Joe Lieberman’s above-ground slime cave was not the only office that was invaded and briefly colonized yesterday: 12 anti-abortion people were arrested outside some suite that belonged to Nancy Pelosi and were charged with all kinds of distinctions within the disorderly conduct family. The AP does not want to assume these people were associated with the tea bag people—”the speaker’s staff said those arrested were objecting to language in the health care overhaul that they said would allow federally subsidized abortions”—but it’s definitely safe to just go ahead and assume that they absolutely were.

Yesterday the National Republican Congressional Committee thought that the most productive thing to do that afternoon would be to compare Nancy Pelosi to Hitler, on Twitter. A savvy web intern found some video of Adolf Hitler planning to kill Jews, only he’s speaking in German (!), so what would be great would be if we could just throw up some subtitles that suggest that the kind of genocide Hitler thinks is even cooler is the kind when Barack Obama just FOR NO REASON decides to shut down America’s hospitals. Which by the way are in Berlin, according to the Democrat/Nazi’s map. In any event, like nearly everything else that happens on Twitter, it was later forcibly removed. [CNN Political Ticker]
