More Palin Fans Struggle to Explain Stuff
Continuing the inarticulate theme, here's another gathering of Palin supporters. Insofar as "drill, baby, drill" was invented by Michael Steele and not Sarah Palin -- again, her political ideas...
Deficit Shmeficit
I think if you were to ask anyone in a non-polling setting whether they'd rather see job creation or deficit reduction, I can't imagine they'd go, "Screw feeding my family! I want to cut the deficit...
Blanche Lincoln Is An Idiot
Because she still thinks that moving to the right will help her win reelection. She's making a huge mistake with crap like this: I've already alerted the Leader and I'm promising my colleagues that...
Morning Joe
Joe Scarborough thinks the $3 trillion Iraq war that was accompanied by tax cuts didn't balloon the deficit more than the current healthcare bill. You know, the healthcare bill that's entirely paid...

Tea Party: The Movie
This is not a joke. More doofs who very likely voted for Bush twice.
Words Fail
David Benjamin might have tapped into the psychology: Sooner or later, words fail everyone. This goes double for Sarah and her faithful. Sarah Palin is the voice - and the embodiment - of the...
Glenn Beck's Shadow Cabinet
Glenn Beck announced he's assembling a group of "advisers" to form his Punch-Me Face Clown College. They're going to teach wingnuts how to be wingnuttier. The plan after the jump.

Lies and Lying Lieberman
He insists that President Obama never mentioned the public option during the campaign. He's lying. But I'm sure Chuck Todd will find a way to blame this on the president.
Worst Person
Chuck Todd for this. This Twitter of his is shockingly bad. Why? Because he should know that healthcare reform has never reached this stage. He should know that the Democrats aren't a lockstep party...
Senate Debate Open Thread
Document the misinformation and nincompoopery as the Senate debates the healthcare reform bill. Cloture vote at around 8 p.m. EST. UPDATE: Cloture.
