“Today, President Obama and former Vice President Dick Cheney gave speeches on torture. Now, is it me or have we seen more of Dick Cheney in the last week than we did in the past eight years? Anyway, the President spoke out against torture, while Cheney’s speech was more of a how-to discussion.” – Jay […]

An article in The Economist (of all places) talks about the difficulty comedians are having making jokes about Obama: David Letterman says that Obama is “cogent, eloquent, and in complete command of the issues. What the hell am I supposed to do with that?” Bill Mayer complains that Obama is “not fat, not cheating on […]
Mike Huckabee immediately blasted Obama’s nomination of Sonia Sotomayor to the Supreme Court, saying that she comes from the “far left” and would result in an “Extreme Court”.

Sean Hannity chickened out on his offer to be waterboarded for charity, but conservative talk show host Erich “Mancow” Muller decided to prove that waterboarding wasn’t torture by submitting to it. I wanted to prove it wasn’t torture. They cut off our heads, we put water on their face … I really thought “I’m going […]
“President Obama appointed Utah’s Republican Governor Jon Huntsman as ambassador to China, part of Obama’s strategy to get every Republican out of the country by 2010.” – Jimmy Fallon “Michelle Obama went to the ballet here in New York last night. I heard she saw Hillary Clinton’s favorite ballet, ‘The Nutcracker.’” – Jimmy Fallon “You […]

It looks like Republicans are determined to make their tent as small as possible. Jerry Falwell’s Liberty University in Virginia revoked its recognition of the campus Democratic Club, saying ““we are unable to lend support to a club whose parent organization stands against the moral principles held by” the university. The Club can no longer […]
