Barack Obama is Optimus Prime
- How sad, nobody wants your Watergate Hotel, where Richard Nixon famously was a crook. The hotel sold at auction for $25 million to the only bidder. (Washington Business Journal/WaPo)
- Before you vote for Rep. Mark Kirk (R-IL) for Senate, consider the fact that Mark Kirk is a Decepticon. So Rush Limbaugh is Megatron, then? (TPMDC)
- Lou Dobbs does not like illegal immigrants, and Lou Dobbs does not like Barack Obama. This has led Lou Dobbs to wonder if Barack Obama is an undocumented immigrant. So now I’m confused, was Barack Obama born in Indonesia, Kenya, or Mexico? (Political Wire)
- Formerly hospitalized Sen. Robert Byrd (D-WV) returned to the Senate today just to stick it to that Obama guy. Um, hooray? (Roll Call)
- Mark Sanford is tired of everyone asking about all the sexy things he did to his soulmate, who is not his wife, when they should be focused on more important things like, I dunno, his unusually high taxpayer-funded travel expenses, maybe? (CNN Political Ticker/WYFF)

It is perhaps worth noting that under the Nixon standard for reproductive rights, President Obama’s mother could have had an abortion.
