JABbering Stooge

I just got back into town after going to see a cousin graduate from high school in Roswell (Yes, that Roswell). So to tide you over until I get back on my feet, here’s a funny video I found on YouTube:

McCain has finally denounced John Hagee and rejected his endorsement, which Hagee has reciprocally withdrawn. Naturally, the “librul” media is declaring that this is good for McCain and the Rethuglicans.

What’s worse, there’s no mention of the fact that McBush eagerly sought Hagee’s endorsement; no mention of the fact that Hagee blamed gays for the destruction of New Orleans in Hurricane Katrina; still no mention of the fact that Hagee is far from McCain’s only crazy pastor problem. Instead, they’re giving him credit for bitchslapping Hagee and using the Hagee rejection to smear Obama for all of his most tangential of associations with anyone with the slightest taint on their character.

It’s gonna be a loooooooong campaign…

Michael Savage

Following the announcement that Sen. Ted Kennedy (D-MA) has been diagnosed with a malignant brain tumor, nationally syndicated radio host Michael Savage opened his May 20 show by interspersing audio of Kennedy singing "Ay Jalisco No Te Rajes" with clips of news reporters discussing Kennedy’s diagnosis and audio from the 1990 film Kindergarten Cop in which Arnold Schwarzenegger’s character says, "It’s not a tumor." Later, Savage played the Dead Kennedys song "California Über Alles" after stating: "The poor guy’s been suffering for years, you know? Unfairly he’s been accused of alcoholism, but we see now that it was something much more deep-seated. And so, to cut this out in some respect for Ted Kennedy, here’s a tune coming at you from the Dead Kennedys. Go ahead and play it, please."

Michael? FUCK YOU! If you can’t say anything nice, GO TO FUCKING HELL, YOU SICK FUCK!!!!

According to The Stupidest Fucking Guy on the Face of the Planet™, this

does not mean that the Bush administration lied us into war, but were merely acting on erroneous information from those incompetent boobs at the CIA and every other Western intelligence agency.**

A quote that could equally apply to the GOP’s consistent, flagrant maltreatment of vets as to the context of the quote:

Don’t lionize our fallen brothers in one breath, then stab us in the back.
— IAFF General President Harold Schaitberger, on Bush holding up funding for first responders

Mr. Bush, Mr. McCain, don’t lionize our fallen heroes in one breath, then stab their surviving brothers in the back.

Damned if I know.

Sen. Ted Kennedy has been diagnosed with a malignant brain tumor.

Expect wingnut schadenfreude and inappropriate jokes about Sen. Kennedy being a malignant brain tumor in 5…4…3…2…1…

Update (May 20, 2008, 16:44): Wow… that didn’t take long. According to Pam Spaulding over at Pandagon (and gordo at The Liberal Avenger), those oh-so-tactful-and-rational-non-haters at LibrulFreiRepubliKKK — the very same people who posted the address (among other things) of the Chuy’s manager who carded Jenna Bush — had to pull several threads because of the sheer torrent of hate and glee directed at the Massachusetts senator.

McCain: Obama’s Iran remarks show inexperience

• My friends, Sen. Obama is working with Iran to fluoridate our water supply!
