World Net Daily’s Lester Kinsolving asked Robert Gibbs a question about President Obama’s Social Security number (In case you haven’t kept up with that part of the Obama mystery, your social security number indicates you were born in. The number says the President was born in Connecticut, but neither Obama nor his mother ever suggested that they lived in that state).

Instead of answering the question that was asked, Gibbs attempted to deflect it by bringing up the issue of Obama’s birth certificate.
It’s a very strange exchange. Very strange, indeed.
Newsweek, which once compared Barack Obama to God, has now compared Sarah Palin’s public speaking abilities to those of dimwitted South Carolina Democrat Kevin Greene.

Newsweek, which once compared Barack Obama to God, has now compared Sarah Palin’s public speaking abilities to those of dimwitted South Carolina Democrat Kevin Greene.
Forget those huge, enthusiastic crowds that Palin draws across America. They mean nothing. She’s the worst speaker in politics according to the sputtering news magazine:
Greene Threatens Sarah Palin as Worst Speaker in Politics
He’s just trying to talk about something, frankly.
Alvin Greene, the surprise Democratic nominee for Senate in South Carolina, has a way with words. It’s the way, though, of Sarah Palin and George W. Bush—a tortured relationship with the English language that prevents him from making his points, and that says to voters he may not be up to the job.
Facing calls from fellow Democrats to drop out of the race—and even charges that he is a Republican patsy—Greene doesn’t help his cause with a front-page story in today’s Washington Post, where his verbal difficulties are on abundant display. From the candidate’s home in Manning, S.C., reporter Manuel Roig-Franzia lets Greene’s style speak for itself…
Where’s Dr. Kevorkian when we need him? This slow, painful death that Newsweek is going through is actually becoming painful to watch.
Last week the astronomical geniuses at the NAACP called “black holes” racist. This week Hispanic activists have one upped them in the stupid department by calling a proposed smoking ban in San Antonio racist.
Light up while you still can, San Antonio residents
Last week the astronomical geniuses at the NAACP called “black holes” racist. This week Hispanic activists have one upped them in the stupid department by calling a proposed smoking ban in San Antonio racist.
No. Really. It has to be true, because no one could make up anything that crazy.
WOAI Radio has the story of the activists huffing and puffing:
The effort to ban smoking in all workplaces across the city appears to be going up in smoke, as prominent advertising executive Lionel Sosa tonight will brand the proposal as racist, 1200 WAOI news reports.
“The proposed ordinance is economically discriminatory to members of the Hispanic community,” Sosa will tell council, according to a text of his letter obtained by 1200 WOAI news. “When you look at the population of the small area bars, poll halls, and VFW halls that populate our community, you will see the overwhelming majority of those that will see their freedom of choice stripped from them by this ordinance are Hispanic-owned businesses.”
OK, NAACP, let’s see if you can top that one for stupidity. (When it comes to stupid, our money’s on the NAACP if for no other reason than they’ve had more practice.)
In an interview with MSNBC’s Chuck Todd, Nancy Pelosi actually said she’ll stop blaming Bush for everything “when the problems go away.” Or when hell freezes over. Whichever comes first.
Every once in a while a politician slips and accidentally tells the truth. Even Democrats.
For example, in an interview with MSNBC’s Chuck Todd, Nancy Pelosi actually said she’ll stop blaming Bush for everything “when the problems go away.”
Barack Obama is gritting his teeth as he’s dragged along behind a crazed Portuguese Water Dog. Commander In Chief. President of the United States. Most powerful man in the world. Oh, yeah, this is one scary, ass kickin’ dude.

Hollywood airhead Ashley Judd spoke at the National Press Club in Washington, DC. If only she had just stood there looking hot instead of opening her pie hole.
Hollywood airhead Ashley Judd spoke at the National Press Club in Washington, DC. If only she had just stood there looking hot instead of opening her pie hole.
Judd delighted the assembled press corps her opinions on “the horrors of strip mining”, which she compared to spousal rape.
One would be tempted to think that Judd was a committed environmentalist, except for the fact that she’s married to Scottish auto racer Dario Franchitti. Franchitti races IndyCars and NASCAR (in fact, he just won this year’s Indy 500). He also flies helicopters. The environmentally-concerned duo jet back and forth between homes in Scotland and the United States. In other words, they suck up more energy than the average coal mine produces.
Normally, we hate hypocritical environmentalists who says, “It’s good for thee, but not for me.” But we’re willing to overlook Judd’s transgressions because she’s really hot.

