I hate to do this to POTUS the night before his big foreign policy debate...

But I was checking the top 100 podcasts for "News and Politics" on Stitcher Radio and...

With all due respect to Martha Radditz:

I wish SNL's Stefon had moderated the VP debate.

But enough about me, what does ANDREW SULLIVAN think of me?

He was good at it before, but it's only under the tutelage of Tina Brown that Sully has really excelled at the "LOOK AT ME BEING TOTALLY OUTRAGEOUS" attention whoring.

PS. I wish there was a better version of this online but I haven't found it. From "Guide for the Married Man." Very Mitt like, eh?

And ladies, he likes Big Bird and Coal. Say hello to Mitt! Romney!

I don't always post about Rush Limbaugh, but when I do...

...and he's talking in specific, measurable terms about US penises getting smaller, I just figure he oughtta know.

A Note on Neocons and "Anti-Semites"

Sweet Kosher Crackers Maureen Dowd and a certain blogger I sleep with have both been dragged through a "you're being an anti-Semite" stew just because they noticed that Romney has surrounded himself with Neocons from the George W. Bush administration.

 Listen up, Republican Party people, it's not our fault that so many of those same Neocons who worked for Bush and want back in the White House under Romney (and really, what the hell?) are Jews of a certain generation and political stripe. (OOH! She said stripe! That's obviously a holocaust prison camp uniform reference! She's an anti-Semite!)

Paul Wolfowicz's World Bank Scandal happened after he and his not-to-be-named ethnicity Neocon Club got us into a war that made him, the Vice President (Jewish? I don't think so), and many others rich. They did it for money and to please their own brand of theocracy. (Anti-Semite reference to Jews and money, oh my G-d!!!)

This Brandeis graduate (Affirmative Action, bitchez!) has faced greater sieges from stupid self-serving bullies who-just-so-happened-to-be-Jews than you could ever know. And if anyone attempts to deflect criticism of the worst foreign policy in the history of America --by calling any critic of that policy and the ASSHOLES who put it into practice-- an anti-Semite, a holocaust denier, a Nazi, an enemy of peace (yeah THAT one), in any way, I gotta big bag of kosher candy hearts for ya right here:



The first box is for you, John Bolton. And may God have mercy on your soul.

No, really @Wonkette, you suck at photoshop.

I was sick earlier today and unable to beat DG to the wailing wall of photoshop fail that is Wonkette's Liz Cheney as Dick Cheney or whatever:

from Wonkette, and really, WTF, duuudes.

Had I been well and able to sit up in bed, it would have been an in-house, intra-marriage Photoshop race. I would have won.

Or, maybe no fair because I didn't use the same original photos:

Below is an old gif, currently @willatwork 's avatar on twitter, but it's also creepily close to what my husband looked like when Mark Helperin Halperin (thanks commenters) said "both sides" on Hardball in response to today's Romney Fail.

 

PS It's okay Reince. You only have Fifty Eight More Days of This. Then they'll fire you. But never, ever Mark Halperin.
