Rahm Immanuel (sp?) is one smart cookie, just when the Rs tire of one non-issue he tosses something else their way and they get their drawers in another knot. Since they can easily waste 2-3 days batting things around, to no good end he only needs to come up with another 190 +/- "distractions" to drive them crazy. Although in the case of a few of them it's not a drive, it's a "gimme putt".
So far he's used:
Limbaugh
Teleprompter
DVDs
Dropping the dollar
iPod
Queen Elizabeth
"Apology"
"Bowing"
Reforming immigration (didn't last long enough to distract them)
Some topics that I think he should consider tossing into the mix:
Renaming the Interstate Highway system to the "Black History Month Highway System"
Issuing new "Quarters" (25 cent pieces) to honor famous gays and lesbians and their contributions to American life
Annexing Libya as the 51st state
Issuing new postage stamps honoring "fallen" televangelists
Renaming some military units to honor "famous" chickenhawks, ie; 101st "Screaming Limbaughs" Airborne Division, The 49th "Newt Gingrich" Fighter Interceptor Squadron
It's really easy to do, just tell a reporter (on deep background) that any of these are being considered, that reporter will try to confirm it, it'll get to Drudge, then Rush, then George Will. Will is considered "intellectual" because he wears a bowtie (yet oddly enough not considered gay-despite the "prop" wife) and that'll give the rumor legitimacy. Once Will brings it up on "This Week" it'll be considered FACT and the Rs in Congress will discuss nothing else among themselve or on FoxNews.
I tell you, two of these a week and the Ds will be able to get everything done that they need done.
If you've got any more post them here. The White House wants citizens to get involved and stay involved. This is part of empowering America!

Keep em coming seems to be working quite well for the Republicans!

You are so right about: "Once Will brings it up on "This Week" it'll be considered FACT and the Rs in Congress will discuss nothing else among themselve or on FoxNews."
This following is a quote from the provided link concerning Cheney's announcement that the Chinese are drilling for oil off of the Florida coast. An assertion that proved to be untrue. Apparently even our Republican VP, at the time, received his "intelligence" from a columnist, George Will!
Quote:
Vice President Dick Cheney, in a speech Wednesday to the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, picked up the refrain. Cheney quoted a column by George Will, who wrote last week that "drilling is under way 60 miles off Florida. The drilling is being done by China, in cooperation with Cuba, which is drilling closer to South Florida than U.S. companies are."
