A new low in anti-intellectualism

Sarah Palin is a pathetic, mush-for-brains dolt. I used to think she was monumentally dumb and incurious, but had political instincts that could compensate enough for her to succeed in her corrupt career path for the foreseeable future (like George W. Bush did). She does have a special talent, all right, and is hereby awarded … read more »

The problem with McCain-Palin, condensed

Mccain and Palin and their ilk don’t laugh. They patronize. They don’t smile, they snicker. They don’t debate, they denigrate. They don’t talk, they condescend. They don’t argue, they ridicule. There is a nastiness, a mean-spiritedness, a smug certitude, and a profound and baseless arrogance seething from both of them. These aren’t leaders. They’re not even grownups.

Signorile visits Oklahoma delegation at RNC

There’s ALL kind of riots going on in St. Paul. This is the big effing LOL variety:
Check out gay activist/journalist/radio host Mike Signorile with our very own lovely right-wing nutjob Sally Kern!

Update below.
Well just about the whole world started asking that question this morning (followed swiftly by “What the heck was he thinking???”). And, thanks to the netroots, we didn’t have long to wait for the answer.

At least he’ll win … read more »

Sen. Jim Inhofe says he has made peace with John McCain, the presumptive Republican nominee, whom Inhofe has sparred with in the past over global warming and … read more »

Craig’s ‘wide stance’ enters lexicon

I hate to gloat while people are being publicly embarrassed, but really, Republicans just beg for it with their hypocrisy and sleazy politicking to save themselves at any cost to actual victims, or the country.
Craig’s `wide Stance’ Enters Lexicon – New York Times
BOISE, Idaho (AP) — Among the most famous excuses ever given for questionable … read more »

Van Taylor piles on

Van Taylor wants you to know
Van is mad at Murtha for something he didn’t actually say. The Miami Sun-Sentinel misquoted him and no one checked the quote (sounds like bloggers have taken over, doesn’t it?) before running with it.
Van Taylor, the Republican candidate for the District 17 House seet, and the only R candidate who … read more »

Working the Refs

Eric Alterman, with yet another (quite apt) sports analogy about the media:
Much of the public believes the myth about the so-called liberal media, and the media themselves have been cowed by conservatives into repeating this lie virtually nonstop — lest they too be branded “liberal.” The pundits who are given so much air … read more »

Letter to Frist

There were myriad unwise words said today in the Senate. These undoubtedly were the unwisest:
On the same day that a federal judge whose family was assassinated testified to the Senate Judiciary Committee about courthouse safety, Sen. Majority Leader Bill Frist (R-TN) described Democratic efforts opposing some of President Bush’s judicial nominees as “leadership-led use of … read more »
