And now it’s on the news*. I’m pretty sure this is the first time Cokie’s Law has ever worked on my side.

* (The local news, that is – where, I feel I must point out, they didn’t feel the David Gregory-an need to scour the countryside until they found someone to explain that it’s not that big a deal and besides libruls do it too.)

In an effort to reach out to conservative media, presumptive Republican nominee Mitt Romney and wife Ann met for two hours Wednesday with several dozen conservative bloggers, reporters and columnists in an off-the-record gathering at a private Washington, D.C., club, according to attendees.

…

The attendees came from numerous conservative sites and right-of-center publications, including National Review, Daily Caller, American Spectator, Washington Examiner, Right Wing News, Powerline, Townhall, Ace of Spades, Rhiel World View, White House Dossier [?], and Pajamas Media. RNC chairman Reince Preibus also attended.

Remember, it’s only a scandalous media sellout to go into the tank for a certain candidate when the black Democrat does it. Because SHUT UP THAT’S WHY.

Proof positive that David Ayers wrote the book, that Obama is a poopyhead and the whole 2008 election is scratched and McCain Palin wins.

The WHP is from the writings of the mormon founder who claimed the Constitution (a doc mormons believe written by THE hand of gawd)

Really? Uh, how do they explain the – you know, dudes? Like, uh, Washington, Franklin – the, like, Founders?

The only thing more frightening than living next door to a family that talks like that is living next door to a voter who hears a speech about this Romney-family conversation and is inspired to vote for Mitt.

Of course, only the second one actually exists …

Colombian.

Are there any members of the Catholic League BESIDES Bill Donohue? Or is it strictly an invention of Bill Donohue’s because “Bill Donohue: Liar, Bigot and Passionate Defender of Child Molesters” isn’t a calling card that’s gonna get you booked on too many talk shows?

Nobody currently sitting on the Court has ever run for elected office, nobody has tried a death-penalty case, and nobody, it’s fair to assume, has been interrupted by the police while he or she was half-dressed in a run-down apartment outside Houston.

And, unless Sotomayor or Kagan have broken the streak without my knowing it, it’s been 30 years since there’s been anyone on the Supreme Court who had ever defended a criminal case.

You’re left four or five comments since you were asked

Suppose Martin DID attack Zimmerman – AFTER Zimmerman had been stalking him both in his truck and on foot. And also, with a gun. Are you suggesting that you wouldn’t have the right to defend yourself against someone who was chasing you with a gun? Really?

and you’re STILL afraid to answer it.

So I guess that’s your answer.

“If those n!%%@rs weren’t so stupid and lazy they’d see that libruls are the real racists.”

I love it when a white guy comes to explain to us all what’s racist and what isn’t. It’s so clarifying to hear these little-heard voices.

As anyone can guess from his nose-hair forest,

You can’t POSSIBLY think I’m going to click on that link.

This is what 21st-century racism looks like.

You know what? Barack Obama won an election to be president of the United States. Three-plus years ago. At this point, the “unedited” (yeah right) version of this 1991 video (I wish there were such a thing as capital numbers here) could show Barack Obama saying “I will climb through a motherfucking honky’s window and slit his goddamn throat in the middle of the night” and I DON’T FUCKING CARE. In fact, I kind of hope he said that, so that the entire country can learn about it and say “WE DON’T FUCKING CARE.”

“It sounds like they want to turn the clock back to the back ally practices they were against.”

And that would be completely crazy. So anyone with an above-houseplant IQ who didn’t hate America would start thinking about possible alternate explanations.

Maybe Santee will elect one of those someday.

This is the new ‘learned helplessness’ and that is what they want….

“We’re not telling you what to do; we’re just taking away every option but the one we want. No, I don’t see how that has anything to do with the way wife-beaters work. Why do you ask?”

Like I’ve said before, I’d like to think that the Democratic sweep that’s coming in November will be the result of the electorate studying the issues, running the numbers and fact-checking the statements. But it’s more likely to be a matter of the electorate collectively shouting “All those conservatives DO is FUCKING COMPLAIN!”

When you say “It is appalling, no question,” and you’re just about to add “But …” Stop. Don’t do it.Just stop.

Every conservative pitch – every one – says “We’re winning! But we haven’t won yet!” Keeps the money flowing in and the victim complexes revving.

And like Wile E. Coyote, Karen Handel will magically appear in the next scene heading some wingnut organization without a scratch on her, as if nothing ever happened.

Conservatives can’t hold a little thing like complete and utter failure against a member of the tribe – there’d be no one left. It’s the one area of life where they live the adage about glass houses.

They do it because both their corporate funders and their voters give them credit for trying, even if they don’t succeed. It’s the one and only way I wish the Democrats were more like them.

Shorter Ari Fleischer: I was only giving them advice as a historian.
