Thursday Morning Open Thread

So, the Republicans used the filibuster to keep the Iraq war going. Bush and his allies consider that a big win. That's the only victory they can accomplish when it comes to Iraq. A filibuster victory. They're pathetic.

Which leads me to NBC's Kelly O'Donnell. Reporting from the White House, she just did a lengthy piece on how the presidential campaigns are spending money --- breathlessly revealing the amount some of the candidates are spending on pizza and coffee. Imagine if NBC spent as much time breathlessly explaining the health care positions of the candidates. And, that's the biggest story NBC's White House reporter can come up with? Apparently, for NBC, there's no other news from the Bush administration, so we get a report on pizza and coffee bills.

Okay, just get it started, please.
