Here Is That Sentence with “Eliot Spitzer” and “Ethics” In It That You Thought You’d Never See
Client #9, or “Eliot Spitzer” as he is sometimes known, is giving a lecture at Harvard’s Center for Ethics!…? However: “He’s not speaking about ethics. He’s here to talk about a research project we’re launching on institutional corruption.” So, you know, speaking from experience, then. (Boston Globe)
What is the most offensive thing someone could say in 140 characters or less? Oh, how about equating Barack Obama with the Muslim terrorists who crashed planes full of Americans into things on 9/11? That should do it. (Denver Post)
Lou Dobbs is quitting CNN, so probably he will just go on FOX to be appreciated for hating Mexicans. Who will CNN choose as their new token racist? (Politico)
Haha, looks like birther lawyer Orly Taitz has suborned perjury–a.k.a. encouraged witnesses to go on the stand and lie under oath! But everyone knows that “facts” and “truth” (not to mention the entire American legal system) are all in on Obama’s conspiracy! (TPM Muckraker)
There is only one way to get on Santa’s “nice” list this year, and that is to obtain these Sarah Palin Christmas ornaments and hang them from your Christmas tree! Of course, if Santa really wanted to help America, he’d quit delivering presents now and go on a book tour. (Wonkette)
Celebrate the election of the first Black Presidizzle of the USA by putting this burning cross on your front lawn! That’s the message from the American Family Association, which is offering this “beautiful Christmas Cross” on their website for only $81.85 + shipping and handling. This year, the science-hating, gay-hating, and generally hateful AFA is honoring the Baby Jesus Ku Klux Klan style. Ugh. Makes me want to declare a war on Christmas. (AFA Online via Balloon Juice)
Meanwhile, in the sane world, Barack Obama’s election has spurred the Iraqi cabinet to approve a security agreement that will set a January 1, 2011 deadline for the withdrawal of American troops. Said one Iraqi politician, “If Republicans were still there, there would be no respect for this timetable. This is a positive step to have the same theory about the timetable as Mr. Obama.” (New York Times)
The 2008 election continues! Bill Clinton is heading to Georgia to campaign for Democratic Senate candidate Jim Martin. Martin is looking to replace Shameless Saxby Chambliss who, if you’ll recall, was responsible for the despicable ad in 2002 that put triple amputee and true American hero Max Cleland on the same screen as Osama bin Laden. If you live in Georgia, make sure you vote on December 2! (CNN)
And finally, the GOP Civil War took to the airwaves this morning, with Bobby Jindal, Newt Gingrich, Tim Pawlenty, and Michael Steele all making the rounds on the Sunday talk shows. Arnold Schwarzenegger was also on TV this morning which I find weird since, y’know, his state is on fire again. (Associated Press)
Not everyone spent their day celebrating. For some children, the best Christmas present–Mommy or Daddy–is still thousands of miles away fighting George Bush’s war.
