The Democrats’ opposition research team has really let the party down this time. How did they miss this potential scandal lurking in Scott Brown’s background?

There are so many inappropriate liberal comments that we’re thinking of opening The Liberal Bigot Hall of Fame to honor the best of the best. Each of the following liberal icons would get a nice brass plaque featuring their face and most bigoted quotes.
Do not make the mistake of thinking Harry Reed’s recent comment that President Obama might be electable because he’s light-skinned and doesn’t have a negro dialect is an isolated event.
In fact, there are so many inappropriate liberal comments that we’re thinking of opening The Liberal Bigot Hall of Fame to honor the best of the best. Each of the following liberal icons would get a nice brass plaque featuring their face and most bigoted quotes.
Of course, Robert Byrd (D-WV) was a unanimous first round selection into the Hall.

And now, without further delay, here are 20 remarkably bigoted comments made by liberals.
“You’d find these potentates from down in Africa, you know, rather than eating each other, they’d just come up and get a good square meal in Geneva.”
– Senator Fritz Hollings
Blacks and Hispanics are “too busy eating watermelons and tacos” to learn how to read and write.”
– Mike Wallace
“In the days of slavery, there were those slaves who lived on the plantation and [there] were those slaves that lived in the house. You got the privilege of living in the house if you served the master … exactly the way the master intended to have you serve him. Colin Powell’s committed to come into the house of the master. When Colin Powell dares to suggest something other than what the master wants to hear, he will be turned back out to pasture.”
– Harry Belafonte
“A handkerchief-head, chicken-and-biscuit-eating Uncle Tom.”
– Spike Lee referring to Clarence Thomas
“Rather I should die a thousand times, and see Old Glory trampled in the dirt never to rise again, than to see this beloved land of ours become degraded by race mongrels, a throwback to the blackest specimen from the wilds.”
– Robert Byrd
“I am a former kleagle of the Ku Klux Klan in Raleigh County and the adjoining counties of the state …. The Klan is needed today as never before and I am anxious to see its rebirth here in West Virginia …. It is necessary that the order be promoted immediately and in every state of the Union. Will you please inform me as to the possibilities of rebuilding the Klan in the Realm of W. Va …. I hope that you will find it convenient to answer my letter in regards to future possibilities.”
– Robert Byrd
“I’ll have those niggers voting Democratic for the next 200 years.”

“You f*cking Jew b@stard.”

‘Hymietown.’

“Jews — that’s J-E-W-S.”
– State Senator Bill McKinney explaining why his daughter Cynthia lost in 2002
“Civil rights laws were not passed to protect the rights of white men and do not apply to them.”
– Mary Frances Berry, Chairwoman, US Commission on Civil Rights
The white man is our mortal enemy, and we cannot accept him. I will fight to see that vicious beast go down into the lake of fire prepared for him from the beginning, that he never rise again to give any innocent black man, woman or child the hell that he has delighted in pouring on us for 400 years.”
– Louis Farrakhan
“White folks was in caves while we was building empires… We taught philosophy and astrology and mathematics before Socrates and them Greek homos ever got around to it.”
– Rev. Al Sharpton
“The white race is the cancer of human history.”
– Susan Sontag
These negros, they’re getting pretty uppity these days and that’s a problem for us since they’ve got something now they’ve never had before, the political pull to back up their uppityness.
– LBJ
“I am not going to use the federal government’s authority deliberately to circumvent the natural inclination of people to live in ethnic homogeneous neighborhoods.”
– Jimmy Carter
I mean, you’ve got the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy.”
– Joe Biden (referring to Barack Obama)
Democrats’ support among leftist allies is fading faster than the tan President Obama picked up on his Hawaiian vacation. CNN’s Jack Cafferty calls Pelosi “a horrible woman.” Why must he continue to understate the facts?

Are America’s youth suffering buyer’s remorse yet? They gave Obama their votes en masse and he’s given them unemployment en masse.
Are America’s youth suffering buyer’s remorse yet? They gave Obama their votes en masse and he’s given those youth unemployment en masse.
New stats from the Bureau of Labor Statistics tell the grim tale:
“The unemployment rate for young Americans has exploded to 52.2 percent — a post-World War II high, according to the Labor Dept. — meaning millions of Americans are staring at the likelihood that their lifetime earning potential will be diminished and, combined with the predicted slow economic recovery, their transition into productive members of society could be put on hold for an extended period of time.”
“The number represents the flip-side to the Labor Dept.’s report that the employment rate of 16-to-24 year olds has eroded to 46.6 percent — the lowest ratio of working young Americans in that age group, including all but those in the military, since WWII.”
Not to worry, because The Greatest President In History has this all figured out.
He’ll give half of them college scholarships and pay the other half to enlist in the Obama Youth Brigade.
Problem solved. Let’s play golf.

