…it’s pathetic, really, truly, in a “Look at the rabbits, Lenny” kind of way, how now, with Ted Kennedy dead and the Chappaquiddick arrows gone, Coulter’s quiver of reference points is getting emptier and emptier. All she’s really got left is passive aggressive Bill Clinton sex remarks. Reading her columns these days, now that she’s been out-batshitted by Glenn Beck and out-babed by Sarah Palin, is not unlike listening to a toothless meth addicted woman at a bar tell you how hot she used to be and won’t you please let her suck your dick for a dollar.

Go. Read. Laugh: The Rude Pundit

[Anti-healthcare reform] is a bullshit movement. Oh, sure, there’s real emotions and real people… It’s a bullshit movement because it’s based on bullshit. It’s impossible to have a rational discussion when your opponent is merely throwing lies at you. This is not a fair fight because the people running the discussion at this point, the media, are allowing it to be so. It’s like we agreed to play baseball and an opposing player ran onto the field with a football, spiked, yelled “Touchdown,” and the umpires said, “We’ll allow it. Six points. Who’s up to bat?”

Is there a less legitimate news outlet than the New York Post?

In an article cleverly titled “Tail to the Chief” (that headline writer’s parents must be so proud), the New York Post echoes Matt Drudge in claiming that Obama was caught looking at a 17-year-old’s butt at the G8 summit in Italy.

Alas, the truth rears its ugly head as it turns out the picture is a freeze-frame of a video that actually shows Obama turning to help a woman down the steps. Even Fox News, infamous for its deceitful cropping and/or misrepresentation of any quote, picture or video of President Obama, debunked this nonsense when reliable wingnut Greta van Susteren described it as a “lying picture that’s going around the Web.”

Even after said debunking by van Susteren, other shows and personalities on Fox continue to harp on this non-story.

As usual, my favorite commentary comes from the Rude Pundit:

When we in Left Blogsylvania laughed our asses off at Bush’s stupid facial expression when he couldn’t open a Chinese door or when he massaged the shoulders of the leader of another country, it was because he actually did those things.

UPDATE: Still going. And the right-wing analysis just gets worse and worse.

Here’s what bipartisanship meant to Republicans: let’s say a Republican and a Democrat are stuck on a desert island. The Republican knows how to survive in the wild, the Democrat knows how to build a raft. They need each other, right? They’re stuck there, and while they may hate each other, they gotta work together or they’re gonna die on the island. While the Democrat is, you know, building the raft, the Republican is gathering coconuts, keeping the fire lit, you know, that kind of shit. It’s all nice and cooperative. And then, when the raft is done, the Republican slits the throat of the Democrat, eats his flesh, drinks his blood, and uses his bones and his clothes for a sail. Bye-bye, island.

The very existence of Dick Cheney has turned more people into atheists than all the storms and wars in history, for if something that degraded and hideous is allowed to not only live, but thrive, then there can be nothing we might call “God” in the universe.

A real, genuine protest never occurs when someone gets a license from the city to do so. No, that’s, at best, a march, but mostly just a jerk-off fest… A real protest should fuck up somebody’s day and force the government to choose sides. A real protest should be led by people for whom the issue being protested is a life-changing situation. And a real protest should quickly and easily crystallize something that deeply matters to a large number of people. In the last couple of decades, legitimately in-yer-fuckin’-face protest has been hard to come by…

Like the Rude Pundit, I stand (or sit) with members of Local 1110 of the United Electrical, Radio and Machine Workers of America.

Today is the Rude Pundit‘s birthday. We wish him well.

I love his work and have often quoted him on my humble little blog.

Experience? Are you fucking kidding me, Jim? Let’s get that out of the way real quick. The Crypt Keeper over there chose as a running mate a fucking idiot who couldn’t find Pakistan on a map even if it had a giant cock-shaped neon arrow pointing at it saying, ‘It’s here, bitch.’ A fucking moose-slaughtering tool who thinks that Russia gives a happy monkey fuck about Alaska. So let’s just shove that thought aside. And as for experience, that dead Eisenhower-looking motherfucker’s been around DC for three decades, and his party had no holds barred power for six of the last eight. Where did that get us? No, no, fuck that.

Unlike the nutzoid Republicans who are flipping out over McCain, if Clinton does manage to become the nominee, this blog will support her like control top panty hose.

Ari Fleischer, a man who, even if Truth was an armless war orphan who had seen both her parents disemboweled and hung by their own intestines, would bend it over his lectern and rape it in front of the gathered press (who would dutifully report that Truth was asking for it with her seductive tears)…
