Now we know, the liberal media really does think we're all just a bunch of Dirty Fucking Hippies...

"...but I gotta say, Contessa, just because so much of the commentary I've heard has been really idiotic. Liberals who want universal health care ought to be thanking Harry Reid for getting this thing done rather than talking about what's inadequate in the bill. I'm not saying the bill's a good bill, but if you're a liberal, and you want universal coverage in this country, and think that you could do better than Harry Reid, can do better than what he's done, or the White House can do better, they ought to lay off the hallucinogenic drugs because we have had a vivid demonstration of the limits of political possibilities on this issue."

In Case You Missed It

The Washington Redskins ran a picture perfect fake field goal last night against the hated New York Giants. You gotta love rivalry games; it doesn't get any better than this:

Framing Democrats

Howard Dean was interviewed on Meet the Press this morning. That schlub David Gregory came up with this gem while discussing the in-fighting among Democrats on the health care reform bill:

Gregory: "Are you prepared to leave the Democratic Party?"

The quizzical and annoyed look on Dean's face was priceless. "Of course not," Dean replied. What a ridiculous question.

Health Care Reform, by National Lampoon

Just because they're calling it health care "coverage" doesn't mean that's what it is. Without the so-called public option or a "Medicare buy-in" of some freaking sort or another, this health care bill is nothing more than a back-alley mugging. That is to say, if I don't want your shitty-ass health insurance policy you're telling me I still have to buy it?!?

I think we've been down this road before.

Overheard at McCarthy's

Jerry shows up for his shift (at about 12 noon on a Saturday), surveys the scene and says, quite matter-of-factly:

"Looks like a meeting of the world's biggest losers in here."

Happy Kwanzaa!

Robert DeNiro and Bruce Springsteen don their Kwanzaa ribbons for a celebration with the President at the White House. [j/k]

Easy Livin'

Anytime I see a list of the "Worst Burgers in America," that list goes right into my back pocket. What...are they trying to discourage people from going to In-n-Out?!?

WTF is that about?

What About the War?

While I share Dylan Ratigan's disgust over this travesty of a health care reform bill, as I watched this vid I was left with only one overriding question: Where was this level of outrage during the entirety of the Bush Administration? I mean, come on, they fucked up the whole entire world over the course of 8 years, they diminished our reputation and made us an evil, almost universally hated laughingstock, and I can't recall one time -- not one time -- when a Bush crony was ever -- ever -- called out like Ratigan does here to Congresswoman Debbie Wasserman-Schultz.

What Has Lieberman Stuffed Up In That Sock?

This vid is 100% factual until the last 25 seconds or so...

"Major League Asshole"

With Senate Democrats bracing for an all night session aimed at moving the health care reform bill to a final vote before Christmas, word comes from Washington that [President] Droopy Lieberman -- yeah, that Lieberman, the crucial 60th vote -- has skipped town and headed home for the weekend (apparently rendering the whole exercise moot). It's perfectly clear now that this is all a big game to Lieberman, and he's is going to drag it out and embarrass his former party at every possible opportunity.

What a total douchebag.

Can't Fix a Steaming Pile of Crap

For those on the left who argue the prudent thing to do is pass this deeply-flawed train wreck of a health care reform bill and "fix it later," I have a question:

If fixing it later will be so easy, why don't we do it right the first time?

I'm not buying into the "fix it later" rationale for one stinking minute.

And Furthermore

Joe Droopy Lieberman has been an unctuous, santimonious, two-bit ass for a long, long time. He was the first Democrat to make a floor speech denouncing President Clinton and he campaigned against Barack Obama last fall.

Quite the Lothario

It's not so much that two teenage girls from Paso Robles up and took off with some transient, it's that they up and took off with a guy who looks like that. [Charles Manson anyone?]
