PolitiFact confirms that calling former Sen. Jon Corzine (D-NJ) to testify before a Senate committee about the collapse of investment firm MF Global was the first time in history where a former senator has been subpoenaed to testify before his former colleagues.
Today’s Quickie:
Remember this jaw-dropping video that I posted yesterday? Deadbeat Dad Rep. Joe Walsh meltdown: “Don’t blame the banks … I am tired of hearing that crap! This pisses me off!”
He’s blaming his bizarre outburst on “an empty stomach”…

That was today’s Quickie. Was it good for you?
Wow. Just, wow.
