		<description><![CDATA[The RNC Chairman probably doesn&#8217;t write his own press releases, and I would suggest getting a few more creative writers on board to enliven his boring statements.
On Christie&#8217;s inauguration in NJ:
Today I join with the people of New Jersey in congratulating Governor Chris Christie on his official swearing-in as the 55th Governor of the state [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Conservatives are clearly to blame for Bill Owens&#8217; victory in upstate New York.
The fight between the official nominee, Dede Scozzafava, and the conservative Doug Hoffman has thrown another seat into the Pelosi camp. With Scozzafava, it should have been in the GOP column for at least another term. Hoffman doesn&#8217;t even live in the district [...]]]></description>

The latest is Sen. Ensign (R-Nev.) who helped find a job for his mistress&#8217; husband. Quite a noble man, eh? Boink the wife, and enrich the husband too.

His excuse:

But, I was wrong. I can recall at least 3 awkward instances&#8230;

		<description><![CDATA[With Coleman&#8217;s electoral defeat and Specter&#8217;s defection, the GOP is left without a single Jewish senator and only one Jewish Member of the House, Eric Cantor. The Dems, in contrast, have 13 Jewish senators and 31 in the House.
Interestingly, as Gilgoff points out,

Others suspect something more sinister is afoot and suggest she&#8217;s about to become embroiled in a major Alaskan scandal, pointing to the abruptness of the announcement made on the eve of Independence Day that caught even Republicans by surprise.
Something&#8217;s fishy in Alaska.