Might we humbly offer a suggestion, Mr. President? If you’re really as tired as you say, take a nap every afternoon. Lay off the golf. And the photo shoots for all those magazine covers. And the appearances on all those TV shows. And the bowing to foreign dignitaries. Especially the bowing to foreign dignitaries.
Sometimes stories just write themselves. Or in this case, sometimes the Associated Press writes them.
This cloying AP story explains that being the so-called leader of the so-called free world is tiring. Very tiring, indeed.
CAPITAL CULTURE: Big first year leaves Obama tired
After a sleepless, overnight flight to Oslo to accept the Nobel Peace Prize earlier this month, President Barack Obama made a not altogether surprising admission. He was tired.
Who could blame him? The president was on his ninth foreign trip to his 21st country; he added a 10th trip the following week. The year had been bookended by the two most intense periods of his young presidency – the early decisions to bail out the nation’s banks and automobile industry, steps the president deemed unpopular but necessary, and his December orders to deploy 30,000 additional U.S. troops to fight the war in Afghanistan.
Throw in an unemployment rate in the double-digits, a health care bill still stuck on Capitol Hill, and last-minute negotiations on a global climate change agreement, and aides say it’s no secret that the president is tired, and looking forward to recharging during his year-end family vacation in Hawaii.
Obama himself has been candid about the pressures of being president during what he has called an “extraordinary year.”
“You have a convergence of factors that have made this a difficult year not so much for me but for the American people,” he said in an interview with CBS News last month. “Absolutely that weighs on me.”
That weight was particularly striking during the president’s exhaustive, three-month review of the U.S. strategy in Afghanistan. Images of a visibly tired Obama, his black hair now flecked with gray, greeting the bodies of fallen soldiers at Dover Air Force Base and walking through rows of headstones at Arlington National Cemetery sparked rumors that he was skipping meals and losing weight.
Why that poor, tired man. Who would have thought that socializing the American economy could be such hard work?

No one’s ever accused Wikipedia of being impartial nor even particularly accurate. But Lawrence Solomon’s story in the National Post reveals how one global warming cultist, William Connolley, ingle-handedly twisted the truth in more than 5,000 Wikipedia articles on global warming.
No one’s ever accused Wikipedia of being impartial nor even particularly accurate. But Lawrence Solomon’s story in the National Post reveals how one global warming cultist, William Connolley, (PHOTO, RIGHT) single-handedly twisted the truth in more than 5,000 Wikipedia articles on global warming:
Connolley took control of all things climate in the most used information source the world has ever known – Wikipedia. Starting in February 2003, just when opposition to the claims of the band members were beginning to gel, Connolley set to work on the Wikipedia site. He rewrote Wikipedia’s articles on global warming, on the greenhouse effect, on the instrumental temperature record, on the urban heat island, on climate models, on global cooling. On Feb. 14, he began to erase the Little Ice Age; on Aug.11, the Medieval Warm Period. In October, he turned his attention to the hockey stick graph. He rewrote articles on the politics of global warming and on the scientists who were skeptical of the band. Richard Lindzen and Fred Singer, two of the world’s most distinguished climate scientists, were among his early targets, followed by others that the band especially hated, such as Willie Soon and Sallie Baliunas of the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics, authorities on the Medieval Warm Period.
All told, Connolley created or rewrote 5,428 unique Wikipedia articles. His control over Wikipedia was greater still, however, through the role he obtained at Wikipedia as a website administrator, which allowed him to act with virtual impunity. When Connolley didn’t like the subject of a certain article, he removed it — more than 500 articles of various descriptions disappeared at his hand. When he disapproved of the arguments that others were making, he often had them barred — over 2,000 Wikipedia contributors who ran afoul of him found themselves blocked from making further contributions. Acolytes whose writing conformed to Connolley’s global warming views, in contrast, were rewarded with Wikipedia’s blessings. In these ways, Connolley turned Wikipedia into the missionary wing of the global warming movement.
Who is Connolley? Here’s what Wikipedia says about him:
Connolley holds a Bachelor of Arts in mathematics and Doctor of Philosophy from the University of Oxford for his work on numerical analysis. Connolley has authored and co-authored many articles in the field of climatological research.
Connolley served as a parish councillor in the village of Coton (near Cambridge, England) until May 2007. He stood as a Green Party candidate for either South Cambridgeshire District Council or Cambridgeshire County Council every year from 2001 to 2005.
Of course, Connolley probably wrote his own Wikipedia bio, so we have no idea if any of it is true.

