Jumping from the Titanic in NY Senate, GOP regains control with two Dems switching parties...

Interesting...

Republicans seized control of the New York State Senate
on Monday, in a stunning and sudden reversal of fortunes for the
Democratic Party, which controlled the chamber for barely five months.


A raucous leadership fight erupted on the floor of the Senate around
3 p.m., with two Democrats, Pedro Espada Jr. of the Bronx and Hiram
Monserrate of Queens, joining the 30 Senate Republicans in a motion
that would displace Democrats as the party in control.

Dean G. SkelosGiovanni Rufino for The New York Times Senator Dean G.
Skelos, a Long Island Republican, would likely be the new majority
leader if his party takes control.


It was a noisy and acrimonious scene on the floor of the Senate as
Senator Thomas W. Libous, a Republican from Binghamton and the party’s
deputy leader, shouted for a roll-call vote, while Democrats attempted
to stall the vote by asking to adjourn the session.


All 30 Republicans stood with their hands raised, signaling a vote
for a change in leadership. Mr. Espada and Mr. Monserrate joined them,
each raising his hand.

Obama spokesperson confirms NY Post article

Well, it sure sounds like she did ; In the New York Post, conservative Iranian-born columnist Amir Taheri quoted Iraqi Foreign Minister Hoshyar Zebari as saying the Democrat made the demand when he visited Baghdad in July, while publicly demanding an early withdrawal. “He asked why we were not prepared to delay an agreement until after the US elections and the formation of a new administration in Washington,” Zebari said in an interview, according to Taheri. “However, as an Iraqi, I prefer to have a security agreement that regulates the activities of foreign troops, rather than keeping the matter open,” Zebari reportedly said. … Obama’s national security spokeswoman Wendy Morigi said Taheri’s article bore “as much resemblance to the truth as a McCain campaign commercial.” In fact, Obama had told the Iraqis that they should not rush through a “Strategic Framework Agreement” governing the future of US forces until after President George W. Bush leaves office, she said...

What a load of crap!

Ok...for starters its called wolf control . The killing of wolves either via the air or the more traditional ways saves moose and caribou which is the intent. And also Alaskans rely on deer, moose, caribou and other wildlife for food . These dumb asses would rather have you believe that Palin is hanging out the side of the helicopter screaming in hysterical joy while she slaughters these poor defenseless wolves. And isn't that really the point anyway.
