Inmate Duke Cunningham & Jailhouse pals Rock the Vote for Newt!

Visit msnbc.com for breaking news, world news, and news about the economy

Old friends are the best friends, or so Hallmark reminds us. Why then does Gingrich appear to be getting a migraine when Duke Cunningham's name is mentioned?

Obviously serving 8 years for federal bribery hasn't decreased Cunningham's interest in politics, or dimmed his love for the Newtster. Cunningham obviously has leadership skills among the other inmates. He can deliver 80% of the jailhouse vote to Gingrich - and that is a lot when you consider friends and family too!

Newt would do well to thank Duke profusely and share some of that notorious charm and gratitude. When his moon colonization is settled 'by the end of my second term' Duke could lead his prison clan - who are unable to obtain jobs due to prison records - could be the settlers. Like Australia was for 19th Century England.

Finally, Trent Frank tells Chris Matthews how much Jan 'Rude Finger Pointing Racist Beach' Brewer is loved in Arizona.

Pat Sajack & Vanna White powered Wheel of Fortune drunk on Tequilla!

No wonder Pat and Vanna always looked so cheerful and at ease as millions of Americans welcomed them into their homes. The smiling duo were bombed out of their gourds! While Vanna's gowns were the water cooler talk of the nation, it is now revealed the pair were lucky to remain upright.

RJ Adds: Pat Sajak is a conservative activist who writes for Human Events (home of Ann Coulter) and National Review. He believes city, county, state and federal EMPLOYEES should not be allowed to vote. Which makes one wonder if he isn't drunk all the time.

Kimmel: They've put Jersey Shore in my Republican Debate!

The video appears to be the most recent Republican Debate, although to my jaded eye, the debates have all become remarkably similar. What's this? It seems that the televised sound-track was switched with 'Jersey Shore' and this was the result. Oddly it works! Fans of Jersey Shore are in for a treat next week! I wonder who Snookie will play? As the star, I'd think either Mitt or Newt - with The Situation as Callista, maybe?

New Rules Bill Maher, Saul Alinsky & The GOP Fantasy Obama, Jan 27 2012

Saul Alinsky wrote the book on being a COMMUNITY ORGANIZER to help poor urban blacks our of abject poverty and racism. No wonder Republicans hate him so much!

Yes the name under the picture is wrong.
Saul Bellow was a successful novelist who won the Pulitzer and the Nobel in the same year, 1976. In fact as a teenager I read one of his books that helped define my world view, Henderson the Rain King. Henderson's finds his life falling apart when he reaches his sixties. He travels to the African interior to find a village plagued by raining frogs. Using his own knowledge and a bit of science he finds the cause of the problem and fixes it to the joy of the tribe. His self esteem restored he enjoys an epiphany that life is to help others. So he returns to the United States and enters his first year of Medical School. YOU ARE NEVER TOO OLD TO LEARN OR CHANGE!

Jan Brewer's Finger

What is so sad about this picture is that as it moves through the Republican media, in their cubicles and from their desks they rise, knocking over their chairs in a frenzy giving it a standing ovation... JAN JAN JAN... I can hear from here...

Daily Show Aasif Mandvi, Supreme Court gives Sharia Law an OKAY

In a unanimous decision by the 6 Catholics and 3 Jews on the Supreme Court, they declared that churches in America can ignore the Americans with Disabilities Act and fire whom they please. A few months earlier the court declared that churches could fire anyone they pleased for most any reason and the employee has no grounds to sue.

This all going on while the GOP candidates (especially the holier than thou Newt Gingrich), Bill O'Reilly and Fox News scream about the raging War on Religion in America. Where 84% of us believe angels have our back. Where the most hated group by far are atheists, topping even Muslims and Europeans! In fact anyone would be hard pressed to name more than five declared American atheists. Let's see, that's about 320,000,000 to 5. War on religion my ass...

But this lie is the main reason millions of American morons vote Republican and against their own economic self interest. Well that and having "pickaninnies" in the White House. You know, the people the GOP wants to take the country back from.

Jon Stewart, Supreme Court on Sex OR Violence

I include this mostly for the potency of the ending...

The "sex" example here is not porn or even a simulated sex act. It is a few seconds of female nudity. It concerns a theme I have been dealing with for 20 years, sex OR violence in the media.

Here in America most of us are afraid to go for a walk at night. We are even afraid of having our children walk to school in the DAYTIME. We need to go buy guns because everyone is buying guns so we need bigger and better guns to survive. We are the murder capital of the industrialized world, a nation in a forever war somewhere or other. We spank, we paddle we execute. And the guns... Gush... 20 round clips for our pistols. 80 round clips for our rifles. Boxing, kick boxing, football, dog fighting, cock fights... We are the most violent first world nation on Earth.

All of it celebrated in America, but show a bare butt or a flash of a nipple and we got trouble, trouble right here in River City.

