Deep Thought
In 2006, the Bush/Cheney Department of Justice indicted Adam Gadhan, the American al-Qaeda spokesman who was just captured in Pakistan, on charges of treason in a civilian court. Since charging terrorists in civilian courts is dangerous to America, at least according to Republicans, we must ask: why do George W. Bush and Dick Cheney hate America so much?
- How does Sen. Jim DeMint (R-SC) balance his commitment to the national GOP with his duty to South Carolina? By just cold-fuckin’ ignoring his constituents. (The State)
- Barack Obama has ordered more soldiers to Afghanistan for continued warmaking! In tomorrow’s papers, pundits begin to ignore any connection between this war and George W. Bush. (NYT)
- Popular Drudge-bait website Politco and FOX News are deeply concerned about President Obama’s use of the word “unprecedented” which, like the healthcare bill, is so long and therefore terrible. (Raw Story)
- Death panels! Not just for olds and Trig anymore, according to Senate candidate Rep. Mark Kirk (R-IL). Now Dr. Obama will personally kill all of America’s women, using breast cancer. (The Plum Line)
Dems Will Have to Find a New Cash Cow to Screw Over
- The gays are tired of the DNC always asking them for money and then totally ignoring them when it comes to, y’know, any political progress, so they have cleverly decided to stop sending the DNC money until said political progress is realized. (AMERICAblog)
- Sarah Palin wonders why anyone would want to move “In God We Trust,” our nation’s motto, to the side of our coins instead of keeping it on the front. Is it because Kenyan Muslims like Barack Obama do not believe in America’s God, the Christian one? Actually, George W. Bush did this thing in 2005 and then undid it in 2007, but still: Muslims! (Raw Story)
- A group of 40 House Democrats has said that they will vote against the final healthcare reform bill if it contains Bart Stupak’s wire coat hanger amendment. So now the question is, will the left cave like they usually do? (Washington Post)
- Oh look, the “Tea Party” is now an official political party in the great state of Florida, joining the ranks of such esteemed parties as the Prohibition Party and the (gasp!) Socialist Workers Party! Good luck with those terrible ballots, Floridians!
Wanker of the Day
Former Gov. Seeks Work, Has Moose Gun, Will Travel
Even America’s Heroine™ has been hit by the recession! Sarah Palin has posted her resume to LinkedIn, prominently featuring her “2 years 7 months” experience as Governor of Alaska. If anyone has any folksy small-town snow machine moose-hunter maverick positions available, check out her profile! (LinkedIn)- Sen. Blanche Lincoln (D-AR) held an online Q&A on healthcare reform yesterday. Watch her awkwardly use “technical difficulties” to dodge constituents’ questions about the public option! (Blanche for Senate)
- Since they don’t have the votes to stop healthcare reform, Senate Republicans will use procedural tactics to stall it until it dies. Probably Harry Reid will just let them do this because bipartisanship! (Roll Call)
- Here is a video of Chris Christie, Republican candidate for Governor of New Jersey, going on and on about how much he just loooooooves George W. Bush so much. (Daily Kos)
- Sen. David Vitter (R-LA) has not taken a position on whether government officials can refuse to marry interracial couples in his home state of Louisiana, maybe because he is so committed to hookers in diapers family values. (TPMDC)
Tx. School District to Bus Students to President’s Speech
No, not that president:
The Arlington Independent School District, which passed on airing President Barack Obama’s live classroom address, has announced that some students will be bussed off campus to hear a message from former President George W. Bush on Sept. 21.
District officials said it’s part of a Cowboys Stadium field trip that the North Texas Super Bowl Host Committee invited 28 fifth-grade classes to attend several months ago.
In addition to hearing from Bush and former first lady Laura Bush, the students will hear from legendary Dallas Cowboys players and North Texas business and community leaders. The event launches the Super Bowl committee’s largest-ever youth education program.
So the former President of the United States talking to kids about the Super Bowl during regular class time is okay, but the current President of the United States talking to kids about staying in school during regular class time is socialist mind control. Right.
