Why does Sen. Tom Coburn hate the troops?

Shorter Debbie Schlussel:

Shocker: Man Who Shot Up Ft. Hood Soldiers Was Muslim (and a “Loyal” Muslim U.S. Soldier); Islamic Terrorism & Jihad, Period; An Islamic Doctor Who Murdered

• The massacre at Fort Hood just goes to prove that the only good Muslim is a dead Muslim — preferably in one of Adam Yoshida’s macrowave ovens!

Remember this picture of my brother’s cat?

Well, look up in your address bar. (The part of the browser that starts with “http://”.) Yes, I made it into a favicon.

So, I had this totally awesome snarky post about the “librul” media’s reaction to the special election last night all ready to go, and I come home to find that Ed had already done it better than I ever could.

Damn you, Ed.

This is why we lost two governors in the special election last night:

WASHINGTON — In a blow to the White House, the Senate’s top Democrat signaled Tuesday that Congress may fail to meet a year-end deadline for passing health care legislation, leaving the measure’s fate to the uncertainties of the 2010 election season.

Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., spoke as Democratic officials said it could be December before Senate debate begins in earnest on the issue atop President Barack Obama’s domestic agenda, months after senior lawmakers and the White House had hoped. The drive to pass legislation has been plagued for months by divisions within the party’s rank and file.

“This despicable attack on Assemblywoman Scozzafava offends me personally and exemplifies exactly what’s wrong with Hoffman and his right wing backers.”

• War is peace! Ignorance is strength! Rush Limbaugh’s nakedly sexist attack on Dede Scozzafava is “good feminism!”

US House: UN report on Gaza “war crimes” is biased

• Silly Richard Goldstone! Don’t you know that the only truly Fair & Balanced™©® report is one that says that the only good Palestinian is a dead Palestinian?

Who’s fascist now?

It’s getting ugly out there.

I just got off the phone with former state Democratic Chairwoman June O’Neill, who informed me the police had been called to at least two polling sites in St. Lawrence County due to overzealous electioneering (O’Neill called it “voter intimidation”) by Doug Hoffman supporters.

“We’ve gotten reports that people are standing there, covered with Hoffman stickers and yelling anti-choice stuff at voters,” said O’Neill, a St. Lawrence native who has been running the party’s GOTV effort for Bill Owens in NY-23.

“Apparently, there’s some woman claiming to be a commissioner,” O’Neill continued. “Commissioner of what, I don’t know. She’s from Texas, I think, and she won’t leave.”

“This is not the way we roll in the North Country.”

O’Neill also said she had received anecdotal reports of problems at polling sites in Gouverneur, which is Assemblywoman Dede Scozzafava’s hometown. But she couldn’t immediately confirm this.

And yet, in the words of “Dr.” Phil, “How’s that workin’ out for ya?”

ALBANY, N.Y. — A Democrat running in a historically Republican stronghold won a closely watched special congressional election in northern New York on Tuesday, capitalizing on a split that emerged between moderates and conservatives for control of the GOP.

With 92 percent of the precincts reporting early Wednesday, lawyer and retired Air Force Capt. Bill Owens defeated businessman Doug Hoffman, the Conservative Party candidate, 49 percent to 45 percent, after a boost from unified labor efforts in the last days of the campaign and the withdrawal of the Republican candidate over the weekend.

Uh huh. That’s what I thought.

MEMO TO THE CO-DEPENDENT DEMS: This post by the Great Orange Satan is required reading going into the 2010 midterms.

With “the conservative intelligentsia,” the correct order is “shoot first, shoot later, then shoot some more just for the hell of it.” “Try to figure out if it was too good to be true” never really enters into the equation. (That’s French and gay, don’cha know?)

The next time you decide to stab Obama in the back (Which will be, ohh…about five seconds from now!), have the guts to do it to his face.*
