Is that now the prosecutor has more evidence.

The last time that Sean Hannity came a'blundering into a high-profile media-legal situation in Florida, he helped make a living hell out of life for Michael Schiavo, and for some very good people working in a hospice, and he enabled people who phoned in bomb scares to elementary schools, and he promoted the gabble-gabbling nonsense of dangerous charlatans. (You can read at length about how Hannity's mucked with people's lives for his own profit in a book from a few years back.) If I were the state authorities down there, I'd never let him back into the state accompanied by a camera crew ever again.

...

Fucking Hannity is an idiot and a shill. The wort part is, he grew up in the town next to mine and I never ran into him on the street. I wish I could say "I threw him a beating when he was young"*. He gives Long Island a bad name.

*Thinking about it, maybe not. I wouldn't want you folks to think I made him the way he is. Heh ...

Queen Ann of the 1% speaks

Politico

Ann Romney dismissed concerns about her husband’s tax returns Thursday, contending that the two of them have “given all you people need to know.”

We The People of the United States are now "you people". No arrogance or elitism there, huh?. I guess we're lucky she didn't call us "the help" and tell us we were "uppity" to want to vet Willard because it's "his turn" to be POTUS and we should be good little serfs and just take the droight du seigneur* with a smile as it was intended by God and STFU. Heh.

*French for "telephone pole up the ass"?

Have you heard about these crazies yet?

...

I have heard through the vast left wing conspiracy (aka the liberal media) that you had dropped out of Iowa's 34th senate district when it was apparent no one wanted you for that elected office and have, instead, crowned yourself a Senator of the brand new Republic of the united States of America. No doubt, this is why no one would've voted for you for the Iowa state senate because they were hoping you'd pursue a higher, national office or one for which you're much more suited: An imaginary one with no actual responsibilities.

...

More crybaby cons who want their own country because the black man ruined everything. Dicks.

Quote of the Day

Michael F:

So Dick, still kind of fresh from his heart implant (transplant would imply a heart was there in the first place) brought his sulfurous essence to Capitol Hill this week.

But the only question for me is whether "escaped from Hell" is accurate. I wonder if Satan personally ordered the implant, either out of professional courtesy or fear that Cheney might take over the joint once consigned to his eternal fate...

Who ...

In the name of all that's holy, gave S.E. Cupp a job at MSNBC? The woman is a fucking moron:

Sweet Jeebus. This isn’t just proudly putting the crazies in the living room for everyone to look at (per Julia Sugarbaker), this is putting them on the TeeVee machine for everyone to laugh at. Let me rephrase: someone thought it was a good idea to put this dippy wing-ding on the boob-tube, and not only does she still have a job, but so does the person who made this dream come true.

Grampa Walnuts Blasts Crazy Eyes

This is twice in two days Ol' Drool Buckets has said something right. First, "Snowflake Snooki was a better candidate than Willard" and now this:

Raw Story

Arizona Sen. John McCain took to the Senate floor on Wednesday to call out a fellow Republican lawmaker for “specious and degrading attacks” which allege that Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s deputy chief of staff had infiltrated the U.S. government on behalf of radical Islamists in the Muslim Brotherhood.

Last week, the St. Cloud Times reported the Minnesota Rep. Michele Bachmann and four other Republicans had called on inspectors general in the State, Homeland Security, Defense and Justice departments to investigate “potential Muslim Brotherhood infiltration” of the Obama administration by Huma Abedin, an aide to Secretary Clinton and wife of former Rep. Anthony Weiner (D-NY).

“It has been alleged that Huma Abedin, a Muslim American, is part of a nefarious conspiracy to harm the United States,” McCain explained on Wednesday, noting that the accusations were based on an “unsubstantiated” report by Frank Gaffney’s neoconservative Center for Security Policy.
...

“When anyone — not least, a member of Congress — launches specious and degrading attacks against fellow Americans on the basis of nothing more than fear of who they are and ignorance of what they stand for, it defames the spirit of our nation and we all grow poorer because of it,” he added.

A little grudgingly on my part, good for him. Have McCain's doctors told him something that is making him cram for his finals by starting to tell the truth? Time will tell.

There's two more interesting things about this.

First, that motherfucker Gaffney is the worst-of-the-worst neocon bottom feeders. He's a lying, warmongering shit-for-brains sacka crap who makes stuff up. Or, as F**Noise calls him, a "foreign policy expert".

Second, this lie about Ms. Abedin and Hil is taken as gospel by some post-electorally disgruntled Egyptians who threw tomatoes and shoes at Sec Clinton's car on her visit to Egypt the other day. They hollered "Monica!" at her too. Heh.

Note to Hil, who uses the Brain in all her important decisions: If you need to chill after that, my offer of a hot weekend getaway still stands. :-)

Did a justice’s wife leak Supreme Court drama?

Salon

NPR legal reporter Nina Totenberg spoke to Bloomberg Law yesterday about the Supreme Court’s recent healthcare reform decision and the subsequent series of stories on the deliberations based on leaks to reporters from court insiders. She made this interesting observation:

“[The leaks] had the earmarks of somebody — somebody or two bodies — who are very angry. Now that’s not necessarily a justice. Could be a justice, could be a law clerk, could be a spouse of a justice.”

...

Of course, there is only one “spouse of a justice” that anyone has ever heard of, and it’s America’s Sweetheart, Ginni Thomas.
...

[...] She is an enigma!

