Come for the politics, stay for the snark.
Ron Radosh at PJ Media reacts to the Nobel prize news to… insist Bill Ayers will write Obama’s acceptance speech, just as he did his books.
Is it too much to hope that one day, beltway wankers like Chip Reid will realize that Bush Derangement Syndrome was just projection, and that they will begin to understand that the Republican party is not filled with rational actors.
I’m worse off than I was yesterday. Thank god for fisherman’s friend and Vicks vaporizers.
The nutters have now had 24 hours to react to the Nobel Prize. Will they pull themselves together and stop acting like jerks? Will one of the elder statesmen in the party tell them they can’t turn it up to 11 all the time without looking insane? Has anyone figured out in the GOP that while Obama may not deserve the Nobel (and I happen to be one who thinks it was premature and he definitely did not deserve it), the only person you can’t blame for getting the award is Obama?
We shall see.
Thank you, Jezebel, for a much-needed LOL…
Happy weekend, y’all!
I’m busy huffing the sweet menthol fumes from a Vicks vaporizer as I hack and cough up whatever I have now.
In light of the fact that it looks increasingly likely that a census worker was murdered in Kentucky a few weeks ago, this kind of rhetoric from a Congressman is really fucked up:
Rep. Jason Chaffetz (R-UT) took to the airwaves on Fox today to warn viewers of the rapists and child molesters he says will be coming to their doors courtesy of the U.S. government next year.
Speaking on “Studio B” this afternoon, Chaffetz responded to recent Senate testimony from a GAO official who said it was “possible” that improper fingerprinting procedures at the Census Bureau led to the hiring of somewhere around 200 temporary census workers “with extensive criminal records.” The official said the bureau had dismissed 750 of 1,800 temporary workers it hired last year with criminal records after reviewing details of the workers’ cases.
This is just disgusting.
You all do see the next freak-out, don’t you? It is just painfully obvious to me.
They won’t like the charity Obama is going to give the Nobel money, and will probably spend a week “investigating” (translation- furiously googling while high on cheeto dust and mountain dew) the charity for terrorist or unAmerican links. God help anyone on the charity’s Board who has a French sounding name.
