Evan Bayh still sucks

Here at Rational Resistance we've had problems with Evan Bayh for years, titling our first post on the subject "Evan Bayh sucks".

In case you're wondering, it's still true.

Yes, he's now part of a new "Dream Team" you might say at the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, working with George Bush's boy Andy Card. As Ari Berman reports at The Notion, the group blog of The Nation,

Now he’s just a hired gun for big business. In a delicious bit of irony, Bayh will spend the summer denouncing the very financial reform legislation he voted for while in the Senate. Whatever principles he ever had are now long gone.

His mantra? Bipartisanship, or in other words, use a fake Democrat to get Democrats to start acting like Republicans.

So yup, in case you're wondering, Evan Bayh still sucks.

Random Thoughts

They might not each be worth their own diary, but I didn't want to ignore them.

1. One big difference between Obama and Bush:

Bush lies, Obama tells the truth. Say what you like about Obama's war plans (and most of us around here disagree with them), but at least Obama put the costs in the budget instead of trying to pretend they aren't part of the deficit.

2. More good news for Evan Bayh wannabe Harold Ford.

Picks up the coveted Karl Rove endorsement.

3. Economy drives booze sales downmarket.

According to one conoisseur, "we've switched from Bud Light to a lesser brand."

Rational Resistance wonders: Is that even possible?
