Who knew Keith Richards’ autobiography, Life, would be such a perfect political history of the 1950s-2000s? We’ve been tremendously enjoying this book, having accidentally received a copy surely intended for Pitchfork or Tumblr or something, and we’ve been especially delighted by the political anecdotes, of which there are hundreds. Hundreds. So, beginning right now, we [...]

Juan Williams is a hero! Conservatives love their Fox News more than anything, and when you mess with a member of that family, you will pay, even if that member is black and liberal. To be fair, what Juan Williams admitted is probably the nicest thing anyone has ever said about Muslims on Fox News, [...]

Team Sarah knows that the only place truth can possibly exist is in their teevee box, when it’s tuned to Fox News. But what happens when Fox News talks about Sarah Palin and it’s not in the religiously masturbatory way they do at Team Sarah? Is Fox News starting to HIDE the truth that Sarah [...]

General Petraeus is on the scene in Afghanistan — and by “Afghanistan” we mean “the Sunday morning political talk shows, in America” — to announce his intention to just stone cold win this war for you, whether you like it or not. “The president didn’t send me over here to seek a graceful exit,” Petraeus [...]

Public Policy Polling has released some important figures: polling on all major potential 2012 patriot presidential candidates and how they all stack up against MaoBama. Let’s see, we’ve got Sarah Palin, Mike Huckabee, Newt Gingrich, Ron Paul, Mitt Romney, and Chris Christie. Oh, and Basil Marceaux. Yep, that’s probably what the field will look like. [...]

How did we miss this Mike Huckabee/Fox News show on Sunday? Oh yeah, because it was Mike Huckabee’s show on Fox News, on Sunday. Anyway, Blacky McHopesalot is causing the “End Times” and the Apocalypse, just like Jimmy Carter did, three decades ago. [Right Wing Watch]

Mitt Romney raised more money for his PAC than any of the other supposed Republican candidates for president in the 2012 election, so congrats, Mittens, you are the new leader of the free world. Romney came up with $1.8 million of other people’s money, beating “second place” Sarah Palin by a million dollars or so. [...]

Popular E.B. White periodical The New Yorker has a lengthy profile on our future president, popular New Yorker and teevee personality Mike Huckabee. Our Man from Hope opens up about Jews and gays and elitists, among other New Yorker readers, so certainly he would say nothing those groups would object to, right?

We know. We know you did not sleep last night for the same reason we didn’t: Mike Huckabee still hasn’t made a decision about running for president in 2012. Even though it is still early 2010, what’s the damn holdup? Some of us are trying to max out on donations here! Let’s see what is [...]

Angelina Jolie recolonized The Congo so that Brangelina could adopt as many precious diamonds and African orphans as humanly possible. [The Daily Dish] On a similar note: Mike Huckabee just wants you to know that babies do not = puppies, these are two different things, and yeah the gays can sodomize as many adopted puppies [...]

Wonkette operative “Lydia” send this multimedia message from her cell phone: “I’m in line @ security & noticed this guy from the politics.”

Woo-hoo, the Seattle police just cold gunned down a black guy! But not just a regular standing-around black guy, an actual alleged cop killer who is likely the guy — eh, he can’t sue now, right? — okay, the actual cop-killing sonofabitch, totally dead, “shot and killed in South Seattle early this morning by a [...]

In an effort to reduce its carbon footprint, the REPUBLICAN NATIONAL COMMITTEE has pledged to recycle smear campaigns and political spin! Yes, MICHAEL STEELE has finally done it! He’s bringing back all your favorites: “flip-flopper” … WILLIE HORTON … “cut and run” … “Why did the Democrats flip-flop and let Willie Horton cut and run?” [...]

Yes Mike, we know, that’s fine. [Ben Smith]

Mike Huckabee has a new (/old!) idea: get rid of the United Nations completely, because of those mean speeches the other day. This, however, is an improvement over recent years, when the actual U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, John Bolton, was the most prominent figure arguing for the destruction of the United Nations. But [...]
