Just finishing up on Syke's show was Rep. Ryan doing a fantastic Charlie Rangel impersonation. He was also extremely eloquent and down to earth when describing his Social Security plan. From what I have read and heard, his plan is easily the best. I got a chance to hear him speak in 2000 when he opened at the Bradley Center for then Governor Bush. He was inspiring and it was obvious he had a bright future in the party. If he can manage to get something done with this Social Security bill, or just be passionate and get some exposure, this man could have an impressive political career.
Second, Anne Coulter has a great article today. I am a little hot and cold with her, sometimes she crosses rhetorical lines and her point is lost in hyperbole. Her article today, however, manages to straddle that line without crossing it.
First, liberals claimed Gannon was a White House plant who received a press
pass so that he could ask softball questions a perk reserved for New York
Times reporters during the Clinton years. Their proof was that while "real"
journalists (like Jayson Blair) were being denied press passes, Gannon had one,
even though he writes for a website that no one has ever heard of but still
big enough to be a target of liberal hatred! (By the way, if writing for a news
organization with no viewers is grounds for being denied a press pass, why do
MSNBC reporters have them?)
