I saw the interview...

... and came to the conclusion that Reid is under heavy sedation. I'm sure that deep down he's a very nice, decent man but he is not operating on all cylinders. Has anyone checked for lobotomy scars?

Perhaps Lieberman has scanadalous photographs of Harry drinking coffee and smoking cigarettes, or a receipt that proves he wears Fruit of the Looms instead of magic Mormon underwear. Right after we've marched the Republican leadership to the Hague or the gallows, our next step is getting our Democratic leadership into intensive psychotherapy.

@ L.W.M.

"liberal firebrands like Barbara Boxer"

I laughed until I cried, probably because I'm old enough to remember when words had meanings.

The Mighty Mustache of Malignancy

If Tom Friedman wants war with Iraq, let him fight it himself (financed by his wife's millions.)

Mr. Friedman and the New York Times, SUCK. ON. THIS.

It's a start...

Now, if he'd just agree to stop eating, drinking and breathing until our troops come home.

Original article: NARAL endorses Obama

I'm shocked to learn...

...that Hillary is still pro-choice. Do the white, hard-working Hillarepublicans know?

On the other hand, I'm sure she'd be willing to change in time for the convention.

I'll probably be coming back to it later.

Please don't bother. They need you at McCain headquarters, and then you've got that Klan meeting later this evening.

Original article: Mississippi turning

Oh, joy! Rapture!

The only thing that can save this country from those pro-war, corporatist, anti-labor, anti-gay, pro-gun, anti-choice, Bible-thumping Republicans are more pro-war, corporatist, anti-labor, anti-gay, pro-gun, anti-choice, Bible-thumping Democrats. And I'm sure Hillary would agree.

Original article: Bush seems to attack Obama

Who would know better...

...about talking to and appeasing Hitler than a member of the Bush family? W's grandfather Prescott is practically the poster boy for American collaboration with the Nazis.

@jpetty

Which party are you talking about? You're a Republican. Neither Barack Obama nor the vast majority of Americans would touch your party with a ten-foot pole.

"The National Interest is published by the Nixon Center"

The article's disclaimer is more relevant and informative than O'Hanlon's sorry, defensive whine.

Who needs Limbaugh's "Operation Chaos"...

... when we've got so many Hillarepublicans willing to throw America under the bus -- specifically, the "Straight Talk Express".

Thanks, Amity!

All of America's 43 non-white presidents salute your perspicacity.

Good luck with your civil and personal rights under McCain's Spanish Inquisition -- I mean, Supreme Court.

@ShawnWM

Why not just get it over with and start screaming "nigger-nigger-nigger" like the vile Rushbot you are?

Of course Taylor Marsh is outraged!

If you were nothing but Michelle Malkin's brain under Amy Winehouse's wig, you'd be outraged too!

Ralph Nader positively SLAUGHTERED George Clooney in the 200 election!

Now, if you point out that George Clooney's name wasn't on the ballot, you're just a Commie Muslim Racist Sexist Obamabot.

I am a constituent and former enthusiastic supporter of Sen. Clinton. By 2006, after her vote to authorize the war in Iraq, her outrageous anti-flag-burning amendment and her constant capitulations to the Republican right, I voted for her ONLY because she is nominally a Democrat.

She can expect to face a passionate and vigorous challenge if/when she runs for reelection here in New York.

My theory

Check to see where Fallon's wife, children and pets are right now. I suspect they're currently being "held" in a "secure undisclosed location" and Fallon will say whatever he's told to say if he wants to see them alive again.

Original article: More delegates for Obama

As my grandmother used to say...

...turnips grow with their heads in the ground. Keep that in mind when evaluating the credibility of certain commenters.

The "Saudi Arabia of Renewable Foods"?!?!?!?!

I thought MInnesota was the "Valhalla of Wide-Stance Closet Queens."

I'd like to thank Harriet Christian

I suspect the wide dissemination of her remarks is what put Obama over the top in delegates today. Bravo, you repulsive old bigot.

"But tell me why it is that Italian horror maestros love to gouge out women's eyes or disembowel them or worse, run stakes through their orifices?"

Perhaps you've heard of an obscure little organization called the Catholic Church?

In Soviet Union, television watches YOU!

Pretty soon Yakov Smirnoff will be able to dust off his old act, change all the USSR reference to the USA, and tour the former Soviet republics to huge acclaim.

Original article: Strange but true

What a weak season for new Broadway musicals!

Oh, rock music on Broadway! What a novelty! It's only been 40 years since "Hair," and Broadway musicals had already been sampling rock'n'roll since the '50s. "Passing Strange" might have seemed fresh and original 25 years ago; I found it tired, clumsy, self-indulgent and ear-splitting (it's amplified as if the small theatre was an arena!) It's also playing to half-empty houses, and a significant portion of the audience walks out cursing the critics who praised it. In a healthier Broadway season, it would be a footnote.

But the sad fact is, none of this year's other contenders are any better.

@ Math Buff

Michael Reagan is Ronald Reagan's son from his first marriage to Jane Wyman. Ron Reagan is his son from his second marriage to Nancy Davis. Please check your facts.

Jeff (James) Gannon (Guckert) will be there too!

He's a real journalist who got unfettered access to the White House! And he can be rented even cheaper than the National Press Club!

@ paul_lukasiak

Funny, I was just thinking that with Hillary out of the presidential race, she has plenty of time (and leftover energy) to lead on this issue.

Where is she? What is she doing about it? All I hear are crickets.

Perhaps she's working on another anti-flag-burning amendment, or ramping up to support another illegal, unjustified war.

Once again, my Senator -- whom I campaigned and voted for -- has let me and my country down. It's why I couldn't support her run for the presidency and why I'll support her Democratic challenger if she runs for re-election to the Senate.

Friday, June 20, 2008 09:09 AM

@ paul_lukasiak

"Where's Hillary?" was a rhetorical question. I know exactly where she is -- sucking up to the Republican right, exactly where she's been since I regrettably helped get her elected to the Senate.

Perhaps if she chose to lead on an issue like this, she would be the Democratic nominee today. Perhaps if she picked up the baton right now, she'd sweep into the convention on a wave of grateful grassroots support and have a chance at an upsetting the nomination.

But that would require courage, integrity and leadership, wouldn't it?

Original article: How gay it would be

Are you retarded, or just a hack?

And how does your son feel about having such a trite, inept writer for a parent?
