you have to give up that ed mcmahon publishers clearinghouse

you have to give up that ed mcmahon moment that you get from doing it in this loud way. george w. bush administration did it in the loud and splashy but less good way. when president obama did a stimulus, they did it the way that's better for the economy but doesn't give the president much credit. they decided to do the stimulus this part of the payroll tax deduction. everybody got a few more bucks in their paycheck. it stimulates the economy way my directly and efficiently. the cost is there's no check in the mail moment that makes you like the president who sent you the money. the policy is better but the cost is that the president does not get credit. democrats, of course they do it that way. in today's news there's a sign that maybe democrats are learning a lesson on this type of politics. it's not a lesson about policy. it's a lesson about how to get credit for policy. there's a chance that you may be able to get a publisher's clearancinghouse head mcmahon check from obama care. the secretary of health is blogging about it today at the white house website. health reform or as

choices are the moderate well-knowned former congress manning chris shays or wrestling executive linda mcmahon, who won the nomination in 2010 and then spent $50 million of her own money, trying to win a senate seat in 2010 and she lost, even in that super republican year. so we will see if connecticut keeps up the trend of what dick lugar is calling the purification process in these republican primaries. i think it's a process that must feel great to the republicans, because they keep doing it. but so far, in 2012, just like in 2010, it means that the democrats are starting to look like they will have a chance of holding on to the senate in november. that is something that nobody thought the democrats could do until a few months ago. >>> let's start with your laugh. >> you know, i live for laughter. i mean -- [ laughing ] >> it isn't working. it's inert. it just doesn't come across as genuine. worst of all, it's mirthless, which is to say that while you expect us to be amused, you're not the least bit amused yourself. i've advised people who are watching you to freeze the frame and then put t
