Stephen Colbert juxtaposes Joe Lieberman from Tuesday night with Joe Lieberman from 2006 and reveals what a true spineless snake he really is. As a bonus, Colbert exposes McCain for the maverick he isn’t.

Lieberman: What, after all, is a Democrat like me doing at a Republican convention like this?

Colbert: Oh, oh, oh, I know…spitting in the face of everyone who voted for you?

＜ねんきん特別便＞「記録訂正なし」の８割、実際は必要

9月4日22時45分配信毎日新聞

　年金加入期間などの記録漏れの可能性がある人に送られた「ねんきん特別便」（今年３月までの発送分）で、ほぼ漏れた記録の持ち主とみられるのに「訂正なし」と回答した受給者が、８月１日時点で６１万１１０６人に上ることが分かった。うち２０万５４８５人に照会した結果、８割は訂正が必要だったことも判明。特別便による記録訂正が難航している実態が浮かんだ。

　４日の年金業務・社会保険庁監視等委員会に社保庁が報告した。

　ほぼ宙に浮いた記録の持ち主とみられるのは、送付した受給者の中でも、本人の確認済みの加入期間と漏れた記録の期間が重複しない人。それにもかかわらず「訂正なし」と回答した人に、社保庁が漏れた期間などを直接伝えた結果、約２０万人中１６万６８１人に漏れた記録があることが判明した。だが、記録を訂正すべき対象者（約６１万人）で記録漏れが確認できた割合は２６．３％にとどまる。

　３月までの特別便は、漏れた記録そのものは載せなかった。このため約２０万人中６割弱は「記録に間違いがないと思った」と答えていた。【野倉恵】

Palin's Daughter's Pregnancy OFF LIMITS

Obama To Media: "Back Off" Palin Pregnancy

At a brief press availability in Monroe, Mich., ABC News asked Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., if he had any response to Gov. Sarah Palin's statement that her unmarried 17-year-old daughter Bristol is pregnant.

"Let me be a clear as possible: I have said before and I will repeat again, I think people's families are off limits," Obama said, "and people's children are especially off limits.

"This shouldn't be part of our politics," he continued, "It has no relevance to Gov. Palin's performance as governor, or her potential performance as a vice president.

"And so I would strongly urge people to back off these kinds of stories," he said. "You know my mother had me when she was 18, and how a family deals with issues and, you know, teenage children, that shouldn't be the topic of our politics and I hope that anybody who is supporting me understands that's off limits."

I found this on the net...pass it around...it's soooo true. "Only in Republican America would a black man with a law degree from Harvard, 12 years in politics, four years on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee and manager of one of the most impressively flawless and forward thinking presidential campaigns ever not be ready for the presidency while a white female evangelical with 19 months in national politics and a bachelors in journalism is considered "ready on day one." so true.

Put a mythical six chimpanzees to work on a mythical six typewriters and one of them might eventually type out Hamlet, but I feel fairly confident that a billion years could pass before any healthy primate would make it even halfway through the unlikely sentence Donald Rumsfeld impeded the Iraq war effort. Yet there was Joe Biden, saying it on live television last week.

Sexism and Sarah Palin

It started Friday afternoon with John Roberts on CNN, and then in a slow build over the weekend it became clear what the leading sexist charge would be against Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin: Is it appropriate for her to accept the vice presidential nomination given the magnitude of her current family responsibilities?

The obvious retort is whether anyone would ask the same question of the father of a four-month-old with Down Syndrome and a pregnant teenager. We think not.

The very notion that Sarah Palin should not have accepted this nomination because she is a mother with demanding challenges underscores just how far we have to go.

WomenCount was born of the passion its founders had for Hillary Clinton’s clear view of social issues and progressive values. We cannot pretend that Governor Palin meets any standard of progressive politics or social values.

But regardless of the candidates’ ideology, we will work to stamp out sexism when we see it on the campaign trail.
