Between the tantrum-throwing and secret Ben Affleck movie viewings, it appears that this debt debate has officially caused everyone in Washington to go completely insane! Or at least more insane than usual. Exhibit A: Republican Sen. Pat Roberts of Kansas is having very detailed panic dreams about a made-up basketball game between himself and President [...]

Yielding to dozens of Surveymonkey petitions, Barack Obama has decided that allowing Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and his merry 9/11 pranksters to be tried in a “normal” court — you know, where torture-induced confessions are not considered “evidence” — would be inappropriate, and that a sensationalized military kangaroo tribunal with a swift verdict would be much [...]

America’s least favorite current president, Barack Obama, was nearly murdered in a basketball game today. He got 12 stitches! Apparently his face got in a fight with somebody’s elbow — maybe belonging to that Reggie Love character? — and next thing you know Joe Biden was about this close to nuking Alaska.

The Democratic Governors Association made this video to get the libtard bloggers excited at the Netroots Nation conference that starts today in Las Vegas. That was cool of them! Look, there is something of each of them in this video. David Paterson of New York sat at a computer and did ALL the video editing [...]

The entire Western Hemisphere is unemployed but surprise surprise, the U.S. Senate is too busy playing grab-ass with hott celebs to even feign interest. [The Caucus] Matt published super-private emails sent to him by Jonathan Strong, of Daily Caller JournoList muckraking fame. And now everyone knows Jonathan Strong’s secret phone number, so dial those digits [...]

Last week, Joe Biden was at a fundraiser for Senate candidate Lee Fisher when he opened his big mouth. “LeBron James is coming back,” Biden said. Last night, LeBron James announced that some “privileged” kids were getting scholarships to the University of Phoenix so that they will get a bad education and also that he [...]

If the Burger King was president, Barack Obama wouldn’t be president: This is the #1 reason why the Burger King should be America’s Commander in Chief. (But if you’re not convinced, there’s eleven more reasons!) [The Corner] Wikileaks uploaded terrifying footage from an Apache Helicopter-Zeppelin’s War Crimes Cam, which is about as commendable as a [...]

Sell a Barack Obama basketball, and tea-baggers complain that “The One” is again being deified, this time to the “urban youth” who, you know, play basketball. Sell a Sarah Palin soccer ball, however, and you’ll immediately be attacked for, uh, sexism. And for making fun of Trig. Thanks to “K. Basart,” who spotted this “political [...]

Hey nerds how much do you love NBA Finals season, hmmm? Feast your eyes on this cute thing, which involves two political ladies trash-talking over their basketball teams. Maxine Waters won’t even shake her friend’s hand, that is how serious she is about this dispute. [The YouTube]

While the rest of you dumb slobs are dying of Mexican Carnitas Influenza, losing your jobs and being forced at gunpoint by census takers to buy a fucking Chrysler, Barack Obama plays sexy basketball with a bunch of hot-as-hell tall girls in fancy dresses. [White House]

We had not read a column by David Broder, “The Duchess” of the Washington press corps, since at least 1943 (“Buy War Bonds, You Chuckleheads” was the topic at the time), but a tipster told us that it was funny today and yeah, it’s very funny today. It is just benign mumbling about basketball and [...]

If you just crawled out of a moldy blogger-stained basement like your intern, you will soon discover that there is a basketcrickery or bracketball or somesuch deathsport feud commencing today. No one is going to shut up about it for about a month, so you may as well give in and head to one of [...]

This is just over the top. He even puts a Presidential Seal on it — wait till the election’s over, please? Anyway, to see the whole Presidential Bracket, check out this Washington Post article and READ THE COMMENTS. They are very concerned about the President promoting gambling with this popular American ritual:

Lanny Davis was famous in 2008 for going on the teevee to defend his friends and clients, The Clintons, from the biases of the O-BOTS, and making a fool of himself. Once fired, he would go on Huffington Post or The Hill or Politico and write a column about how Obama was shameful and deserved [...]

In North Carolina there is a famous old liberal named Dean Smith, who coached the Tar Heels for a million years before retiring to become a bleeding heart. He has officially endorsed Barack Obama for president which, according to Wonkette reader Kelsey, means “It’s over in NC.” Coach Smith’s exciting email after the jump.
