Appearing at the fascist think tank Media Research Center’s annual DisHonors Awards, Joe the Womanless Schlong Beater, responded to applause by admitting the accolades were making his dick hard.

Damn she can bring the stupid:

We now have an illustrious addition to the ranks of Republican governors turning down stimulus money: Sarah Palin.

Palin has announced that she is rejecting $416 million, out of $930 million originally headed to her state. “We are not requesting funds intended to just grow government,” Palin said in a statement. “We are not requesting more money for normal day-to-day operations of government as part of this economic stimulus package.
