Cenk Uygur: "On the substance, Jane Hamsher and Grover Norquist are right." He illustrates why a left-right alliance is necessary to get the attention of the Obama Administration, and how this alliance affects Rahm Emanuel on a very personal level.

Finally, after years of obfuscation and euphemism by our Versailles Traditional Media, a great wall has been broken down. During a debate at MSNBC about whether the current Administration should uphold the Rule of Law and conduct investigations of Dick Cheney's secret-from-Congress intel programs, Marcy Wheeler (Emptywheel) provided the taboo word at the center of the Ken Starr investigation, by saying BLOWJOB on television.

The next time Marcy Wheeler scoops TradMed, as she did last weekend about KSM's 183 waterboardings, wouldn't it be cool to pipe up at the watercooler and say, "Yeah, that blogger works for me." Well, here's your big chance.

Tonight, on the eve of her primary challenge to Tennessee Congressman Steve Cohen, Nikki Tinker was named Countdown's Worst Person in the World for her anti-Semitic and inflammatory references to Congressman Cohen in "our churches clapping his hands and tapping his feet" and calling Congressman Cohen "the only Senator who thought our kids shouldn't be allowed to pray in school."

Keith mentioned her previous ads' attempt to link the incumbent to a leader of the Ku Klux Klan. He called her advertisement "shameful."

I wonder if Harold Ford, Jr, is proud of his protege' tonight?

Steve Cohen is a Blue America candidate.

Starting at 5pm eastern, I host Sunday's FireDogLake Book Salon with David Sirota, author of The Uprising: An Unauthorized Tour of the Populist Revolt Scaring Wall Street and Washington.

David Sirota's book opens at YearlyKos at the Riviera in Las Vegas and ends with his visit to Chicago for YK2.0. In between, he provides lots of remarkable observations about Americans' rage against wealthy, privileged Insiders and their access to the levers of power and control. I literally learned something new on every single page.
