    With Saturday Victories, Romney Retakes Control of the GOP Narrative

    Mitt Romney, the perpetually questioned front-runner for the Republican presidential nomination, had a rough week. Three embarrassing losses to Rick Santorum in Tuesday’s non-binding contests led to questions about Romney’s conservative bona fides just in time for GOP activists, gathering at their annual Conservative Political Action Conference in Washington, to collectively grumble about it. But in two narrow, largely symbolic victories on Saturday, Romney reclaimed the headlines. Never mind the details. He was winning again.

    Jane Hamsher is having major problems with Diana Fienstein.

    No Prying Eyes: My Visit to DiFi’s

    This is all about NO PRYING EYES, it’s not about Jane Hamsher vs. Dianne Feinstein–that’s bullshit, it’s about transparency. It’s about Ms. Feinstein’s untenable position on the public option, which 76% of the American people support and she doesn’t; it’s about her indefensible position on the most important legislation of our life. And most egregious, it’s about the culture of Washington D.C., it’s not just your garden variety bubble, it’s a closed society, and they don’t want No Prying Eyes.

    In this closed world, there’s an illusion of transparency–but it’s basically a mirage. Legislation gets posted, for example, but the deals get made behind doors made of steel and cement. I don’t have to tell you that the traditional media rarely if ever ask the relevant questions, rarely if ever put the politicians feet to the fire, because to do so, means loss of access.

    Isn’t Congress already really like this?
    Or just the music is missing? If they only played background tunes like at a shopping mall (Bachmann Turn Her Overdrive?) ….

    Simone Bolivar has liberated your comment, Gunny. But let’s work on that pottymouth.

    Except, of course, in this instance:

    I’ve followed the auto-tune series from #2. It’s one of the the freshest things to come to YouTube.

    Wiki says Jane Hamsher is a contributor to political blogs, so I guess that makes all of us commenters members of the media too. Guess we won’t be getting in to see DiFi anytime soon.

    Yes, the auto-tune series is incredible. I can’t stop listening to it. (Really. Someone help me.)
