What the Government Shutdown Really Means
There has so much back and forth about what the shutdown of the Federal government really means, that I figured that as someone who stands to be furloughed, I would add in my two cents.
Besides the cancellation of the Cherry Blossom Parade, the shuttering of the Smithsonian, and the closing of parks and monuments, it [...]
Huckabee Tells A Lie – Which Will Become The Tea Party’s “Truth” In 5… 4… 3…
I honestly expected honesty from a former preacher who constantly plays up how moral and religious he is.
Mike Huckabee:
During a radio appearance yesterday, Mike Huckabee repeatedly falsely claimed that President Obama grew up in Kenya. After questioning Obama’s purported secrecy about the birth certificate, radio host Steve Malzberg asked Huckabee if “we [...]
Not Even Original Dreck
Many passages of George W. Bush’s new memoir were lifted from other books and articles. He even includes stories of events where he wasn’t present and passes them off as his own memories.

No-Show Bonini Getting Desperate
Colin “No-Show” Bonini must be getting desperate. Apparently he has sent a letter to state employees making some false claims about Chip Flowers (which is nothing new for Bonono). One of these claims is that Flowers will, if elected, not pay vendors or state employees based on his personal opinion. This has [...]

NPR Destroys Republican Talking Point
The media coverage of the health care reform debate has been quite frustrating because the coverage has not covered the substance of the debate. It’s been the typical “on one hand, on the other hand” type of coverage which has allowed Republicans to get away with telling outrageous lies about health care reform (death [...]

Newest 9/11 Revisionist – Rudy Giuliani?
I can’t believe Rudy Giuliani passed up the opportunity to talk about 9/11:
Rudy Giuliani, the man who was mayor of New York City during the 9/11 attacks, appeared on Good Morning America today to say President Obama should take lessons from former President George W. Bush on how to prevent a terrorist attack.
“What [Obama] [...]
2009: The Year in Right Wing Buffoons, Racists, Misogynists, Homophobes and All-Around Idiots
That is the title of this blog post from Ron Reagan’s Air America blog. I never get to to hear Ron Regan’s show, but he can be very good of even pretty wonky topics. So it was fun to hear him have on at the expense of wingnut buffoonery this past year.

Sarah Wins!
Biggest quitter? No. Biggest nitwit? No. Sarah Palin wins Politifact’s Lie of the Year contest for her “death panels” Facebook posting. Congratulations Sarah, it’s a well-deserved dishonor.
Here’s what Queen Sarah said:
As more Americans delve into the disturbing details of the nationalized health care plan that the current administration is rushing through [...]
Do You Need A Pick-Me-Up?
Do you need a pick-me-up? I know I do. I don’t like spending time arguing with people who have the same goals. Watch this video (edited) of a confrontation between John Thune and Al Franken. Franken to Thune – you’re not entitled to your own facts.

Fox News Is Off The Deep End
I was doing my normal evening blog surfing and I came across this article at TPM: Fox Poll: Does Obama Want To Cut Taxes, Or Is He Corrupt Instead?
To be specific, here’s what the poll asked: “What do you think President Obama would like to do with the extra bank bailout money — [...]
Flip Floppin’ McCain
I’m not even sure of the best word to describe this story. Is McCain just lying and hoping nobody can remember his health care plan from last year? Is he just become senile? Is he just a douchenozzle? Is McCain bitter, a hypocrite, a liar, a hypocritical liar?
John McCain, yesterday, while [...]
Sometimes Size Doesn’t Matter
Matthew Yglesias has a great look at the size of bills on Capitol HIll and disingenuousness of Republicans who complain about a bill’s length.
The bill is long in part because it’s a complicated bill with lots of words in it. But part of the issue is that bills are printed up with large type and [...]

Republicans Already Claiming Voter Fraud In New Jersey Race
Hmm… wonder what will happen to this baseless accusation should Christie win?
TPM has it all – and it’s growing. Republicans are ridiculous.
Gaffney Has NO Shame
When you’re losing an argument with the Ron Reagan, jr. tell him his father would be ashamed of him. Now, I was never a fan of President Reagan, but, imo, if Reagan was alive Gaffney should better start running.
Ron Reagan, jr. was absolutely correct. Frank better watch his mouth. Talk about crossing a line, but, [...]

The lie, and the liars
The lie: That any proposal currently before congress contains funding for “death panels” that kill patients against their will.
The truth: Your doctor can be reimbursed for helping you make a living will – in which you can declare “I insist that no one ever pull the plug on me for any reason whatsoever until I [...]
Sarah Palin – She’s Back With 200% More Lies
After a couple weeks of silence, Sarah Palin is back. She put a posting on her Facebook page about health care reform, and it’s a doozy.
In a new posting on her Facebook account, former Gov. Sarah Palin (R-AK) made a dire statement about health care reform — that it could result in an Obama-created [...]

UPDATED: The GOP’s New Talking Point: They Shoot Old People, Don’t They
Talk about scare tactics and preying on the elderly.
Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-TX): We’ve been battling this socialist health care, the nationalization of health care, that is going to absolutely kill senior citizens. They’ll put them on lists and force them to die early because they won’t get the treatment as early as they need. [...] [...]
The Sarah Palin Party
There has been endless discussion on this blog and elsewhere about Sarah Palin and her relationship with the Republican Party. Peggy Noonan wrote a recent op-ed about Sarah Palin, and how she’s a creation of the elite branch of the Republican Party:
America doesn’t need Sarah Palin to prove it was, and is, a nation [...]
Sean Hannity’s Pants Are On Fire
Media Matters brings us yet another story of Sean Hannity cropping and distorting Obama’s words in order to bash him. This one is pretty blatant.
Hannity aired the following clip:
GARRETT: In your speech this morning, you said the Cold War reached its conclusion because of the actions of many nations over many years.
Mr. President, are [...]
