Wednesday Morning Open Thread

The GOP scandals keep coming. Don't miss the latest with Arizona Congressman Rick Renzi who is under federal investigation for some questionable land deals.

I'm still steaming over the Limbaugh comments. I have a six-year old goddaughter who has been in treatment for leukemia for the past two and a half years. Fortunately, she's in remission. I want Michael J. Fox to "exploit" his illness if it generates the changes needed in America for stem cell research. Anyone who has watched a love one suffer -- especially a kid -- wants that, too. Well, I should say anyone with an ounce of humanity and compassion which rules out Rush and his ilk. Have the GOP candidates Rush was channeling -- Jim Talent in Missouri, Michael Steele in Maryland and Mark Green in Wisconsin -- said Rush is wrong, yet? The GOP lets Rush do their dirty work. But those three candidates have to own Rush's words on this one.

Okay, need coffee.

Start threading the news.
