Somebody is in deep doodoo:

LAS VEGAS — Nevada Senator John Ensign is in the crosshairs of a Department of Justice criminal investigation.

The criminal probe stems from a romantic affair Ensign had with the wife of his key staffer and close friend, Doug Hampton, and what Ensign has done to help Hampton financially.

Subpoenas have been issued to at least six las vegas businesses. The Justice Department came to Las Vegas to interview several prominent business and political figures in what appears to be a wide-ranging and deadly-serious criminal probe.

GOP – grand old pestorkers.

These compassionate conservatives will be the death of us:

An evangelical Christian hate group called “Repent Amarillo” is reportedly terrorizing the town of Amarillo, Texas. Repent fashions itself as a sort of militia and targets a wide range of community members they deem offensive to their theology: gays, liberal Christians, Muslims, environmentalists, breast cancer events that do not highlight abortion, Halloween, “spring break events,” and pornography shops. On its website, Repent has posted a “Warfare Map” of its enemies in town.

And if you’ve lost Little Green Footballs, well …

Tim Pawlenty, second-string veep contender to Sarah Palin, shows that maybe John McCain made a better choice than we thought:

Conservatives could learn a lot from Tiger Woods’ wife Elin, Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty said at the Conservative Political Action Conference today.

“She said, I’ve had enough,” Pawlenty said. “We should take a page out of her playbook and take a 9-iron and smash the window out of big government.”

Freedom! Freedom! Freedom!

Pornographic magazine model Sen Scott Brown (R-Raytheon) went on Neil Cavuto’s Fox News hatecast yesterday to rationalize the teabagger kamikaze attack on the IRS building in Austin, describing it as a precipitate of the opacity and diabolical nature of the current administration.

When Cavuto asked Brown to comment on teabagger kamikaze Joe Stack’s daylight attack on an IRS office in a single-engine plane that left at least one person dead and a number wounded, the naked senator went for the narcissistic angle first and then the psychopathic.

And yes, I have to post the obligatory Stormy photo:

Vitter isn’t as vulnerable as I’d like.

When Vitter’s scandal broke in 2007, some left his political career for dead. Two years later, his re-election campaign is humming along. He has racked up more than $3 million in his campaign treasury. Christian conservative leaders have come to his defense. The head of Louisiana’s Republican party says Vitter deserves another term representing the state, and Vitter has yet to draw a strong GOP opponent as some had predicted.

God loves me and wants me to prosper! Even if I have to buy all my own books with other people's money! That's how much God wants me to prosper! Why do you hate God's love for me?! Why do you hate God?!

Insane, incompetent narcissistic fame-junkie Sarah ‘Talibunny’ Palin will go down in history as the veep candidate that poured America’s candy dish into her panties on her way out – if she’d only fucking leave.

The snowbilly grifter’s desperate cackling lunges at any and all opportunities for self-promotion and/or cashing in on her bizarre and over-ripe moment of notoriety have become the stuff of legend.

The monstrous horror that Bank of America, and its noxious acquisition, Countrywide Financial, have cast upon this land extends far beyond lunatic abandonment of underwriting quality, knowing sale of worthless mortgages to securities firms and wanton, savage disregard for the financial health of its customers.

This criminal enterprise is so completely mad in the babbling, demented fury of its death throes that it is seizing buildings with which it has no foreclosure standing. Arrive at home and find that the  locks have been torn out and replaced? The electrical power’s been cut? Surprise, Bank of America’s come for a visit!

Ha! Hahaha! Hahahahahahahahahahahaha! Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeere’s BofA!
