- David Vitter, who has racked up nearly a billion frequent whore miles, is On The Defensive, as Democrats are criticizing him for his earlier botched attempt to smuggle a bomb in his sneaker on an airplane. [CNN Political Ticker]
- Despite rumors and, arguably, logic to the contrary, embattled RNC Chairman Michael Steele and his little dog too are not going to be ousted! [Ben Smith]
- Seattle Police Chief R. Gil “Copyandpaste” Kerlikowske has been anointed Obama’s new drug czar. And guess what, all those marijuana legalization activists are just terribly upset that their Barry picked a cop for the part of drug czar instead of, uh, a notable marijuana user? [The Caucus]
- Oh good: Hillary Clinton staffers want to assure you that your gal Friday will run again in 2016. [Daily Intel]
- Barack O’Bama is Irish! But according to some “out” Irishpersons, he is hiding his true heritage lest people become confused about his ancestry. Hm. [Gawker]











Obviously, the president is Black Irish.
Hey! Maybe the reason why the birthers haven’t been able to definitively prove Obama is not American is that they haven’t thought to search the Dublin birth registry records. I’ll bet the guy’s a leprechaun.
Two items pretty much putting the rest to the buzz that Michael Steele could be couped
Thank you Ben Smith for providing our grammatical fingers-on-a-chalkboard moment for the day.
Ooooh, drug czars are bad. They don’t like drugs.
All this time I thought a drug czar was my dealers boss’s boss’s boss.
“his earlier botched attempt to smuggle a bomb in his sneaker”; and by “sneaker” they mean “diaper”…
so not only is the president a Muslin terrorist, he’s an Irish one as well. Is he Catholic as well as Muslin and Atheist?
O’Bama is not yet Irish, but will be Irish on March 17. As we all will.
That’s my little country for ya. We discover he’s got Irish roots - and instantly decide he’s offending us. Anyone want a fight? Hey you - what are you looking at? F**k off and read someone else’s comments.
Irish?! I’ll see your Kearney and raise you a McSeveny!
Min: If O’bama is “black Irish”, then he’s a McDougal.
El Pinche: And I was so holding out for Matthew McConaughey.

Awesome! I wish I was black AND Irish!
SayItWithWookies: He’d certainly would go well with the rest of the male fuckables in the Obama crew. that would drive the wingers nuts.
If flavor flav had an Irish heritage would these people acknowledge it? I like how everyone is jumping on the bandwagon. Didn’t Barry say something about his English heritage when he met with Gordon Brown?
Dreamer: Gordon Brown is Scottish, so I’m not sure how Obama’s English heritage would impress him.
Dreamer: Bandwagon? Oh no, we were in there early. This story surfaced in the Irish media in March 2007, long before it was internationally fashionable to support muslim communism.
Steele: The people behind this anonymous rumor are clearly intent on dividing the Republican National Committee and our Party
Those would be the..Party Poopers? What does this have to do with Diaper Vitter?
SayItWithWookies: Yeah, but this dude is from Seattle. That’s just across the border from Canada, aka where the BC bud comes from! I bet this guy will be cool (fingers crossed).
Also: all the Seattle stoners are /totally stoked/ about this guy being drug czar.
Thats too bad about the Drug Czar. I had my money on Woody Harrelson.
This picture is leading to terrible, unacceptable threesome fantasies in my head:

Are they going to claim all of the other black people who have lots more Irish blood then our Barry? I bet Michelle has more then him. Oh wait, that would bring up the whole slavery/rape stuff so nevermind.
ain’t all those colored kids that play sports and such at Notre Dame black/drunken Irish whatnots?
El Pinche:
Snoop Dog would have made a firshizzle drugizzle.
Kerlekowski? The guy that stood around with cops and watched a mob beat a guy to death in Pioneer Square in 2001 during Seattle’s much beloved and traditional Mardi Gras? While this guy cannot, under the laws of physics, be any less clueless than Barry McCaffrey (”what’s next, heroin for writer’s block?” No, you asshat–Heroin really doesn’t help at all), he’s still not the finest Seattle has to offer. Of course, with his departure, maybe the average IQ will increase in both places.
DangerousLiberal: He’d probably have been fired after Mardi Gras but for the earthquake — there’s a useful superpower.
