Meghan McCain is a Twit on Twitter

Yesterday at 12:30, this tweet from Meghan McCain: “Rielle Hunter’s photos in GQ magazine is [sic] possibly the most tasteless thing I have ever seen – I guess one should expect nothing less.”

Have you seen them? They are kinda repulsive and weird. And her whole “I forgot I wasn’t wearing pants” excuse falls on very, very deaf ears.

Bottom line: I admit they creep me out, but it is Meghan McCain who’s calling her out…..

The Meghan McCain who posted this picture on her twitter page in October.

The Meghan McCain who titled her upcoming book “Dirty, Sexy, Politics: A True Story“.

Good thing Meghan only said it was “possibly the most tasteless thing” she’d ever seen. Absolute statements are soooo damning.

Sorry Andy Warhol for bringing you into this–backwards. And oh yeah, sorry to Rielle’s daughter Quinn who is in for a lifetime of hurt.

Mitt Romney: My Plan Is Nothing Like His Plan

Despite the widely acknowledged similarities between Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney’s 2006 health care “experiment” and President Obama’s proposed reforms, Romney wants to make it perfectly clear that the two plans are utterly and totally different. Got it? NOT THE SAME.

Equating the two is like comparing apples to oranges, dogs to cats, horses to, uh, donkeys. Wait, those two things are kind of similar. Oops!

On Fox News Sunday, Romney told host Chris Wallace that the difference between his plan and Obama’s is like:

. . . the difference between a racehorse and a donkey, if you will, so — they both have four legs, but one works pretty well and the other’s not working and would not work at all.

Ignoring for a moment the fact that this analogy is totally bass-ackwards (so to speak) — since, last time I checked, donkeys are far better suited to working than their speedy, spindly-legged cousins — the two things being compared are really not all that dissimilar. Kind of like Romneycare and Obamacare. Huh, imagine that.

But according to Romney, the two plans are really (he swears) totally different because one is a state plan, and the other is federal. As Romney explained to Wallace:

A big difference — a state plan versus a federal plan. No new taxes, unlike his plan. No cut in Medicare, unlike his plan. And no controls over insurance premiums, price controls, cost controls like his plan. So very, very different in that regard.

Let me explain a little something about our government here, Mittens. Governors work at the state level, and presidents at the federal level. So yeah, that would be one big difference between the two plans. A ridiculously obvious one, but a difference nevertheless.

Republican Lawmaker Caught in a Gay Bar, Take 756

Stories like this are like shooting self-loathing Republican fish in a barrel.

Sources tell CBS13 a state senator from Southern California was arrested for allegedly driving drunk after leaving Faces, a gay nightclub in midtown Sacramento, early Wednesday morning.

The California Highway Patrol pulled over Senator Roy Ashburn at 2:00 a.m. Wednesday after an officer noticed a black Chevy Tahoe swerving at 13th and L Streets.

Ashburn, a father of four, is a Republican Senator representing parts of Kern, Tulare and San Bernardino Counties with a history of opposing gay rights. …

A male passenger, who was not identified as a lawmaker, was also in the car but was not detained.

You know where this is going.

Sen. Ashburn has repeatedly voted against marriage or even civil-union rights for same-sex couples during his eight years in the state senate. As he responded to a 2004 Project Vote Smart survey:

j) Should same-sex couples be allowed to form civil unions?

Sen. Ashburn: No

k) Should marriage be restricted to a union only between a man and a woman?

Sen. Ashburn: Yes

And his voting record? In the last year or so, he has voted “nay” against instituting a Harvey Milk Day (which passed), against recognizing out-of-state marriages between gay couples (which passed), and against anti-discrimination laws that govern coverage for gay people under insurance policies and government services (which passed).

Looks like the cat is out of the closet now, though.

Lone Wolves Beware: Obama Joins the Pack on Patriot Act

Hat tip to Deceiver reader “Fortunate Son” for the heads-up on this.

In 2005, then-Senator Barack Obama supported changes to the PATRIOT Act that would have put telecommunications companies in the line of fire. Mainly, he railed against the whole wiretapping thing. In a speech before the The Woodrow Wilson Center On Terrorism in August 2007, Obama said:

That means no more illegal wiretapping of American citizens … no more ignoring the law when it is inconvenient. That is not who we are, and it’s not what is necessary to defeat the terrorists.

