Over at SLOG, one of the writers has a lawyer friend who enjoys perusing written law, so he went over the executive orders signed by the new President yesterday. He has this to say about what he found in the order titled, “Ethical Commitments by Executive Branch Personnel.”
Lest anyone be inclined to dismiss the sentiment our unnamed lawyer expresses at the end, one should be reminded that this is in response to a written and signed executive order, that is, a law.
HT to SLOG.
…from that liberal rag the NYT:
http://www.nytimes.com/2009/01…
By all accounts, Patterson was on the verge of picking her. The explanation of Ted Kennedy’s illness as her reason for not taking the seat was quite weird, and I don’t think it’s the real reason.
If there’s dirt there, I’m sure someone will find it. I just have no idea why someone who campaigned so hard for something as important as a Senate seat would withdraw unexpectedly, citing only “personal reasons”.
http://wonkette.com/405681/car…
Of course, the NY Post was the paper reporting that it was going to be Caroline the other day.
From the New York Times:
So her withdrawal wasn’t a DeGette-ian “I have no chance” ass covering.
http://www.nytimes.com/2009/01…
…and I heard another rumor that Patterson will pick some random congresswoman from upstate.
wha???

countdown to another Sirota diatribe in 3…2…1…
and what’s going to piss off the kossacks more…that she’s a DINO or an aristocrat? DINO, ARISTOCRAT, AAAARRRGGGHHHH!!! 🙂
Wow, talk about thinking you don’t need to mingle with the “little people.”
why else would you jump to the weird conclusion that you’ve expressed? There could be all manner of reasons why their camps were speaking, rather than them personally. Including the possibility that the governor may have other shit to do and didn’t have time for all this drama.
This Sybil stuff is getting to me.
The worst part is that I can’t be absolutely sure I’m only one user. I think I might also be Another Skeptic.
..to fit into one user account. Unless of course you are me, or vice versa. I hadn’t considered that.
I’m a serial personality rather than a mass personality, and limited to what can be accomplished by anagrams. Be on the alert for posters named “Heaven Stervy,” “Artsy Heveve,” and “Hearts Veyve.”
I would hope that there was direct communication between the two principals. Especially since there was confusion about what message was supposed to be passed across.
…instead of wishing/wondering whether the two “principals” spoke directly, you immediately threw all the fault on Caroline and accused her of being a cross between Marie Antoinette and Leona Helmsley. SIROTA!
I was commenting that there was not a direct conversation between the two. I do think Kennedy should be the one calling the Governor as she is the one asking and he is the one choosing.
Carolyn has no creds for the office.
Paterson knew that, but wanted the Kennedy money and support.
Many New Yorkers were onto the game.
Paterson: “Please, Carolyn, withdraw your wish and I’ll make you ambassador to Alaska or something…..”
She avoids the harsh light, he moves on.
has an ambassador to Alaska? Who knew …
it was slow for a while.
I should have gone back to a post from 2008 to do this.
redstate the only tests I failed were http://www.liberaltest.com/ and http://www.okcupid.com/tests/t…
Worse testing failure occur daily at DPS. 50% of minorities don’t pass their 4th quarter year 4 HS tests at DPS. Hell they don’t even sit for then b/c they drop out. A focus on k-12 performance and reform … now that is something the Democrats really shine at.
“Three news agencies refused to distribute White House-provided photos of President Barack Obama in the Oval Office on Wednesday, arguing that access should have been provided to news photographers.
“The Associated Press, Reuters and Agence France-Presse said the White House was breaking with long-standing tradition in not allowing news photographers to capture the president at work in the Oval Office on his first day.”

Because, you know, they might have Photoshopped the President into the picture, faking that he was signing the Executive Order.
As the election results have fallen into place, as I’ve heard Obama’s speech, as I peruse the http://www.whitehouse.gove site, I am SO fucking impressed by this man. Reading his energy plan, his economic plan, what he has done in two days, I confess that neither Edwards nor Hillary would have been so bold nor so competent.
Sometimes it’s nice to be sort of wrong!
I hope he does not wear himself out!
