- In this crazy mixed-up world, in which one Republican adulterer scandal quickly pushes another Republican adulterer scandal off the front page, only to be superceded by a celebrity death, which is superceded by another celebrity death that very same day, one thing remains constant: bombings in Baghdad. [New York Times]
- Mahmoud Ahmadinejad very predictably accused the US of meddling in Iran’s affairs, and President Obama’s people very predictably said, “Have you noticed how we are keeping out mouths shut about this?” [BBC News]
- A whole bunch of sanctimonious politicians were mean to Bill Clinton in the 90s, when they should have said, “Bill Clinton has done an awesome thing, cheating on his wife,” so that they would not be called hypocrites a decade later when they were caught cheating on their own wives. [ABC News]
- Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt have declared that blood diamonds from Zimbabwe are bad. [AP]
- Among the many ambitious reform items on President Obama’s plate, immigration reform is among the more likely to have to wait till next year. [New York Daily News]
- Two things you won’t find at the Apple App Store: the “kill the baby by shaking it” game, and pornography. So really, what’s the point of these dumb phones? [TechCrunch]
What? No home video of Jacko’s last minute alive? TMZ FAIL.
If the same sexual standards were applied in France as in the US, France would have no government whatsoever, only a handful of aging members of parliament, perhaps. Might not be so bad.
Why bother with immigration reform. There’s no work, foreclosure is the new garage sale and nobody has a chance with Farrah now that she’s dead. Who wants to stay in the USA much less immigrate here?
Shouldn’t that be sanctimonious Republicans, Ms. BBC? I tried not to pay attention, but I’m sure a few Dems were at least a bit pious. But they aren’t the ones now being caught with their trousers down and having nervous breakdowns on the teevee.
With the demise of Wacko, US America is now losing its greatest cultural asset, totally batshit crazy ass celebitards. Who is left to carry the flame? Brit-Brit? Jon & Kate? Heidi and Spencer? That’s a pretty thin crazy bench.
Well, maybe not Heidi and Spencer because they represent US America’s other gift to the world, the sort of famous but who really gives a fuck self-entitled douchesack who believes they “worked” to get what they didn’t deserve.
Blood diamonds are verboten but Billy Bob blood-in-a-vial is still alright, isn’t it?
I love the GOP commenters at ABC- Sanford admitted it, Clinton didn’t, Sanford is only a governor, Clinton was the president. I must have missed it- was there a time warp- did Clinton announce he cheated this week?
hobospacejunkie: Well, never forget that Joe Lieber-scold was picked as Al Gore’s running mate in 2000 largely because he tut-tutted the loudest over Clinton’s foibles. Of course, he himself has never been caught in a scandal, except for that time they caught him hate-fucking a blow-up doll made up to look like Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.
finallyhappy:
Lost amid the contard batshit justification. Clinton was still doing his job when Monica sucked him off in the Oval Office. Sanford went AWOL.
finallyhappy: A confused Hillary did just announce her desire for the job of Secretary of State of South Carolina.
Oh, like Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt know anything about blood diamonds. I await a definitive statement from Leonardo diCaprio, who actually was in a movie about blood diamonds.
hobospacejunkie: John Edwards also criticized Clinton and said he should resign. Also. He has some good hair. But both of them humped ugly women. So there’s a key constituency to consider. Too.
Sara, try to remember that supersede is the only word in the language that ends in ’sede’ … no need to thank me.
You know Richard Nixon and George W were very loyal to their wives. Of course that’s because they got off by screwing the country, hee-ooooh.
ManchuCandidate: Certainly not Heidi & Spencer. If I, unemployed w/3 TVs, had never heard of them until just now googling their sorry asses, they can’t have much of a future.
Carrie_Okie: norbizness: Shhhhh!!
Blood diamonds are bad, unlike those from that paragon of virtue and human rights, DeBeers.
hobospacejunkie: ManchuCandidate: Ahhh, yes “Speidi”, only in this great land of ours would these two have “careers”…
No, they should have said, “Marital infidelity is wrong, the end.” Douche-ing it up on the national stage to score points, as they did, is something else altogether.
WadISay: I think most guys will wait for Jennifer Connelly’s judgment on this, because she was also in Blood Diamond and also INCREDIBLY HOT!
This just in: (via an email)
“Michael Jackson hasn’t been this stiff since McAuley Caulkin came to stay for the weekend…”
Too soon?
Video of Sanford’s squeeze toy.

