Replace “Limbaugh” with “Akin.” I don’t have the motivation any longer.

Serious question: has Akin given a follow-up explanation of what he was trying to convey with the word “legitimate”?
That is, before I agree to pile on along with all the Right Thinking People — who, time and time and time again, it seems to me, can’t climb over each other fast enough to express OUTRAGE and then distance themselves from something potentially / ostensibly controversial (or, to hear them tell it, far beyond the pale) uttered by a fellow rightleaner, thereby proving themselves not one of those kinds

Facepalm rant of the Day? [Darleen Click]
Ok, it’s still early and some other spittle-frothing Progressive (but I repeat myself) may top this, but you gotta hand it to The Nation’s Dave Zirin for the sheer hatey-hate that is the hallmark of the Left. Here’s his reason why Condi Rice being invited to join Augusta is so horribly wrong: Rice and Moore are not twenty-first-century Jackie Robinsons, and their acceptance into this bastion of exclusion has nothing

Which name do you immediately recognize? Todd Akin or Kerry Gauthier? [Darleen Click]
Todd Akin, of course, is the brain-damaged Republican candidate (the non-TEA Party primary candidate that Democrats spent $1.5 million to help win) who put his foot in his mouth. Kerry Gauthier is (and you’d never know it if you only read the headlines) the Democratic Minnesota State Legislator caught with something else in his mouth. Democratic leaders in Minnesota are demanding a state lawmaker withdraw from his re-election bid after

“EXPOSED: Obama lied about his campaign not accusing Romney of being a felon”
Of course, it’s only a lie if people know it’s a lie. Perception being reality, and reality being a function of man-made consensus. Or at least, so goes the anti-foundationalist postmodern thinking so relied upon by the progressive left and their media lapdogs. — And of course the Nazis and the Stalinists and the Maoists and the Latin communists — but that’s just coincidental. Probably shouldn’t have even brought it

Obama presser, condensed, paraphrased, distilled to its essential truthiness:
“Most everything we’ve done has worked. Which isn’t to say we don’t need more time to make it work even harder — with less golfing and vacationing and fewer non-existent shovel ready jobs this time around, perhaps (oopsie!). The truth is, I’ve created jobs. Healed a beleaguered earth’s coal-mined gashes. Healed the sea beds after their serial rape by thousands of giant rock-hard drill bits. “Incidentally, I love capitalism, love

“Supporting the 2nd Amendment is a Mental Disorder Say Connected Physicians”
And if you disagree vehemently, you’ll soon find that supporting the 1st Amendment in defense of mental disorders is itself a mental disorder. QED. Gulag Bound: Dr. Stephen Hargarten of the Research Center at the Medical College of Wisconsin claims : “What I’m struggling with is: Is this the new social norm? This is what we’re going to have to live with if we have more personal access to firearms.

“Egypt to send aircraft and tanks into Sinai – sources” [update]
The Arab Spring is about to turn into the Islamist Summer. No worries, though. Bibi Netanyahu and the rest of the Jews can always leave through the service entrance, should things get really hairy. A crafty, devious people, they’ll find a way to get by. (thanks to JHo) **** update: Shit, I must have misread the article, going through it quickly. Ignore my snark, if this is being done with

“Alert the SPLC: The Boston Red Sox Are A Hate Group”
I grew up in Baltimore as an Orioles fan. And I can say unequivocally that this is really not a revelation. I mean, Carlton Fisk? Butch Hobson? Wade Boggs? With names like that, how can you not have a locker-full of pointy hoods, a heart filled with racial animus, and a burning suspicion that your white wives want desperately to have George Scott inside them? And don’t give me any

Great moments in unmasking, #213
“Former union boss at Occupy event: Our goal is to ‘overthrow the capitalist system and build communism’ “ Violence? Justified. Revolution? Why, naturally! Inspiration? The Soviet Union, China, Little Red Books, Cuba, and so forth. Peering through my Visigothy filter, I see dangerous malcontents who represent the ideological base of the “progressive” movement — itself the base of modern New Left Democrat party, who has grown adept at camouflaging its