Anyway, wiretapping tapped a nerve in the American people. Some loved Obama’s guts and panache. The anthrax-killer loved it too.  Remember the white-powder-will-never-mean-the-same-thing-again guy?

Sarah Palin’s Grandkid Enjoys the Perks of Socialized Medicine

By Holly Won't 57 Comments Digg! Digg this

It’s not a secret that Sarah Palin is no fan of “socialized medicine.” The former governor of Alaska has been very vocal about her thoughts on Facebook and Twitter:

And I think reasonable people can disagree about health-care reform, but Sarah Palin seems to have conveniently forgotten that one of the average Americans who gets to benefit from taxpayer-subsidized health care (a.k.a. “big govt growth”) is her own grandson, Tripp.

As these documents from the custody case between Bristol Palin and Levi Johnston indicate, one-year-old Tripp receives his health care from the federally funded Indian Health Services and the Alaska Native Medical Center. Levi is therefore off the hook for paying for his son’s health insurance, as the legal filing says:

“Because the majority of Tripp’s health care costs are already covered by IHS and the Alaska Native Medical Center, Mr. Johnston has no need to purchase additional health insurance and this deduction should not be allowed.”

Must be nice, not having to pay for health insurance for your infant. But helping more kids of young single parents get health insurance is what reform should be all about, right?

Yay! New Jokes!

Guess which one had the important job.

One trick pony (my nickname in high school) Tina Fey is just dying to reprise the role that made her world famous. No not the teacher in that Lindsay Lohan movie. And no, not as that one person she apparently plays to a “T” on that one show with the currently sober (?) Baldwin brother on The Learning Channel or wherever it is.

Nope! OHMYGOD!OHMYGOD!OHMYGOD!!!!1!one!! Sarah Palin! I can’t wait!

I hope there’s a lot of  those “I can see my house…” jokes. I’m doing lots of side crunches to prepare for them. (Gotta strengthen up those laugh muscles, you know.) And she plans on doing it in April on that show that you didn’t even know was still on — Saturday Night Live:

“It’s inevitable that we’ll try it, at least,” Fey said in an interview Tuesday. “We’ll see if it makes it to air.”

“It was the strangest thing that’s ever happened to me,” Fey said. “I’ve never had anything fall in my lap like that. Everything is usually me trying to convince the people of Earth that it’s OK for me to perform. … That felt like the opposite.”

Get that, you foolish Earthling? She’s talented!

I read somewhere a couple of years ago, you know when she said she wasn’t gonna do this anymore, because “she’s tired of that woman” or whatever she purred from behind her sexy fetish eyeglasses. Then SNL’s ratings shot up a whopping 70% (sooo… they went from 30 to 100 viewers then?). Hey, she even won an Emmy as guest actress for one of her four guest appearances, and, AND!  a 2008 AP Entertainer of the Year Award. Whatever the hell that is.

Gee I wonder what might’ve prompted this. I mean, she was all “I’m over that shiz,” and now it’s all, “bring back the Sarah Payless!” So with some sleuthing (you know … reading the article), I discovered that she has a brand spanking new movie coming out April 9th alongside Steve “Box Office Poison” Carell. I am so there. No, that’s a complete lie. I won’t see it.

That’s So Retarded Differently-Abled

By Pastafarian 42 Comments Digg! Digg this

Guess who’s mad at “Family Guy“?

WRONG! Not me. I hate that show.  (You’d have to be a retard to think it’s funny.) Time’s up! It’s Sarah Palin.

Why? Because one of their “comedy” writers managed, somehow,  to work a retard reference, about the fat guy’s son Chris who is apparently dating a retard,  into a retarded show that’s watched almost exclusively by retards.

Chris asks his date what her parents do for a living, and she replies:

My dad’s an accountant, and my mom is the former governor of Alaska.

HAHA! OH NO SHE DI’INT!

So timely. I hope next week they can work in a Judge Ito joke.

