Late Nite FDL: Name Norah O'Donnell Semi-Final



Remind me that there's no such thing as an easy post. Okay we have the nominees in the Name Norah O'Donnell Contest, and we are going to narrow it down to the top 5 vote getters and have a run-off tomorrow night (with the normal caveat of "if the news cycle cooperates"). Although I bow to no one in my appreciation of the vulgar (actually that's probably not true but I like to think so) I took the liberty of trimming out some of the more coarse references, I do have a few principles left.

The winner will receive a copy of Kos's new book. Please vote only once because I hate it when I have to take my shoes off to count.

It's looking like tomorrow's heavyweight bout is going to involve Glenn Greenwald, competing in the flyweight division:
Tomorrow at 2:10 p.m. EST, I'll be on NPR's To the Point to discuss the NSA hearings with Powerline's John Hinderaker. John is confused that there are any hearings at all, because there is nothing to discuss; it's so clear that the President had the right to eavesdrop outside of FISA that there's no issue at all. I'm looking forward to that discussion.
And Kos has this bit from Ann Richards' former campaign manager about Ciro Rodriguez' opponent, Henry Cuellar:
Cuellar, like Sanchez from Laredo, was an Hispanic-surnamed opportunist who readily agreed to work over Sanchez behind the scenes. And he did. Cuellar had been elected some years earlier as Democrat to the state House. He began his twisted, self-loathing, race-baiting among his former House colleagues. Cherub-faced, Cuellar played the innocent. He himself leaked a story that Sanchez had a private eye investigating rumors about his sexual preference.
This is the kind of guy the GOP is recruiting to run in Democrat-owned districts to further weaken the Dems. He represents everything that's wrong with the party and then some.

I got a nice note from Ciro's campaign thanking us for all the money we've raised, now close to $8,000. Atrios has raised $16,460 and the group page is up to $32,815. The primary is going to be in early March so if you like the idea of unseating a DINO and replacing him with a true progressive, you can donate here.

And special thanks to everyone who has already contributed. To you the doggies say "namaste."
