Earlier this week brought the news that Paula Deen isn’t quite as nice as she lets on. [Anthony Bourdain tried to warn us!] In a lawsuit, it alleges that her brother Bubba—-yep, his name really is Bubba—-sexually harassed waitresses at one of their restaurants, and Paula made several racist comments. Harassment, making women uncomfortable, racism, and a hostile work environment for the people at the bottom…wow, Paula must really be a Republican.
Last week I reported that “43 year old Andrew Breitbart is dead from ‘natural causes’ or as they’re called for non-famous people ‘years of drug abuse.’ Breitbart is of course best known for heralded journalism like exposing Anthony Weiner’s penis. Now I can finally send picture of my dick to Pelosi!” This caused some heat on Twitter where Breitbart’s followers believe Obama killed him—-because, you know, Obama is behind everything awful from Hurricane Katrina to stealing the Lindbergh baby—-but you know what? Fuck ’em. If people are really looney and paranoid enough to believe that Obama killed a third string blogger (I’m currently fifth string if you were wondering) when there are literally a thousand conservatives more important than him, then they probably aren’t coming to this site anyway.
Joe the Plumber won the Republican primary for an Ohio congressional seat on Tuesday. How is this bad news for conservatives? Because the dude is best known as “Joe the Plumber” even though he’s not a plumber and his real name is Samuel [Complex Polish name]. In other words, a novelty candidate that will get his stupid shaved head handed to him in November.
More bad news for Republicans: Sarah Palin won’t “rule out” her name being “called to lead” if the nomination goes all the way to the convention floor. For those that don’t know, apparently if no one has all the delegates it takes by the time the race is over with, the nomination goes to the convention floor, and someone who has NOT been running could be the nominee, such as Chris Christie or (gulp) Sarah Palin. Of course, the likelihood of that happening is approximately hahahahaha %
Asshole of the Week: You guessed it, Rush Limbaugh. It’s no surprise that I hate this guy, and perhaps a little surprising that I can actually do a pretty good impersonation of him (I just picture a speech-giving Adolf Hitler if he let himself go). I really hope that this is finally the offensive thing he says that undoes him after a career of saying offensive things, and that this leads to some accountability of the rightwing. What he said was a completely uncalled for, left-field attack on a woman who was just giving professional testimony to congress, and it feels like what Rush really has a problem with is a woman talking about WOMEN’S issues. The fact that none of the out of touch geezers running for the GOP nomination will call him out, shows how much that party cares about women who aren’t named Bachmann or Palin or Jan Brewer.
