Too Progressive

I’ll be sending them a cleaning bill for the soda I spit all over my desk when I watched this. “..and we’ll all probably die.” Classic.

This is what dropping out of high school gets you…

On being told advised by the McCain/Palin campaign not to speak to the media, Bristol Palin’s future husband, Levi Johnston said this:

“They’re not telling me anything right now,” Johnston said as he checked his Blackberry. “It’s pretty chill.”

His unborn son’s future:

“I’m looking forward to having him,” he said. “I’m going to take him hunting and fishing. He’ll be everywhere with me.”

On his hilarious MySpace page:

For starters, he said his much-maligned MySpace page was a joke — the one that claimed he said: “I’m a … redneck,” and “I don’t want kids.” Johnston said his friends created the page a few years ago and he had nothing to do with it.

Okay first of all, you had a mullet until the McCain campaign swooped in and forced you to clean yourself up so there is no denying the redneck bit. Second, “my friends did it” is the oldest excuse in the book when it comes to trying to hook up on the internets.

And my favorite of them all, here’s what he had to say on attending the Republican convention:

“At first, I was nervous,” he said. “Then I was like, ‘Whatever.’”

Snapped these last night during Countdown on MSNBC.  LOL!!

Ha ha, via Wonkette:

Thank you to tipster “Terry” for sending us this picture of his teevee displaying the latest sophomoric hijinks from liberal MSNBC. It’s downright immoral the way they keep insulting Hillary Clinton like this.

Tina Fey and Amy Poehler were on point during last night’s opening sketch of the Saturday Night Live season premier.

While this was obviously meant for entertainment purposes, it’s alarming how close to the truth some of the Palin “jokes” really are.  Read also: “Palin knows about foreign policy because Russia is right next door to Alaska” (hence Fey stating “I can see Russia from my house”) and Sarah Palin’s creationist point of view (hence the dinosaurs joke).

In response to this video posted by Cobalt6, let’s all have a good laugh at Bill O’Reilly to close out a hot and humid Saturday in the Imperial District (video is NSFW):

Republicans get more and more batshit crazy with each and every passing moment.  I would like to note though that they’ve dropped the term “liberal” when attacking the media.  Perhaps they realize that Americans are no longer scared of being proud open minded people who are free from bigotry?

Republican party poster boy George W. Bush holds up the American flag the wrong way at the 2008 Olympics in Beijing, China:

In the words of Keith Olbermann, “everything looks perfect from his point of view.”

I can’t really tell if this is supposed to be “serious” or if the reporter was just being sarcastic (probably both) but I found it hilariously funny none-the-less:

CBS News’ John Bentley, who’s covering the John McCain campaign, reports that McCain flies in a slightly smaller Boeing 737, which has four compartments: the first class area, where he sits; the “straight talk” area for interviews; a business class section for staffers; and the back of the plane, where the press and secret service sit.

In McCain’s spacious first class area, there are 12 plush leather seats for the candidate, his wife and senior staffers. The “straight talk” area features a long leather bench and another first class seat which McCain sits in when he talks to the press – or would, if he used the area.

So John McCain is turning his back on his one time BFF(s) the media?

And now for a break from the typical political discussion because this is just too hilarious not to share:

Bill Clinton, that is. Some Thursday morning humor for the masses:

After spending two months accompanying his wife, Hillary, on the campaign trail, former president Bill Clinton announced Monday that he is joining the 2008 presidential race, saying he “could no longer resist the urge.”

“My fellow Americans, I am sick and tired of not being president,” said Clinton, introducing his wife at a “Hillary ‘08″ rally. “For seven agonizing years, I have sat idly by as others experienced the joys of campaigning, debating, and interacting with the people of this great nation, and I simply cannot take it anymore. I have to be president again. I have to.”

Clinton also noted that, if elected, the timing would be perfect for his family, as his wife has recently expressed a desire to move back to the D.C. area.

I looked for this the other day, but couldn’t find it, thankfully though, it has turned up on YouTube (where else?). It’s a parody of Hillary Clinton appearing on Hardball with Chris Matthews after announcing that she will be running for President in 2008. Enjoy…

I don’t know what to make of this but it’s hilarious, none the less. The “America First Party” posted the following “breaking news” on their website earlier today:

Abortion Leads to Nuclear War

Boulder, CO - It is the 34th anniversary of that sad day when respect for the sanctity of innocent human life was cast aside by the Supreme Court. Since the Roe vs. Wade decision, about 50 million have been “terminated,” destroying a generation of Americans.

Our Founding Fathers knew that all men are created equal and that they are endowed with “unalienable rights,” among those being the Right to Life. The Declaration of Independence recognizes the right to life, and that it originates with God, not man.

The “press release” went on to say:

“Abortion is one of the greatest evils,” stated National Chairman Jonathan Hill. “The abortion movement has undermined a basic element of civilized society — the principle that all innocent human life should be protected. Unfortunately, this diminishment of respect for human dignity has a ripple effect: it fosters violence within families, the local community, and nations. The philosophy behind abortion on demand has affected our national character, and this can have a subtle influence on foreign policy. As Mother Teresa of Calcutta said, ‘abortion leads to nuclear war.’”

Wow, obsess much?
