Blog Scoop: House Coup?

Anklebiting Pundits says that Rep. Tom Reynolds is talking mutiny on the S.S. Hastert.

Beset by one of the worst bouts of insomnia I've ever had last night, I tried watching the oft-watched Crimson Tide to put me to sleep. It didn't work. Watched the whole thing. Should have tried the boring movie that put me out light a baby last week-- Ocean's Twelve. It's cinematic Nyquil.

But I'm in an X.O. Hunter kind of mood.

Remember, guys: Weps is the key. You can't do this without Weps.

Is this good? Bad? Hastert is practically invisible, but Gingrich was a household name. Which is better? Who knows?

I'd simply like a few balls on the Republican side. Barring that, I'd like to see more Vikings.

Ya know Ace, if you were having trouble sleeping, you could have always tried *blogging* last night. Hell, I can pretty much guarantee that would have put *us* to sleep.

As for Crimson Tide, great movie, but I always thought that the ending failed. It would have been MUCH better had they had to launch the missiles, or even had their failure to launch missiles resulted in a nuked America. Instead of that mindfuck ending, they went "safe," and a great movie was kept from being a perfect film.

Well, as perfect a film can be without zombies, shape-shifting aliens in the Antarctic, or Kim Richards.

Cheers,

While watching Poseidon Adventure - Gene Hackman's other We're Underwater and I'm in Charge movie, I was struck by the lengths the director went to have the wet, hot pants clad legs of either Pamela Sue Martin or Stella Stevens in the shot ... every shot.

A dead Shelly Winters and Stella's Gams ...

Ernst Borgnine's t-shirted manliness in the foreground and Pamela Sue's lower extremities in deep focus over his shoulder.

After a while you start to notice.

But, David's right - Crimson Tide would have benefitted from Nuclear Holocaust ... or some old fashioned 'Bedford Incident' type of interaction.

The Reynolds piece was cross-posted at Redstate (who won't let you link to a specific story, infidel dogs that they are) at 7:24:33 this morning. The commenters there gave some convincing evidence that Reynolds was a pretty typical Republican congresscritter--not too interested in reining in spending or trimming federal programs.

It's hard to see why conservatives should get excited over this. Hastert and Frist have all the backbone of a couple of Twizzlers, but it doesn't sound like this Reynolds character would be much of an improvement.

So true Ace.

"Ocean's Twelve" knocked me out on a recent trans-atlantic flight within twelve minutes.

Felt great when I landed.

The plot of Oceans 13 is a bunch of Hollywood big-time stars led by George Clooney, Julia Roberts, and Brad Pitt have to pool their remaining earnings to buy up every piece of evidence that Oceans 12 ever existed and destroy it.

Boring movies keep me up. Good movies put me to sleep immediately. I assume it is because they relax me as opposed to a boring movie which will make me anxious.

The old classic Hannah-Barbera cartoons put me right to sleep. All I need to do is raise the thermostat, throw in a video of Atom Ant, Flintstones, Jetson's, or Wally Gator, and I'm out like a light.

Baby, I never sleep either. Feel free to hit me on the iChat/AOL thingy [frw696969] or whatever if you're awake. I'll 'entertain' you until you beg me to let you go to sleep.

It's nice to see devotion to one's craft in today's slap-dash world.

Remember, Hastert was picked because he was a nonentity. We'd just lost 2(?) speakers to scandal (weak memory: was it Newt, followed by Livingstone...or was there another in there?), so they singled out the Pillsbury Dough Boy precisely because they didn't think he'd ever done anything interesting in his whole bloody life.

However, I don't like the sound of this coup. It's expressed as time to "move beyond Delay." Uh oh. Delay sounds like a pretty unappealing character to me, but then, the media is going to lean hard on any Republican who has the semblance of a spine. More spines, please.

Crockett addressed the possibility in an Instagram post where she said she would make a decision "depending on how many people reach out," but that her main focus has been legislating in the House of Representatives.
The post came after a poll from the National Republican Senatorial Committee was published showing that she was leading the pack of candidates with 35 percent in a hypothetical primary and was leading former Senate candidate Colin Allred, who was at 20 percent, per the Latin Times.

The Republican Senatorial Committee claims that she's ahead? LOL, that might be a little troll-poll.