Revenge of the Plumber

Two years, one book deal and countless speaking engagements since his rise to fame during the 2008 presidential elections, Joe the Plumber (a.k.a. Samuel J. Wurzelbacher) has had enough. No, not enough of the spotlight, but of being “used” by those damnable politicians.

All together now . . . Aw, poor Joe!

In what appears to be a bid to stretch his expired 15 minutes of fame into a full half-hour, Wurzelbacher emerged from a year of near-obscurity with a vengeance — and some choice fightin’ words for a couple of America’s political sweethearts.

So who is now in Joe’s crosshairs? No, not Obama, Biden, or Clinton, but rather the two people directly responsible for creating his public persona as the poster-plumber of small business loving middle America: John McCain and Sarah Palin.

CNN reports:

“John McCain is no public servant,” Wurzelbacher said at a campaign rally Saturday in Pennsylvania for long shot gubernatorial candidate Sam Rohrer. Later, in an interview with Pennsylvania Public Radio, he dismissed the suggestion that he owes his fame to McCain.

“I don’t owe him sh*t,” Wurzelbacher said. “He really screwed my life up, is how I look at it.”

“McCain was trying to use me,” he said. “I happened to be the face of middle Americans. It was a ploy.”

Wurzelbacher said he’s also done with Sarah Palin because she is backing McCain’s re-election bid in Arizona.

Is it just me or does this just not make any damn sense? Does this guy not realize that without the McCain-Palin campaign there would be no “Joe the Plumber,” and by extension no publicist to help him land speaking engagements, book deals, or record contracts? (Yes, you read that correctly.) Apparently not.

Captain America Not Welcome at This Tea Party

So, is it just me or do some people have trouble — a lot of trouble — with the whole concept of the First Amendment? ‘Cause from where I’m standing, we shouldn’t even be having this discussion. But then again, I feel like that a lot.

What by all rights shouldn’t even have ranked as a skirmish in the endless war between (choose your epithet) Liberals and (choose your epithet) Conservatives has grown into a full-fledged battle. At the center of the debate? Not health care, education, energy, taxes, or anything else that matters, but the latest edition of Marvel Comics’ Captain America.

True/Slant’s Rick Ungar explains:

For those who may not have followed the brouhaha, Marvel got in trouble with the Tea Party this week as a result of a Captain America episode where Cap and his sidekick, The Falcon, are investigating a right wing, anti-government militia group called “The Watchdogs.”

In the offending scene, the two heroes are watching an all-white, anti-tax rally taking place below their vantage point high above the crowd. Captain America wants to send The Falcon, who is African American, into the crowd by posing as an IRS agent. Falcon isn’t too keen on the idea, saying “I don’t exactly see a black man from Harlem fitting in with a bunch of angry white folks.”

Meanwhile, a panel revealing the crowd shows them holding signs very much like those we see at Tea Party rallies.

Now, you just know that ain’t going to go over well with a certain demographic.

James Cameron Lives on Another Planet (Not Pandora)

By Holly Won't 20 Comments Digg! Digg this

Cocky-as-ever James Cameron wants you to know he doesn’t give a rat’s ass if he wins enough Oscars to play chess with on March 7, because Avatar is about more than that, you know.

And he has this to say to his “right-wing” critics:

“Let me put it this way. I’m happy to piss those guys off. I don’t agree with their worldview.” As for his detractors’ contempt for his environmental consciousness, dramatized in the film by the callous destruction of the Na’vi’s pastoral world, Cameron says that the film’s environmental message is a lesson for all moviegoers to digest. He explains that our planet “will be a dying world if we don’t make some fundamental changes about how we view ourselves and how we view wealth …. We’re going to have to live with less.”

Says the guy who lives in a 6-bedroom, 7-bath 8,272 square foot Malibu dream house.

Look, I enjoyed Avatar as a work of fiction. But for reals, James Cameron? Is this new way to “view wealth” why you’ve obviously given away all the money you’ve made from Terminator, Terminator 2, Titanic, and Avatar? I mean, the least he could do is donate his hair to Locks of Love.

The real message of Avatar? People in glass mansions shouldn’t throw stones.
