Right-Wing Moral Relativism

Posted: Friday, February 8th, 2008 @ 5:02 pm in Political | No Comments »

While everyone’s talking and thinking about Campaign 2008, the Attorney General of the United States says that CIA waterboarding in 2002-03 was legal, and thus the DOJ cannot investigate the matter. Vice President Dick Cheney calls CIA waterboarding of terror suspects “a good thing.” The White House says the CIA could do it [...]

Superdumb

Can someone explain to me why this is supposed to be a big deal:
The Democrats are so dirty, it’s freakin frightening. Nancy Pelosi’s very plain-jane daughter is a SUPERDELEGATE to the Democratic convention, meaning she gets extra votes for Hillary or whoever.
HOW did she get to be a “superdelegate”? She says she “ran for the [...]

Verrückte Pammys Fahrt Zum Himmel

Yes, readers, Crazy Pammy went a little too far when she passed on Jack “Young Indiana Jones” Wheeler’s execrable sliming of John McCain [see below].
Some voices in the right-wing blogosphere have spoken up to condemn her and/or Jack Wheeler, notably Beth of MY Vast Right Wing Conspiracy (who left a comment here on this blog [...]

As the McCain backlash spreads like a wildfire across the right-wing Internet, who’s the first wingnut blogger to go to the bottom of the barrel? You guessed it, readers — it’s Crazy Pammy!
Today she reprinted a disgusting and ludicrous article by wingnut Jack Wheeler (the self-styled “Indiana Jones of the Right,” who we last [...]

The year dot

Are you familiar with the expression the year dot, readers? I ran across it in a Nation column by Katha Pollitt:
[I]f you have to explain your decisions on your website, you’re already in trouble. Because that invites the rejected advertiser to critique your editorial content going back to the year dot…
Was that a typo, [...]

Mitt Romney n’est pas un vrai américain

Yikes, readers! Thanks to Gordo of Appletree, we now have proof that MITT ROMNEY IS NOT A REAL AMERICAN.
He speaks… French. And he speaks it well. En voici la preuve, chers lecteurs –

I’m sure you all remember, chers lecteurs, how big a deal it was in 2004 that John Kerry spoke French, [...]

Why the backlash?

Posted: Sunday, February 3rd, 2008 @ 6:01 pm in Political | 2 Comments »

I don’t understand the recent conservative backlash against McCain, readers. John McCain is an out-and-out wingnut, and I think his record speaks for itself.
He’s consistently anti-choice, he wants to make the Bush tax cuts permanent, he’s all in favor of continuing a foreign policy of unilateral truculence, death, and destruction.
Let’s put it this way, [...]