Note to the writer: you misspelled "enema".

Note to Clarence: If this turns out to be true and I hope it does, the crazy-right fat bleached-blond loudmouth white bitch done got yo black ass in a crack this time fo' sho', homes, and it's about time. You better git while the gittin's good. Heh.

Rev. Rodriguez’s Unenviable Task: Selling Romney to Hispanics

If the Rev manages to sell Willard to the Meskins, I hope he gets a good price but I'd stay away from 'today's special' at the taqueria for a while. A rotten boring plain white meat poison taco is not my idea of a good time.

Everything you ever wanted, delivered yesterday

If it's Wednesday it must be Morford spouting off on entitlement and survival and same-day delivery and Willard.

Here is the good news: The apocalypse cannot touch you. The misery and pollution, poverty and mega-slums of the scary third world are still at least a few dozen miles away. The global food riots are still reserved for grumpy French farmers and large swaths of north Africa. Gas prices are still SUV-liscious.

See, with completely pointless tech like that, who has time to worry about heat waves and freak storms? Who has time to bother to look up from their screen to see the dark clouds gathering, the crops withering or the rich, vacuous Mormon lunatic lurching toward the White House, trying to become president of the United States?

Ah, Mitt Romney. Truly a self-made man, you must agree. A perfectly honed, machine-made uber capitalist, cast from the finest dolt-grade aluminum, making all sorts of slimy but mostly legal deals that made him a millionaire 200 times over without actually working, a snob and elitist par excellence.
...

Really now, who doesn’t want a life like that? No one doubts Mitt would be a horror-show disaster for America, if he became president. No one disputes he’s a hollow, vaguely creepy, spiritual bereft corporate monster. But he’s also very, very rich. And baby, we love that.

Here is the great and tragic secret of America: Offer almost any devout Christian, liberal, hippie, or Republican homophobe say, $50 million to give up her anti-gay spittle or solar-powered water bottle Kickstarter campaign forever, and watch as she grabs the cash and sprints for a designer bunker in the Hamptons, never to return.

And why? Because, like Mitt, everyone wants to be insured against the apocalypse. Everyone wants the delicious padding of all that cash, all that ego, all that numb, drugged-out disconnection from the mess and blood and spit of ugly reality. Revolution? Education reform? Health care? Sure. But we’d rather have a gated community, a hot tub and some money. This is America, remember?

Also an assortment of 'just the basics' available from Amazon. In Hell. Heh. Be sure to click 'see caption' to find out zombies HATE sardine cans. It's a comfort...

Update:

I actually get the catalog with the 12" Elite Forces bowie knife for six bucks. They have Bat'leths and other Klingon weaponry sometimes too.

Same old song and dance ...

Seems the Mittster pulled that "I wasn't there at the time so I'm not responsible" act at least once before:

Today, the Obama reelection campaign is going after Mitt Romney for the Bain-led bankruptcy of Ampad, a Marion (Ind.) paper company that Bain acquired in 1994 and that eventually went bankrupt, costing hundreds of workers their jobs. One of those workers was Randy Johnson, who went on to bedevil Romney’s political career, popping up at inopportune moments to remind voters of the bankruptcy. (Johnson will be speaking to reporters today on a call arranged by the Obama campaign.) Bloomberg Businessweek’s Paul Barrett wrote the definitive story on Romney, Ampad, and Johnson, which you can read here. Among the documents Barrett turned up is this fascinating fax that Romney sent to Johnson, quasi-apologizing—though still denying culpability—for the Ampad bankruptcy and his lost job: [my em]

My question is, has the man taken responsibility for anything in his life?

Kitty Wells 1919-2012

The worst part of getting old is that all the folks I grew up listening to are passing.

LATimes

Kitty Wells was one of the first women to have a significant effect on country music. She had a No. 1 hit with 'It Wasn't God Who Made Honky Tonk Angels' in 1952.
...

Mostly she was interested in the $125 union scale pay she'd get for the session, at which she recorded "It Wasn't God Who Made Honky Tonk Angels," a song that not only turned her career around but also helped upend stereotypical thinking about men who strayed and the women they strayed with.
...

That recording was No. 1 for six weeks in 1952 and began a string of hits that extended to 1979.

The stern resolution in her voice would be echoed in subsequent recordings by Patsy Cline, Loretta Lynn, Tammy Wynette, Dolly Parton, Emmylou Harris on through Shania Twain and the Dixie Chicks and still ripples today in assertive songs by Taylor Swift, Miranda Lambert and Carrie Underwood.

"Kitty Wells was my hero," Lynn said Monday in a statement. "If I had never heard Kitty Wells sing, I don't think I would have been a singer myself."

Godspeed, Mrs. Wright.

Rude on Rush

The Rude One goes off on Limpbaugh and outdoes himself. A 'recommended read'. The money shot:

Nah, that engages in an argument with a hippo, who will just look at you and then either charge or go on standing in muddy water, chomping roots. Instead, let's go with this: the desperation of conservatives at this point to defeat Barack Obama is reaching a fever pitch and they know they're not gonna do it with Romney (my em). So instead, it's time to inflict as much damage as possible, to take sink the ship because they don't like the captain. And why not, since they've already bribed the officers for a seat on the lifeboat.

Now, the Rude Pundit's pretty sure that doesn't fall into the "love your country" category.

I love the smell of Repug desperation in the morning. Similar to the smell of self-applied napalm. Heh.
