Donald Trump's abortion position, Version 3.0/Faces #1381
By Jack Brummet, GOP-Tea Party Ed.
Donald Trump has again revised his position on abortion punishment again. He's up to version 3.0.
Earlier this week, in a town hall, he told Chris Matthews there should be "some form of punishment" for women who get abortions if the procedure is outlawed. He backed off that remark after a savage reaction from people across the political spectrum. It's a little hard to tell who he angered the most--the Democrats or Republicans. Then, the next day, he said the doctors should be punished.
On this weekend's Face The Nation, Mr. Trump says (in an excerpt broadcast Friday on CBS Evening News,) "The laws are set. And I think we have to leave it that way." In other words, he says "never mind," and takes the liberal/Demo position. There seems to be no reaction from the GOP-Tea Party so far. . .

JebBush.com redirects to Donald Trump's official website
By Mona Goldwater, Errors & Omissions Ed.
At some point along the road to the White House, Jeb Bush's team forgot to renew the domain jebbush.com. While their official site is JebBush2016.com, clicking on jebbush.com now takes you to Donald Trump's page. . .which Trump recently and gleefully announced. This typifies the sad arc and ending of a bumbling campaign.

George F. Will wrote in August "Republican field is the most impressive since 1980"
By Jack Brummet, National Affairs Ed.
George F. Will wrote last August that, “This year’s Republican field is the most impressive since 1980, and perhaps the most talent-rich since the party first had a presidential nominee, in 1856."

R.I.P.: The political death of ex-Mayor Rudy Giuliani
By Pablo Fanque, National Affairs Ed.
I am guessing, and fervently hope, that Ex-Mayor Rudy Giuliani's recent attack on The Presidents has finally closed the door on his already massively diminished credibility.
Hizzoner's pronouncements on The President this week leave no doubt that he has succumbed to full on dementia and finally driven away whatever sparse pockets of support that remained.

Republicans now admit there was, and is, no "Benghazi Scandal."
By Pablo Fanque, National Affairs Ed.
The Republican dominated investigating committee, with far less fanfare and publicity than the previous attacks on the Obama Administration over the Benghazi attacks, has decided "never mind."
"Intelligence and military officials responded appropriately during the terrorist attacks on the U.S. diplomatic compound in Benghazi, Libya, a House committee concluded in a report released Friday evening.
"The report by the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence also found no cover-ups and no deliberate misconduct by Obama administration officials following the Sept. 11, 2012, attacks.
"Nor were there intelligence failures before the attacks on the State Department’s temporary mission in Benghazi and the nearby CIA annex, the previously secret 36-page investigative report says."

Jeb Bush may have just cashed his check
By Pablo Fanque, National Affairs Ed.
Ex-Governor Jeb Bush has become so unpopular with conservatives that he is no longer considered a viable 2016 Presidential candidate. Marco Rubio is pulling far ahead of his former mentor and seems to be the front runner for 2016.
At the Faith and Freedom Coalition conference in Washington, D.C. this morning, Mr. Bush urged social conservatives in the audience to support comprehensive immigration reform because, “Immigrants are more fertile, and they love families, and they have more intact families, and they bring a younger population.” Without immigrants, he said, the country’s population will decline and the economy will suffer.“Immigrants create far more businesses than native-born Americans,” Bush told the gathering. "Immigrants create an engine of economic prosperity.”

"Immigrants create an engine of economic prosperity.”
The comments immediately rocketed throughout the web, drawing massive blowback fire from Republican leaders.
As Alex Seitz-Wald wrote in Salon this afternoon, "If you're already inclined to distrust Bush, and you’re already worried about immigrants taking over the country and displacing the native native-born Americans, then Bush is basically confirming all your worst fears by telling you that he thinks immigrants are better than you: They’re better at business, they’re better a having families, they’re more valuable to the economy — they’re even younger."
The most baffling part of all this is why a fairly astute politician like Jeb Bush thought this would fly. He was already being relentlessly hammered on several fronts for his stand on immigration reform. It will be interesting to see how, and if, he can dig himself out of this new hole.

End times edge closer: the Tea Party's Michele Bachmann forms "exploratory committee"
By Pablo Fanque
National Affairs Editor
Illustration by Jack Brummet
Representative Michele Bachmann, is currently spending a week tromping around Iowa, which will hold the first caucuses of the 2012 Presidential race. Her team just leaked to CNN that said Bachmann will form an exploratory committee in June. She also named an Iowa state senator-- Kent Sorenson--as her political director in the early caucus state.
She recently told ABC's Jonathan Karl that "I'm in for 2012 in that I want to be a part of the conversation in making sure that President Obama only serves one term, not two, because I want to make sure that we get someone who's going to be making the country work again. That's what I'm in for. But I haven't made a decision yet to announce, obviously, if I'm a candidate or not..."

The Best Obama Speech Yet
By Pablo Fanque
All This Is That National Affairs Editor
I liked BHO's speech last night; it was his best speech yet, because it was the hardest. I liked the plaintive (as opposed to soaring) tone, liked that he hit at what he inherited, ripped into the GOP leadership, as well as the Democrats and the bi-party electioneering/posing and factionalism. Change 2.0. We could still get it right.
From another President's state of the union:
"Shit. I know shit's bad right now, with all that starving bullshit, and the dust storms, and we are... running out of french fries and burrito coverings. But I got a solution."
- President Dwayne Elizondo Mountain Dew Herbert Camacho, in Idiocracy
