Fake Republican John McCain Refuses To Be Transvestite On TeeVee

Senor Frog To appeal to the 45-year-old bitter people who enjoy the 34-year-old Saturday Night Live teevee program because they are too old/poor to actually do anything on Saturday night, 71-year-old John McCain will make a very brief appearance on SNL at exactly 11:35 p.m. tomorrow. Apparently the show's producers wanted to put McCain in a dress and beat the shit out of him for 15 minutes, which is the usual level of comedy on SNL, but the "maverick" said no. More »

McCAIN HEARTS HAMAS: John McCain is such a senile psychopath Maverick that he was all set to negotiate with Hamas just two years ago, but it's very bad for Barack Obama to talk about such things this year, because ... uh, Jeremiah Wright? [ABC News]

'I'll Take A Question From The Polar Bears'

Interior Secretary Dirk Kempthorne announced on Wednesday that the Polar Bear would be put on the Threatened Species list, because all the ice has melted and that's where the Polar Bear lives, on a piece of ice. Also, these comical Polar Bears actually attended Kempthorne's press conference in Washington. See, they really have no place to go now! [AP Photo]

Dina McGreevey Needs Gay Governor Lifestyle -- Especially The Helicopter

AP080515033589.jpg Dina Matos McGreevey is still divorcing ex-New Jersey governor Jim McGreevey, because he is a Gay American and she doesn't like that, even though she reportedly liked getting fucked by Jim's sexy staffer Teddy Pedersen, while Jim watched and worked up the enthusiasm to fuck Dina with his own penis, after they all enjoyed sexy dinners at (really) T.G.I. Friday's, in New Jersey. Anyway, Dina still denies the swinging TGIF stuff, and she wants Jim to give her enough money for a helicopter and three houses. More »

By the Comics Curmudgeon
Let's cut the chase: America's political cartoonists are engaged in a vast, ink-stained conspiracy to hollow out our souls and leave us gibbering husks. Why do they hate us, and, by extension, hate freedom? This is not something that mere mortals can answer. What Lovecraftian horrors have they visited upon us this week? That's much easier to determine: just check out the worst, after the jump. More »

Peggy Noonan Hates Republicans, Hearts Obama

Peggy's World! Even more bad news for Republicans and John McCain today, courtesy of Reagan Revolutionary Peggy Noonan: Everybody loves Obama and hates the GOP, the end. Ha, not really.

Let's see what kind of weird new words and phrases Peggy makes up this week, after the jump. More »

Barack Obama's Wild College Days!

And then he beat up a bum, the end. Back when he was a young pup, Barack Obama went to college. Some of his former classmates remember he was a supernice guy who stood up to menacing bums; others say he was aloof; and still others ask, "Barry who?" Such was the wonderful enigmatic palimpsest of Barack Obama back in the days when he wore "$5 military-surplus khakis and used leather jackets" and roomed with some guy who later became a loser due to his cocaine addiction.

Biggest Moron On Earth Makes For Delicious 'Hardball' Comedy


We have seen some "chatter" about the second-straight brilliant episode of Hardball today, and hot damn, this is some seven-diamond comedy here. Matthews is interviewing Republican radio host "Kevin James," who screams in some white-trash voice about Obama being an appeaser for a couple minutes, before — around 4:00 into the clip — Matthews annihilates him, calls him "pathetic," says "you don't know anything," and does this for several minutes. Nice work. Do it again tomorrow! [MSNBC]

John McCain Does Not Know Anything About Life

Here's how our boy WALNUTS! (yes, we called him "boy" so we are racist) explained to his loving reporters why Obama is a fairy: "I believe that it's not an accident that our hostages came home from Iran when President Reagan was president of the United States. He didn't sit down in a negotiation with the religious extremists in Iran, he made it very clear that those hostages were coming home." Well, that's the Misspeaking of the century. Reagan officials "made it very clear" by covertly selling Iran weapons, which perhaps may not be "sitting down" but was effective in its own way. [The Caucus]
