Congress to Put Fame-Seeking Couple on TV
Thanks to your House of Representatives, you can break the rules and still get exactly what you want:
In addition to the director of the Secret Service, the chairman of House Homeland Security Committee, Bennie Thompson (D-MS), has asked party-crashers Tareq And Michaele Salahi to testify before the committee after the state-dinner security breach.
A committee spokesman says that the Salahis have not been subpoenaed, therefore, they are not required to testify. The spokesman added that the committee should know in the next day or two whether the spotlight-seeking couple will appear.
Good. Because Congress just hasn’t done anything utterly ridiculous yet this week.
- Switzerland is trying to vote Muslims out of the country by banning the construction of minarets, which are pretty important for the whole prayer thing. So much for neutrality. (NYT)
- Last Thursday, Thanksgiving, Glenn Beck suggested that maybe Sarah Palin should go back to the kitchen. Haha, such wit! And yet, nobody laughed at his hilarious joke, and it is the terrible liberals’ fault. (Raw Story/ThinkProgress)
- In a nationwide poll for America’s Next Top Conservative, literally one person picked Dick Cheney. And it was probably on a dare. (WaPo)
- There will be a Congressional investigation into how a Great Falls couple snuck past the Secret Service into a White House state dinner. Those always produce useful results! (Bloomberg)
- A man walked into a Seattle-area coffee shop and killed four cops yesterday, so of course the important thing is how this will affect Mike Huckabee’s political career. (All of your American news media)
Wanker of the Day
Yes We Can… Shop Without Killing Each Other
Today is a great day in American history! We have managed to successfully do our Black Friday shopping without killing our fellow Americans, even at the Long Island Wal-Mart where a security guard was actually murdered last year by shoppers. Of course, one California store had to be shut down due to “fighting inside” over who got to the [insert name of this year's popular cheap plastic crap from China] first, and we set a Nassau County Wal-Mart on fire in the Christmas tree section, probably because we are trying Khalid Sheikh Mohammed in New York (this is what the terrorists will do to your wives, children, foliage, etc.). Still, let freedom ring!

NSFV (not safe for vegetarians):
Happy Thanksgiving! I’m on vacation; that’s all your blogging for today.
Update:
BARACK OBAMA IS PARDONING THE TURKEY GEORGE BUSH PARDONED A TURKEY THAT’S NOT CHANGE WE CAN BELIEVE IN!
Late Late Night
- Barack Obama is going to Copenhagen next month for the “Climate Change Olympics.” Like the real Olympics, conservatives will be super-excited about them when we lose. (WaPo)
- In Glenn Beck’s America, we just summarily execute detainees so we don’t even have to worry about where those pesky trials will be held. (Media Matters)
- Actual war has been declared between Majority Leader Harry Reid and ancient pundit David Broder. Maybe something can actually get done now, while everyone’s distracted. (TPMDC)
- Contrary to what Sarah Palin thinks, it helps to have an actual job while running for president. So, Lou Dobbs will run for Senate against Robert Menendez (D-NJ), the only Hispanic Senator. (AP)
- Sarah Palin has some suggestions for Canada’s healthcare system, which, much like America’s healthcare system, she knows nothing about. (The Canadian Press)
- Also too, Palin and certifiably crazy Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-MN) will highlight the teabaggers’ national convention, Baggerfest 2010. It is the wingnut respnse to ComicCon. (CNN)
Non-Ironic Quote of the Day
Former CNN anchor Lou Dobbs, pondering a future in politics, is trying to wipe away his image as an enemy of Latino immigrants by positioning himself as a champion of that fast-growing ethnic bloc.
– From the WSJ. Good luck with that, pendejo.
Verbatim Dana Perino
We did not have a terrorist attack on our country during President Bush’s term.
Ummm, Dana? Remind me who was president on September 11, 2001? Maybe Rudy Giuliani could help you remember.
Update: Also, anthrax.
