Consider this your Monday brain break. We’ll start with the quote of the day, part one: Just because you don’t know what Sarah Palin is doing doesn’t mean that she doesn’t know what she’s doing. Part two comes compliments of Palin’s attorney speaking to Andrea Mitchell, who, by the way, is taking Michael Jackson Tuesday [...]

‘Morning Joe’ Gets It Wrong on Hate Speech
–updated– I was extremely glad to see that Keith Olbermann had someone on to talk about the Holocaust Museum tragedy who wasn’t taking the moment to make a convoluted political statement about Israel and the Middle East, as Jack Levin did the night before. Here’s what Levin said: “But let me also point out that [...]

Is This A Joke?
via Tbogg Don Surber has written a post that defies rational thought. It’s actually entitled “Why the left ridicules women,” in which he opens with the following nonsense: Too many American liberals cannot handle a strong, good-looking, intelligent, independent woman who disagrees with them — and so they make the crude, cruel and sexist remarks… [...]

John Cornyn reached critical mass, when he couldn’t even navigate the complexities of booking a single speaker to last night’s big GOP fundraising event. The day after, pick your headlines. From Politico: Sarah Palin makes little splash at [...]

Hunting Sotomayor
Republicans are now in a full on hunt to kill Judge Sotomayor’s nomination. G. Gordon Liddy referring to Judge Sotomayor’s cycle: Let’s hope that the key conferences aren’t when she’s menstruating or something, or just before she’s going to menstruate. That would really be bad. Lord knows what we would get then. Rush Limbaugh comparing [...]

Rush Plays the Race Card Against Sotomayor
–updated– Sotomayor as a child. Rush Limbaugh went on quite a tirade today. I heard it. Here’s part of it: So, here you have a racist. You might want to soften that and you might wanna say a reverse racist. And the libs, of course, say that minorities cannot be racists because they don’t have [...]

Wanda Too Mean To Rush
When you clip and truncate quotes, or in this case, a comedienne’s routine, you’re actually guiltier than the person you’re attempting to smear, due to the dishonesty of your actions. You also don’t have to like the comic’s routine, but when you book her you at least know what you’re getting. The final evidence is [...]

Dick Cheney’s Bet
What motivates Dick Cheney? It’s not what people think, though Mr. Cheney should be worried about his role in U.S. torture policy, though he’ll likely never be held to account. So, it’s not that. Though as Greg Sargent reports, we may get the “holy grail” evidence Cheney keeps talking about soon. If we get hit [...]

Hu-Rah
A computerized medical system the streamlines veteran medical records, which will aid vets in getting treated more quickly and efficiently. That’s just the beginning, though it will take great effort to manifest. President Obama announced it yesterday. It’s long overdue. [...] The announcements are part of a larger effort to improve services for veterans. Mr. [...]

Budget Reviews: Obama Wins
I know I’ve said it before, but what a week for the American President. … as well as Democrats, because as you’ll see below, there was nary a Republican to be found. We’re also learning about Obama’s crisp reminder to bank executives, which came via anonymous sources, but provides a delicious quote of the day. [...]

Trucker TV
…and I mean that in a positive sense. If you saw my husband’s truck you’d get it (most of you have heard me talk about it). After Phil Griffin did his best to throw a curve ball, stating MSNBC might do reruns, “The Ed Show” is in. This is the gig Schultz has wanted for [...]

Tammy Bruce Calls First Lady ‘Trash’
It’s hard to believe that the insulting invectives could go any lower than they did during the Clinton administration. Yes, Kenneth Starr dragged first lady Hillary Clinton into testify, putting her through hell even though it was all just for his grandiose political hunting. But at least Starr had the creativity to concoct a case [...]
Chuck Todd Needs Smelling Salts
Just think if Josh Marshall had gotten his wish and Chuck Todd had gotten the nod to host “Meet the Press.” We’d be getting Todd’s non-stop drivel like what was offered this morning on “First Read”: Is Robert Gibbs’ open disdain for Cheney acceptable to a president who promised to move beyond petty political squabbling? [...]
Gibbs: ‘I guess Rush Limbaugh was busy…’
It’s the quote of the day, because it gives you an idea of just how unwound the wingnuts are today, as seen through their spokesmen. Gibbs continues: “…so they trotted out the next most popular member of the Republican cabal.” Whatever Mr. Cheney thought he’d accomplish in the John King interview backfired in a big [...]
