POLITICO: House Leaders Squeeze Rangel.

PROF. JACOBSON: Journolist Trig Emails – All About The Story Line. “The emerging picture of the Journolist is that it served as a place where like-minded people who had great influence on how the media portrayed events were able to coordinate their story lines for the benefit of the Obama campaign. We saw the media bias on the surface; the Journolistas helped frame that bias below the surface.”

THAT’S WHO THEY ARE, THAT’S WHAT THEY DO: Ann Althouse: Oliver Willis, at Media Matters, writes a shamefully dishonest post about me. Plus, from the comments: “Leave the last two words out of your post title and you could use that headline every day.” Heh.

IN THE MAIL: From James W. Huston, Falcon Seven.

JIM TREACHER: “For the past week I have been troubled by strange and violent dreams.”

GALLUP: More States “Competitive” in Terms of Party Identification. “More states are politically competitive this year than was the case in 2009, as fewer Americans nationwide identify with the Democratic Party.” But don’t get cocky, Republicans. They don’t call you the “stupid party” for nothing.

UPDATE: Speaking of stupid: A third-party run for Tancredo.

POWER LINE: Lewis, Carson, Cleaver and the phantom n-word. “It is a contrast that provides the appropriate ‘context’ for the Breitbart hysteria of the past week.” They’re attacking Breitbart because he’s destroyed their narrative. That’s all it’s about. But the narrative’s still taking hits.

UPDATE: Tina Brown: “Shirley Sherrod’s firing isn’t a teachable moment. It was a wake-up call for the White House gang that can’t shoot straight.”

WASHINGTON SENATE RACE TIGHTENS: “Sen. Patty Murray, D-Wash, has quietly risen through the ranks and is now the fourth most powerful member of the U.S. Senate. She has easily won re-election twice since her surprising victory in 1992. In her most recent contest, Murray handily beat Republican Congressman George Nethercutt 55%-43%. But if the early polls are accurate, the senator could be in serious trouble.”

THE HILL: Rangel may hurt fellow Dems with ethics trial yet keep his own seat.

SO I THINK WE HAVE TO SCORE THAT A LOSS: Angry public hounds obscenely overpaid city official out of job — he still gets $1 million annual public pension. Boy, though, I really wasted my time going to Yale Law School. I should’ve just gotten a government job in California.

MASSACHUSETTS: State workers feverishly taking sick time…as pol pushes for reform in private sector.

HMM: Sherrod: “We Must Stop The White Man And His Uncle Toms …” “First, a note of heartfelt appreciation for Joan Walsh of Salon. Her moving post on Charles Sherrod – in defense of his wife, Shirley – provided the inspiration required to dust off my Google skills. I simply had to fulfill her stated desire to share the actual words of Civil Rights icon Charles Sherrod with her readers, so touched was I by her profound tribute. And she’s been swamped on TV, justifying Shirley Sherrod calling Fox and Andrew Breitbart racist. I can only hope she will be kind enough to direct her readers here, so we can all share his unique wisdom on race relations together, as one. That is, after all, the way it should be, is it not, Joan?”

TIM CAVANAUGH: Personal Finance For the Publicly Employed: Quit Paying Your Mortgage Because Your Overtime’s Been Reduced.

WSJ: The White House budget office offers a scorecard on Obamanomics. “Democrats have been running Congress for nearly four years, and President Obama has been at the White House for 18 months, so it’s not too soon to ask: How’s that working out? One devastating scorecard came out Friday from the White House, in the form of its own semi-annual budget review.”

MEGAN MCARDLE: “I don’t know which is worse: the notion that Elizabeth Warren understood what she was doing, or the notion that she didn’t.”

DOUBLE STANDARD? Mel Gibson and Oliver Stone. “So, what will it be for Hollywood liberals? Is anti-Semitism only unacceptable when it comes from right-wing Christians, or equally bad when it comes from non-Christian leftists, who add a bit of anti-Israel window dressing? (The early returns are not promising; so far, the left-wing blogosphere has responded to Stone’s remarks with deafening silence).”

DAILY CALLER: Raw Journolist emails on ‘Palin’s Downs child’.

Related: “A whole litter of beagles.” They don’t inspire confidence. Didn’t the “best and brightest” used to be, you know, better and brighter?

TOM MAGUIRE: Bob Schieffer Calls For Better Fact-Checking, Gets Facts Wrong. Proving his own point, I guess . . . .

DAILY CALLER: “We And The Obama Campaign:” Journolist debates making its coordination with Obama explicit.

EZRA KLEIN ON “MORNING JOE,” JournoList scandal never mentioned. Well, there’s probably a directive not to talk about it that went out on Cabalist. . . .

THINGS YOU MIGHT HAVE MISSED THIS WEEKEND, if you were off, you know, having a life or something

Stephen Green on Obama and the race card.

House Democrat calls on Charlie Rangel to resign. Plus, from Tunku Varadarajan, Charlie Rangel is toast.

Randy Barnett is interviewed in the WSJ on ObamaCare and the Constitution.

Writing on Elena Kagan, lefty Paul Campos channels Angelo Codevilla.

New deficit numbers released Friday afternoon look worse, not better.

Taxes are for the little people, not John Kerry.

Andrew Breitbart: Where are the firings at Politico or Bloomberg News? Related: Prof. Jacobson is still waiting for apologies.

Arnold Kling: “The Internet serves as a constant reminder of the wisdom of Hayek.”

It’s not just John Kerry with a yacht problem: Florida Senate candidate Jeff Greene has one too. Tax avoidance plus coral-reef destruction. A two-fer!

James Carville slams Obama on drilling moratorium.

NICOLE GELINAS: Don’t bank on NYC’s ‘early’ recovery.

DISGRACE: DOJ Doesn’t Protect Military Voting Rights.

MASSIMO PIGLIUCCI ON MARTHA NUSSBAUM ON BURQA BANS: “I must say that it is rather distressing to see a progressive public intellectual with a rigorous training in philosophy arguing so badly. It is in fact rather ironic that throughout her essay Nussbaum accuses her opponents of adopting a double cultural standard, while at the same time flagrantly doing the same herself, point after point.”

UPDATE: Related thoughts from Dodd Harris.

SOMEHOW I MISSED THIS LAST WEEK, but it’s still important: Congressman introduces resolution to protect citizens who videotape cops. Needless to say, I agree — but I’d prefer actual federal civil rights legislation to a “sense of Congress” resolution.

And here’s an editorial from USA Today that I missed, too. Well, I was working hard on a law-review article, so I guess I was distracted.

And here’s one more thing that I missed that day: DA’s office agrees to unusual settlement. “The Allegheny County district attorney’s office has agreed to settle a federal lawsuit against it by redistributing a memo explaining that it is not against the law to videotape a police officer in the course of doing his duty. The unusual settlement — which includes no financial terms — came about after a Hill District man was charged with violating state wiretap laws in April 2009.”

Boy, you blink for a second. . . .
