Weekly Wrap-Up

So who’s had a good week?

Not Harold Ford Jr. His campaign against Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand is not off to a good start. Actually, his interview with The New York Times might be considered a good end to his brief campaign, as it is frequently hilarious – whether he’s assuring us he does not shoot children, or talking about his helicopter visit to Staten Island.

The full interview is here – or, if you like, here is a pretty fair overview of the debacle.

According to The Heritage Foundation, this has been a good week for Big Labor.

Sen. Harry Reid had a surprisingly good week. His bizarre racial comments about then-candidate Barack Obama would have been enough to get a conservative Capitol Hill intern fired – but because Reid is a liberal Democrat he's getting a free ride from the media.

As far as Washington is concerned, Harry Reid can do or say whatever he wants, with no consequences or accountability. But will Nevada’s voters give him a pass? Maybe not.

It’s been a bad week for Gov. David Paterson – but hey, what else is new? The Paterson Problem of the Week is underwhelming fundraising numbers to go with his tepid approval ratings.

It was a good week for Sarah Palin, who we learned is the newest Fox News contributor – which makes this a bad week for the liberals who have let themselves be driven crazy by this smart, independent conservative woman. Or maybe it was a good week for the anti-Palin crowd? You get the feeling they like hating conservatives.

Washington, DC is ending the week on a sour note.

According to this report, “The Obama administration is considering a criminal trial in Washington for the Guantanamo Bay detainee suspected of masterminding the bombing of a Bali nightclub that killed 202 people, a plan that would bring one of the world's most notorious terrorism suspects just steps from the U.S. Capitol.”