Selective amnesia struck Anderson Cooper when he aired a story about celebrity cheaters. They included Tiger Woods, Jesse James, Eliot Spitzer, Mark Sanford and David Letterman. But neglected CNN’s Larry King.
It's good to be King. Especially around CNN.
Selective amnesia struck Anderson Cooper when he aired a story about celebrity cheaters. They included Tiger Woods, Jesse James, Eliot Spitzer, Mark Sanford and David Letterman.
But what’s even more interesting is who Cooper conveniently forgot to include.
“What was striking was who was absent — Larry King,” noticed radio producer Tom Somach. “His cheating scandal got as much press as any of the others. I guess the fact that King has a show on CNN protected him. It was ridiculous and an absurd conflict of interest.”
C’mon, Anderson. You claim to be a real journalist (despite that horrible New Year’s Eve gig you do with unfunny comedian Kathy Griffin), yet your story on celebrity cheaters doesn’t mention Larry King, a guy who was on the front page of every newspaper in the country after he cheated on his wife with her sister.
That would be like doing a story about senile octogenarian talk show hosts who wear suspenders without mentioning ol’ Larry.
This Keith Olbermann interview of Alvin Greene features awkward moments of silence. Long, awkward moments of silence. And those were the best parts of the interview.
You’ve probably heard about Alvin Greene, the guy South Caroline Democrats nominated to run against popular Republican Jim DeMint for the U.S. Senate.
This Olbermann interview features awkward moments of silence. Long, awkward moments of silence. And those were the best parts of the interview. In fact, they may have been the best moments of any Keith Olbermann show we’ve ever seen.
Greene is a Democrat, so of course, Olbermann treated him with the utmost respect despite the fact that he has a felony obscenity charge pending against him and despite the fact that he appears to be certifiably insane.
Greene, that is, not Olbermann. Although he’s pretty damned crazy, too.

No, this is not about tomorrow’s World Cup soccer game, it’s the latest diplomatic war that our ass-kicking president has started. Now that he’s completely destroyed our alliance with Israel, his next stop is Britain.
No, this is not about tomorrow’s World Cup soccer game, it’s the latest diplomatic war that our ass-kicking president has started. Now that he’s completely destroyed our alliance with Israel, his next stop is Britain. Our Chicago Smart Ass In Chief, seemingly hell-bent on destroying relations with every country on earth (except Iran, of course), has been purposefully calling the international oil company BP by it’s old name, British Petroleum, a name not in use for the last 12 years. The Brits in this CNBC interview are not happy chaps. Not at all.
Mr. President, whose side are you on? After 17 months of isolating Israel and after 17 months of cozying up to her enemies, it seems like a reasonable but rhetorical question. And we’re glad Mike Pence had the balls to stand up in the House of Representatives and ask it.
Mr. President, whose side are you on? After 17 months of isolating Israel and after 17 months of cozying up to her enemies, it seems like a reasonable but rhetorical question. And we’re glad Mike Pence had the balls to stand up in the House of Representatives and ask it.
Here’s the complete transcript of Pence’s comments:
“We all grieve the loss of life that occurred last week when a flotilla designed to challenge Israel’s effective blockade of Gaza ended in military confrontation. But Israel has a right to defend itself.
“The history is clear in that region; Gaza is controlled by a terrorist organization known as Hamas. Hamas used Gaza as a launching pad for thousands of rockets that killed innocent civilians in Israel. Israel responded with military force and has instituted a blockade that has saved lives in Gaza and in Israel. And there’s no humanitarian crisis. Ten thousand tons of food and medical supplies are transferred into Gaza every single week.
“Remarkably, yesterday the president said it was time for Israel to sharply limit its effective blockade in Gaza, saying ‘the situation in Gaza is unsustainable.’
“The truth is, Mr. President, your policy in Israel is unsustainable.
“The American people are on the side of Israel and Israel’s right to defend herself.
“Mr. President, whose side are you on?”
Yup, we’re pretty sure that’s a rhetorical question.

