The Daily Open Thread #2 For 10/27/09: The TRONN And Miscellaneous Runthrough

Jon Stewart on the idiots, from McCain to Dreck Beck, upset about Net Neutrality:


As highlighted by clicking on the photo, Marcy Wheeler sees how the media let LIE-Berman's lies go unchallenged in their slack reporting, including even a real good site. But then there are others who def stepped up and thensome.

And you knew Media Matters was going to talk about that the minute Ms. Wheeler did.

They just get better and better at Hackio, don't they?

John Cole's views on the Connecticut attention whore:

BTW- I’m laughing at the Lieberman stuff. Will all the folks who spent the last few weeks trashing the WH for being insufficiently aggressive with the public option please write up your apologies long-form? I’ll check memeorandum for you later. Pretty clearly, the swarthy guy knew the whip count better than Harry Reid. Imagine that! Of course, by noting that Team Obama has more political awareness and skill than Senate Democrats just makes me an O-bot.

And Steve Benen's perspective on it all is, as always, so rational :

And fourth, pressuring Lieberman remains complicated. He's not up for re-election until 2012, and he can't face a primary since he's not a Democrat. Lieberman will face heat from progressive activists, but that's never seemed to bother him before. Will the caucus consider serious consequences for Lieberman's betrayal (i.e., loss of committee chairmanship)? Time will tell.

Additional Deliveries

Did this really need to be news? Our culture .

It is not that serious, at all!

Sandra Bullock in a custody battle with a porn star? Man, this is a weird day.

Tigers are declining in this world....shame.

And Tom Cruise may have the possibility of going to jail if he's in France next time.
