Vindicated!

Oh, we the unwashed masses of the extremist conservative right, what right do we have to assemble peaceably in an effort to project our dissatisfaction with the over-spending, debt-riddled beast that is government?

Well, every right we would ever need guaranteed by the greatest political and societal document ever created, the Constitution.

We also reserve the right to not watch your terribly biased, shameful and disgusting efforts to tarnish one of the most well-received grass roots political efforts.

Lifting. . .

Looks like Suzanne Somers got carried away with the spray-on tan.

Or is this the result of too much FaceMaster?

Fox News: They report, we laugh at them.

An Admission. . .

I'm not the biggest Sean Hannity fan, mainly because he sounds like a parrot most of the time, repeating over and over his same old, tired policies of 8 years of the Bush white house, uh, I mean, he just repeats himself a lot and it's annoying. Every now and then, he'll say something quite profound in one of his long-winded rants, but he's still not my cup of tea.

His new program, minus whipping boy Alan Colmes, is certainly a more entertaining format than the Hannity and Colmes of yesteryear. I like Colmes, don't care for his liberal wingnut philosophies, but get him out of the context of television punditry, and he's a damned funny and witty man. Yet, last night, Hannity struck television gold on his "Great American Panel" portion of the show.

I would almost like to pry Hannity's head open just to see what was going on in there when he came up with this genius panel. It was Democratic Strategist Bob Beckel, one of McCain's advisors named Nicole Wallace and the greatest of all political analysts, the one and only ex-SNL dimbulb, Victoria Jackson.

It was freaking gold! The look on Bob Beckel's face when Victoria opened her mouth the first time was indescribable. I read somewhere this morning that it was like he saw an alien. And I agree, an alien with a giant pink bow in it's fly-away blonde hairdo.

I don't even remember what was discussed because I was so dumbfounded and laughing heartily and I am hoping to find video of the encounter. All I can say at this point is:

Victoria Jackson: 1
Bob Beckel: 0

So Much For The Fairness Doctrine. . .

"I see your true colors shining through. . ." -- Cyndi Lauper

John Edwards and Hillary Clinton were overheard discussing plans to cut out lesser canidates from future debates and forums. Boy, that's doing a lot for democracy and freedom of speech.

From WLUC and the AP:

They were caught by Fox News microphones discussing their desire to limit future joint appearances to exclude some lower rivals after a forum in Detroit Thursday.

Edwards says, "We should try to have a more serious and a smaller group."

Clinton agrees, saying, "We've got to cut the number" and "they're not serious." She also says that she thought their campaigns had already tried to limit the debates and say, "We've gotta get back to it."

Hey Hillary and John. . .UP YOURS, YOU HYPOCRITE BUTTHOLES!!
