A departing governor about to enter the political wilderness / looking for a job with the administration soon supports the tax-cut compromise? GAME, SET, AND MATCH. This is incredible news. Democrats in Congress are peeing themselves because they are powerless to stop the overwhelming legislative might of Michigan Governor Jennifer Granholm. Peeing blood, that is. [Twitter]

A lame duck governor who only has 34% approval from an economically decimated state? The only thing that could make this more toothless is if she was born in another country.
This is good news for… oh, fuck it.
. . . everyone wealthy. About damned time we ended the democratic experiment and returned to the a proper caste system.
Titles damn it – those rich people deserve titles. How else can we know who to bow to the lowest?
Exactly — That Robber-Baron thing worked out great at the beginning of the last century.
It does feel a bit cyclical, no? Early 1900s – corporations screw over the little guy. 1940s – new protections for the little guy. 1970s – newer protections for little guy. 2000 – corporations screw over the little guy.
Granholm just gave Obamar the political equivalent of a rusty trombone.
So Jennifer Granholm is a Republican now too? Shit they are all jumping ship, first Barry and now her.
Jennifer who?
Like all governors, she's in that high income percentile. Sorry, losers.
Meh. Gibbs could go as well. He's kind of a jerk.
By the middle of her second term Granholm was as popular in Michigan as a plant closing notice from GM.
How long must we wait for a tweet on Rod Blagojevich's position on the tax-cut "compromise"
Nice, all this YES WE CAN I can believe in is happening so quickly!
now that we're all enraged about barry, can we get rid of that stupid 'bristol palin in a russian hat' picture?
Meh — she's kind of hot, but she's also educated and didn't even have the courtesy to quit mid-term. She may not even be a member of the NRA. NO credibility.
I lived in Battle Creek Michigan for a few years. It's a good place to move away from. I still hate the state. Screw her and not in the nice way.
Republican says what?
Glad you're gone. Anyone that doesn't know how to spell Battle Creek doesn't mean shit, anyway.
Just what we need, more advice from an ex-gov, (luv…the…guv), on Twitler nonetheless.
When's her fucking book tour?… at a Costco near you.
I'm just waiting to hear what Saul Alinsky says about the deal.
What about Ann Richards?…. oops, sorry.
Governor Granholm? Yup, I'd hit that.
If I only had a Hundred Dollars.
If only someone would drop a *real* bomb on twitter…
Or keep those dead celebrities – who died for AIDS – dead.
Ah, hell, just bomb the whole thing.
We made so much money on the bailouts, we can afford to give everyone a tax cut.
True story. I met a woman from China who was working in U.S.A. She said America had so many complicated taxes, while China had no taxes. How do they pay for roads and military and stuff? I foolishly asked. Because the government owns everything so when you make a phone call or turn on the lights…. Communism has a 0% flat tax. Beat that Dick Armey.
Plus if they execute ya, they send your family a bill for the bullet. Sherriff Arpaio is very interested in this program, as soon as Pima County gets the death penalty.
saw her piggy back off Obama at the U of M graduation last spring. if this is the favor BO is calling in, I think he should've aimed higher. no one likes her. less popular than the lions.
Roll back all the fucking taxes to their Clinton era levels. We simply cannot afford them.
This only hurts because it is true.
Fukking Canadian.
Yawn. Call me when Robert Gibbs actually drops a deuce on Twitter.
When that twitpic hits, I officially blame you.
Oh, and meanwhile, here's Fox's spin on Obama giving Republicans basically everything they ever asked for. Hahahahahahahamineisabitterlaugh.
Although, they do raise a very good question here: why did Obama let the terrorists (i.e, Republicans) win?
More good news, Jim Traficant is OK with the tax cuts too.
Did anyone call California to see what Ahnold thought? If you're jonesing for the opinions of washed up, powerless lame ducks you may as well get the granddaddy of them all.
They tried, but it was misspelled as Kahleefournya in the white pages.
If we don't cut the taxes on the wealthy, how will Welsey Snipes continue to create jobs?
Or avoid paying more taxes?
I love you, Jenny. You've served well given some of the worst external circumstances of any governor in the country, but this is not the way I wanted to see you go out, you know, sucking Obama-dick and all. I know you guys have always been unusually friendly to one another, and I know we have a few hundred thousand unemployed, here, but this is even creepy by your standards.
Canada, just annex us, already. Us Michiganders deserve that.
Jennifer Granholm: I'd hit it.
That is all.
