepting his invitation to a White House cocktail party, every Republican in the House still voted like Rush Limbaugh instructed them to -- registering a big fat 'no' on Obama's stimulus plan." --Newsweek's Eleanor Clift

"But don't you think that right now ... it behooves the
Republicans to be a little bit more in the middle? I mean ... their voices
aren't going to be heard anyway, as we saw with this economic stimulus plan. ...
So doesn't it behoove them to be more bipartisan and meet in the middle?"
--CBS's Maggie Rodriguez to Ann Coulter
