Politics

We often hear Republicans screaming about how liberals and Obama are making this country a Hell Hole of socialist totalitarianism. Screeching about how awful it all is to taxes and put up with Negroes and immigrants going wherever they please.

They often get so livid I can’t help but toss them the old canard of Love it or Leave it.

But there is a problem with that; where can these tens of millions of Republicans go that is more to the Right than here? South Africa changed long ago, Slobvia is under UN control and anywhere in Africa is out of the question. Which pretty much leaves only the Arab Theocracies. And even they have national health care. So there really isn’t a place all these unhappy Republicans to emigrate to. Well other than Giedi Prime and Mordor.

Get on board the A Train to Giedi Prime... Line forms behind Mr. Limbaugh...

Finally! Stephen explains the downfall of Mark Sanford, Bob Livingston, Larry Craig, and ol' Newtie Gingrich. Hint: It started with the rightous and moral speaking out against that naughty boy Bill Clinton! Digg | Reddit | Stumble | Buzz it! | Email Article |

David Shuster is joined by Richard Wolffe of Newsweek who describes what is revealed about the 2008 McCain/Palin campaign by Palin's emails to McCain's Chief Campaign Strategist, Steve Schmidt. This was an exchange over just one topic, where she refuses to see the excellent advice Schmidt is giving her, assuredly more will follow.

It does demonstrate that her nebulous relationship with the truth is one of long standing, and her mountain out of a mole-hill debacle with David Letterman is par for the course. Digg | Reddit | Stumble | Buzz it! | Email Article |

Comedy Central's Stephen Colbert gives Davis a Tip o' The Hat as only he can. With tongue planted firmly in cheek, he applauds her callousness toward hungry American children, something for which she has appeared on "Worst" very recently. Since Davis feels hunger is a positive motivator, Stephen makes a suggestion which may well improve and motivate Davis! Also revealed is another business she owns, which doesn't seem to be representative of her views. Truly a Don't Miss! Digg | Reddit | Stumble | Buzz it! | Email Article |

David Shuster, sitting in for Keith Olbermann, leads a discussion about the Republican party, which is crumbling under the hypocrisy of their latest two great hopes for 2012. He is joined by strategists from both parties, who comment on recent actions and suggested ways to save the party if possible. The GOP ethics chairman has asked Sanford to step down, as have others who are talking to him behind the scenes. They still live in an enchanted land where they believe his future depends upon his relationship with his wife. I believe he put that dream to rest with his announcement that he still loves his mistress.He did give lip service to "doing the right thing" with all of the enthusiasm of a two-year-old confronted by boiled cabbage.

When it was revealed in Vanity Fair that top McCain aides had concerns ranging from post partum depression, a severe personality disorder, willful ignorance and refusal to become informed, among other things that we're assured make this the very tip of the problems, Palin chose to fight back. That is why I saw her lacing on her running shoes this morning and challenging the President to a race! I suspect she wishes to select the trail, far out in the Alaskan wilderness, and am glad he is much too busy for such foolishness. She claims her problems on the campaign trail came down to one thing only...."Sweat" as she told Runner's Weekly, and no other publication! "It's my sanity, and the McCain crew refused to carve out time for my runs." Well, that explains her wacky behavior, now if we can come up with an equally lame one for Sanford's hypocrisy - the Republicans are still screwed, but what a show!

Senator Ensign, Senator Sanford, that creepy little Jindal character... Even God's very own chosen Bimbo Sarah Palin may be in error and wrong and failed, but are human beings with not a few likable features in their package. Each can generate a bit of "it could have been me" pathos to their personalities. Which is why it so very important to ignor them and put Newt Gingrich, Rush Limbaugh and Dick Cheney on the front page of Republicans Today!

There is not one "redeeming social value" to any of these Riders of the Apocalypse. No pleasant physical features, nothing kind or pleasant or nice about them, the reek of inflated egos and represent everything that is wrong not only with Republicanism, but with the human condition as well.

But I must say even with shooting a friend in the face, there is ONE THING good about Dick Cheney; he supports Gay Marriage. I cannot find anything at all good about the other two. Please RNC, keep the images of these three nasty old white men up front and center.

Gold: San Diego County Sheriff Deputy Marshall Abbott takes home the Golden Gloves, bullying douche bag award! Watch Keith Olbermann in Worst Persons in the World, as he relays what constituted a good enough reason for Abbot to enter the home of Shari Barman, hosting a group of sixty-something aged women, twist her shoulder which was recovering from surgery until she lie on the ground writhing in pain, do the same with another woman, arrest two, and pepper spray the rest. It is speculated that the fact that they were fund-raising (albeit quietly), for Congressional Candidate Francine Busby who once challenged Rep Duke Cunningham may have had something to do with the neighbor's unwarrently call and the brutality.

Silver Shaddup Already: To Rush Limbaugh! Today he's worked up about the 'new' idea of presidential term limits, as brought up by Congressman Jose Sarano of New York. What Rush fails to remember, is that Sarano, who wishes to limit the term to two years, attempted to introduce it three times during the seemingly endless era of the Bush admistration! Watch Keith to see how Rush ties this in with getting rid of the 22nd amendment, and "all of the things President Obama's already done." Methinks he was never truly concerned about exactly who played fast and loose with the Constitution and Bill of Rights.

Bronze: Sarah Palin, but I'm framing this issue of Vanity Fair! It's priceless. At long last McCain aides admit worry over the mental state of McCain's running mate, while on the Batty Bus Tour. Her "Little shop of horrors" is mentioned. Not to give all of the fun away, but one incident which caused wonder came when Palin found time to announce the birth of her baby. She emailed her friends belatedly, but it was okay. You see, the email was signed "Trig's Creator, Your Heavenly Father." I could tell she felt she was All that and a bag of chips, but Gosh!

There is an old saying; If you find yourself in a hole, stop digging!" The "Wild Bull Of The Pampas" cannot seem to STFU, though no one had asked him to further elaborate on his indiscretions. Perhaps he's merely bragging? My burning question is what do these women see in him? Please, if anyone has a clue, please let me in on it!

Soon, I'll follow my own advice, and leave you in the very capable hands of Keith and the always delightful Eugene Robinson, Associate Editor of the Washington Post. Fun Fact: Robinson, originally from So. Carolina can testify that Mr. Family Values is Governor of a state where adultery will get you 6 months of jail time and a hefty fine! Why we should believe Sanford's revised story is as questionable as is his desire to tell all, after bashing every politician with so much as a question of immorality!

In short, we know that he lied (poorly) about hiking the Appalachian Trail on Dad's Day, and annual nude hiking day,while vanishing from his office, without telling staffers how to reach him. His Four trysts with Ms. Argentina, morphed today into Seven international tax-payer funded trips. Not all travel was to Argentina however. The two met a number of times I've lost track of, "sparking" in New York City for "multiple nights." Perhaps he said he was attending a Promise Keepers meeting?

Brace yourself, it gets better. More astonishing is his admission of a "handful of women" with whom he "let his guard down." This guy is not Brad Pitt in case you haven't noticed!

I wonder if the GOP is still sticking by yesterday's proviso that if Mrs. Sanford forgave him, they would have no problems forgiving and forgetting? .I'd say the chances of the rather cheerful looking Mrs. Sanford tells that story! Digg | Reddit | Stumble | Buzz it! | Email Article |
