Waldo Lydecker's Journal.

• Only white people are patriots nowadays.

  The Really White People's Party had their rally in Washington today. They were really white. Really.
  
  
  Anaconda was all over the white thing, even noting that, among SC's congressional delegation, "Democratic Majority Whip Jim Clyburn, who represents South Carolina’s minority-majority Sixth Congressional District, is expected to vote" [...]

• This week with Congressman J. Gresham Barrett.

  So it's been Gitmo week for Congressman J. Gresham Barrett, who is running for SC governor.

• Waldo agrees it's not Wilson's ad, but that still doesn't prove he's not an idiot.

  
  
  Congressman Joe Wilson is peeved that someone has put up an ad that says the President is a Communist.
  
  But Wilson doesn't deny the premise.
  
  Meantime, Wilson was out pandering to the Teabaggers' remarkably underwhelming descent upon the Capitol.

• Alone in his Portland mansion, Bishop Malone is saying, "Uh...Calvinism? As if?"

  Notes from the Resistance in the People's Theocracy of Maine:
  
  As much as the Haters tried to keep their funding sources secret, the information is seeping out. Bishop Malone appears to have transferred upwards of $263,000 from the diocesan general treasury to the anti-marriage campaign, and [...]

• Somewhere, Eric Sevareid (aka "Severalsides") is laughing.

  KausFiles notes the restoration of a long-honored standard in DC punditry:
  
  
  Hugh ("only time will tell") Sidey has a worthy successor: Eugene Robinson in this morning's WaPo:
  Reading too much into Tuesday's off-off-year election results would be a mistake, but reading too little into them would be wrong as well.[...]
