Rachel reports on the number of Senators who will not be attending the GOP Convention this year in order to distance themselves from Bush and McCain. Bob Herbert weighs in.

:rofl: On edit: Check the comments! Larry Craig has been called a Grand Old Pooper! :rofl: No pun intended.... :rofl:

1. Not good for the GOP if they're running from the top of the ticket.

[Mojambo]

2. Wouldn't Diaper Boy Vitter be the Grand Ole Pooper? n/t

[Wetzelbill]

5. I replied to your reply to the Vitor post

It's like we're leading secret lives now, lol. Double agents. That's a great group though.

And yes, Vitter would be.

3. Gordon Smith is running scared because Merkley is a great candidate

who has a good chance of beating Smith. Kind of fun to hear Rachel talk about someone here in Oregon! I think it is so funny that other repugs don't want to seem connected to the current administration or their candidate. The GOP's are probably going to have to pay someone to go to their convention!

4. Herbert should be on tv more often

He's great. And he give a little different view than the status quo sort of pundits from both parties who are usually on. He's really interesting to listen to, even if you don't totally buy what he's saying. Like he was great on Morning Joe last week.

6. Did Herbert say "Barack Obama" - - twice --

when he meant to say "John McCain?"

Sure seemed like it to me.
