Let's Do the Time Warp Again...
This bizarre whopper from Newsmax.com goes far, far beyond a simple tyop or misunderstaking:
Members of the Congressional Black Caucus remain disappointed with President Barack Obama over his lack of assertiveness in promoting minority judicial candidates, The Hill reported....
There are those in the 43-member group who continue to believe the president has not pushed back hard enough against the Republican-controlled Senate where nominees must be confirmed.
Rep. Emanuel Cleaver, D-Mo., said he and like-minded CBC members would not allow Obama nominees waiting for Senate confirmation "to languish in some kind of a neo-conservative purgatory" without speaking out.
Exsqueeze me? When did we capture the Senate? Somehow I missed that.
In addition to the Senate still languishing under the micro-mismanagement of Majority Leader Harry "Pinky" Reid ( R D-NV, 90%), I thought Democrats had finally pulled the trigger last year on the so-called "nuclear option" to ban filibusters of Obama nominees, including federal judges. Or did I just dream that? No, for here's the last sentence in this piece:
Democrats in November voted to curb filibusters against Obama nominees.
Either somebody is stuck in the October past -- or else he's DeLoreaned himself back to the future of January, 2015!
What's even odder is that if you correct the party in charge of the Senate, then the entire article makes no sense at all; since the Senate Republicans have no veto whatsoever on confirming Obamic appointees, the fight is actually between Democrat senators -- and the Democrat president. So what's the point?
Were I the editor, I think I would just send the whole mess back to Mr. Jager with a curt note that friends don't let friends write drunk.

Consider the "clean" (as defined by Orwell) debt ceiling limit which was only passed because the "Republican leadership" decided to become members of the Democrat party caucus.
I deleted the other five identical comments; I think you were trapped in a time warp again! -- DaH
