You were having so much fun this summer...

...well, except for droughts, tornadoes, heat waves, and Hurricane Irene, I mean...you were having so much fun I bet you forgot about these guys, right?

White House: Request for "super committee" to stop fundraising is "silly" - Political Hotsheet - CBS News

A liberal watchdog group is calling on Sen. Patty Murray to stop fundraising for the Democratic party and step down from her party leadership position while she serves on the congressional "super committee," which is charged with finding trillions in budget savings this year. The White House today, however, dismissed the notion of a conflict of interest between Murray's two roles as "silly criticism."

(Emphasis mine.)

Sorry to bring this up, but this is the committe Congress set up so it wouldn't have to do the friggin' job we're friggin' paying it to do (how cool would it be if you could appoint a committee to do your job and still keep collecting your check?) and they have only a couple of months to cut the federal budget (remember, it was loss of government jobs that caused August job growth to net out to a big fat zero, the worst performance since WWII) all to shreds. 

Oh, and BTW, they're bought.

I'm thinking, run.
