• Sarah Palin has been making fun of bloggers for living “in their parents’ basement.” Twice she has said this thing without anyone reminding her that Alaska is America’s basement, with a dusty old tanning bed and a Treadmill or whatever, and Wasilla is like the crawlspace in that basement, filled with asbestos, middle school report cards and and some meth, from the 90s.

• Find out who’s a Mormon and who’s a Gay with this Hollywood starmap of Proposition 8 results. [Top of the Ticket]
• Obama campaign manager David Plouffe—you might recognize the name from your deleted mail folder—doesn’t want to be DNC Chairman, a dumb job that even maple-flavored hysteric Howard Dean won’t keep doing. [Marc Ambinder]
• Georgian peach Rep. Paul Broun keeps Hoping Obama isn’t another Hitler, but when Obama keeps acting exactly like Hitler, it’s becoming very difficult. [Crooks and Liars]
• Rumors are swirling that Bill Clinton is in the tank for Joe Lieberman and has been offering phone sex to Dems (in the form of a dramatic reading of the Starr Report) in return for votes that would allow Lieberman to keep his chairmanships. [HuffPost]

Yesterday Joe Lieberman addressed Christians United For Israel, the dumb thing headed by Pastor John Hagee, Lieberman’s best friend. Hagee used to be John McCain’s best friend, and they spent many a evening talking about how Hitler was a messenger of God, the message being “European Jews, what an oxymoron!” Joe Lieberman introduced himself to the creepy group with this appropriately creepy message: “I am your brother Joseph.” Then: “I don’t agree with everything Pastor Hagee has said… I will tell you tonight the bond that I feel with Pastor Hagee and each and every one of you is much stronger than that and I am proud to stand with you tonight.” Ha ha, Connecticut voters.

Barry Obama’s still living large on his European/Central Asian/Middle East luxury basketball vacation, which will finish up with a big speech rally thing in Berlin, the German city where David Bowie recorded Heroes. But just like when JFK and Ronald Reagan went to East Berlin and demanded that Hitler “Tear Down That Wall,” it seems Obama is bringing his own “Ugly American” act to Deutschland. MORE »

Yesterday, Barack Obama almost died in a fiery plane crash above lovely St. Louis, and you know what, it’s his own fault. Thought experiment: imagine you are a Jew. If, as a Jew, you are borrowing a car, you wouldn’t borrow it from Adolf Hitler, right? It would probably have a bomb set to the ignition (Hitler famously disliked the Jews). With that in mind: “This was not Obama’s regular campaign plane, which is being overhauled. It was a loaner, having previously been used by Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-NY.” When will dumb old Barack Obama realize that Hillary Clinton is actively trying to kill him? [ABC News]

Here is one for you, only a day old and still pretty much used up like Krusty’s porn: I am aware of all Internet Traditions. What the hell? We will tell you, and you’ll feel dumber for it. MORE »

Here’s a doll of “Onkle Barack,” as crafted by a renowned artisan from Nazi Germany. It only costs 139 Euros, which is like 200 or 300 Ameros, so you all can buy it and sleep with it because you like him so damn much, rotten kids… [Some German Online Store, Spiegel]

We have seen some “chatter” about the second-straight brilliant episode of Hardball today, and hot damn, this is some seven-diamond comedy here. Matthews is interviewing Republican radio host “Kevin James,” who screams in some white-trash voice about Obama being an appeaser for a couple minutes, before — around 4:00 into the clip — Matthews annihilates him, calls him “pathetic,” says “you don’t know anything,” and does this for several minutes. Nice work. Do it again tomorrow! [MSNBC]

The famously stupid Tennessee GOP is launching this lovely 4-minute “ad” to welcome Michelle Obama to Nashville, uh, metaphorically? It shows her saying that one time that she’s only been proud of America once in her adult lifetime, and then it asks Average Tennesseans to name times they’ve been proud of America. The first Average subject is “Tate,” a preppy, rich grad student at Vanderbilt — can’t be more than 25, 30 years old at most — noting how proud he was when we defeated Hitler, which maybe happened during his previous adult lifetime?

So the AP is doing this big feature on our Five Glorious Years of War In Iraq, and the story will be called, obviously, “Five Years In Iraq: The Blogger War.” And it is illustrated with, of course, a file photo of this Broadway theater during the thrilling run of the musical celebration Hitler’s Children, featuring the legendary blogger Xavier Cugat and, necessarily, the comedic stylings of Henny Youngman. The question is, Who do we need to go back in time and kill in order to prevent all of this from happening? MORE »
