Mark Sanford Resigns
Thought: Mark Sanford resigns as governor sometime between now (7-2-09 @ 10:28 p.m. ET) and Saturday morning. He (and the GOP) know that the “liberal media” will spend the weekend on Michael Jackson while squeezing in a minute here and there to salute “the troops” and “the flag”.
After MJ’s memorial service on Tuesday, Sanford will be history, what with the “liberal media” focusing on MJ’s money and the “custody battle” over his kids.
And, that will be that.
Terrorific
Imagine walking out onto this balcony,
and looking down on this:
Does this challenge our primal senses or what? I love it for that reason.
Could you, would you, do it? I don’t think I would.
Pig-Out on the 4th of July: Mississippi Bacon Mayonnaise
Ignore this, plunge in and slap “Mississippi Bacon Mayonnaise” all over everything.
Mississippi Bacon Mayonnaise? OMG. Sounds delicious. Wish I’d never heard of it.
Karl Rove — What Would He Do Without Fox?
Here are his “upcoming media appearances:”
Al Franken as a Doofus — Only on Fox
This picture is above the fold on the FoxNation.com home page right now:
Click on the picture and you’re sent to Newsmax: Franken: “I’m Not Going to Waste This Chance.”
Agreed, Al Franken has a history but my point is, if he were a Republican, that would all be forgotten and Fox “News” would depict him in a dignified, statesman-like way.
Does Jenny Sanford Have a Say in This?
Today there’s a lot of talk on the MSM about Mark Sanford’s new assignment — trying to “fall back in love with his wife.”
Hello. What about his wife? Does she have a say in this? Does SHE want to “fall back in love” with HIM?!
Sex Scandal Management: Don’t Violate the Rules!
Did you know there are “rules” for “sex scandal management?” I didn’t either but Fox says there are:
As usual, with Fox, it isn’t about the act or the facts, it’s about the peripheral stuff that it throws out as a distraction….unless, that is, the subject is a Democrat.
Chicken Shit Neocon Quote of the Day
John Bolten, the guy who cheered us into Iraq and who was, sort of, Bush’s ambassador to the U.N., wrote an op-ed today in the Washington Post urging Israel — somebody, anybody! — to bomb Iran. Never mind that there are a handful of Mullahs over there controlling a population that desperately wants change, so exactly how Bolton suggests killing just those people without harming innocent citizens is beyond me. And why he isn’t embracing the movement that’s happening there now, rather than urging that we bomb, which would undoubtedly bring the entire country together against, ah, us, is also beyond me. I mean, you know, no matter how fractured the population, people just don’t like it when another country bombs their own.
But, then again, these cracko neonuts don’t and apparently can’t think beyond their own macho desire to imagine very loud bangs and to think of people being blown up and terrorized and — they fantasize — cowering in homage to the cons — the wise risk-takers that they imagine themselves to be.
So really, how brave and macho is John Bolton in real life? The brat was ensconced at Yale while 50,000+ of his peers died in Vietnam but as for him? He “confesses” that “I had no desire to die in a Southeast Asian rice paddy.” As if all those poor American boys and girls did?
And what about the Iranians?
Checking in With Fox’s “Green” Blog
Yes, even Fox “News” (which is the biggest anti-global warming megaphone out there) has gotten in on the “green revolution.” Yep, the cynical opportunists set up a blog, well, sort of. The last post is dated June 25.
It’s better to look good than to be good I guess.
The Washington Post Stabs Itself in the Heart
The Washington Post was on life support before today but this morning it committed suicide. Since when do you sell access to reporters? It’s truly shocking and it’s reflects the absolute corruption of all the tenants of journalism. (Here is the Code of Ethics from the Society of Professional Journalists.) I will never again trust a single thing I read there.
Thank God They Lost
CBS got a hold of some emails that depict Sarah Palin fighting with her staff. Thank God they lost. I can’t imagine this kind of juvenile bickering consuming the Vice President’s time when there is so much work to be done.
