Gwaring Rogue

This could very well be the greatest thing ever.

And no, before anyone starts accusing me of hypocrisy when it comes to my constant drumbeat against irresponsible and dangerous rhetoric, of course I don't want to see the real Sarah Palin disemboweled and cut in half and neither should anyone else (not to mention the fact that Gwar has done this sort of thing with effigies of dozens of politicians and celebrities by this point).

But between this and Joe Scarborough's figurative evisceration of her in today's Politico, her little fingers are going to be worn out from Tweeting and Facebooking phony outrage so hard tonight.

Quote of the Day

"Screw 'em."

-- Joe Scarborough on the GOP if it doesn't like the fact that he's defending the proposed Islamic community center near Ground Zero

I give Scarborough a lot of credit because, if nothing else, he's a bit of a conundrum: a guy who can occasionally spout the most outrageously inflammatory right wing rhetoric, then turn around and stand very firmly against his party's conventional wisdom (or lack thereof). Whether he does it to showboat and rack up at least a minor amount of independent street cred, it works. He's not always easy to pin down, and these days that's the best you can ask for from anyone generally considered a partisan.

Fuck It, We'll Do It Live!

This morning, Joe Scarborough said to America what America has wanted to say to Joe Scarborough for years.