Queen Elizabeth’s dullard son says that man’s destruction of the environment violates the tenets of all religions – especially Islam.
Prince Charles is looking for a religion that says the environment can be saved with private jets and luxurious yachts
Whoever invented the phrase “royal pain in the ass” must have been thinking of Prince Charles.
Queen Elizabeth’s dullard son says that man’s destruction of the environment violates the tenets of all religions – especially Islam.
The Daily Mail UK reports the moron’s musings:
Charles, who is a practising Christian, spoke in depth about his own study of the Qu’ran which, he said, tells its followers that there is ‘no separation between Man and Nature’ and says we must always live within Nature’s mean and limits.
‘From what I know of the Qu’ran, again and again it describes the natural world as the handiwork of a unitary benevolent power,’ he said.
‘It very explicitly describes Nature as possessing an “intelligibility” and that there is no separation between Man and Nature, precisely because there is no separation between the natural world and God.‘It offers a completely integrated view of the Universe where religion and science, mind and matter are all part of one living, conscious whole.
Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
Charles can surround his opinions with all the high-sounding apologist crappola he wants, but let’s be honest here. Have you seen this guy’s wife? If you were married to a woman with a face like hers, you’d also endorse a religion that believes in the burkha.
The cost of the 2010 census has already soared 325% higher than the cost of the 2000 census. There are a lot of reasons, but let’s start with the most obvious one. They hired 550,000 census workers.
How is the census pissing away your money? Let us enumerate the ways.
The cost of the 2010 census has already soared 325% higher than the cost of the 2000 census. There are a lot of reasons, but let’s start with the most obvious one. They will hire 1.4 million people.
That’s more people than work in the airline industry, electronics and appliance stores, the oil and gas business, the railroad industry, and just a hair fewer than the number who work for all of America’s utilities combined.
The Examiner.com reveals some of the other eye-popping expenses:
3.8 million people were recruited to conduct the census and a total of 1.4 million will be hired.
Sponsorship of a NASCAR Team.
425,000,000 direct mail pieces printed in 28 languages.
1.6 million pounds of paper (425,000 truckloads or 341,146 trees).
24 different TV ads.
Super Bowl ad – $2.5 Million.
An interactive website.
Teaching aids for schools.
A road tour.
Various partnerships.
Social Media
Based on its outrageous cost overruns, we humbly suggest that they change the officlal name of this operation from “the Census” to ObamaCount.
The German government just spent thousands of dollars on research to determine if devout Muslims were more prone to violence than non-devout Muslims when they have learned the same thing by spending 25¢ on the morning newspaper and reading the headlines.
Devout, young Muslims practicing the Religion of Peace.
The German government must have lots of extra cash lying around. They just spent thousands of dollars on research to determine if devout Muslims were more prone to violence than non-devout Muslims when they have learned the same thing by spending 25¢ on the morning newspaper and reading the headlines.
MonstersAndCritics.com has the obvious results of the poll:
The more devout a young Muslim male in Germany is, the more likely he is to resort to violence, according to a federally financed study seen Saturday by the German Press Agency dpa.
The study, based on interviews with 45,000 boys and girls aged 14 to 16, also concluded that male supremacist views and a preference for violent videos and computer games link closely with mosque attendance among the young. It compared Christians and Muslims.
Pardon us while we pause to catch our breath, because we never saw this coming. (PAUSE) OK, let’s go to the big conclusion now.
In a conclusion, the authors said the finding might be explained by hypotheses of Rauf Ceylan, an ethnic Turkish scholar in Germany who studies religion.
They said Ceylan had discovered that a majority of mosque clergy in Germany encouraged their congregations to practice a conservative form of Islam and to preserve their ethnic roots.
Devout Muslims are more violence prone than non-devout Muslims and Christians?
Republicans. They’re more informed. More educated. And, apparently, more likely to nominate someone like Alvin Greene.
Alvin Greene can run for office, but he can't run from his past.
Those Democrats, we’re often told, are just plain smarter than Republicans. They’re more informed. More educated. And, apparently, more likely to nominate someone like Alvin Greene.
Greene won South Carolina’s Democrat Senate primary on Tuesday, but no one is quite sure how. A lot of candidates get labeled unknown outside their own states, but Greene is unknown inside his own state. That may explain why he won the primary.
In addition to being unknown, Greene is unemployed. He says he paid for his entire campaign with his own funds.
“It was 100 percent out of my pocket. I’m self-managed. It’s hard work, and just getting my message to supporters. I funded my campaign 100 percent out of my pocket and self-managed,” he added.
South Carolina Democratic Party Chairwoman Carol Fowler says blind luck may have propelled Greene to victory:
“[Greene may have] won because his name appeared first on the ballot, and voters unfamiliar with both candidates chose alphabetically.”
Unfortunately for Greene, he is not completely unknown in South Carolina. Police seem to know him pretty well. In November of 2009, he was charged with a felony for showing “adult” photos to a University of South Carolina student. A conviction could mean up to five years in prison and if he should he win in November, that would overlap rather neatly with his six-year senate term.
