Weekend Update - March 1st

• President Obama. President Obama. Just keep saying it over and over. Feels good, doesn't it? Well, it feels better than doing your taxes. Everyone Mark Morford knows is feeling a little bipolar right now.


• Republican Party Chairman Rush Limbaugh even came down hard on Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal for his silly little speech the other night. But there's something really strange about Rush, and this isn't the first time we've felt that way.


• El Rushbo closed out the 36th Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) on Saturday, the day we lovingly call The Day the Republican Party Jumped the Shark, he "got so many feverish standing ovations that they could have done without the seats in the conference hall. The politically deranged appeared going through some sort of exorcism frenzy as Rush refused to apologize for wanting Obama to fail and for repeatedly describing "liberals" and the "Democrat Party" as the "enemy."'


• Our Frank Rich writes of Obama's speech last Tuesday in " The Ecstasy and the Agony."


• Joe "The Plumber" Wurzelbacher suggests that some members of Congress should be shot. No really, I'm not kidding. Read it yourself. And a video, too.


• We hear that Bill O'Reilly is scheduled to speak at a fund raising event for rape victims. Sit down, take off your hat, scratch your head, and say "What?"


• And finally, what do you do to Tibetan Monks who insist on setting themselves on fire? Shoot them, of course.
