I found this video clip and just about died laughing. Then I read the article explaining the video. The salient events are:
In 1990, a year or two before he became super-famous, Rush Limbaugh guest-hosted Pat Sajak’s short-lived talk show. It didn’t go so well: The taping was disrupted by a group of angry [...]

it helps to demonstrate publicly your total ignorance.

The Pope announced today that the current financial crisis is an example of the futility of money and ambition. His exact words were, He who builds only on visible and tangible things like success, career and money builds the house of his life on sand.
“We are now seeing, in the collapse of major banks, [...]

You just never know where things will wind up. That’s one of the reasons so many people – myself included – are captivated by weather forecasts. We think that if we know what the weather is going to be, we’ll be able, somehow, to control it. Like we’ll be one-up on the [...]

A friend sent me these two posts about John McCain from a very liberal message board, and they were so good, I had put them here:
“Put Gramps to bed, he’s talking out of his head again.”
To which a wag added:
“And give him a Viagra so he doesn’t roll out of bed.”

but the reviews for this “book”are hysterically funny.

but his speechwriter is perhaps dumber than Fuckface. And that’s saying something.
This is posted on the White House website, but, when someone with half a brain sees it, and figures out how incredibly stupid and heartless it is, I’m sure it’ll be taken down pronto:
Statement by the President Upon Departure from Crawford, Texas

In Houston, a Texan protesting amnesty for illegal immigrants argues that anyone who can’t master English doesn’t deserve to live in America.

Hell, he’s like every man I know, except he’s wealthier than most of them, and all Eliot Spitzer wanted was to get some. What’s the big deal?
This is what the FBI is doing? Busting prostitute businesses? Ah, good. The folks who completely blew 9/11 are busy trying to put away folks [...]

We are a nation of laws, and our Constitution is sacrosanct.
That’s what I’ve been taught, anyway, even though I’m listening to some asshole from the National Review thundering like someone’s neglected pet fart about the Irving Lewis Libby (hereinafter referred to as “ILL”) verdict that was handed down in Washington.
DC Federal juries are the most [...]

One of the most salient and unfortunate characteristics of those who would deny us our free speech rights and the attendant rights and privileges of being an American citizen is that these rightwingnuts (oh, yes, they’re always rightwingnuts) never champion in favor of things, but, more often than not, against things.
Or people.
People who aren’t like [...]

I mean, if you claim only to have had one homosexual experience, does that mean you got in under the allowable minimum and can lay (HAHAHAHA!) claim to being heterosexual?
Or does it just mean that the number of penises you have to suck or accept is higher than one?
I don’t know. Never thought about [...]

Well, well, well. We finally know where Bobby is.
He’s dead.
A bigger bum never lived, but he was, I must admit, the perfect creation of his mother and father, my aunt and uncle, who were sure their “Bobby Shaftoe” never did anything wrong.
God, I didn’t realize he was that old. I never [...]

Listen carefully to the sounds of sexism out there, and then consider how ingrained and unconscious are our prejudices, our fears. It is so subtle, it is so concealed, it is so impossible to believe about ourselves, and yet, there it is, there it is, and that cannot be denied.
It’s a simple and quite [...]

We were in Chicago, in a hotel, watching Fay marry Douglas. It was an interminable ceremony, but Fay was happy, and she was my best law school friend – even though we’d already moved to Virginia, where I’d finish law school while Fay finished in Chicago – so I was happy for her.
She cracked [...]

The most recent issue of Vanity Fair contains an article called “Neo Culpa,” a clever play on the request for forgiveness of one’s sins within the context of the Roman Catholic Mass – mea culpa, mea culpa, mea maxima culpa: through my fault, through my fault, through my most grievous fault, the translation goes.
Funny what [...]
