Why doesn't he just stop lying about what he is and declare himself a republican?

Why can't the guy just be honest and declare himself the Republican he is?

At least we were not stuck with him as VP when he ran in 2000.

Michelle Bachmann needs at least 72 hours to color the pictures in the bill.

ACORN, maybe?

All of Salon's emendations were from the New Testament. How about Leviticus 19:18:

Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself, as long as said neighbor is not an illegal alien nor a member of a minority group, nor someone who makes less than $100k per annum

Let me start off by saying that I am a male.

What is "consent"? If Letterman let his subordinates know that they would get better positions (Please, no pun intended here) for submitting to him or that lack of submission could cost them professionally, then is it true "consent" or is it coercion? What of the employees who did not get advanced because the sex objects did? Is that fair to them? I think we are in a situation where there is no real consent, just fabricated consent.

To excuse this because we have other, bigger fish to fry (Polanski) is disingenuous. There hardly is a dearth of lawyers in this country or a dearth of anger. I say toss Polanski in jail and fire Letterman's ass.

I thought the matter was settled over 55 years ago, when I Republican President, Eisenhower, gave MacArthur his walking papers when the latter forgot that the civilian authority is who gives the orders and the military takes them. Have the Republicans forgotten what the president of their own party did?

The only reason that we can say that Iran never launched an aggressive war was that Jimmy Carter was feckless. Their invasion of sovereign US territory, i.e. the embassy, was an act of aggressive war, which should have been answered.

Seems as if this bozo has overstepped the boundaries of free speech and is advocating the violent overthrow of the US government. Isn't this something to get him jailed? Will the duly constituted authorities have the guts to do that?

"Sarah Palin finishes her book" needs a gerund. Finishes what her book? Finishes coloring it or finishes looking at the pictures in it?

The Reich (oops, I mean the right) objects that he has more important things to do than going overseas to shill for the Olympics. Let's compare the amount of vacation time he took from when he took office until now to the amount of vacation time his predecessor took in the same period of time. You might say that most of Bush's first months were pre-9/11, so maybe it was not that serious, but let's instead, take Bush's vacation time over eight years and divide it by 12 to get the amount on average he took in an eight month period and compare it with Obama's vacation time.

I am one red-blooded American male who does consider this offensive.

Think of all the men who have been falsely accused, including this one, of course. While the woman remains anonymous, his name is dragged through the mud. If rape victims can be anonymous then why not those accused, at least until conviction? What's sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander.

Gosh, and here I thought Obama's predecessor, or more like Joe Biden's was the antichrist.

The reason that the controversy is ongoing is Wilson's refusal to apologize to the House. He thinks his apology to Obama was enough. This proves, though, as he did apologize to Obama, that he knows he was wrong. In that case why not just tell "I'm sorry" to the House and end the whole mess?

Just my luck to live in her district. I refer to her as "Silent-M," a take on her surname. Don't forget that she was the same idiot who, in her very first speech to Congress, was so bad that Rachel Drach on Saturday Night Live spoofed her. I don't know if this woman is the very worst member of Congress, but she comes close.

The rally, BTW, was not in her district, but in Minority Leader John Boner's district (OK, so I misspelled it a bit) and Silent-M was just there to steal some thunder.

Beck mentioned that he was walking by the mural on the façade and that it drove him nuts. Well, I guess he was telling the truth as now we see the results of his being driven nuts.

Interesting how "communist," "fascist," and even "socialist," to the lunatic fringe have become simply generic pejoratives. If Beck (or any of those fruitcakes) were to think of what the terms meant they would know that the fascists and communists were brutal enemies of each other, so how can one be both?

As Greenwald said:

" They can all bash affirmative action and talk about how vitally important it is that the U.S. remain a Great Meritocracy because it's really unfair for anything other than merit to determine position and employment. They can interview Lisa Murkowski, Evan Bayh, Jeb Bush, Bob Casey, Mark Pryor, Jay Rockefeller, Dan Lipinksi, and Harold Ford, Jr. about personal responsibility and the virtues of self-sufficiency."

Interesting how he mentions only Republicans here, with the exception of Bayh, as far as I can tell (I might be wrong.) Why not talk about Bobby and Teddy Kennedy, who came in on their brother's coat tails or Al Gore, who is the son of another Al Gore. How about Thomas Dodd's son Chris?

Here's an easy test. If she claims that waterboarding is not torture then let her volunteer to be waterboarded.

To be a speaker doesn't she first have to learn how to speak, preferably in complete, declarative sentences with both subject and predicate?

Jewish and Muslim laws require male circumcision. I wonder how much of Limbaugh's opinion is based on a theory of the superiority of evangelical Christians.
