Over on the spastic Corner blog at National Review Online, famous conservative Ed Whelan has brought up a very interesting point about the great hypocrite, Barack Obama: that if Roe v. Wade had come to pass but a few Earth-years earlier, the terrible fetus Barack Obama would have almost surely been aborted faster than your average prep school broken-condom demon zygote. Because his mother was a dumb feminist liberal, of course, and all she wanted to do was kill her Barry before too many of his cells duplicated into viable human features. Think about it. It means… nothing. This argument is balls. MORE »

Here’s the promised new chapter of The World’s Most Painful Interview, in which CBS journalistic monster Katie Couric continues to look almost sad about how fucking dumb this Sarah Palin proves to be, again and again, whenever she is asked to speak. MORE »

A couple of days ago, Jonathan Martin mentioned a particularly disturbing SECRET video that CBS News was sitting on from the ongoing Couric-Palin Sessions. Palin, supposedly, was asked some question about the Supreme Court and couldn’t discuss any other case beyond Roe Vee Wade: “There was no verbal fumbling with this particular question as there was with some others, the aide said, but rather silence.” Of course Jonathan Martin and his media vulture friends are all rumormongering liar Muslims who like smearing Palin because of racism and blood fetish. Then again, CBS has released some of the questions Couric asks in tonight’s installment, and one of them is: “Why do you think Roe v. Wade is a good or bad decision? What other Supreme Court decisions do you disagree with?” Ruh roh. Although maybe Palin was only silent because CBS then started airing the Michelle Obama Whitey Tape?? [TPM Election Central]

Here’s a video some random person took of Ron Paul at yesterday’s big Roe vee Wade Anti-Abortion Party. He rambles about murder and the Constitution and life and babies, and it’s unsettling. To the ladies out there, a query: Can you imagine Ron Paul being your OB/GYN? Like, if you had a choice between (a) immediate death and (b) opening your eyes just after delivering your first child, excitement beyond measure, and seeing a hunched, grizzled Dr. Ron Paul grinning over your baby asking “Who is John Galt?” — would you choose (b)? Just throwing it out there. [Raw Story, YouTube]

It seems Fred Thompson’s strategy of referencing tadpoles, fish, trucks and assorted other rural imagery has done the trick: The National Right to Life Committee is endorsing him. Their belief that Thompson will make all fetuses live comes in spite of the fact that he’d probably never overturn Roe v. Wade out of sheer laziness. MORE »

Well, that was easy. You don’t run for local office without being hit with a barrage of PAC and interest group questionnaires. Not to answer them means receiving no endorsements; and we all know how Harriet Miers hungers for those. Frankly, I’m surprised this “revelation” didn’t happen weeks ago to someone who once had the option to vote for her for Dallas City Council. It’s all public record.

She answered “Yes” straight down the line on the Texans for United Life sheet. Among the queries:

If Congress passes a Human Life Amendment to the Constitution that would prohibit abortion except when it was necessary to prevent the death of the mother, would you actively support its ratification by the Texas Legislature?

If the Supreme Court returns to the States the right to restrict abortion, would you actively support legislation that would reinstate our 1973 abortion law that prohibited all abortions except those necessary to prevent the death of the mother?

More after the jump. –MICHAEL WEISS
