Dems get another seat and are able to tip Arlen by wielding funding at him.

Repugs get to purify their precious party (and devolve more into obscurity, but hey! if they're comfy there...).

Sounds good to me!

...and have a point by point communication blitz to quickly respond, or, even better, pre-empt, each and every lobe of these lies.

He would be eviscerated, drawn, quartered, called undemocratic, a whiner, a loser, and that's just the MSM.

Fox news would call him a traitor. It would be a 24 hour full court press to throw him into Gitmo.

But no, everybody treats ole Darth Vader with kid gloves and continues to give him a forum.

Between his drug addiction, his deep feelings of inadequacy leading him to giggle at anal rape and throw insults at little girls, and his butt fetish, Rush needs help. A lot of help. I doubt he'll get it, but I actually feel sorry for the guy. He's a sad, bloated sack of man.

They can't shut us all down.

"Lowry responded, '[N]ot sure I'm following you. Can you be more specific?'"

Wow, that's... whew. And they call *her* racist?

I'd like to see this faux intellectual surf the knife edge of diplomacy with the Muslim world while not alarming or mystifying the audience at home with her own "final draft" speech. Just like in her Madonna wannabe phase, Camille can't help envying those in the spotlight while clumsily pretending to be superior to those who have what she covets.

A great ending to a great op-ed. What chance does regular media have when they're going up against informed, even-handed, AND funny as hell?

Holy crap, what's next? Skinned puppies and kittens to make a throw rug?

There is an orgy of drooling and parsing over Cashill...

Seriously, WTF, Steele!

How about listening to the people? Obama is betting people are looking for help, desperately, not another clown to distract from the bodies being pulled from the rollercoaster.

I hope he's right.

I like Shep. He's also the one who hilariously mocked fellow Fox-ian and blubbery wackjob Glenn Beck:

Here's Shep's "we do not f***ing torture" clip:

Did I say I liked Shep? I do.

...have you no shame, madam?

And the answer is: No. She has no shame whatsoever. Hence her power among the willfully ignorant.

Pass the damn bill. Invoke the rule that will let you pass with a simple majority. Please get this country into the 21st century, and do what we voted you in to do!

...at least from the Great Beyond, how much damage he's done.

Screw them all and their obstructionist, pigbrained ways.

Please let it be that Obama is finally leading.

Screw the Republicans up their fascist asses. They have contributed exactly zero positive ideas. The status quo and the fat wallets of the insurance companies is not only just dandy with them, but being protected at all costs. They've betrayed the American people, and they need to be shoved aside.

For the life of me, and maybe I am missing some crucial part of my second X chromosome, I just cannot understand women who want absurdly elaborate weddings. Isn't the idea to celebrate with family and friends? What does $1500+ dress, ice sculptures, and a sit-down rubber chicken dinner for 300 have to do with that celebration?

The day before the wedding, we had an all-friends and family potluck party coordinated by a friend where that was her gift to us. We all had a fantastic time. We sprung for three kegs of top-line beer, nice wine, and other beverages. The day of the wedding we rented a European motor coach with couches, which took 20 of our close family and friends and my husband and me to the beach where we got married in our stocking feet. I was clad in my gorgeous $200 silk cream dress which I have worn many times since. There was not a dry eye on that beach. The motor coach then took us all to a beautiful seaside restaurant, the meal there being the greatest expense, $1000 for meal, champagne and cake for all of us.

WTF is the defect that makes women want to be Bridezillas? It seems like a kind of madness to want to feed the monster that is the wedding extortion industry. Having a good wedding is simplicity itself. Focus on what you are doing and connecting with the people you love most, and the most important things, and leave the Disney princess crap back in your Barbie childhood where it belongs. In other words, grow the f up.

Gotta give him some points for stick-to-it-iveness.

...and you guys just had to blare a headline about Limblob's foreskin?

*huuuuulllrlp*

Thanks a LOT Salon.

But the Dems have no spine to do it, much less the boundless chutzpah that allows the GOP to spout as it routinely does.

As has been pointed out, its a scary thing when it's hard to discern hyperbolic satire like this as such, given how crazy the right wing loons have become.

But... what's even scarier is that some right wing loon is likely to take this article, post it as fact on their frothing blog, and the meme will metastasize throughout the loon-o-sphere, and end up as talking points on Hannity.

Nature may abhor a vacuum, but it appears not to abhor dirt-dumb assclowns.

All that work doing the "wifely duties" of BJs and back door action, and this dude doesn't remember? At long last, where is chivalry?

Which is a lot more than most of the right wing garbage will ever do. Every time there is a new low, these scum sink even lower.
