LatoyaPeterson - So, do I need to call an ambulance for you, or what?

8:46

Megan - This Crappy Hour will indeed be crappy, as it's coming to you live from the depths of my bed where I lie currently with a massive migraine.

8:46

LatoyaPeterson - Aww, dude. You are such a soldier. I would have called in sick.

8:48

LatoyaPeterson - And perhaps you should have...did you see the headlines this morning? Depress-o-rama.

8:48

Megan - I called in sick to this one time, when I had a nasty stomach virus and spent 4 or 5 hours prior to it vomiting. But let's not talk about that, as it remains a possibility this morning. The news is a good distraction.

8:49

LatoyaPeterson - I suppose, if you like things shrouded in death.

8:49

LatoyaPeterson - Want to start with death of the economy, death of the GOP, or war related death?

8:50

Megan - When I have a migraine, misery loves company. So, the end of the GOP sounds good to me.

8:51

LatoyaPeterson - Sadly, the GOP has lost the Jews.

8:52

LatoyaPeterson -
Ira Forman, CEO of the National Jewish Democratic Council, said the sharp drop in the number of Jewish Republicans in Congress paralleled the party's shift to the right. "It's a reflection of where the Republican Party has gone," he said. "It's left the Jewish community pretty cold."

8:52

Megan - Well, once they lost Hispanics, women and African Americans, Jews were the next logical choice to chase off.

8:53

LatoyaPeterson - Once again, the "let's just tolerate the racists" strategy is an epic fail.

8:53

LatoyaPeterson - But even the highs weren't that high:

Republicans have had at least one Jewish senator since New York's Jacob Javits took office in 1957, reaching a peak of three during the mid-1980s.

8:54

LatoyaPeterson - Now, we are talking senators here, but still...

8:55

Megan - Oooh, 3 whole Jews! I mean, with JC Watts, they even had an African-American Senator that time.

8:56

LatoyaPeterson - The GOP is also eating their own. Apparently there is a memo linking Bush and Obama.

8:56

LatoyaPeterson - The common link? They're trying to blame them both for the economy.

8:58

Megan - Do you think Dick Cheney will do a round of interviews in defense of his legacy slamming them over that? Because I'd get out of bed to watch that shit, for real.

8:59

LatoyaPeterson - LOL - maybe he and roly-poly Rove will do a tag-team C-Span event/cage match.

9:02

Megan - Rove will next call the rest of the GOP "ingrates" as he did the new Administration on Twitter, and it'll be on. I mean, of course Obama's not exactly grateful at the mess he inherited!
