Actually for this to be George Tierney of Greenville, SC’s “Santorum moment” we’d have to totally redefine “George Tierney” as something more memorable than a subspecies of drum (fish) that sounds like it’s being waterboarded while mating, and less pitiful than a senescent old fart who missed the first and only golf hole-in-one in his life by inches, and just won’t shut up about it.

“…I don’t know. But for some reason, it seems to be a natural medium for conservatives….”

Just as water can’t fight the force of gravity, wingnuts appear to have a fatal attraction for media geared to the lowest common denominator: Fox News, tabloids, and now Twitter. Its 140 characters are geared to those whose level of discourse generally extends to soundbites, epithets, cliches, and pithy perversions of faith. It’s nice to know that Jonah has finally found his metier.

“Jonah was there for much of this. His apartment was the scene of meetings between Lucianne and Linda Tripp that would define the rest of the Clinton era.”

The furtive phone calls. The frisson of–dare I say it–sexual excitement, as the two women met in Jonah’s bachelor pad for midday cocktails coupled with furtive exchanges of gossip. They spoke in whispers with heads held close as they reclined on the ghetto plaid couch, oblivious of the flop sweat, Cheeto crumbs, and loose change between the cushions. And as they shared a post-conspiratorial cigarette, one can almost imagine Lucianne Goldberg’s smoke rings gradually morphing into dollar signs as they floated toward the cottage cheese textured stucco where they ultimately dissolved among the faint traces of glitter….

Substandard ghost writing deserves hackneyed comedic gag: “Bristol, you ignorant slut!”

Two words for Romney & the rest of the wingnuts to keep in mind before they say anything about Obama claiming credit for a goal he didn’t achieve:

“MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!”

I still think it’s no coincidence that shortly after Breitbart left this mortal coil, Dick Cheney suddenly got a heart transplant.

THOMAS ROBERTS: There is this case I want to get you on the record on talking about of an Indiana Catholic school teacher fired after receiving fertility treatments—IVF. Her fertility treatments are against what the Catholic Church would teach or does teach. This country was founded on freedom of religion, but we also are a country that has freedom from religion. What do you think, as you know all too well, being at a Georgetown law school, which is a Catholic university and going up against the Catholic institution the way that you did, what do you think about the way that Catholic women are dealt with in this country currently with the church?

Gee–I am confused. Does Tommy expect Ms. Fluke to engage in the unlicensed practice of law w/r/t the above legal issue, or is he just hoping Ms. Fluke is dumb enough to provide him with an incendiary anti-Catholic quote?

Poor Ross…. He never DID figure out that all of the “cool” kids at Harvard and other schools usually keep at least one “pet wanker” around to torture, so they don’t get sued by the bona fide minorities. After all, the mark of the true meritocratic social climber at Harvard–and similar institutions, is knowing how to cover your a$$ets!

“If it was wrong for Rosen to mention Mrs. Romney, it was more wrong for Romney to thrust her into the limelight to begin with.”

…But it had to happen. Ann Romney is the perfect political wife–by which I mean that she’s too disinterested in her relationship to take on the REAL WORK of a marriage, i.e.: Telling her spouse when he’s behaving like an ass, because no one else who works with him will.

Sarah Palin is WAY out of her league–she can’t sit a horse worth a damn.

I’m having visions of unemployed dental hygienists and lab techs offering to scrape the plaque from female uterii in back alleys–just as a precaution, mind you.

Well, there’s always the possibility that he’ll make the five sons who live for free in his flippin’ basement in La Jolla manage his campaign website. I for one look forward to “Question Time” with the Mittster’s spawn.

Barbiturates, brandy, benzodiazepines….

From the grammar and syntax, I’m guessing it’s similar to the “whining whitebreads’” blogs in reverse video.

“When you subsidize people, you create the dependency. You — you rob them of dignity.”

Abso-fuckin’-lutely! If they aren’t qualified to work, they can at least donate blood plasma for money twice a week, enabling us to trim $250 per month from welfare payments per household. Don’t think of the savings to the government–think of the “dignitude” that poor people will receive from helping others!

“…I purchased a handgun and have a conceal carry permit, and If I am attacked by any person of any race or gender, one of us is going to the morgue. I strongly suggest every white person do the same. And one more piece of advice… Stock up on ammo. I have a strong suspicion that if the Marxist pig in the white house is not reelected there may well be a race war. Don’t become a statistic.”

Okay, if only white people should stock up on guns and ammo, why is Chuckie not the least bit upset that Zimmerman was Hispanic? Is there some heirarchy of racial animus adhered to by the Wingnuts, or does Florida now observe the Treaty of Guadelupe Hidalgo?

Now I’m beginning to understand why no one close to Mitt seems to think he’s out of touch and has a raging foot-in-mouth problem.

CUE THE MUSIC: “This is their Jerry Springer moment….”

First, certain trolls, who will go unreferenced, seem to have no idea what Universal Healthcare actually is. The highly touted German model, which was suggested as a template for the ACA by Democrats with a death wish, operates this way: Persons with incomes under approximately 45,000 Euros per year are expected to choose from several “packages” of insurance benefits, which are affordable because the prices are scaled to correspond with various salary ranges. The packages are provided by well-known private insurers. Persons making above the threshold 45,000 Euros per year have the option of choosing a private health care plan; BUT once you choose the private plan, you cannot qualify for the public plans unless your yearly income falls below the threshold of approximately 45,000 Euros. Most of the private health care providers also supply the approved plans for the public plans.

Compare that with the Social Security Act, which expects workers of all ages to fork over a percentage of the first approximately $70,000 per year they make–which automatically means that it operates as a regressive tax on those Americans who can least afford it: The people who make too much money to qualify for any sort of public aid, but not enough to afford health care if their employers don’t provide it. And by the time Gen Y gets to be 70–or whatever the “officially mandated retirement age” will be by then, the trust will have been sucked dry by current crop of old farts who had to have their free scooters!

Screw the protesters–and the scooters they rode in on!

1.) The story in the LATimes, which is generally recognized as a newspaper of record, totally contradicts your position that Martin attacked Zimmerman first.
2.) The headline story in “The Moderate Voice,” which I have never heard of, but given the tenor of the writing, appears to be geared to non-critical readers states: “Anonymous Witness Reportedly Tells Police Martin Attacked Zimmerman.”
It doesn’t say: “Eyewitness Tells Police Martin Attacked Zimmerman.”
It doesn’t say: “Reliable Witness Tells Police Martin Attacked Zimmerman.”
It doesn’t even say: “Reliable Source Confirms Martin Attacked Zimmerman.”
If the distinction between the above elude you, next time, “pix or it didn’t happen.”