$199? We say wait a couple more weeks. After Christmas, these things will be cheap enough to use a stocking stuffers next Christmas.
And years from now they’ll be sentimental reminders of that brief period of time in American history when people went nuts and made a completely unqualified socialist their President.

The latest survey puts the president’s approval at 49%-46%. But that’s not just low, it’s historically low.
How the mighty have fallen. In the polls, that is. According to a new USA TODAY/Gallup Poll, Obama’s still in positive territory. Barely.
The latest survey puts the president’s approval at 49%-46%. But that’s not just low, it’s historically low. Here’s how other presidents have fared at this point in their presidencies:
George W. Bush 86%
John Kennedy 77%
George Bush 71%
Dwight Eisenhower 69%
Richard Nixon 59%
Jimmy Carter 57%
Bill Clinton 54%
Reagan 49%
Obama 49%
Although they both had 49% approval rating, that evil conservative Ronald Reagan rates higher than Obama because his negatives were lower (41% for Reagan vs 46% for Obama).
The poll of 1,025 adults, taken by landline and cellphone, has a margin of error of 4 percentage points, which means that Obama’s approval rating could be as low as 45%.
Give it another couple months and Obama will be recalling these as the good old days.

10. Stay married. For better or worse.
Australian Senator Steve Fielding told a Senate hearing that divorce leads to a “resource-inefficient lifestyle” and that the planet would benefit if couples stayed married. Maybe that’s why the Clintons are still together.
9. Share a room with the Father, Son and Holy Ghost
According to an article in the Irish Times, “Ireland’s Catholic bishops … said the public should adopt a simpler lifestyle to help the planet.” Hey, wait just a darn sec. Doesn’t that contradict #10?
8. Sock it to global warming
During an interview on the BBC, sculptor Antony Gormley said, “Dispense with your socks … this is a time of global warming. Through our feet we can begin to feel it.” Walk a mile in Al Gore’s shoes.
7. Fido Stroganoff
Brenda and Robert Vale, a couple of whacked out New Zealand professors, suggest that you should swap your cats and dogs for pets you can eat. Chickens, for example. Or rabbits. You can find their outstanding advice is in their new book calledTime to Eat the Dog: The real guide to sustainable living. If we were smart, we’d get ahead of the trend and do a cookbook.
6. A new kind of green movement
An Iowa company called Wallypop introduced reusable cloth toilet wipes. We predict that their main competitor will be Sheryl Crow fans who believe in using just one square per…uhhh…session.
5. The sky’s the limit
According to the Daily Mail UK, “A Japanese airline has started asking passengers to go to the toilet before boarding in a bid to reduce carbon emissions. All Nippon Airways claims that empty bladders mean lighter passengers, a lighter aircraft and thus lower fuel use.” In other words, take a pee before you take off.
4. Rent your clothes. Seriously.
The geniuses at Britain’s Waste & Resources Action Program have come out against closets full of rarely worn clothes. It’s environmentally unacceptable, you should start renting your clothes instead of buying them. Yeah, but what happens if you don’t return your rented clothes. Do you get an eviction notice?
3. Kill Bill. And everyone else.
A group of Sydney academics published a paper that said, “This paper sets out, as a thought experiment, the possibility of humanity’s willing extinction as a solution to a growing ecological problem.” Please, be our guest Mr. Gore.
2. Better living through better batter
Brits Simon and Damiana Hare reveal that they’ll go through Britain’s predicted bitterly cold winter without heating their cottage. But if it gets too cold for their infant daughter, they say, “We can heat the house by making a second batch of pancakes.” Mmmmm. Ecological and delicious!

Painful though it may be, please watch all the way to the end so you don’t miss Smith’s gushing overe the global warming fraud:
Smith: Wow. I’m so glad you read that. I was, really, I’m very happy…
Gore: Thanks for asking me.
Smith: I’m happy to hear it in your voice.
Gore: Well, thank you.
C’mon, Harry, that poem would get a “C” in a junior college English class. (Which, of course, would be better than any grade Gore ever got in college).
Can you imagine how quickly Smith would have laughed at this poem if Sarah Palin had written it?
Quite honestly, though, we’re not surprised that Smith prefers Gore. The former vice president is twice the woman Palin will ever be.

