God, this guy … with the bowing, again. What little fascist-communist dictator is Obama kowtowing to this time? We don’t know, some child despot, maybe the Sultan of Cuba or the African Queen. No wonder Fox News has to name all the pictures of Barack “monster.jpg.” And that stench? Oh, that’s just the smell of the constitution burning. [Flickr]

Watch Sarah Palin go on and on about Iraq in response to the question of what the US should do about Ahmadinejad and a nuclear Iran. She says “Iraq” twice, which, according to reality, is different from Iran, the country the Iranian President is the president of. Andrew Sullivan this fact’s already been checked!

Much like your Wonkette, Fox News also enjoys assigning comical file names to photographs. Although “Obama_WarCouncil_doomsday”? Ehh. A bit overwrought, as all those words mean the same thing. Thanks to URL Spy “Ryan L.” [monster; WarCouncil_doomsday; japan_monster]

“Faceless pundits talks around the issues, not about them…celebrity gossip passes as breaking news…and the liberal bias spewed by the mainstream media makes them like less like a public service and more like an extension of the White House Press Office.” Dates in Westbury, NY and Tampa are already sold out! People do not hesitates or you will has no choice but to listen to your faceless pundits talks around the issues. [Bold & Fresh Tour 2010]

Celebrated chief birther and dentist-lawyer Orly Taitz held a protest outside the Fox News building in New York City today, for publicity. Supposedly Bill O’Reilly called the birthers crazy, and this was very offensive to Orly Taitz. Approximately four people showed up for the protest! Here’s Orly talking to a nice fellow from Africa. CAPTION CONTEST. [Gawker]

Watch combative, raisin-shaped philosopher-king Rupert Murdoch beg for attention: “[the following was said in an Australian accent, which, according to the Chicago Manual of Style, should be indicated using the 'underline' option]: mumble mumble aye oy yes Glenn Beck was riiiight to call Obama a raycist b’cause sum of the comments Obama mayde were raycist mumble blacks and whites and reds and yellows even though he sayd he wasn’t a raycist.” Yeah it does sound a bit Irish—Wordpress! Anyway the White House will continue to ignore this because there is negative zero reason to do otherwise. [Media Matters]

Tee hee, god knows what the Fox News programming must be like tonight, the night after a funeral for murdered soldiers, but apparently Bill O’Reilly has to go so far as to play “devil’s advocate” to suggest that “we can’t kill all the Muslims” — as in, that’s more or less what his guest’s argument would be. His guest is probably more accurate in a sense, however, since official U.S. anti-terrorism policy is still basically “run around the Middle East for 10-20 years and try to kill all the Muslims.” [YouTube]

• ANOTHER COMMUNICATIONS DIRECTOR LEAVES WHITE HOUSE: Hooray, the White House will now have its third communications director within a year! Anita Dunn, who famously launched an actual thermonuclear war against the television channel Fox News a few weeks (months?) ago, is returning to her consulting firm to make buttloads of money. FOX NEWS WINS THE INTERNET! Current deputy Dan Pfeiffer will take over forever. [WP/The Fix]

Fox News’ in-house eugenicist Brian Kilmeade had a provocative suggestion this morning, on his network’s A.M. comedy show: “KILMEADE: Do you think it’s time for the military to have special debriefings of Muslim Army officers — anybody enlisted?…Because if I’m going to be deployed in a foxhole, if I’m going to be sticking in an outpost, I got to know the guy next to me is not going to want to kill me.” Got to know it, man, Brian’s just got to know it.

WASHINGTON POLITICS AND WASHINGTON JOURNALISM REACH A CRUCIAL DETENTE: “A very reliable source tells FishbowlDC that Fox News SVP Michael Clemente met with White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs this morning and reached what some are calling a ‘truce.’” Nobel Peace Prizes, all. [Fishbowl DC]

Today’s big story from local acid rain compound Politico: the U.S. Chamber of Commerce declares itself immune to attacks from the liberal Apple Company and its “White House.” And just when we were expecting CoC President Tom Donohue to declare “We are not worthy” and close his shop down permanently!
