your standard flabbergasting day in American politics
-From Rep. Pete Hoekstra, R-MI: "Iranian twitter activity similar to what we did in House last year when Republicans were shut down in the House."
-From Roll Call: "House Republicans presented a four-page outline of their health care reform plan Wednesday but said they didn’t know yet how much it would cost, how they would pay for it and how many of the nearly 50 million Americans without insurance would be covered by it."
-Most amazing: a video of a Fire Letterman! protest by some people who are Very Offended by his joke about Palin's daughter. (Which, about that - it wasn't a terribly funny joke, and the kids should certainly be left out of this kind of thing. But the joke was clearly about Bristol, the kid who actually *was* pregnant, so the assertion that he had made a 'rape joke about a 14-year-old' is sheer insanity. But it's not even close to the most insane thing in this video.)