We decided to test Matthews’ unusual theory by comparing Palin’s autograph to President Obama’s. Since Matthews would undoubtedly say that Palin is far less intelligent than Obama, that difference should be clearly demonstrated in the “cipherability” of their signatures. Is it?
Just as you can see Russia from Alaska, you can see Chris Matthews’ envy from across the street. As NewsBusters.org reports the story:
“She’s got to be smarter than this,” argued Matthews despite complaining moments later about how the former governor gives autographs: “She doesn’t write the book, and then she scribbles some indecipherable sign on the book as a signature.”
Is Matthews really contending that clarity of signature correlates to intelligence?
We decided to test Matthews’ unusual theory by comparing Palin’s autograph to President Obama’s. Since Matthews would undoubtedly say that Palin is far less intelligent than Obama, that difference should be clearly demonstrated in the “cipherability” of their signatures. Is it?
Hmmmm. Debatable as to which one has the more legible signature and therefore, according to Matthews, the greater intelligence. But our money’s on Palin. So just for good measure, we decided to compare their hurriedly scrawled initials, too.
We’d have to say it’s another toss-up. And therefore, either Palin is just as intelligent as Obama or Matthews is full of something that smells very, very bad.
But there’s one more signature that needs to be throw into this mix just for comparison purposes – that of Chris Matthews himself. Surely, after his comments about Palin’s signature, that of the MSNBC host must be a masterpiece of legibility. Or maybe not.
How’s that clarity equals intelligence theory working for you now, Chris?
There are many examples of Palin’s and Obama’s autograph available on the internet, but we could find just one example of the MSNBC host’s autograph. And that leads us to the inescapable conclusion that Matthews’ real complaint is that thousands of people line up to get Palin’s autograph, but no one ever asks for his.
Envy is such an ugly thing, Chris.

CEOs and Hollywood stars got their comeuppance last weekend at the annual Kennedy Center Honors. Much to their chagrin, they discovered that George Bush was much warmer and more hospitable than Barack Obama.
Comeuppance. Yeah, that’s the word we’ve been trying to think of.
CEOs and Hollywood stars got their comeuppance last weekend at the annual Kennedy Center Honors. Much to their chagrin, they discovered that George Bush was much warmer and more hospitable than Barack Obama.
Here’s how Variety, show so-called show biz bible, explains the comeuppance:
The show itself honoring Bruce Springsteen, Robert De Niro and Mel Brooks, among others, was a resounding hit, but the White House seemed to be still traumatized by the incursions of the social-climbing, state dinner-crashing Salahis.
While President Bush in past years shook every celebrity hand and posed for photos with visitors at the White House reception, the Obamas remained aloof, fleeing to their box at the Kennedy Center.
Stunned by recent security breaches, the White House kept guests shivering outside in 30-degree weather, opening the reception 10 minutes late and shuttling guests through 25 minutes of repeated screenings and pat-downs, all of which took place outside.
Several stars grumbled; one suggested to a social secretary that the Obama staff study the Academy Awards for lessons in celebrity management.
The story reaches a sad Hollywood dénouement:
White House staffers maintained a stony distance during this weekend’s events. Rahm Emanuel, the chief of staff, sat with his wife for 20 minutes before Obama’s brief presentation Sunday, and hardly anyone approached him with a greeting, nor did he circulate.
“I never thought I’d miss the Bushes,” said one prominent Hollywood actor, “but this place seemed a lot warmer when they were here.”
It was probably just global warming, but don’t you worry, Hollywood. Barack Obama is over there in Hopenchangen fixing that little problem, too.

But maybe she’s right. To be fair, she didn’t say there were no socialists on the list.

In a case of remarkably bad timing, the cover story on this month’s Golf Digest is “10 Tips Obama Can Take From Tiger.”
Turns out, though, that Tiger actually had 20 tips for the President, but space constraints forced Golf Digest to print just ten of them.
Luckily, the Woodward & Bernstein-like investigative reporters at IHateTheMedia.com have uncovered the tips that didn’t make the cut:
10. If you’ve played the wrong hole, just take the penalty and move on.
9. Never let a stranger touch your putter.
8. Never switch holes in the middle of a round.
7. If it’s out-of-bounds, even if it looks like you could hit it, it’s out-of-bounds.
6. Remember that playing the wrong hole is loss of hole in match play.
5. A stiff shaft and a big head are no guarantee your balls will go straight.
4. In fact, the bigger the head, the greater the odds your balls will go astray.
3. The grass is always greener over there on that other course you’ve always wanted to play.
2. Trading your old bag for a new bag can really mess up your game.

A clearly perturbed Gibbs finally said “Just take a deep breath” and compared her to his children. It was over the top even for Gibbs – so condescending that the rest of the assembled press corp to let loose with an audible “Ooooh.”
Gibbs then threatened to send her to bed without dinner and cut off her allowance.