she has a nice microphone grip.
ManchuCandidate: I guess someone *does* need to sell us some crazy, then. We’re fresh out.
Remind me never to accuse people of the sin of boffing lest I am able to boff no more, forever.
finallyhappy:
I got a few comments in before I started foaming at the mouth. Now I’ve got to find 7 Republicans to sacrifice upon my altar, and I’ve got to leave for work in 20 minutes! Decisions!
freakishlystrong: It wasn’t too soon when he was alive.
freakishlystrong: Too late.
Will Wonkette be live-blogging the Jacko autopsy? Also, shouldn’t the king of poop be vitrified in liquid nitrogen so that future generations can worship him once we have the technology to rebuild him?
S.Agnew: Well, now I am going to just have to leave it misspelled to annoy you. But look, an article on this very topic! http://www.upi.com/Odd_News/2008/08/25/Supersede-most-often-misspelled/UPI-48171219702611/
Monsieur Grumpe: eh, not bad, but I think if I was governor of A WHOLE STATE I could do better.
I mean, look at Sarkozy, he’s not a particularly good looking man, and Silvio Berlusconi, the Danny DeVito of politics…they’ve got hot babes, and Silvio apparently has a whole mess of ‘em.
What is wrong with American politicians?
Monsieur Grumpe:
The only Heidi I know besides the book I loved as a child(in the 50’s) is Heidi Klum and the only Spencers are Spencer Tracey and the family of the late Princess Diana.
Manos: Hands of Fate: Would probably cross W off that list because of Condeleeza Rice
finallyhappy: You just have to remind us all of the pain we felt when Princess Diana died, and on the day of our most intense, heartfelt and sincere mourning for the loss of our dearly departed Wacko Jacko Bizarro Freakshow. Are you some kind of demon who feeds on the sorrow of others?
No Porn!!!!1!
What further proof do we need, Capitalism is dead.
LONG LIFE CHAIRMAN NOBAMA!!!
Monsieur Grumpe: We all knew that Sanford was crackers, but a politician in bed with the press?
BTW: Why she is speaking Mexican?
I want that shaken baby app now. Darn it, when will tech geeks start catering to my misanthropic tendencies?
There’s now big demand in South Carolina for the APP called, “Find the Luv Guv”.

Device to Trace [Sanford's] State Vehicle Was Disabled, Official Says
In defense of the shake the baby app; if you shake a real baby, unlike a doll, it dies. The app was actually important educationally in that publicized a real problem. I would let the ‘free market’ function and assume both the developers and buyers had good intentions.
Monsieur Grumpe: She’s pretty cute; just my type. I could spend the whole winter just curled up in one of her eyebrows. Cozy.
S.Luggo: I just assumed she was reporting in Muslin.
Sara K. Smith: Oh, right. Just because everyone else does it, that means it’s OK for you to do it too?
Paul Tardy: Then what lesson does Elf Bowling teach us?
Face it, all diamonds are blood diamonds (sorry Liz). They’re not special, when just about every slobbering finance buys one for his lovely bride-to-be. They are forever, but they don’t help marriages last forever.
SuperStarr: I’m wondering whether your misspelling of fiancé was intentional or Freudian.
Mr Blifil: Be patient. I’m sure someone will come up with something…
That’s “superseded”, not “superceded.” Supporting Latin shit: “super” = “over”; “sedes” = “sits”
Dangnabbit. Dintchall go to kollidge?
S.Agnew: Thank you for that. We should mate and produce a Master Race of Grammar/Spelling Douches. The world would quickly become paradise.
Oh, Sara … it’s a slippery slope from “I’ll leave the misspelling, just to annoy you” to:

If I want to see misspellings, I’ll hang out at Free Republic or Red State. Saw a great one at Alternet not long ago. One of those Real American trolls was comparing all networks except Fox to “Hitler-style propaganda like Joseph Gerbils.”
iolanthe: Joseph Gerbils
Surely that was intentional. Tell me it was intentional.
SuperStarr: My wife & I bought cheap wedding bands the night before flying to Las Vegas to get married in the back of a limo at the Little White Chapel. I think hers may have a tiny diamond on it, while mine has none.
Seeing chicks with big diamond rings on their fingers makes me wonder if the ring isn’t terrible uncomfortable and just what exactly are they saying by wearing the ring? “Look, I spent too much money on a pointless thingamabob.” If you need a bigass ring to remind you that you’re married you may want to book some sessions with a counselor.
Extra Bigass Diamond Rings are kind of like very expensive cars which seem to say “Look, I spent too much money on a transportation device. I am stupid. Also, my penis is far below average size. Not that I’d know what average size is, I just heard it from someone or read it in a medical journal.”
