Because I swear to fuck it’s Armageddon. I mean, we’ve got Helene Cooper blathering senselessly in the New York Times, comparing Obama to Bush, trying to claim Obama’s knocking down straw men, and offering this as her proof: “There are those who say these plans are too ambitious, that we should be trying to do …

Olbermann to Hannity: “You Are Now Unnecessary”
Keith Olbermann has pronounced Sean Hannity a superfluous piece of shit: Last night on Countdown, Olbermann announced that he was rescinding the offer to Hannity, and instead giving $10,000 to charity following radio host Erich “Mancow” Muller’s waterboarding attempt. Olbermann promised to donate to the charity Veterans of Valor, founded by Sgt. Klay South, who …

Frank PWNS Beck
Poor Glenn Beck. He’s had an awful week. First, the ladies on the View spanked his ass, which led to a bad case of the View Flu (which he tried to pass off, and I’m not kidding, as “the 24-hour swine flu”). Now he’s having another health crisis, because his little roving producer Griff Jenkins …

Torture Apologists on Parade: Flying Cow Edition
Unlike Sean Hannity, Mancow isn’t afraid to put his water where his mouth is. Alas, as he discovered, empirical evidence trumps ideology: On his radio show this morning, “conservative libertarian” talker Eric “Mancow” Muller set out to prove that waterboarding isn’t torture by having himself waterboarded. But instead, after enduring “6 or 7 seconds” of …

The Sincerest Form of Flattery
Sometimes, little events have unexpected consequences. MoDo plagiarizes TPM blogger extraordinaire Josh Marshall, which leads to a lame-ass excuse from her, which leads Digby down memory lane (who was it who accused Joe Biden of plagiarism, eh?). Glenn Greenwald asks, “Who’s the parasite now, bitches?” and TPM blogger Boyd Reed muses, “Hmm, wonder if I’ve …

Torture Apologists on Parade: Freudian Slip Edition
Most of you have probably already seen David Waldman’s masterful performance on CNN. If not, here ye go: You’ll notice a Center for American Progress representative spouting Con talking points there. Glenn Greenwald gave her a spanking: This is what she said: The American people right now are actually not interested in this sideshow and …

Glenn Beck’s Contribution to Global Warming
I hope scientific studies demonstrate Beck’s a source of global warming pollution. It would be fun to see him shut down as an environmental hazard: On his Fox News show today, comedian Glenn Beck interviewed Sen. John Barrasso (R-WY) to mock the danger of global warming. In what he billed as an “Inconvenient Segment,” Beck …

John Stossel Sez, “Endangered Species – It’s What’s For Dinner!”
John Stossel’s Plan to Save the Animals John “Deny Young’ns the Vote!” Stossel once again competes for the title of World’s Biggest Dumbshit: It’s been quite awhile since I’ve seen a right-wing meme as gobsmackingly stupid as the one John Stossel was promoting last week on Fox, notably on Glenn Beck’s Friday show. At ABC, …

The Stalker Becomes the Stalked
Isn’t it fun to see Bill O’s attack dog getting a hefty dose of his own medicine? Gawker has some questions for Jesse B. Watters, the Fox News producer that Bill O’Reilly likes to send out to ambush his enemies. So we’re outside his building in Long Island. Right now. (Hi, Jesse!) [snip] If you …

Bashing Bill
It’s Friday. It’s time to have some fun. And Bill O’Reilly’s just begging for a beating. I mean, check out what his producer’s been up to lately: It’s no secret that Fox News host Bill O’Reilly can’t stand MSNBC’s Keith Olbermann. In fact, when a caller into his radio show had the gall to mention …