Decisions, decisions, decisions. Should you pay $899 for this limited edition Barack Obama bronze bust or $19.95 for this Chia Pet Barack Obama bust?
Decisions, decisions, decisions. Should you pay $899 for this limited edition Barack Obama bronze bust or $19.95 for this Chia Pet Barack Obama bust?
We realize this is a very difficult decision. So as a public service, IHateTheMedia.com offers this information to help you make your choice:
The one-of-a-kind Obama bust sits atop a hand-carved platform made by artisans of Kogelo, Kenya, the home village of President Obama’s alcoholic, abusive father. You can choose between two poses – Candidate Obama, so full of hope and change, or President Obama, beaming proudly in his full socialist glory. Please be aware that all proceeds go to a Kenyan charity. Total cost: $899.00.
The Chia Pet Obama bust is made of clay (much like the actual Obama’s feet). It comes with a convenient drip tray, handmade planter, enough seeds for three plantings, plus planting and care instructions. And if Barack Obama isn’t your cup of tea, you can also choose from other presidents who are actually known to love their country (George Washington and Abe Lincoln) or the Statue of Liberty. Total cost $19.95 plus shipping.
This is an easy choice for us. Give us the chia pet Obama. Because The Greatest President in History deserves to be seen in his full, green glory.
We can’t think of anything we’d rather see under our tree this Christmas this year.

Well, those days are now long gone and forgotten.
The Most Glamorous First Lady in History just placed an order for two outrageously expensive pairs of custom-made, high fashion boots — one pair of flat black boots and another pair of calf-length boots in beige buckskin — from French designer Robert Clergerie.
The First Lady must be getting ready for another appearance at a charity food bank and the $540 pair of Lanvin tennis shoes she wore last year are undoubtedly completely worn out by now.
Of course, outrageously expensive clothing was not part of her image during the presidential campaign. Back then, the media helped created the fiction that she regularly sported affordable sweaters carefully selected at J. Crew and reasonably-priced Anne Klein dresses purchased with pennies scrimped and saved from her meager household budget.
The price of Empress Michelle’s new shoes hasn’t been revealed. But we are willing to guarantee that it’s more than you paid for your last pair of shoes. Maybe even more than your last house payment.

Team Obama comes from an insulated world of professorial tenure and union job security. They’ve never hired anyone. They’ve never fired anyone. They’ve never had to deal with profits and losses. They’ve never had to lose a minute’s sleep worrying about paying the rent or making payroll.
No wonder the economy is such a mess. President Obama has put together a team of Ivy League eggheads with no experience in the real world.
Here’s how the American Enterprise Institute explains it:
A friend sends along the following chart from a J.P. Morgan research report. It examines the prior private sector experience of the cabinet officials since 1900 that one might expect a president to turn to in seeking advice about helping the economy. It includes secretaries of State, Commerce, Treasury, Agriculture, Interior, Labor, Transportation, Energy, and Housing & Urban Development, and excludes Postmaster General, Navy, War, Health, Education & Welfare, Veterans Affairs, and Homeland Security—432 cabinet members in all.
When one considers that public sector employment has ranged since the 1950s at between 15 percent and 19 percent of the population, the makeup of the current cabinet—over 90 percent of its prior experience was in the public sector—is remarkable.
And here’s how Jimi Hendrix explains it:
It’s frightening. Truly frightening. Team Obama comes from an insulated world of professorial tenure and union job security. They’ve never hired anyone. They’ve never fired anyone. They’ve never had to deal with profits and losses. They’ve never had to lose a minute’s sleep worrying about paying the rent or making payroll.
And it shows.

Goldberg: Well, I would have called it African American Friday, but that’s taking something away from it.
Behar: But there’s a negative connotation to it? Or does it mean something else?
Goldberg: No, it’s like when you make all the money – you’re in the black.
Behar: So it’s positive?
Goldberg: Yeah. It’s in the black, so it’s a huge great thing.
Behar: A lot of times, like blackmail is negative, black sheep.

D’Attoma: Now, on to Sarah Palin, why do you think she’s so polarizing to so many people?
Stewart: She’s a very boring to me. Very boring, and a very, to me, kind of a, a dangerous person. I mean, to, she’s dangerous.
D’Attoma: In what way?
Stewart: She speaks, she’s, she’s so confused. And anyone like that in government is a real problem.
D’Attoma: Meanwhile, they’re saying her book is already a bestseller. Do you find it…
Stewart: Good for her. Good for her.
D’Attoma: Have you been able to catch Sarah Palin’s interviews?
Stewart: Why’s everybody asking that? I wouldn’t, I wouldn’t watch her if you paid me.
Last time we checked out the legs of Martha Stewart and Sarah Palin, only one of them was wearing an electronic ankle bracelet. It wasn’t Palin.
And that’s a good thing.
