Seriously, North Carolina?

North Carolina has apparently decided that this would be a good time to go full-on birther:

Richard Hudson, considered a leading Republican candidate in the race to unseat Democratic U.S. Rep. Larry Kissell in the 8th Congressional District, told a Tea Party group in Rowan County recently that “there’s no question President Obama is hiding something on his citizenship.”

Dr. John Whitley, one of Hudson’s opponents in Tuesday’s primary, declared Obama’s birth certificate a “poorly reproduced forgery” after comparing it to the Hawaiian birth certificate of one of his campaign workers.

“There is a tremendous amount of smoke here,” Whitley said. “In fact, it’s called a smoke screen.”

Mecklenburg County Commissioner Jim Pendergraph, one of 10 GOP candidates in Tuesday’s primary in the 9th Congressional District, said this week that he’s not convinced Obama was born in the United States.

Mitt Romney is Pathetic, Spineless, Shameless

And probably a few other things too.



You seriously can't take 5 seconds away from your stupid talking point recital to say "impeached? What the fuck for, you crazy old bat?"
You're really in such a hurry to get to your "Constitution was divinely inspired" nonsense that you can't take 2 minutes to explain that in order to be impeached you have to have committed high crimes and misdemeanors, (or get a blowjob).
Also, if you're going to claim that the Constitution was "inspired," how are you explaining the whole slavery part?

Yes, and Troll 2 was a nearly flawless film.

Bachmann: Campaign was 'almost mistake-free'
By Justin Sink - 05/04/12 01:04 PM ET

Michele Bachmann said that aside from a few minor stumbles, her short-lived presidential campaign was "extremely careful" and "almost mistake-free."

Minor stumbles? Seriously? I don't remember any minor stumbles. I remember the most perfect campaign since President Bartlett's re-election. So what were these couple of minor stumbles?

Michele Bachmann: I think one thing I learned is a person has to be extremely careful with what they say. Make sure you have Elvis Presley’s birthday down, because that’s very important, and know where John Wayne was born. Those are two extremely important pieces of information.

Oh, right. I guess maybe there were a couple of things you might have done differently, like:
Maybe don't try to blame Jimmy Carter for Swine Flu?
Or maybe don't suggest eliminating the minimum wage?
Or maybe don't sign a pledge that contains language about how much better black folks had it during slavery?
Or claim that the Founding Fathers worked tirelessly to end slavery?
Or state that the shot heard 'round the world was fired in New Hampshire?
Or trash Medicare while your husband's "clinic" collects thousands of dollars from them?
Or claim that the hpv vaccine causes retardation?

 But, yeah, it was pretty much the John Wayne thing and the Elvis thing. Ohter than that, perfect. Just ask whoever this hack interviewer is:

David Brody: You ran pretty much an impeccable campaign, in terms of a mistake-free campaign.

Michele Bachmann: Thank you, it really was.

David Brody: It pretty much was.

Bachmann: It really was, we were extremely careful, and we were almost mistake-free, but for those two points, Elvis Presley’s birthday and John Wayne’s birthplace. I’ve apologized, and we moved beyond.

So who is this David Brody? Well, according to his CBN bio,

David Brody

David Brody is an Emmy Award winning 23 year veteran news journalist

Oh, no, wait. We're thinking of David Broder, it does not go on to say.

David is also a political contributor to Glenn Beck's GBTV network  

Oh, okay. Got it.

Thank You, Kellog's Cereals!

Kellog's cereal company recently issued this statement in response to Bill Donahue's demand that they pull their advertising from the Daily Show because Jon Stewart hates the pope or something:

“We understand that our customers come from a variety of backgrounds, experiences, lifestyles, and cultures and we respect their individual decisions to choose the television programs that they deem acceptable for themselves and their families. Consumers speak most loudly when they vote with their remote control and change the channel or turn off the TV if a program does not fit their personal criteria.”

It's always nice to see a company stand up to a punk like Donahue.


Here is the statement Donahue issued in response:

THIS SHALL NOT STAND!

    In other words, Kellogg’s is telling Christians to shove it. But they made a mistake. We will now send the indefensible picture to their senior management and board, as well as to community leaders, religious and secular, throughout Battle Creek, Michigan. We are also calling for a national boycott of all Kellogg’s cereals. Moreover, I will notify the public via TV, radio and our website about their collapse of decency. This is just for starters. We have the time, money, and the determination to give Kellogg’s some free advertisement.

We will move Heaven and Earth to stop Jon Stewart from putting a naughty picture on the teevee machine! Honest to God, we have nothing better with which to concern ourselves! We have no lives, we have no other interests, we are completely oblivious to current events. We will stop at nothing to end the naughty picture assault, and to this end we pledge our lives, our fortunes, and our, um, what else? Anyway, this is the hill on which I choose to die!

For caturday, THIS:
