Olbermann Spits Nails Over Obama's Phantom Entitlement Cuts

Nice to see that Olbermann hasn't lost his touch over at Current TV. He's still as unintentionally hilarious as ever.

This time, his panties are in a bunch because Obama is feigning raising the Medicare eligibility age from 65 to 67, phased in over the next 500 years or whatever. Which I guess is tantamount to feeding old people "dog food" or something. Poor sap doesn't even recognize a hollow political gesture when he sees it, designed to make Obama look as if he's "bending over backwards" to compromise with Republicans.

Instead, Olbermann takes Obama at face value and unloads. See if you can get through this without busting a gut. I know I couldn't.

Michael Bloomberg: 50 Years From Now the Earth Might Be "Uninhabitable"

Scary stuff.

But don't panic! All you need to do is cough up more taxes to science experts like Michael Bloomberg, and the global warming apocalypse can be averted.

Sorry, I meant to say 'climate change apocalypse'.

Whatever - just give Bloomberg your money and nobody will get hurt.

MICHAEL BLOOMBERG: If you ask the public ‘is there global warming,’ is in ’50 years the earth going to be dramatically different or perhaps uninhabitable,‘ their eyes roll. Nobody can think 50 years in advance.

MICHAEL BLOOMBERG: Your job is not to ask the public where they want to go and get behind them. Your job is to tell the public and convince the public where they should go, and lead from the front.

The Mayors of these cities are not asking the public whether they are willing to spend to live healthier lives and live longer. They are there to explain to the public that if they don’t spend that money they’re not going to live as long and not going to be as healthy. And then convince them to come along, reach into their pockets, pay their taxes, change their policies.

Gee, it's too bad Bloomberg isn't running for President. I can just picture the bumper sticker:

Bloomberg 2012: Reach Into Your Pockets, Pay Your Taxes, Obey My Commands

He'd be a shoo-in!

Biden Wets His Pants, Outs the SEALs

Who needs Wikileaks when we have Joe Biden?

Just imagine if this this blabbermouth ever got a hold of the nuclear football.

Since President Barack Obama announced that “a small team of Americans” had killed Osama bin Laden, US government officials have carefully stuck to the line that they will not talk about which units were involved.

Obama did not say it was the SEALs. In numerous television appearances, Obama’s counter-terrorism chief John Brennan didn’t and his deputy national security adviser Denis McDonough didn’t. Despite the numerous news reports that named the SEALs, none of the anonymous briefers from the CIA and Pentagon would confirm it.

*****

But here’s what the legendarily verbose and loose-lipped Vice President Joe Biden said at a dinner at Washington’s Ritz Carlton Hotel last night to mark the 50th anniversary of the Atlantic Council:

Let me briefly acknowledge tonight’s distinguished honorees. Admiral James Stavridis is a, is the real deal. He can tell you more about and understands the incredible, the phenomenal, the just almost unbelievable capacity of his Navy SEALs and what they did last Sunday.

And:

Folks, I’d be remiss also if I didn’t say an extra word about the incredible events, extraordinary events of this past Sunday. As Vice President of the United States, as an American, I was in absolute awe of the capacity and dedication of the entire team, both the intelligence community, the CIA, the SEALs. It just was extraordinary.

Twitter Sub-Moron Keith Olbermann Scrapes Bottom (Again), Suggests S.E. Cupp Should Have Been Aborted

Looks like someone roused the former MSNBC ratings albatross Keith Olbermann from his Manhattan hot tub to inform him that S.E. Cupp opposes public funding for abortion and Planned Parenthood (but I repeat myself).

To which the witless doofus replied.


He then tried to play dumb - and so convincingly, I must say I believe the man to be a true imbecile. He pointed out that only 3% of what Planned Parenthood does is perform abortions. Which is bullcrap, of course, but let's play along for a minute. You see, what he meant (of course) was "her parents would have helped the earth had they consulted PP for birth control."

Mmm hmm.

Birth control? Planned Parenthood's idea of birth control is Abort! Abort! Abort! and then letting clients take home a free condom from the lollypop bowl at the front desk:


As if Olbermann didn't know exactly what he was saying.

What a lowlife.

Noted Constitutional Stickler Patrick Leahy: We Must Maintain Obama's Pay Grade During Government Shutdown

Among the most frequently asked questions regarding a potential federal government shutdown are:

Will Grandma still receive her Social Security check?
Will the military and law enforcement still function as usual?
Will Dear Leader's six-figure salary be impacted in the slightest?

The answers are yes, yes, and "Chillax, America."

Sen. Patrick Leahy (D-Vt.) also scolded Boxer at the time for presenting an amendment that he said was unconstitutional.

Leahy pointed out that the Constitution explicitly states that the president’s salary “shall neither be increased nor diminished during the period for which he shall have been elected.”

“The Constitution specifically prohibits that,” Leahy told Boxer.

Strange how the same kooky left-wing windbag who didn't give a rip about the Constitution while Obamacare was being shoved down our throats is suddenly anal retentive about touching Obama's salary.

Ed Schultz: So Nutty, Dennis Kucinich Seems Utterly Rational By Comparison

Well, nobody ever accused Ed Schultz of having a sense of irony.

One of MSNBC's dumbest bricks, Schultz decided today that a good way to tee up a discussion on "toning down the rhetoric" would be to unload yet another one of his patented, unhinged screeds on the GOP:

"John Boehner has to deal with all of this tea party rhetoric in his caucus, and has no interest in trying to work with the President. Sarah Palin, and the Tan Man, and the rest of the Republicans have no interest in rising to the President's challenge on tone and accepting the plea to change it all. They already have a post-Tucson mentality."

Pause. He means 'pre-Tucson mentality'. He is accusing conservatives of having a 'pre-Tucson mentality'.

Sigh.

He continues...

"They don't care about stripping 32 million Americans from getting their healthcare. They don't give a damn about kids with pre-existing conditions. And they want every American armed and dangerous. Pretty clear - this is all about putting Democrats on the defensive, and filling their campaign coffers for 2012."

How's that for a compelling rhetorical fig leaf? Schultz even threw in that embarrassingly out-of-context Michelle Bachmann quote - which was a nice touch, I thought.

But Kucinich wasn't buying it. Now watch as his pleasantly surprising response leaves Schultz flapping in the breeze.

Separated at Birth: Robert Gibbs, Beaker, and World's Daffiest Political Adviser*

*Actually, that's the same guy.


In the end, Gibbs ended up lasting roughly 22 months longer as Obama's Press Secretary than I thought he would.

How the tool managed to do that I'll never know.

Here's to his continued "success" advising Obama.

Olbermann Pretty Hosed About Not Being Forced Into a Higher Tax Bracket

Anyone else detect a faint whiff of straight-up raaacism in this rant?

Maybe it's just me.

Anyway, somebody might want to let Olberdoofus know that the IRS gladly accepts donations. Maybe that will cheer him up.

Grayson: Think of All the Ditch-Diggers and Ditch-Fillers Big Government Could Employ if We Jacked Up Taxes on the Grey Poupon Crowd

Didn't the good people of FL-8 run this loathesome blowhard out of town on a rail earlier this month, by nearly 20 points?

Geez, just beat it already dude.



For the record: There are no 'Obama tax cuts for the middle class' on the table in Congress. None. That's because neither President Obama nor the Democrats are proposing tax cuts for the middle class, or any other class for that matter. The debate, such as it is, is between maintaining the status quo for all taxpayers (what Grayson ignorantly derides as the 'Bush tax cuts for the rich') and either jacking up taxes on everyone (what Obama really wants) or jacking them up only on the 'rich' (what Obama will reluctantly settle for).

It's heads, they win - tails, nobody gets a tax cut.

And soon we'll all be 'rich', with statist creeps like Alan Grayson nosing through our beeswax to see if we've made any frivolous purchases lately.

Your Tax Dollars At Work

I've had the pleasure of reading many asinine newspaper articles.

This one takes the cake.

Heat advisory issued for eastern deserts in county
The National Weather Service has issued a heat advisory in the eastern deserts of Riverside County as well as in Imperial County.

The advisory begins at 10 a.m. and is expected to last until 8 p.m. today.

Areas included in the advisory are Salton Sea, Blythe, Desert Center, El Centro and Calexico.

Highs are expected to reach up to 112 in cities like Blythe and Parker.

Residents are advised to stay indoors in air conditioned or well-ventilated places.

This advisory was issued by an idiot in Phoenix.

I live in the region covered by the village idiot's alert and 112 degrees is considered normal for this time of year.

Makes me wonder if Meyers is one of The Goracle's scientists?

Damnable Asshat.