Lately with the GOP primaries most every day we hear about the worst place in the world, Europe! Where sex is all over prime time but little if any violence. And those welfare state socialist commies kids walk to school, the people take strolls downtown in the evenings, they wander around til dawn partying. 6 week vacations, empty prisons, free health care and a social net that keeps most everyone far enough above water to not have to buy a gun and sell drugs to survive. And now the GOP wants to take even food away from them. The most Christian of the GOP candidates, Michele Bachmann said let them starve. And she has a direct line with Jesus Christ!

Why is it that the most Christian nation on Earth has the most crime, the highest murder rate, the most violence and the most people in prison?

Any bets that if this clown became president and made the Moon our 51st state that he would incorporate his name into it? Like Hoover Dam. Gingrich's Moon? Planet Callistra?

Clueless Chris Christie says Southern referendums would have ended Jim Crow!

Visit msnbc.com for breaking news, world news, and news about the economy

Ed's choice of a Psychotalk winner today is never at a loss for words - often snarky loud words. It's basic knowledge - which should be easily found in an American history text, that evades him. Christie was on a roll after proclaiming that he would like to have a referendum on gay marriage on the ballot this November. (cue thunderous applause!) Christie then remarked that the same thing should have been done with civil rights. There was no need for all of that commotion and bloodshed down south...Sillies!

RJ Adds: And why is this excessive tub of conservative lard so popular with Republicans? Here is the exchange that make him the darling of the GOP and MSNBC's Morning Joe! Even Mika has been swept away by his hot body and charm.

“You don’t send your children to public schools. You send them to private schools, so I was wondering why you think it’s fair to be cutting funding to public schools?” Gail, a New Jersey constituent of Governor Christie

“Hey Gail, you know what, first of all it’s none of your business. I don’t ask you where you send your kids to school. Don’t bother me where I send mine.” The governor responded.

Played at any Republican gathering it gets a raucous standing ovation. Before this I had no idea that elected officials private lives have no business in the world of politics. Or that one can only ask questions that an elected official asks you. Needless to say, all this is who Republicans think. It's the nature of the Beast.

Andy Richter and Conan O'brien become Newt & Callista

As a potential First Lady, Callista is facing a fashion challenge. Stepping into the pumps of the First Lady means that like First Ladies before her, she will quite possibly set new trends and influence fashion. One look at Callista's hair swoop and I am in awe, how can we - at home hope to reproduce this immovable look? The platinum blonde bubble never moves, and obviously is unaffected by blasts of hot air, wind or other conditions which would cause the woman and the hair to wilt. Leave it to Conan and Andy Richter to get to the bottom of her hair secrets.

Better yet, as unlikely as it seems, a couple has surfaced who are exact doppelgangers of the Gingrich's! They say it's bad luck to meet your doppelganger, but I'd love to see these crazy kids get together for a photo-op!

Deon Cole's Tea Party slavery deal, Conan O'Brien

The idea presented by Hal Rounds, proud attorney for the Tennessee Tea-Dummies is too preposterous to take seriously. History and science books are a hash of revised silliness as it is, but the Tea Party would eliminate vast chunks of history involving slave ownership, and the less-than kindly treatment of Native Americans as well.

Needless to say, I was astonished when comedian Deon Cole - a Black American, saw a chance to benefit from the idea of erasing slavery on the part of the Founding Fathers. It turns out that there are a few things and people in recent black history that Cole wouldn't mind erasing from our collective memory as well. Truthfully, hadn't you almost forgotten about Milli Vanilli?

Jon Stewart, Mitch Daniels End of the world Response

If you watched Mitch Daniels rebuttal to President Obama's State of the Union speech the other night, you most likely fell asleep after the 15th time he referred to the debt, which was about 2 minutes into it. Though it was at first refreshing to hear someone from the GOP speaking as a grown up instead of those vying for the coveted Republican crown as most intolerant, bigoted clown in the Presidential pack! But it was also "shoot yourself" boring.

So we finally heard from the non Evangelical, non Tea Party, non Nut Cake country club side of the GOP.

It went on and on and on, AND ON, with all that trickle down supply side don't tax the rich, free market, job creating CRAP that has been proved to be crap now for 30 years.

I am no conspiracy wonk. I have never doubted it was one man with one gun from one suppository. But I am beginning to wonder if perhaps the Republican powers that be saw the biggest economic down turn in 80 years coming, but took the money and ran anyway.

Knowing that there shenanigans would cause a tremendous loss of tax revenues which in turn would increase the debt - they realized that they could then blame everything on the debt incurred while the Black guy was President. Then use that lie as the basis for their apocalyptic argument that we must above all give the wealthy "job creators" - who have destroyed tens of millions of jobs by sending their factories offshore and automating what is left - tax breaks and eliminate financial regulations to further increase the disparity of wealth so they can increase taxes on the the working poor, take what they can away from the old, the sick, the poor, minorities, the middle class and even children. Claiming they are defeating the horror of EUROPEAN SOCIALISM!

But you know, the real horror of it all is not so much pigs being pigs, but that about half the old, the sick, the poor the working poor and the middle class vote for the bastards.
