Cantor’s Inappropriate Response To Dachau Photo

Filed in National by on November 7, 2009 13 Comments

He says the photos are inappropriate. Inappropriate?  Like wearing white after Labor Day?  What an insipid little word to describe that disgusting display.  And since he belongs to the party of “death panels” and “HCR will kill grandma” I know he has it in him to do better than inappropriate.  I also know why he […]

Rush Limbaugh knows why he was denied a chance to own the St. Louis Rams – it’s all Obama’s fault: “So Obama’s America is quite possibly going to include the National Football League, and pressure from Obama, the Congressional Black Caucus and other places might be brought to bear on the owners,” Limbaugh complained. And […]

The news Wednesday was that Rush Limbaugh said he might support Sotomayor after all. Here’s what he said: We know she’s Catholic. We also know she has no record on abortion.

This Space Intentionally Left Blank

Republicans, fight among yourselves. First, we have Newt Gingrich tweeting from Auschwitz that Sotomayor is a racist. And former Congressman Tom Tancredo doubles down by calling La Raza equivalent to the KKK. Senator John Cornyn is obviously worried about the perception that the war on Sotomayor will take down the entire Republican party, saying this: […]

Via Slog: Rush Limbaugh—drug addict, Viagra user—isn’t in a position to mock other people’s appearances. But that didn’t stop him from suggesting that posting a photo of Nancy Pelosi in “every cheap hotel room in America” would cut the birth rate—because, hey, no man could get it up with Pelosi’s ugly mug in the room, […]

Filed in National by on May 14, 2009 20 Comments

Not that he’ll be called out for this by Republicans (Sheesh, except for Smitty): “The [economic] deterioration reflects lower tax revenues and higher costs for bank failures, unemployment benefits and food stamps. But in the Oval Office of the White House none of this is a problem. This is the objective. The objective is unemployment. […]

If Colin Powell leaves the Republican Party drinks are on me! “What Colin Powell needs to do is close the loop and become a Democrat instead of claiming to be a Republican interested in reforming the Republican Party,” Limbaugh said on his radio show Wednesday.

Republicans Have Bigger Problems Than Lowering Pelosi’s Poll Numbers

Filed in National by on March 11, 2009 7 Comments

They have Rush’s poll numbers. According to the Democratic polling firm, voters view the conservative talk show host “negatively by a two-to-one ratio (53 to 26 percent), with nearly half the country, 45 percent, viewing him very, very negatively. Among independents, the ratio rises to three-to-one.” 45% view him very, very negatively.  I’m shocked, I […]
