© Henry Payne If it weren’t so pitiful and cowardly, it would be funny. Especially watching Mitt Romney trying to explain how Obama’s health care reform is completely different from his own health care reform, which mainly boils down to “mine isn’t called Obamacare“. Does it scare anyone else that Michelle Bachmann came off during […]
© Mike Stanfill Who knew economics could be this sexy? Well, at least more sexy than photos of politicians in their underwear.
According to an article in Politico, if you don’t like the political opinions expressed by conservative talk radio hosts like Glenn Beck, Sean Hannity, or even Rush Limbaugh, you can pay them to have different opinions. Limbaugh regularly promotes the Heritage Foundation, and even encourages people to contribute money to it. Same thing for Hannity. […]
“Congressman Weiner has entered a treatment program. Amazingly, it’s the only thing he’s entered during the entire Weinergate scandal.” – Conan O’Brien “Congressman Anthony Weiner has just checked himself into a treatment centre for people battling chronic sexual dysfunction. Checked in? He’s already there, it’s called Congress.” – Jay Leno “It’s so sunny today that […]

House Speaker John Boehner is a fierce critic of government spending, but that didn’t stop him from improperly spending half a million dollars of money on an outside law firm to defend DOMA — the defense of marriage act. According to the watchdog group Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW), Boehner violated the […]
“Democrats and Republicans are calling for Congressman Anthony Weiner to resign. Late night comedians are asking him to hang in there.” – Conan O’Brien “The Chairman of the Republican Party Ed Cox said that he would use the incriminating pictures from Anthony Weiner to defeat him. So now we have Cox versus Weiner. This just […]
© Tom Toles Republicans, who voted against every single bill that Obama came up with to help jumpstart the economy, spent their debate last night attacking Obama for not doing enough about the economy. But their only answer is lower taxes, which ignores the fact that one third of the cost of Obama’s stimulus bill […]
© Clay Bennett Tell me again why everyone is calling for Weiner to resign? Did he do something illegal? He never even had physical sex with any of these women, and the sexting was consensual. How can Democrats or Republicans call for Weiner to resign, when Bill Clinton didn’t resign (or get removed from office) […]
Warning, this video is not safe for work, partly because you’ll laugh out loud — a dramatic reading with Jane Lynch of Congressman Anthony Weiner’s sexting:
“Comedy people sit around for years hoping for a scandal called ‘Weinergate.’ And then it happens.” – Conan O’Brien Congressman Weiner reportedly called Bill Clinton to apologize for his behavior. After Bill suggested that Weiner also call Hillary, Weiner said, ‘Don’t worry, I sent her a text.’” – Conan O’Brien “What?! The congressman had a […]
Daniel Ellsberg points out that thanks to the Patriot Act and similar laws, all of Nixon’s crimes would be perfectly legal today. Watergate would be legal, Ellsberg himself would probably be rotting in jail, and who knows when (or even if) the Vietnam war would have ended. We have not learned our lessons from history, […]
© Matt Bors Alabama governor Robert Bentley signed into law the nation’s nastiest immigration law, which requires local police to detain anyone suspected of being an undocumented immigrant. You can easily guess how that will end up — anyone who looks the slightest bit Mexican will get hassled and will have to carry citizenship papers […]
“The list of women who got sexy pics from Anthony Weiner keeps growing. As of now it’s a porn star, a single mom from Texas, a blackjack dealer, and a student from Seattle. Is this a sex scandal or the next cast of Survivor? ‘Survivor: Weiner Island.’” – Craig Ferguson “He said there were six […]
