Adventures in Crazy: It’s All Elena Kagan’s Fault. Who Knew?
Okay, I know you think you’ve already seen the craziest thing of the day.
Not even close.
Lookie here:
Oh yes, it has to be true that President Barack Obama is threatening the Supreme Court with “missives.” Fox news says so. Not only that, Martha McCallum of Fox News says so. Not only that, Martha says President Obama is threatening “Chaos” with a damn capital C, bygawd. That’s like regular c chaos but louder.
And the plan in which President Obama will carry out all this Chaos was hatched in 1965 when Supreme Court Justice Elena Kagan was in first grade, already plotting to take over the United States and take it straight to socialism. Well, right after she forged a Hawaiian birth certificate for Barack Obama.
Don’t believe me. I can prove it.
Does that say lifelong? Yes, it does.
And then there’s this amazing evidence.
Oh, Sweet Jesus, protect us from skillful lawyering.
I’ve been pondering on this for a little while and I have come to understand why the Fox News crowd hates Elena Kagan. She’s not a bleached blonde.
Apparently, bleached blondes are incapable of taking over the world, as they prove on Fox news every day.
Thanks to Marge for the really cool crazy stuff she sends me.
And I Am Writing A Book On How To Avoid Typos
Y’all George W Bush is writing a book.
On economic policy.
Okay, I’ll wait here while you clean off your computer screen.
Lalalalalala .. waiting ….teededededede … waiting. Okay?
The title of the book is “Strategies for Economic Growth.”
Okay, I’ll wait. You clean.
Good Lord, just four short years ago, the man couldn’t spell economic and now he is an expert.
His quote of the year?
As he spoke about his Freedom Collection, he said, “I actually found my freedom by leaving Washington.”
Dude, we all did when you left. We all did.
It’s Moved From Pranks To Mental Health Issues
Republicans are stinkers. They really are.
Democrats encourage our young people to run for Senate. Republicans encourage theirs to intimidate, lie, and develop a criminal record.
James O’Keefe is a poor man’s Lee Atwater, but with an even bigger ego. He is not as smart as Lee Atwater, that’s for sure. Plus, Atwater was wise enough to keep his name out of the fray. O’Keefe thinks he’s just one good script away from an Academy Award.
Take, for example, O’Keefe’s blunder in North Carolina.
Conservative filmmaker James O’Keefe released a new video today supposedly exposing voter fraud in North Carolina by highlighting non-citizens like Zbigniew Gorzkowski who have voted in recent elections.
The problem: Gorzkowski is an American citizen.
And he has been a citizen since the 1980’s.
But, there’s more. O’Keefe tried to vote in North Carolina as a man who had recently died. The man, who was 84 years old, had a 23 year old son by the same name living at his address. O’Keefe’s people tried to vote as the deceased man and thought they had discovered voter fraud because the man’s name was on the voter roles. They didn’t notice the Jr. after the name.
The newly widowed mother and wife responded to the news when the folks at the polls called her about the event …
“If he were my son I would spank him.”
“I don’t like the way they just felt that they could use my husband’s name and put it out there,” the widow told TPM. “It just wasn’t right. My husband just died, and then they do that? Why didn’t they use somebody from a year ago or five years ago. It was just very insensitive.”
O’Keefe is not only a doofus. He’s a mean bitchy little doofus.
You know, I feel kinda bad linking O’Keefe to Lee Atwater. Atwater sought salvation and redemption at the end of his life and tried to send a warning message to others about what he’d done, including apologizing to Michael Dukakis for the ‘naked cruelty’ of the 1988 presidential election campaign.
O’Keefe seems to prefer just just being naked.
Thanks to Alfredo over at the Dairy Queen this morning with a cup of coffee and Bev.
Yeah, Cuddly Like a Hornet
I know that George W Bush doesn’t have much to put on his library website. I can understand that. I mean, the dude can’t leave the United States or they’ll put his lying, torturing butt in prison. He never did anything to make the world a better place or even had any friends who weren’t bought.
So, he’s using little sweet baby kittens to make himself look socially acceptable.
I think a better tagline would be, “Y’all, look, George W Bush did not torture and kill this little baby kitten. And he even hid this little baby kitten under his chair so Dick Cheney wouldn’t eat him.”
The man’s a saint, a saint I tell you.
Thanks to MB for the heads-up.
And New Hampshire Closes In On South Carolina ….
I think the Republican Mothership (the USS Nixon) is sending signals down to earth for all Republicans to start acting like their pants are on fire.
Let us go to normally staid New Hampshire where we shall meet State Representative Steve Vailliancourt of Manchester, a man who is a little tightly wound to start with. Set him off by not letting his bully his way to legislation and you, my friend, become Adolph Hussein Hitler to him.
Vailliancourt later apologized but it took 4, count ‘um four, tries for him to get the apology right.
First try: “So I will never use a German word again, including (unintelligible German) meine damen und herren,” which roughly translates to “I’m being sarcastic as hell, you jerks.”
Finally he was able to get it right. Well, sort of.
“Again, I apologize to the chair of the House for using those inflammatory German words,” he said.
Later on, Vaillancourt was still upset about the initial procedural matter that set him off.
“It’s a Stalinist tactic. It’s the tactic of a tyrant,” he said.
Well, that’s so much nicer. I mean, Stalin ain’t bad, право?
Thanks to Irene for the heads up.
