“49% of GOP voters nationally say they think that ACORN stole the election for President Obama. We found that 52% of Republicans thought that ACORN stole the 2008 election for Obama, so this is a modest decline, but perhaps smaller than might have been expected given that ACORN doesn’t exist anymore.” [PPP, via Political Wire]

“Gov. Mitt Romney’s campaign toasted its top donors Wednesday aboard a 150-foot yacht flying the flag of the Cayman Islands.” The yacht is called — wait for it — the Cracker Bay. [ABC]

Update: It’s Bermuda. We should know better than to trust Brian Ross.

Update II:

Upon further review, there are in fact multiple Cayman Island flags, and it appears that the original report by ABC News’ Brian Ross correctly identified the flag flying on the boat in question. The Washington Free Beacon regrets the error.

We should know better than to trust the Washington Free Beacon.

Mitt in Michigan: “I love being home, in this place where Ann and I were raised, where the both of us were born. No one’s ever asked to see my birth certificate. They know that this is the place where we were born and raised.” [TPM]

Fucking idiots:

New York congressman Anthony Weiner resigned in disgrace a full year ago, admitting to having sent lewd photos to female fans of his on Twitter.

But for one corner of the Internet, Weinergate is very much not over. A group of liberal bloggers believe that Anthony Weiner was blackmailed by Andrew Breitbart into a false confession, and are carrying out a lonely Twitter crusade to spread their theory — in spite of the fact that Weiner himself has never claimed this to be the case.

Even Weiner’s constituents didn’t want him to resign, but because we are a “Christian Nation”, the fainting-couch faithful (and Pelosi) got their way. He sent dick pix people. Get over it.

Lady gets on a plane, wearing this t-shirt. Flight proceeds uneventfully. But as the plane is about to land, she’s approached by the flight attendant:

She then proceeded to tell me that I needed to speak with the captain before disembarking the plane and that the shirt I was wearing was offensive.

Here’s how ThinkProgress headlines it:

Woman Kicked Off Flight For Wearing A Pro-Choice T-Shirt

Yeah. Right. We’re all for obscene outrage, but own what you wear.

“A chief of staff to former Maryland Gov. Robert L. Ehrlich (R) was found guilty on Tuesday on four counts, including election fraud, for his role in setting up robocalls intended to surpress minority voting turnout in the final hours of Election Day last year.” [TPM]

The Shocking! discovery:

A Bloomberg Markets investigation has found that Koch Industries — in addition to being involved in improper payments to win business in Africa, India and the Middle East — has sold millions of dollars of petrochemical equipment to Iran, a country the U.S. identifies as a sponsor of global terrorism.

The Loophole:

Internal company documents show that the company made those sales through foreign subsidiaries, thwarting a U.S. trade ban.

So the teabagger-funding Koch Brothers are — Gasp! — evil. But we already knew that. It’ll certainly be fun watching their supplicants dance around the news, but unless wingnuts take up the cause, this ain’t goin’ nowhere.
