Shorter Del. Bob Marshall

“Sideshow Bob”: Gays “attend more cultural events….take more vacations”

  • If there’s do much discrimination against the gays, why do they always look so happy in those parades?

ShorterBasically Verbatim Sarah Palin

Palin: Obama Was ‘Arrogant’ to Criticize McCain

  • Barack Obama is so uppity for not graciously losing the 2008 election to John McCain, War Hero.

Shorter Senate Republicans

Should Democrats take Republican reconciliation threats seriously?

  • If Democrats try to stop us from holding up legislation in the Senate, we will hold up legislation in the Senate!

Shorter E.J. Dionne

What fuels the grass-roots rage

Shorter Orrin Hatch

Hatch says Alito showed ‘judicial restraint’

  • Justice Alito should be commended for not shouting “You lie!” at President Obama.

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.

Shorter Wesley Pruden

PRUDEN: Obama bows, the nation cringes

  • It’s not Obama’s fault that he’s a terrible, America-hating, half-breed Kenyan whose mother had a bad case of jungle fever.

Wooo post-racialism!

Update: Bonus almost-verbatim Pruden: Hawaii is not really a state.

Verbatim David Broder

Enough Afghan debate

Given that reality, the urgent necessity is to make a decision — whether or not it is right.

So in the longest military conflict in American history, David Broder would prefer President Obama make a bad decision now rather than take the time to examine all his options and make a good one. It’s only thousands of American lives, billions of dollars, and the stability of an entire region at stake. What’s the worst that could happen?

Shorter Erick Erickson

Red State Action Alert (via)

  • The only way to defend American values against terrorism is to throw out the Constitution entirely and try Khalid Sheikh Mohammed in a kangaroo court.

Incidentally, this is pretty much what Bill Kristol just said about skipping Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan’s trial for the murder of 13 Americans at Fort Hood and going straight to the part where they strap him into the chair. Did I miss the “No Muslims” part of the Constitution, or is it just written in some kind of invisible ink that only wingnuts can see?

Shorter Lynn Vincent

INTERVIEW: Former Miss California Carrie Prejean

  • Some people say Carrie Prejean and I are homophobic, but–suck it, liberals!–we have some gay friends!

(For those of you keeping score at home, Lynn Vincent is Sarah Palin’s ghostwriter.)
