I know we’re all going to be watching the South Carolina results tonight, so I will keep the website open here for your comments and will approve new comments as I check.  I will also be on twitter – @crabbait – and hope to see you there.

Now I want to say something that’s not very nice.  I can hardly imagine how awful it would be to have Newt Gingrich for President.  But, I really cannot even imagine having Callista as First Lady.  The first time she got drunk, she’d trip and knock holes in the wall with that hairdo.  We’d have to hire people to walk along side her with pillows just to protect the art in the White House.  Can you imagine that?

And what if she decides that she wants somebody else’s husband?  What if she’s just collecting married men?  Has anybody really thought this through?

And what if Newt falls in love with Canada or something and wants us to have an Open Government with Canada because we can’t have him all to ourselves?  I mean, have to looked at Canada lately?  It’s awfully cute.

All this just worries me because, dammit, somebody has GOT to worry about it.

Okay ladies, you can get a Barack Obama ringtone.

Oh yeah, baby.

Thanks to David for the heads up.

Confusion is reigning like manure at a horse show in South Carolina and I love it.

The latest is some sweet Karl Rove karma.

Just hours after a fake CNN news release went out claiming that Newt Gingrich asked his ex-wife Marianne to have an abortion, a fake Gingrich statement responding to the allegations also made the rounds.

The Gingrich campaign says the release, which is mocked up to look like an official statement, is a fake. The fake press releases reads, in part:

“I have said many times, including on the debate stage last night, that I am not a perfect human being and I have made mistakes in my life. This was one of them.”

Come on, with Newt’s record of mattress thrashing and lady killin’, it is a miracle someone hasn’t started a fake email about him being the ground zero of social diseases in three states and District of Peru.

Hey, listen up Republicans, it’s not about the s-e-x.  It’s about the hypocrisy.

Oh wait, I forgot that Republicans think hypocrisy is a sacrament.

Sorry, never mind.  Go about your business.

Thanks to Deb for the heads-up.

The Supremes sent the Texas redistricting case back to the three judge panel in San Antonio.  They said the lower court had to find a “reasonable probability” of Section 5 violation of the Voting Rights Act before they could completely redraw the maps.

Good Lord, have they looked at what happened to Hispanics in redistricting?

Justice Clarence Thomas added his own opinion that Section 5 of the Voting Rights Act is unconstitutional.

Section 5 says that the Department of Justice needs to pre-clear new boundaries to keep the southern states from wildly discriminating against minorities.  Yep, that’s clearly unconstitutional.

The polls close today at 5:00 my time.

You can enter right here.

As some of you know, crazy old men who hate, hate, hate Barack Obama have taken me on as a project.  Several of them put me on their email list of goofy emails they get from their other crazy friends about President Obama.  These emails are passed along for years, through thousands of empty minds who never bother to check them because somebody wrote at the bottom, “you can check this on Snopes because it’s true.”  Of course, if you actually do check them on Snopes, they are about as true as Newt Gingrich’s marriage vows.

I got a doozy yesterday.  I can’t print it here as it looks except for this small screen shot of part of it because that’s as far as my geeky goes.  Click the little one to get the big one.

The rumor started here about a year ago, but grew quickly to include the Muslim part.

So, I guess that explains why Mitt Romney made his dog ride on the roof, huh?

And they let these crazy old men vote.

Y’all, you need to listen to me.  They call Obama a Muslim only because they can’t call him the N word and that’s the truth.
