MICKEY KANTOR TOTALLY CALLED INDIANA PEOPLE "SHIT": So maybe the "white niggers" part of that Mickey Kantor video was altered, but were Indiana's people the referent of his "shit" usage? Check out this review of The War Room from 1993: "Whether Carville and company are play-acting somewhat for the cameras becomes less important as the film progresses. One can only keep up an act for so long — especially in the throes of a campaign. Carville's tearful farewell speech to his staff as they close up just before the election, Stephanopoulos's frank talk with a potential blackmailer and a Mickey Kantor comment about the people of Indiana (when it looks as though Clinton's ahead in Dan Quayle's state) attest to this." Mickey Kantor called Indiana people "shit," so Hillary Clinton probably agreed or something. [Washington Post]

Mickey Kantor Says He Didn't Use N-Word

That instantly infamous video clip — it's from The War Room, which is a funny documentary about the '92 campaign — does NOT feature Clinton bigwig Mickey Canton calling the nice people of Indiana "white niggers," Kantor tells the Huffington Post. Kantor says he would never use that word, the N-bomb, and that this is a "conspiracy" and "libel" and he is going to make YouTube stop this right away. Kantor does not dispute the other part, where he says, "Look at Indiana — wait, wait, look at Indiana. 42-40. It doesn't matter if we win, those people are shit." [Huffington Post]

A Children's Treasury Of Recent Suspicious Suicides

As America mourns the suspicious death of "D.C. Madam" Deborah Jeane Palfrey and gives up hope that anyone or anything can bring down Dick Cheney (or even David Vitter), let's look back in anger at other recent suspicious suicides involving Our Federal Government. Did you know one of Palfrey's escort-service contractor ladies also supposedly hanged herself? And what about all these FBI targets and mysterious CIA agents meeting weird, tragic ends? WTF, people, WTF? More »

Mulder & Scully Crack 9/11-Condi Conspiracy

A long time ago in the 1990s there was this teevee program called The X-Files — a creepy mix of Nixon-era political conspiracy, the occult, fake terror attacks, FEMA killing everybody, and Space Demons. It seemed completely fantastic until 2001, when Dick Cheney and George W. Bush began their reign of horror. And finally, after years of silence, the creators of the X-Files are talking about how this administration stole all their ideas, even 9/11! More »

'Federal Officials' Demand Weapons Check End At Dallas Obama Rally

Here’s a collection of words and names that will automatically creep you out: Dallas, Secret Service, big crowds, guns, Barack Obama. At a Wednesday rally in Dallas, unnamed “federal officials” stopped the weapons screening for thousands of random people who turned out for Barack Obama’s rally at Reunion Arena. Why? Well, there was kind of a long line, and the 17,000 strangers seemed like a “friendly crowd.” More »

Jack Ruby and Lee Harvey Oswald's 'Kill JFK' Plans Revealed!

Happy Dead Presidents Day, everybody! Our most beloved non-Reagan dead president, John F. “Jack” Kennedy, was killed by Lyndon Johnson’s Anti-Castro Cuban CIA Mafia Military-Industrial FBI Complex way back in 1963. We still don’t know exactly what happened, because “the government” won’t release the files for another forty or fifty years (or never), but the Dallas Morning News says a weird old transcript proves or doesn’t prove how “lone gunman” Lee Harvey Oswald and mafia-nightclub tough Jack Ruby discussed killing JFK so, uh, the Chicago mob wouldn’t be bothered by Kennedy’s little brother, Bobby Kennedy, who was attorney general back when the attorney general was expected to do anti-crime things rather than just torture innocent foreigners forever, in Cuba.

Sledgehammer Of Reality Can't Crush Ron Paul's Presidency

Has Ron Paul’s Internet Brigade been interesting and hilarious? Of course! Has all his silly talk about “freedom” and the “U.S. Constitution” maybe made a few kids interested in those arcane and unprofitable fantasies? Sure! But will the loyalist Paulians ever, uh, acknowledge their guy’s a fringe candidate running an anti-war campaign within America’s Defense Industry Party and he’s not ever going to be president of anything, not even the Internet? Sort of, but not really. Let’s investigate. More »

Who the Hell Called Rudy At the NRA?


Above, the now famous video of Rudy Giuliani taking a call from “his wife” in the middle of a capitulating speech to the NRA, who, understandably, hate him for supporting stricter gun control measures while mayor than just about any other politician in the country besides those who are or have been mayors of large cities. But maybe his wife wasn’t actually the one who was calling him! If you watch the video, and you’re a fan of either guns or the Constitution (or both!), you might notice that America’s Mayor is, in fact, in the middle of fundamentally misquoting our beloved Second Amendment when his wife calls. Our patriotic colleagues at FreeRepublic certainly noticed. More »

Rudy's New America: Gay-Friendly North Mexico


He’s back! Rudy Giuliani’s beloved YouTube campaign artist has returned with another delightful “drive around L.A. and say crazy bullshit about Republican candidates and the general political scene.” In this episode, he covers the pressing concerns of Mexicans having all the jobs, Gays having all the Republican politicians, Larry Craig’s refusal to become aroused by a hand down his pants, Mitt Romney’s sons trying to set up Larry in the airport bathroom, and other such things sure to delight Giuliani’s mouth-breathing supporters. And this time, the dude’s wearing a Tucker Carlson bowtie — wheels within wheels!

JFK's Killers Still Loose But Mostly Dead

Shockingly obvious new evidence proves that the bullets that killed President Kennedy could’ve basically come from anywhere and at anytime, even the future. The strongest case for mysterious weirdo Lee Harvey Oswald being one of the Lone Gunmen was that the two shots that killed JFK were extremely unique for some reason and could only have been fired from Oswald’s rifle. But researchers found plenty of other “exact matches” for the bullet fragments, including from new boxes of ammo. More »

Bin Laden & Saddam Really Were Connected ... At Bush's Bank

Happy MLK Assassination Day!

As Bono taught us, wrongly, Martin Luther King was assassinated in the “early morning, April 4” of 1968 — 39 years ago today. (It was actually 6:01 p.m. There was no Wikipedia back then, so at least he got the date right.) Today is the real Martin Luther King Day. More »

About That Karl Rove Picture, With the Sleestaks ...

Who could’ve predicted this administration would owe more to “Twin Peaks” than Ronald Reagan? This picture — which is causing such an outrage because it seemingly proves Karl Rove’s involvement with Chattanooga computer-design firm Coptix, which is supposedly hiding criminal White House e-mails — just isn’t right.

This Picture of Karl Rove IS A CRIME SCENE!

So this blogger David Gidcumb in Chattanooga is having lunch at “Porkers” last month and guess who comes in for a meal? George W. Bush! Well, the Secret Service came in first and scoped out the joint, and then Bush showed up and was friendly to everybody and even took pictures with people who just happened to be having lunch at the time. Karl Rove was there, too. More »
