... And fuck you

"iPod controvery" just another made-up "outrage" by the good Christians on the right. Gee.

The Politico {among other conservatard sites -- Ed.} reported that President Obama presented Queen Elizabeth II with "a personalized iPod," and added, "The bestowing of the Royal iPod brought a cringe from one top etiquette expert, who said it confirmed that Obama hasn't figured out presidential gift giving." But while the Politico noted criticism of the gift by "etiquette expert" Anna Post of the Emily Post Institute, Henderson did not mention that Queen Elizabeth asked for the iPod that Obama gave her.

Indeed, while the Politico article reported that "perhaps surprisingly for folks in the U.S. the queen is no stranger to the iPod, because she already has one," it did not point out that according to the White House, the queen requested a video iPod because she did not yet have one of that type.

But... but... teleprompters!!

I swear to god, rightwingnuts are growing even more stupid. Something reputable scientists long dismissed as impossible.

It's time they woke up and realized they're beating their collective heads against a........oh, never mind. Why waste my breath.

It's starting to appear that the Reich-wing media scams have grown ineffective (at least for the moment) with most of the 'independents' and they're rightly ignoring the stupid playground type of crapola they're peddling.

Although I wish I could believe it was due to a sudden burst of awareness/intelligence/etc, I suspect it's just that their wallets started getting affected so they just changed their support/votes to the opposite party. Unfortunately, I'd bet that 10 or 20 yrs from now -- after the Dems have got the budget & economy relatively under control, these same 'independents' will start feeling greedy again and start voting for the same right-wing dickhead solutions...
