Well, even if he does resign, he can still put “U.S. Senator” on his mausoleum.
Wow, I can’t belie it! Of all the psychotic, frothing at the mouth, reactionary, nutjobs, Michelle Malkin is the last person I’d put on my reverse-order-list of people likely to call Obama a Nazi.
Arkansas has just passed a law allowing its citizens to bring guns into church
This could actually work out for the best if the herd begins thinning itself out a bit. I was getting nervous about the potential GOP gains that might result from a referendum we passed last fall: it legally enfranchised idiots and the insane.
Irony is not dead. I love the Malkin photo!
She’s definitely the Tokyo Rose of the intertubes, but with more ping pong balls.
[re=246143]Serolf Divad[/re]: Glenn Beck does this all the time — Obama is a socialist, Nazis have “socialist” in their name, therefore Obama is turning America into a National Socialist state. That it makes no actual sense is apparently not an issue.
[re=246146]user-of-owls[/re]: the atheist thing in that story bothers me more. How exactly is the USA not a theocracy these days? More and more of our laws are based on religious beliefs rather than any legal principal. But hell, maybe all those good, God-fearin’ Arkansans will shoot each other to death in church and we won’t have the problem anymore.

Walnuts can stand to be tortured for FIVE AND A HALF YEARS, but he can’t handle the harpies on the view for 5 minutes? What a pussy.
“And now a reading from the gospels of Matthew, John, and Duck.”
The ICAO code for Little Rock airport is KLIT. Just FYI.
Lonely people should be allowed to attract each other with swastikas if that’s what it takes. Life is too short. Just ask the victims of the Nazis.

No, he’s not. For many males, watching five minutes on the View is the equivalent of Five and a Half Years at the Hanoi Hilton.
Burris managed to become an hero – politically speaking – in less than two months. Not bad.
Now he really does have something to put under the TRAIL BLAZER section of his tomb: shortest-serving African-American U.S. Senator EVAR.
[re=246161]Mr Blifil[/re]: That was perversely touching in every respect.
[re=246143]Serolf Divad[/re]: I never didn’t not never like none of those double-negative jokes.
Praise Jesus and pass the ammunition! Oh, never mind, there’s some in the collection plate.
[re=246139]Doglessliberal[/re]: Burris can do better than just US Senator on his mausoleum. He can have “The William Henry Harrison Of The Senate” on the monument to himself. Americans don’t know jack-shit about history, so it’ll be very impressive.
Only one honorable way out… Burris should become AN HERO!
[re=246171]Lascauxcaveman[/re]:
When I was in junior high, I remember this kid who once responded to a personal insult by scoffing: “That ain’t nothin’ that nobody don’t know.” Which is to say “Yes, but who cares?”
At any rate, his use of a rare quadruple negative has always impressed me.
Michele Malkin is so pathetically needy in her attempt to outdo Ann Coulter as the hot harpy among the wingers.
I’m okay on the handguns in church law in Oklahoma, though for some reason the Republicans haven’t done this yet. The people at my United Methodist church would be horrified by the thought. Meanwhile, the Baptists across the street will be guns-blazing.
The important thing is, you have to stay within your own church. A law like this won’t do anything to protect the Unitarians, who are armed only with love, which meant that in Tennessee their only ploy was to risk their own lives to disarm the shooter. Hey–didn’t Jesus say something about that? Nah, not in the winger bible, edited by Glenn Beck and friends.

[re=246207]scaredofthehoya[/re]: He already has, politically and legally. Except it wasn’t because someone stole his iPod. A winner is he!

I hope that Limbaugh, Malkin, Beck, et. al. become synonymous with the Repugtards. They’ll never understand that they’re exhorting a diminishing audience to commit hate crimes in the name of conservatism. Meanwhile, even Americans who barely pay attention to anything but reality teevee will be screaming, “Fuck bipartisanship. Save us from the crazy people.”
Burris does not inspire me, nor anyone of my generation, to come.
[re=246156]Canmon (the Inadequate)[/re]: It was so much fun seeing him eviscerated on The Daily Show over that nonsense.
[re=246158]Texan Bulldoggette[/re]: Elisabeth Hasselbeck might be worse than FIVE AND A HALF YEARS.
Isn’t the big question raised by the Malkin photo why is Bono there holding a Swastika?
[re=246153]SayItWithWookies[/re]: Has Glen Beck ever said anything that made any sense? Hell, he makes Sean Hannity look semi-coherent.
[re=246158]Texan Bulldoggette[/re]: FIVE AND A HALF YEARS, Texan Bulldoggette! FIVE AND A HALF YEARS!
Anyway, he got to have an affair with a much younger women after the whole Viet Nam thing, while all he gets from his five minutes on The View is the reminder that his penis hasn’t worked in ten years.
[re=246285]Lionel Hutz Esq.[/re]: No, not a damn thing. He’s the high fructose corn syrup of political commentary — and his callers must be screened to be brainless sycophants, too. He had a horrific meltdown Friday morning which I unfortunately only caught the tail end of — but in the weepiest voice I’ve ever heard him use, he proclaimed that he would be the happiest person in the world if his America-is-doomed prophecies were ridiculed for not coming to pass. That’s how much he cares, dammit!
President Beeblebrox: It’s now clear that Blago did it all for the lulz!
Let the Serbian-’Frican ‘Merican death-match ensue. The streets of Chicago will run with Fail. Also.
The hakenkreuz guy next to Malkin looks disturbingly like Francesco Totti. Fortunately I know that My Own Personal God is home in Rome with his lovely wife & children. So it is not Him.
Is it acceptable to say Malkin is an extremely unattractive woman in every way possible?
Proof that God has a sense of irony: on the same day that Arkansas makes it legal to take guns into churches, a guy shoots himself in teh Crystal Cathedral, that place with all the glass where they say “God loves you, and so do I!”
Pat Quinn has apparently come up with an assignment for Burris to coax him down from his Ivory Tower – way down…
