Times' Eric Lipton reports the Nevada Republican was going to have to give sworn testimony about his sex scandal to the Senate Ethics Committee on May 4. His ...
Fake Outrage of the Morning: Obama is Responsible for High Gas Prices - Right wingers feel it's their God-given right to waste as much energy as they possibly can, just for the sheer hell of it. But if the price goes up as the supply goes down, or if uncertainty about supply drives prices up, they scream bloody murder and blame it on ...

America's Dumbest Muslim-Hater Nearly Shoots Off Own Foot - Everyone's favorite Muslim-hating psycho "pastor," Terry "I'll Burn Me Some Korans" Jones, is in Dearborn, Michigan, today, to demonstrate against a mosque (of course) and presumably stir up some more violence and death overseas. Last night after doing an interview at a Southfield TV studio (because the media love this Neanderthal), ...
Franklin Graham on Donald Trump: 'Maybe This Guy's Right' - Franklin Graham, who's notorious for his anti-Muslim bigotry (recently he said that Barack Obama was tainted by "the seed of Islam"), told Christiane Amanpour today that Donald Trump might be his candidate of choice.

Sen. Jon Kyl Erases His Planned Parenthood Lie from the Congressional Record - Remember Jon Kyl's ridiculous lie, stated on the floor of the US Senate during the Republican push to destroy Planned Parenthood, that abortions are "well over 90 percent of what Planned Parenthood does?" (The real number is three percent.) And when it was pointed out that Kyl simply lied, remember ...
American Family Association's Bryan Fischer: Liberals 'Haven't Taken to Killing People' Yet - Bryan Fischer, the religious right fanatic who's connected to many top GOP politicians (Michele Bachmann, Mike Huckabee, Tim Pawlenty, Haley Barbour, and Newt Gingrich have all appeared on his webcast), came out with a masterpiece of incoherent projection yesterday. Fischer says "liberals" hate freedom of speech, America, and God, and the ...

'Family Values' Hypocrite John Ensign Resigns - Nevada Republican Senator John Ensign announced today that he's resigning, putting an end to the career of one of the sleaziest, most despicable GOP hypocrites to ever hold office, a man who built his political capital by preaching "family values" and "defending traditional marriage."

Brunswick County Commissioner: 'Evolution is a Lie' - Across the country, Republicans in state and local governments are pushing hard to destroy environmental protections, destroy women's rights, prevent gays from having rights, destroy unions, destroy child labor laws, etc. etc. etc. There's a parade of right wing atavism going on, the likes of which I've never seen. And as ...
Texas Gov. Perry Deals With Drought By Declaring Days of Prayer for Rain - Texas Governor Rick Perry is taking highly effective action against the drought that is ravaging Texas: he's issued a proclamation for three days of prayer for rain. But of course, everyone knows rain incantations can't possibly work without also slaughtering a goat while performing a ritual dance.
Obama: 'There Are Climate Change Deniers in Congress' - President Obama kicked the right wing hornet's nest again today, with a long overdue jab at 'climate change deniers'. "There are climate change deniers in Congress and when the economy gets tough, sometimes environmental issues drop from people's radar screens," Obama continued, speaking at the home of Salesforce.com CEO Marc ...
'Big Government' Goes Full On Birther - Yesterday, Andrew Breitbart signed on to the world's dumbest conspiracy theory, that Barack Obama's autobiography was secretly written by Bill Ayers.

Video: Andrew Breitbart Believes Bill Ayers Wrote Obama's Autobiography - In Andrew Breitbart's extremely hostile and combative interview with Martin Bashir, the most newsworthy moment is when Breitbart reveals that he actually believes in the world's stupidest right wing conspiracy theory -- that President Obama's first book was secretly written by former Weather Underground leader Bill Ayers. And amazingly, Breitbart even ...
Poll: Americans Overwhelmingly Oppose Cutting Medicare and Medicaid - The new Washington Post-ABC News national poll completely confirms the McClatchy-Marist poll we featured yesterday: Americans are overwhelmingly opposed to cutting Medicare and Medicaid, and overwhelmingly in favor of raising tax rates on the wealthiest.

Jim 'Dim' Hoft: 'We're All Birthers Now' - World Net Daily lunatic Jerome Corsi has appeared twice on the vile white supremacist radio show "Political Cesspool," which explains why he continues to promote the right wing's Birther conspiracy theory; he's an unreconstructed racist himself.

Poll: Republicans Suddenly Realize Their Medicare is Getting Cut Too - Interesting results in this new national McClatchy-Marist poll; apparently the Republican base isn't so hot on cutting Medicare and Medicaid after all. And a very sizeable percentage of Republicans also likes the idea of the wealthy paying higher taxes. On tackling the deficit, voters by a margin of 2-to-1 support raising ...
Poll: 48% of Iowa Republicans Are Birthers - The latest survey from Public Policy Polling shows that nearly half of the Republican voters in Iowa are Birthers -- and another 26% "aren't sure" whether President Obama was born in the US.

Boehner is Spending Public Money at $520/Hour to Defend Anti-Gay DOMA - To prop up the religious right's homophobic "Defense of Marriage Act," House Speaker John Boehner has retained one of the most expensive law firms in the country: REVEALED: Boehner’s High-Priced Lawyer Is Charging the American Taxpayer $520 Per Hour. This is the Republican idea of fiscal responsibility. No amount of money ...
Shocka! AZ Gov. Brewer Vetoes Crazy Birther Law - Here's a political twist I didn't expect, as right wing Governor Jan Brewer vetoes the insane 'birther' bill passed by Arizona's nativist Republicans. Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer on Monday vetoed a bill to require President Barack Obama and other presidential candidates to prove their U.S. citizenship before their names can ...

Video: Angle Does Greenwood - Well, if I was feeling masochistic this morning, I've turned sadistic by the afternoon. Because only a deranged sadist would inflict something this heinous upon his audience: Tea Party kook Sharron Angle singing along with Lee Greenwood (at what looks like another very small rally).