Greene may become the first Democrat to be convicted before going to Washington, DC, effectively reversing the typical Democrat career path.
Mississippi Governor Haley Barbour talked to Chris Wallace on Fox News Sunday about President Obama’s less-than-impressive performance on the Gusher in the Gulf.
Mississippi Governor Haley Barbour talked to Chris Wallace on Fox News Sunday about President Obama’s less-than-impressive performance on the Gusher in the Gulf.
“The American people will make their own judgments,” Barbour said. “…Like Napoleon said, ‘Never interfere with your enemy when he’s in the process of destroying himself.’”
He didn’t say the word “Waterloo”, but sure seemed to be implying it.
In a new biography on sale Tuesday, Rush Limbaugh calls fellow conservative talk show host Bill O’Reilly a “Ted Baxter” — after the fictional character on the “The Mary Tyler Moore Show” who was portrayed as a vain, shallow, buffoonish TV newsman.
We must have been too busy with stories about the Gusher in the Gulf, because we missed this story last week.
The Hill reports that the first shot has been fired in a possible civil war among conservative media giants:
In a new biography on sale Tuesday, Rush Limbaugh calls fellow conservative talk show host Bill O’Reilly a “Ted Baxter” — after the fictional character on the “The Mary Tyler Moore Show” who was portrayed as a vain, shallow, buffoonish TV newsman.
“Sorry but somebody’s gotta say it,” Limbaugh is quoted as saying in Rush Limbaugh: An Army of One by Zev Chafets. At press time, O’Reilly had yet to respond to the comment.
But it wasn’t just Bill-O who took grief from Big Rush. Limbaugh said he doesn’t consider any of his fellow conservative talk show hosts to be in his league.
“Sean Hannity and Mark Levin are protégés,” writes Chafets, “and [Limbaugh] has defended Glenn Beck.”
But Limbaugh “doesn’t really consider them, or anyone else, in his league.”
Bill O’Reilly as Ted Baxter? Why that’s absolutely insulting. Insulting to the memory of Ted Baxter.
Two hundred coffee mugs (probably tea mugs in the land down under) created to celebrate Obama’s upcoming visit to Australia had to be destroyed because they misspelled the President’s name.
Kevin Rudd, Australian Prime Minister and Barack Obama’s leading international bootlicker, must be embarrassed.
Two hundred coffee mugs (probably tea mugs in the land down under) created to celebrate Obama’s upcoming visit to Australia had to be destroyed because they misspelled the President’s name.
The Australian reports the typographic tragedy:
The mugs were ordered about ten days ago by Secretary of the Department of Parliamentary Services Alan Thompson on the suggestion of some the department’s staff.
The mugs carried pictures of the President’s face with his first name spelt as “Barrack”.
Mr Thompson told The Australian Online the mugs were manufactured in China or Vietnam but the branding had been conducted by an Australian company in Queensland.
However, he has taken responsibility for the spelling mistake and believes at this stage that the error “may have occurred inside the department”.
“We’ve got to take accountability for the misspelling,” he told The Australian Online.
Despite the mistake, two of the mugs were sold this morning before a staff member at the gift shop spotted the error.
The cost to produce each mug was $5 and they were to be sold at the gift shop at a price of $10.
In addition to getting the spelling of the President’s name wrong, the Aussies also got his economics wrong. If they really wanted to properly honor this president, they would have spent $10 to produce the mugs and sold them for $5.
The left is strangely excited by the concept of Sarah Palin’s large, new breasts. And who can blame them?
“Sarah Palin got a boob job! Sarah Palin got a boob job! Sarah Palin got a boob job.”
The Boston Herald reports the left’s latest lame excuse to attack the former Alaska governor:
Alaska’s former governor sported more Northern Exposure than usual at the Belmont Stakes race this weekend, sending the blogosphere into a tizzy, wondering whether Palin is exercising a woman’s right to (bigger) boobs.
Palin and her husband, Todd, were in New York on Sunday to bet on their pick, “First Dude,” named after Palin’s husband.
But it was Palin’s newfound perkiness, not her politics, that bumped “Heidi Montag” and “implants” off the Most Googled list.
Sarah Palin sure looks like she was trotting out some new work at the horse races,” reported the political blog Wonkette yesterday after getting a tip on the Web site’s Facebook feed.
And so began yesterday’s Zapruder-filmlike investigation, as thousands carefully pored over Palin’s before-and-after measurements like seasoned bra-fitters at Lady Grace.
“It could be just a good push-up bra,” offered one local woman in her 20s, who knows of which she speaks.

At least that’s how former Gulf Coast Obamaniacs seem to feel. Metaphorically speaking, that is.
The Associated Press has the heartbreaking details of a love affair gone bad:
The widening scope of the disaster deepened the anger and despair just as Obama arrived for his third visit to the stricken Gulf Coast.
On Obama’s trip to the Grand Isle on the Louisiana coast, his motorcade passed a building that had been adorned with his portrait reminiscent of posters of him during his presidential campaign. Instead of “hope” or “change,” the words “what now?” were on his forehead.
Potemkin villages. That’s what we need in this country. Potemkin villages where hope and change shine as brightly as ever and the peasants still love their President
Obama gives a high school graduation speech in which he says, “Don’t blame others…Don’t point fingers…Everybody’s always pointing fingers at somebody else. You know what I’m saying?” Laughably hypocritical.
