Good coverage on how FAUXNews viewers are being fed lies and take it as Gospel.

There’s a reason you can have a reasoned argument with a conservative anymore: their brains don’t even function on the same information our’s do.

Well said.

Another NPR article calls this the Summer of Hate, somehow equating the 1969 Summer of Love to this mob uprising. While there probably are some ex-hippies amongst the firebreathers shouting down democracy, I doubt it’s really the same crowd. These are probably the same ilk shucking duty like W or draft dodging through loopholes like Cheney as opposed to serial protesters.

Either way, they are angry, scared fools easily manipulated by the GOP.

Think Goldman Sachs is just some innocent banking machine caught up in the financial shitstorm with the rest of us? According to Matt Taibbi, this is part of a sick trend of their’s. In short, they have a history of creating and/or being a trigger of every big collapse in our recent financial history.

And just for chuckles, he takes on Hank Paulson’s “genius” as well.

Leave it to Dave to have the last laugh. Freaking genius. Seriously, click for the video or check out the whole monologue here.

Also, some quick shots considering her unfit for political office, and another falsehood from Caribou Barbie on the existence of a “Department of Law” that supposedly shields the Executive Branch from ethics lawsuits.

And to think she was almost president! Yeah, you know that would’ve happened Republicans. What the hell were you smoking? Sheesh!

So, Sarah Palin is quitting her job.

The gal who pals around with terrorist sympathizers in bed says she can’t handle being investigated for ethics violations and taunted for being a mental lightweight.

While cruel, I love this:

“Either Sarah Palin is leaving the people of Alaska high and dry to pursue her long shot national political ambitions or she simply can’t handle the job now that her popularity has dimmed and oil revenues are down. Either way – her decision to abandon her post and the people of Alaska who elected her continues a pattern of bizarre behavior that more than anything else may explain the decision she made today.”

– DNC Spokesman Brad Woodhouse

I mean, let’s be honest here. This is a person that encouraged racial hostility as a political tool no more than nine months ago.

And the more this goes on, the more delusional her fans are getting. The new meme? She quit because she’s a “fighter”.

Hmm, last I checked, you don’t win a fight by QUITTING!

But hey, don’t take my word for it. Here is the Juneau paper’s editorial page:

“Palin veiled her announcement as something much more noble, but the fact is that she’s quitting less than three years into her tenure. And, given her meteoric rise to national political stardom last fall, Alaskans are shocked and appalled by her decision to quit midstream.

We say good for her, however, because it’s been nearly a year since the first-term governor has acted like she actually wanted the job. Still unknown, however, is why Palin is calling it quits, though her press office has given numerous reasons for why she isn’t. They say:

• It wasn’t because Palin can’t take the criticism that comes with being an elected official.
• It wasn’t because she is planning to run for higher office.
• It wasn’t because of bad press and bloggers.

Palin said during her speech Friday – for which the press was given less than two hours notice – she didn’t want to become a ‘lame duck.’ She also referenced not wanting to waste taxpayer dollars due to what she believes are frivolous ethics complaints against her and members of her administration.

If Palin is considered a lame duck it’s by her own making. She engaged in needless disputes with bloggers and members of the press, waged a talk-show battle with David Letterman over a crude joke (was Letterman’s comment really the worst we’ve heard from late-night comedians?), and touted her office’s transparency while doing the opposite in practice.

Not only did she hit the self-destruct button, she built the time bomb known as Sarah Palin. We’re surprised by the news, but we shouldn’t be.

Palin should have waited a few days before announcing her resignation. Instead, she dropped a bombshell just one day before Alaska was to celebrate its 50th anniversary of statehood. Her announcement could have overshadowed the historic significance of the Fourth, but it certainly didn’t in Juneau or Douglas, where people were much more concerned about celebrating their state’s heritage than about what the “guv” was doing or saying.

Apparently, they’re tired of her “cute” act too. Act your age, you idiot!

Wonkette has some other not-very-helpful, but oh-so-funny observations.

Now THIS is just freaking hilarious.

The GOP has been running around sobbing about being victims. You know, like it isn’t their fault they lost some many races in the last election. And frankly, by races I mean both contests and genetic groupings.

The highlight comes in some Republicans comparing themselves to oppressed Iranians. Let’s be honest guys, you have a LOT more in common with Ahmedinejad and his goons with your wide experience in stealing elections. Except, frankly, you’re better at it than he is.

The sad truth is that you can decide whether or not someone is a Talibangelical Rethug idiot by asking them which Palin daughter Letterman was joking about. If they answer “Willow”, then they are a moron you no longer need to listen to.

Funny how Palin finds new and more creative ways to ruin public discourse for her own benefit. Dave has apologized THREE times and still she pushes the envelope into an alternate reality on her and her hatemonger fans believe in.
