Run, Sarah, Run! – The Daily Beast

Here is an argument for Sarah Palin to stick around as she is so stupid she obviously couldn’t win an election.

I have three words for that line of reasoning: George W. Bush.

Look, she takes the asinine stupidity of Bush with the “aww shucks” leggy girl power that appeals to both repressed Rethug women who should know better AND the NASCAR mouth breathers they are married to.

This idjut COULD win.

And you want to know who is helping her? The same media she cries about. Case in point: this morning I turned off my TV as CBS’ early show said their commentary on Palin quitting would be Ann “My Adam’s Apple is Bigger than most Guys'” Coulter.

Really. To discuss a flash-in-the-pan, corrupt mental lightweight we’re bringing in a racist, bigoted, hatemongering succubus who permanently wears a cocktail dress.

Yeah, THAT is solid reporting folks.

Nah, we’re stuck with Mr. Ed’s granddaughter AND Palin for awhile, I’m afraid.

Nah, Political Irony put it best this morning:

“Sarah Palin, a professional politician with a 17 year career, who recently dissed professional politicians, a creature who was largely created by the right-wing media, but likes to blame everything on the media, has resigned. Of course, even though she saw nothing wrong with spending lots of campaign money on clothes, and raising political money to cover her legal bills (which is an ethics violation), she delivered her resignation speech — blaming government spending for our nation’s problems.”

Attributions to their credible claims at the site itself.

New poll reveals Ensign’s status sinking – News – ReviewJournal.com

Granted, the Review-Journal is probably one of the most conservative daily papers I’ve ever read – and no, I very, very rarely pay money for that rag – but even the local conservathugs are beginning to find John Ensign to be a piece of crap.

That said, most of them think he should not resign. Hooray for flexible Republican morals!

Hypocritical bastards.

Pentagon Furious at Fox News Analyst for Calling For Execution of Captured Soldier | | AlterNet

The title says it all. The military should be pissed for FAUXNews personalities and guests wishing for the execution of an American soldier by our enemies.

All conservatives should be pissed too. Can you imagine the hatred and vile crossburnings if someone like Michael Moore had said something so odious?

Yeah, there would be angry protests in every major city.

To date: none. Why? Because these meat puppets eat everything FAUX is serving, even selling out our soldiers.

So, while I am glad some in the military are angry, the majority of mess halls will probably still air their crap and the majority of “patriotic” racist and bigoted Americans will still watch as well.

Racism: Texas Justice style.

Not to put too fine a point on it, but Texas conservatives hated Kennedy. Kennedy got shot in Dallas.

Grand Prairie is near Dallas. Texas conservatives hate non-whites more than they do Catholics. And here we have cops spreading racist emails around about our president.

And these cretins think they are patriotic Americans, I bet.

US teen pregnancy and syphilis rates rose sharply during George Bush’s presidency, Centres for Disease Control finds | World news | guardian.co.uk

Yet another failed policy of the Bush hegemony. It turns out that preaching abstinence in schools – as opposed to providing proper sex education – aids in increasing teen pregnancy and the spread of STDs like syphillis and AIDS.

The rates of increase are highest in the southern states where the policy of choosing fantasy over fact were the strongest.

Go figure.

Op-Ed Columnist – Pharisees on the Potomac – NYTimes.com

Maureed Dowd points out that the GOP has gotten bad at the only thing they’ve ever been good at: Here is a list of the Rethug crazy train rolling through his district.

Meanwhile, some Rethug car dealer in Missouri is offering a free AK-47 with the purchase of a pickup truck. One, rednecks need less weapons, not more given their tendencies towards killing doctors and blowing up decent Americans. Two, why are so-called patriots lining up to get Soviet/Russian/Red China-made assault rifles? Are you too traitorous to actually want an AR-15 when you plot to destroy America? Is THAT the limit of your hypocrisy?

Look, at this point, I could never voting Republican, even if the Democrats turn into the Flying Demon Bat Party tomorrow. In that case, find me a viable third party, but I am NEVER EVER going to side with those racist morons. Ever.

(Granted, I only voted GOP once and he was running for coroner, for God’s sake.)
