Why Lieberman is out

He said this:

Attending an event with Mr. McCain in York, Pa., in August, Mr. Lieberman said the race was “between one candidate, John McCain, who has always put the country first, worked across party lines to get things done, and one candidate who has not.”

My magnanimity is waning. I have nothing against the horse Joe rode in on. Joe, on the other hand, ...

A lot of people are kissing ass now. They think one little pruny-lipped peck is enough. In reality, they owe some serious and continuing open-mouthed smooching, so much that it really looks as though they like it. Joe? I don't even want to be as crude as to say what he has to do.

Wingnut proof

Here's the kind of deranged lunatic that the wingnuts believe in.

For those of us who learn from experience, the first response to any new claim from the right should be, "Oh, I hadn't heard that, but based on past claims, it's almost sure to be bullshit just like the rest."

Roger Ailes doesn't give a damn

Fox "News" is a blight upon the American media landscape. Could their reactionary politics be any better displayed by their slips of the tongue?

As it turns out, yes:

[Liz Trotta's] mea culpa followed that of former Gov. Mike Huckabee of Arkansas a week earlier after he made a similar crack at a gathering of the National Rifle Association.

In other news, Fox News Channel announced today that it was hiring Mr. Huckabee as a contributor.

If Huckabee had said something about whitey, well, that wouldn't be so easily forgiven.

(Of course I mean the evil Roger Ailes, not the good one.)
