First there’s this reference to the “Statute” of Liberty in a tweet: We’ll highlight the beauty of legal immigrants’ work ethic and love of freedom while visiting Ellis Island & Statute of Liberty today. And then there’s these fine examples of mush-mouthed inanity, courtesy of Bob Cesca: “This Statue of Liberty was gifted to us by foreign leaders, really as […]

It’s not that Sarah Palin is a birther, not that she’d admit in public anyway. It’s that she thinks President Obama is a liar. And she’s cheering on The Donald from the sidelines for resurrecting questions about the mythical Obama birth certificate. I think that he was born in Hawaii because there was the birth announcement put in the newspaper. […]

Now that all eyes are on Sarah Palin waiting for her to respond to accusations that she has a role to play in the amount of political violence in our country recently , she steps into the fray and does something else completely idiotic. In a video comment/response released on her Facebook page today, she had this to say: “Vigorous […]

Sarah Palin now claims her use of the word “refudiate” was a “typo”. She is, of course, a bald-faced liar. “I pressed an ‘f’ instead of a ‘d’ and people freaked out,” says Ms. Palin, in a clip being broadcast on her reality TV show. ~SNIP~ [T]he record suggests the original Twitter message was no typo. In fact, she had […]

The Mudflats blog revealed an email yesterday from Alaskan Senate hopeful and all around teabagger, Joe Miller. Turns out there’s a little trouble in paradise Alaska between Miller the Teabagger and Sarah Palin the Teabagger Annointer. Sarah promoted him (since he was the the teabagger candidate) and Joe Miller found a way to piss her off. The email in question […]

This kinda restores a bit of my faith. Literally. More than 40 prominent Christian, Jewish and Muslim leaders and religion scholars issued a statement today condemning the “xenophobia and religious bigotry” fueling the increasingly strident opposition to a proposed Islamic center and mosque near Ground Zero. These leaders from New York City and across the country are specifically challenging the […]

Most news outlets are reporting that the Teabagger Clown Show in the DesertTM drew about 9,000 people. That’s pretty righteous, considering they were out in the middle of nowhere on a dusty, windblown plot of desert land and it was COLD! I’ll give the Teabaggers credit for their enthusiasm if nothing else. There’s a great wrap-up with some terrific pictures […]

Aw, Jebus. Dear Lord baby Jebus: (H/T Think Progress) WALLACE: How hard do you think President Obama would be to defeat in 2012? PALIN: It depends on a few things, say he played — I got this from Buchanan — say he played the war card. Say he decided to declare war on Iran or decide to really come out […]

First it was Rahm Emanuel calling liberal activists “fucking retarded” last summer. That earned a sharp rebuke from Sarah Palin this past week when she called for his head on her Facebook page: I would ask the president to show decency in this process by eliminating one member of that inner circle, Mr. Rahm Emanuel, and not allow Rahm’s continued […]

Cross-posted at Blogging For Michigan. As I sit here in frigid Michigan this morning, I’m contemplating the state of our state. And pondering if we are, perhaps, a bellwether for the rest of the country, particularly in terms of Democrats and our political future. It’s a mixed bag in Michigan, to be sure. As I blogged about last week, there’s […]

Sarah Palin is in Michigan today. Lucky us. Her devotees started lining up last night, in fact. The Sarah! Bus – photo by Rex Larsen | The Grand Rapids Press Why Michigan? Well, according to Palin, it’s because Michigan is where she first “went rogue”. [Michigan is] “the state where I ‘went rogue’ trying to reach out to during the […]
