The not-at-all-misleading caption reads: “Joe Wilson apologizes after shouting at Obama as he talked about insuring illegals.” Not that it makes any difference, of course, but Barack Obama’s exact words were:

“There are also those who claim that our reform efforts would insure illegal immigrants… this too is false.”

Now, maybe I’m just a little dense here, but would it not have been more accurate to say that Obama was talking about not insuring illegals? It’s a fine distinction, to be sure, that which holds between doing something and not doing something. Consider, for instance, the practically trivial difference between “No, I have not been drinking” and “Why yes, officer, as a matter of fact, I have been drinking… heavily” or “there are not dead hookers buried in his back yard” and “there are dead hookers buried in his back yard.” But then again, maybe I’m just reading too much into it. After all, it’s not like Fox News is known for pushing misleading GOP propaganda as news, or anything.

This might be the worst GOP talking-head performance yet:

Fuckwitted Republitard Uberfuhrer William Coder Got Busted Before He Pestorked a Lancaster Hooker - Sucks to Be Him. Ha. Haha. Hahahahahaha. Will Jesus Save Him From Going to Jail and Shit?

Not all of the Republican leadership in Pennsylvania are busy stealing from the dead. Some are allegedly cruising the streets trying to bribe crack whores into pestorking them, like William Coder, executive director of the county Republican Committee in Lancaster, PA.

The cops stuffed this Son O’ Caliguard into the bag on Thursday, while he was allegedly cruising the streets of Lancaster, PA apparently trying to score a pestorkorama with one or more of the ladies of the evening who loiter near the fetid hellhole around Penn Square in this lawless burgh.

Coder, attempting an imitation of a carbon-based life form with a conscience, tendered his resignation as the GOP county party uberfuhrer on Friday, according to the local rag. Coder told the local paper, doubtless eliciting fits of gasping laughter, that he maintained his alleged innocence and was simply in the “wrong place at the wrong time.”

Glenn Greenwald has a nice little rant posted on Salon, on meritocracy in America, which he put up as a reaction to the totally awesome news that Jenna Bush, who is now Jenna Hager, will be an NBC political correspondent (Suck it, Meghan McCain!).

Greenwald proposes a nice roundtable, with all the little children of famous people, Russerts, Bushes, McCains, Kristols, in some sort of vortex of nepotistic inanity, talking about how Sonia Sotomayor hasn’t earned her spot on the Supreme Court.  Good Stuff.

Artist Rendering of Jonathan Edwards Expressing His True Feelings for Diabolical Space Alien Rielle Hunter

Failed presidential candidate Jonathan “Johnny Mill” Edwards is reportedly ready to confess to siring a child with space alien Rielle Hunter, a creature from outer space who invented a past as a failed actress and seduced Edwards onto her space ship for savage, inter-species pestorking during Edwards’ last campaign for which she posed a ‘documentary maker’.

Like most people, I don’t like to admit I’m wrong. Oh sure, I’ve made mistakes a-plenty in my lifetime, but it still smarts to admit to them. So it is with heavy heart that I admit, here before the world, that I was wrong about one of the most pressing issues of the day: health care reform.

You see, up to now I’ve been an enthusiastic proponent of a single-payer system of universal coverage, figuring that the poor deserved the same medical care as the rich, and that the current for-profit system was findamentally unworkable.

Insane white supremacist and seventeenth-ranked cable TV fucktard Lou Dobbs is fast becoming one of the most hated and irrelevant assholes in the mediasphere, increasingly grasping at tactics handled with greater expertise by full-bore psychopaths like failed obscene phone caller and hatecaster Bill O’Reilly and unmedicated Mormon schizophrenic and dry drunk suicide candidate Glenn Beck.
