Here’s everybody’s favorite Democrat, Vinegar Joe Lieberman, talking in that repulsive slimeball Holy Joe voice about the “advice” he gave Barack Obama, even though Obama is black. [YouTube]

Just when you think nothing can top the antics of Paultards and Hilltardz, the Naderites of Elections Past are back to show you how it’s done. Despite being completely ignored by all media, Ralph Nader gets 6% of the vote in a new CNN poll. WTF? MORE »

THE AWFUL TRUTH: Your editor contributed some money to a political candidate once. Who got the $30? Oh, walnuts …. [Political Machine]

You know what was “great” about the wingnuts freaking out about the Dunkin’ Donuts ad freakout? Dunkin’ Donuts is actually a product these people use, daily, by eating bags of donuts. And then they start calling the AM talk radio shows, and next thing you know the angry white appliance repairman is wondering if he should really be eating at Dunkin’ Donuts five times a day … so maybe he takes his business to the local donut shop run by the nice Palestinian family. Much more common is the wingnut pretend-boycott of something they wouldn’t ever use, even if they knew about it. Such is the fury over HBO’s little-watched yet much-discussed Recount, a movie about the horrible 2000 election and Florida debacle. MORE »

*IT HURTS BUT I LIKE IT:* “Consumer advocate Ralph Nader said on Monday he will decide soon on whether to make a another bid for the White House in 2008, eight years after playing a key role as a third party presidential candidate.” It would be funny if he died. [Reuters/Yahoo]

Who will fight for Fraud and Abuse? Who will stop the 100 Billion Immigrants from having “more rights than you”? Who basically put George Bush Junior in the White House (with a little help from the Supreme Court)? Ex-Congresswoman and Super Christian horse rider Katherine “Kitty” Harris, that’s who! And now the Draft Kitty movement has a website! This thing is serious, people. If she’s not indicted and put in prison like the rest of Abramoff/Wilkes crowd, January of 2009 could be the greatest month in Human History: the month Kitty Harris becomes our president.

Yesterday’s Maureen Dowd column (oh, thank heavens for the end of TimesSelect!) was a wacky inside joke in which Dowd wrote ostensibly from the perspective of Justice Clarence Thomas, railing against Al Gore and disguising it as Anita Hill. Thomas refuses to apologize for denying Gore the presidency because he is a bore. It has been a while since we actually read MoDo regularly, so maybe our grasp of her grasp of irony is a bit rusty, but the whole thing is kinda funny considering how Dowd herself is nearly as responsible for Al’s political destruction as one vilified member of the court that sold him out!

Bill and Hillary are apparently responsible for the Bush presidency, according to Vanity Fair’s October issue. As we all could’ve probably guessed, Al Gore’s loss in the 2000 election was entirely the fault of the the Clintons, who used all their fundraising acumen and massive charm reserves to get Hillary elected to the Senate instead of helping Bill’s rightful successor, Al, get elected despite his best efforts to fuck the whole thing up.

David Souter’s BFF claims the Supreme Court Justice didn’t weep uncontrollably after the United States curled up and died in 2000, but Souter still loathes Washington D.C. and probably the Supreme Court, too. [Union Leader]
