Good-bye, Vito. Yeah, we know. You need to spend time with your families.

Unmotivated
Tons of stuff to blog about, but very little interest in blogging, so some quick links instead.
1.) Obama tells folks to back off his wife, internet tough guy right-wing bloggers say “Hell, no!” No mention what the trollop thinks of all this.
2.) Big money Clinton backers allegedly try to buy some votes.
3.) Apparently McCain went on SNL to tell us how old he is. Duly noted.
4.) Pens are headed to the Stanley Cup.
5.) Bill Kristol, still dumb as a sack of hammers. I am noticing a trend here. Kristol claims government is inefficient, ineffective, and bad, gets a bunch of his buddies elected, and proves it. He also rails against the MSM, claims they can’t get their facts straight, gets a job at the NY Times, and proves it.
6.) Clinton campaign distributes a memo using language that creates an image of violence against women. Presumably, we are all misogynists for reading it.
I read somewhere that Geraldine Ferraro is now threatening to vote against Obama in the fall. Can we start ignoring her now?
Headline Double-Take
When I first saw this headline, McCain addresses economy in Obama’s backyard, I actually had to read the story to assure myself that McCain didn’t hire Michelle Malkin and company and, you know, really set up shop in Obama’s actual backyard.
Straight Talking in Circles
Ouch:
Robert Greenwald takes McCain to task for a few of his about faces. Maybe Hillary is staying in to take McCain’s spot when he is forced to drop out?
speaking for me only. I am not saying this to be snarky, but merely to point out that I am not John. Well, actually the last sentence is supposed to be snarky, but not the italicized part.
Link whatcha got. Open Thread
More of This, Please
Run, Vito, run:
There has been nothing but silence coming from the embattled Staten Island congressman, Vito J. Fossella, regarding his plans to run for re-election this year. And that uncertainty has caused waves of concern not only among Republicans in New York City, but in Washington as well.
All signs indicate that Mr. Fossella, a Republican who was arrested in Virginia on May 1 on a drunken driving charge and then admitted to fathering a child out of wedlock, is leaning toward running for a sixth term in November. He has been telling friends and advisers that he thinks he can win. And though he canceled a fund-raiser scheduled for this past weekend, he has five or six events planned for the coming month, his spokeswoman said.
And on Saturday, he marched in the Memorial Day Parade in the Great Kills section of the island. He was greeted warmly while marching and while sitting on a platform with other politicians at the end of the route.
I support this decision.
Pens v. Flyers
Crosby is just sick.
Sick, I say. That steal setting up the third goal was just, well, silly.
*** Update ***
It is now 6-0, and the fans are now openly taunting the Flyers.
Also, He Never Apologized For Lots Of Other Stuff He Didn’t Do Either, So He Must Be An Asshole
Libby has the right take on this “POWERFUL” youtube video that Blake Fleetwood is begging us all to watch- it is nothing more than a hit piece on Obama. Otherwise, I am not sure why anyone thinks it is fair or appropriate to seem to beg Obama to apologize for a bunch of jackasses holding up an “Iron my shirt” sign at a Hillary event. Same for the rest of the crap attributed unfairly to Obama in the “powerful” youtube video.
Maybe this is just the more rabid wing of the Clinton supporters moving into the anger phase.
