Wednesday’s Asshat of the Day
I’ve been away on special assignment (actually, just been busy putting together my agency’s annual financial report to Congress), but Asshat returns.
Like mother, like daughter, today’s winner is a bit of a loose canon, especially with her mouth. It seems that Willow Palin was upset that some stranger on Facebook dissed her mama’s show [...]

Not to be outdone, the people of Pheonix, AZ were quick to call foul over [...]

Shocking News: “Non-Partisan” Teabagging Pollster shows Teabagger Protack favorite of Teabaggers.
I am not surprised that Delaware’s Teabaggers have not learned their lesson, since they have extremely low IQs to begin and thus their learning ability is put into serious question.
