Wanker of the Day
In Soviet Russia, Birth Certificate Shows You!
- Oh no, looks like another time-out for Vice President Joe Biden as President Obama has to call home, all the way from Russia, and say, “No, Joe, it is not okay if Israel just bombs Iran whenever.” (CNN)
- Apparently Russians don’t really care about our Michelle Obama so much. For some odd reason (sexism???), they’re all much more interested in her husband. Huh. And why doesn’t the Russian media care about “the coral-hued coat and Narciso Rodriguez dress that Obama had on as she stepped off Air Force One into an unseasonably cold July afternoon,” like your American press? (Washington Post)
- New Hampshire Attorney General Kelly Ayotte is resigning in order to run for the Senate, something which she explicitly said she would not do when she was reappointed in March. Oh well! (Manchester Union Leader)
- Your American Bar Association strongly recommends that Sonia Sotomayor be appointed to the Supreme Court. Why is the American Bar Association so “reverse racist” towards white people? (CBS News)
- Alberto Gonzales, do you recall who he is? Beginning this fall, Gonzales will be teaching at Texas Tech University. Course topics include selective memory, the finer points of waterboarding, and how to harass your predecessor when he’s in the hospital. (Austin American-Statesman)
- Remember that time the Minnesota National Guard stormed Capitol Hill and forcibly removed Norm Coleman from office, replacing him with Al Franken? So does Sen. Jim DeMint (R-SC). (P.S.: What is wrong with you, South Carolina voters?) (TPMDC)
Donuts Destroy County Sewers
- They aren’t just bad for your arteries. Fairfax County officials say that “excess fats, oils and grease” from a local Krispy Kreme plant have damaged parts of the country sewer system. (The Washington Post)
- When asked whether he would discourage Republicans from calling Sonia Sotomayor a racist, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell said he has “better things to do.” Nice. (Think Progress)
- Gen. David Petraeus agrees with the Obama Administration’s decision to close Gitmo. He noted that closure of the prison will show the world that the United States is committed to observing the Geneva Convention. (Radio Free Europe)
- Yesterday was date night for the Obamas. The President whisked Michelle off to New York for dinner and a show, and then maybe the Leader of the Free World got lucky, hm? (CNN Political Ticker)
Fisting
There is no good explanation for this.
Fox News on Obama’s Baby Mama
As if last week’s terrorist fist jab incident wasn’t bad enough, FOX News continues to show its true colors by labeling Michelle Obama as “Obama’s Baby Mama.”
No, this isn’t doctored–that’s exactly the chyron that the totally not racist folks over at Faux News put up over a clip of Michelle Obama. Not surprisingly, right wing crazy person blogger, FNC hack contributor, and woman of color Michelle Malkin (over there on the left) said nothing. Fortunately, my fellow “outraged liberals” were more than happy to do so:
Oliver Willis is still finding out new things about his own people (or “bitches and hos” as FOX would probably call them):
So here’s the thing (because during this campaign I’m apparently learning that we black people have our own secret code and hand signals so this stuff has to be explained like you are speaking to a child at times), using the phrase “baby mama” to describe this woman implies that like too many people in the black community, she is a mother on her own with no man around doing his job.
Except, Barack and Michelle Obama are the exact opposite of this, and that is one of the reason America – especially black America – are so proud of them.
But Fox News is the network that tears down those who do not toe the line, and if that means they should resort to jive to describe a black woman as a “baby mama” despite the strength of her family and her own personal success, so be it.
Pam Spaulding is a little more blunt:
It’s high time that Fox News just stop with the pussyfooting around with these games and run the more direct ”nigger” on any Chyron running over video of the Obamas.
I’ve got an idea. How about on the next episode of The O’Reilly Factor, why not have Bill do a little PSA on behalf of the network?
Pretty soon, FOX is going to have to change its slogan from “fair and balanced” to “separate but equal.”
Update: Apparently someone over at FOX “exercised poor judgement.” Um, yeah.
