You don’t release interviews like this unless you’re about to get hit with a scandal. Hell, what with things happening lately it’s probably going to come out that she got the ‘raw materials’ for her coat into the country via the assistance of ACORN employees.
Via… somebody or other.

PS: “HIIII-YAAAHHH!
Don’t look at me like that. You know you want to own that.
Have I used that one before?
Doesn’t matter if I had: it’s worth repeating. Via @MelissaTweets comes the wonderful news that Roland Burris is giving this ‘run for election’ thing serious consideration. Yes, I know that the conventional wisdom is that he won’t, but Roland Burris is neither conventional, nor particularly wise – and he’s not actually ruling out a run. Admittedly, right now his major problem is that he’d need to find some surefire and very public way to appeal to the liberal faction of the Democratic party. But how to do that?
…Sen. Roland Burris just put out a statement saying he won’t vote for a bill that doesn’t include a public option, which is not supported by many of his moderate Democratic Senate colleagues.
Yeah. Yeah, that’ll do it.

PS: Just remember: if he does run, and you’re a Democrat who votes against him in the primary, it’s because you’re a racist. Just ask Jimmy Carter.

…because she hadn’t a clue about the Senate ACORN defunding amendment. Note that the New York Post is a little more forceful than me; they called Speaker Pelosi ‘clueless.’ Which is not actually unfair of them: keeping track of things like this is part of the Speaker of the House’s job.
Then again, so is paying attention to what happens on the House floor.

Because if you are, here is an advisory: as of this moment, if the Right catches you or your staff within 100 yards of an ACORN office or worker we will cheerfully crucify you with that organization. And by ‘crucify’ I mean ‘take the metaphorical and rhetorical equivalent of long iron nails and permanently attach you to ACORN with them.” As the above link to Jon Stewart’s appalled reaction to all of this shows, public perceptions of the group shifted, and not to the benefit of the people that like to use ACORN. Now would be a good time for individual Democratic politicians to start publicly breaking with the group, in fact.
Seriously. The San Diego video is out, and this one involves a guy talking about why Tijuana is the best place to smuggle underage El Salvadoran hookers across the border (because he has contacts there). Continue reading Are you a Democratic legislator in a Republican-leaning seat?

…so, yeah, I actually sat down and watched it. Good song, good video; I can see why people liked it. Not worth Kanye West imploding his career over… actually, no, it was so totally worth Kanye West imploding his career over, but that’s because I agree with the President that Kanye West is a jackass.

Many thanks to my benefactor, and to everybody who supports this site… which should definitely be extended to Neil Stevens, who very graciously hosts it for me on what’s essentially his own dime. That link should let you show your appreciation for the venue…

Yes, I know that I’ve called it awful. Red Dawn
Because “WOLLLLVEERRRRINNNNESSSS!!!!!,” that’s why.
Link only: it usually doesn’t matter, but RedState has the permission to reprint in this case, not MoeLane.
I will put up the Devore fundraising widget, though.
Yeah, I did this one once already. But it’s too good not to revisit, and it’s also kind of topical.
Kind of.
Because, remember:
From this Politico article on recent media failures (via Hot Air Headlines):
“For Glenn Beck to devote 45 minutes of his show to ACORN and Van Jones says more about his news judgment than mine,” said Dean Baquet, Washington bureau chief of the New York Times.
Given that it can be safely assumed that Glenn Beck viewers were not surprised at either the Van Jones resignation or the Senate’s defunding of ACORN, and that it can be assumed that many New York Times readers were surprised – which, to be blunt (and cruel) about it, means that the former were better informed than the latter – well, put it any way that you like, Baquet. You’re still suffering from the comparison.
