[Why would we take this down? It was funny too!]

You all should be ashamed of yourselves. We showed you the nice website called Country Above Self that appropriately lists “Phony Soldiers” as death traitors to America, and you go and inflate the score of Danny Glover, the b-list actor. Obviously everyone was supposed to nominate Truck Nutz. [Country Above Self]

The great George W. Bush delivered the commencement address at Colorado’s Air Force Academy today, the same day that his former hobbit slave was publicizing mean books about him. Here he is this morning “chest-bumping” a graduate, who has probably already died in Iraq. [AP Photo]

Wonkette comical typos operative “Ron” sends us this screen shot of a CNN.com article in which Karl Rove lets slip a revelation of his own about terrible snitch Scott McClellan. McClellan’s syntax in his new book reeks of liberal blogging filth? No, that’s not what Rove is revealing at all! Rove is trying to tell us that homosexual lumberjack communities in the Pacific Northwest are McClellan’s inspiration! IS THIS NOT CLEAR TO EVERYONE? [CNN]

Hillary Clinton continued the Enfranchisement Tour 2k8 today in South Dakota, which is fully franchised and will likely go for Obama on June 3 but doesn’t matter. While there she visited the only “thing” in South Dakota: Mount Rushmore, where the rocks look like famous presidents. Look at Hilz in the picture, striking the pose as a park ranger fines her for littering. Maybe? Who knows what actually happened during the stop, because the ABC News report is all about… well, the headline pretty much says it all: “Clinton Ignores Press at Mt. Rushmore.” This article is delicious.

ABC News’ Eloise Harper notes that she and the other traveling press had numerous questions for Hillary, who hasn’t held a press avail since May 15 — right around when the Clinton Bullshit Meter went cosmic, making Hillary incapable of responding coherently to any question about her latest “disenfranchisement” motif. But Ms. Harper clearly does not realize that Hillary has been on vacation since May 15!

Enjoying a lighter load on the campaign trail with two stops in South Dakota Wednesday and two stops Thursday Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton played tourist at Mt. Rushmore, ignoring questions and telling the press to “learn something about the monument”.

Hillary’s lighthearted condescension gives way to visible irritation:

While the New York senator enjoyed the site, she was surrounded buy a U-shape of cameras hoping to get a shot of her looking at the monument while a traveling staffer insisted on standing in front of the her to block the shot. When the staffer refused to move after many calls from the press and other staffers, Clinton turned around and said “this is a tourist occasion.”

The press notices she’s irritated and proceeds to fuck with her:

A reporter attempted to ask Clinton if she could see herself on the famous monument. Clinton just raised her hands in the air and said “I” and sighed. Another reporter asked “Do you think Bill Clinton should be up there?” Clinton didn’t answer and said “why don’t you learn something about the monument.”

Then Eloise Harper asks Clinton “Hey Hillary, don’t you think Kermit the Frog should be up there? Don’t… [stifles a giggle]… don’t you think… [cannot control laughter]… don’t you think Lanny Davis should be up there?”

Hillary makes a few phone calls and responds, “Maybe you should check on your cat, Eloise.”

This is a screen shot from a famous computer game called The Oregon Trail. This game is literally the only famous thing about Oregon, except for a few mediocre indie pop bands. Despite its overall irrelevancy, however, Oregon will host one of tonight’s two primaries. The other state is Kentucky, where horses come to die and leave corny extended metaphors in their wake. Your Wonkette will obviously be liveblogging the proceedings tonight, starting around 6:30 or 6:45 Eastern (polls close in Kentucky at 7:00 Eastern, shortly before the state’s “Chicken Supper Time.”) Loser Oregon does not close until 11:00 Eastern, but Obama is giving a speech around 8:30, so we will Never Rest.

Don’t you just love when people openly admit that they are voting for Hillary because it’ll get Bill back in the White House? Like this Kentucky man with his pin? It’s almost as amazing as how some people still like Bill Clinton. [Getty Photo]

Yesterday, Barack Obama visited Montana’s Crow Nation of Native Americans, or as the Republicans call them, “Mexicans.” He spoke to about 4,000 folks, and this happened: “When he took the stage, Obama announced he was proud to have been adopted — in Crow tradition — by the Black Eagle family. And he was also given a Crow name, which translates as ‘That Person Who Goes Throughout Our Land And Tries To Help People…’” Sounds like the name-inventor is some kinda liberal. It was all Hopeful and shit for a while… until they cursed Obama, with their spells. MORE »

Hey ladies and gay men, here is your “Tuesday Hot Picture” of Barack Obama! Now you can gab all morning in the comments about how much you want to fuck the Democratic nominee for president (Al Gore). [AP Photo]

Endless Simmer blogger “gansie” sent us this startling image of beloved D.C. pundit Andrew Sullivan blogging at a Subway sandwich shop. Really! (Unless this is the strangest use of Photoshop in History.) The shocking report: “Tuesday 4/29 — 6:30 p.m.: Andrew Sullivan in full blogging mode — at Subway!” It’s the one at 16th and V, if you’re wondering. (When did Subway start doing the fancy Starbucks chairs and low tables?) This should’ve gone in Wonk’d but was simply too wonderful to get lost in a crowd of lesser sightings. Bloggers: They’re just like us! [Endless Simmer]

Here’s your favorite Gallup daily tracking poll, which now shows Obama’s largest lead ever of 16 percentage points. Jesus, did a huge wave of black voters (his only constituency) register to vote in the last day or something? [Gallup]

Here is presidential candidate and glorified hobo Ralph Nader speaking at the first “Cluster Bomb Olympics” in D.C. yesterday, courtesy of Wonkette hobo-security operative “Nicholas.” The event celebrates the humanity of cluster bombs, which are like clusterfucks, in bomb form. While Obama drew 75,000 people to his little vaudeville act in Portland yesterday, Nader probably got like 20. And that may be just enough to tip this election, again. [Ekklesia]
