Monday Morning Update

Here’s one for the annals of douchebaggery. A Blago spokesman denies rumors that the Governor will resign today or tomorrow. On the contrary, he’s going to go into his office and prepare to sign or veto bills, including one which would take away his authority to appoint someone to the Senate. Wonder how that one will go. (New York Times)
Well, it was only a matter of time. Play the official George W. Bush Shoe Throw game. How many times can you hit the Still-President with a shoe? (blogslut via Wonkette)
Remember George “Macaca” Allen, the guy who was almost a sure bet for the Republican nomination for president until he revealed his inner racism? Well, he’s still making the right-wing talk circuit, but now he’s switched to sports metaphors instead of insulting the brown people. Good call. (DC Examiner)
It looks like Saturday Night Live crossed a line this time. In a Weekend Update segment “with” New York Gov. David Paterson, the SNL writers decided to make fun of both the strange circumstances of how he came to be governor (fair game) and his blindness (not fair game). The actor playing Paterson portrayed him as “confused and disoriented — often looking in the wrong direction and mistakenly walking in front of the camera when it was not his turn to speak.” Not very classy at all.
