Staying classy, Joyce Thomann, the president of the Maryland based Republican Women of Ann Arundel County posted an observation on that group’s website that has some people talking:

Obama and Hitler have a great deal in common in my view. Obama and Hitler use the ‘blitzkrieg’ method to overwhelm their enemies. FAST, CARPET BOMBING intent on destruction. Hitler’s blitzkrieg bombing destroyed many European cities – quickly and effectively. Obama is systematically destroying the American economy and with it AMERICA. First the banking/investment industry, next private enterprise (GM and Chrysler) and now HEALTH CARE. And he is working on grabbing more of the American economy with his environmental extremism!

Also, guess what $400,000 in educational debt prevents you from doing?

More on this story here.

I have officially abandoned all hope:

For $25,000 to $250,000, The Washington Post is offering lobbyists and association executives off-the-record, nonconfrontational access to “those powerful few” — Obama administration officials, members of Congress, and the paper’s own reporters and editors.

The astonishing offer is detailed in a flier circulated Wednesday to a health care lobbyist, who provided it to a reporter because the lobbyist said he feels it’s a conflict for the paper to charge for access to, as the flier says, its “health care reporting and editorial staff.”

Have I mentioned how much I hate fucking Fred Hiatt?

Let’s get the very ugly facts out of the way first: Frank Lombard, an administrator at Duke University, has been charged with offering his five-year-old adopted son for sex on the Internet. Lombard allegedly used the screen name “perv dad for fun”.

Two other facts: Lombard is gay. And the child is black.

You can guess what happens next. But we’ll spare you the trouble.

We begin with Rush Limbaugh, who asks why the story isn’t getting the same play as the Duke lacrosse case:

Did you hear there has been an actual rape at Duke University? An actual rape in Durham, North Carolina. It’s not a phony one. Not a false charge. An actual rape. A guy sold his adopted 5-year-old son to a sex practitioner. A 5-year-old kid, yeah. There’s a problem with this, too, because the guy is gay, a gay adoption. This is why you haven’t heard about it. This does not fit the template.

Here’s a video tip SanFranLefty sent to us, showing insane host Glenn Beck and insane guest Michael Scheuer. Ha ha they love America so much they want to explode it.

Scheuer’s money quote:

The only chance we have as a country right now is for Osama bin Ladin to deploy and detonate a major weapon in the United States.

To which Beck, always the affable host, is like “yes, yes, of course we need that calamity to happen”

Beck then brings it home with this cogent analysis. . .

Mark Sanford admitted to an affair. Then Mark Sanford admitted to several other affairs where he did everything but put his little soldier where it didn’t belong. And now he has the biggest asshole in the Senate gunning for him:

South Carolina’s senior Senator believes that Gov. Mark Sanford’s future as Governor will be resolved in the next week. However, Sen. Jim DeMint stopped short of predicting Sanford would resign.

“Obviously I’m concerned of whether or not he is in a position that he can continue to lead the state and a number of us are talking to him quietly and hopefully it will be resolved,” said DeMint, during an appearance on Fox and Friends Wednesday morning.

“I think I’m going to stay out of predicting but I think we will see some resolution in the next week,” DeMint told Fox News’ Steve Doocy.
