Douchebag of the Day
Randall Terry:
The Moran town hall was the last stop on a 10-city tour for Randall Terry, the anti-abortion activist known for his extreme tactics.
Terry’s colleagues put on a skit with a man in an Obama mask pretending to whip a bloodied woman, who kept saying, “Massa, don’t hit me no more. I got the money to kill the babies.”
Terry himself dressed in a doctor’s lab coat and pretended to stab a woman in a gray wig.
“There’s no way to pay for this thing without killing granny,” Terry explained.
There’s really nothing I can add to that.

TJ: On the heels of Teddy, Dominick Dunne died. Who’s the third one going to be? J.D. Salinger?

Andrew Breitbart is a steaming pile of class as usual.
@lynnlightfoot: What an a amazing picture. I put the site on my bookmark bar. Thanks.
@lynnlightfoot: What a breathtaking spectacle! I find it curiously reassuring to know that the world retains its magic in the face of humanity’s penchant for self-destruction. It’s comforting to know we can’t ruin everything.
@SanFranLefty: Damn. At least he lived to see Phil Spector behind bars.
Anyone note the whitewash of his divorce in the WAPO a month or so ago. Difficult divorce, I think they called it.
One hand does wash the other, now doesn’t it?
