Tom Tancredo says Jindal's speech was "the last nail in his coffin" for the presidency. And if anyone knows about a dead presidential campaign, it's whoever that guy is.

Chris Matthews, Barney Frank rip Darrell Issa a new one for using the term "Democrat" Party, being a shameless, bloviating fuckwipe --
Sweet.
Matthews: Well, I think the Democratic Party calls itself the Democratic Party, not the Democrat Party. Do we have to do this every night? Why do people talk like this? Is this just fighting words to get the name wrong?
Issa: This isn't intended to be fighting words.
Matthews: They call themselves the Democratic Party. Let's just call people what they call themselves and stop the uh, the Mickey Mouse here. Save that for the stump -- seriously.
Issa: Chris, Chris.
Matthews: Now let's get to the issue here, seriously we've got a fiscal challenge. I want to go back to Congressman Frank and to some English here. Congressman Frank are you worried about the size of these WWII numbers here? Again, 1.75 trillion deficit this year. A spending level of almost 4 trillion. We're almost running deficits as big as the revenue number we're bringing in.
Frank: Well Chris let me first of all come to the defense of my colleague Mr. Issa and the Republicanistical Party that he represents...
Issa: Thanks, Barney.
Frank: You're welcome there Darrell. The point is this. For him to say "oh these are the Democrat's deficits"... I have never seen people disavow their own handiwork so quickly. And I knew that born again was an important strain in our society but born again deficit haters, it's a new version.

Tax-cheating conservatard's book signing draws massive crowd of 11
Samuel "Joe the Plumber vestigial tail" Wurzelbacher held court in a DC Borders last night to hawk his new book, "Joe the Plumber: Fighting for the American Dream,"* but only eleven people showed up.
So what's next for the unlicenced plumber? Well, when he's not speaking at conservative circlejerks, he'll be doing unlicenced construction. Bonus:
Sigh.
*If the American dream is to not have an actual job, not pay your taxes, and live off the pathetic petulance of a party of losers, well, yeah.
[O]nly a few stayed afterward to get their copies signed. Wurzelbacher was scheduled to speak and sign books for three hours, but the Joe Show was over in 55 minutes. Total copies of "Joe the Plumber" sold: five.

Always-wrong columnist maintains perfect record
Again! Neocon hack Bill Kristol, who's been wrong about absolutely everything, says the GOP should "obstruct and delay." Because there aren't enough people hurting these days.
What, more tax cuts for the rich? Yes, the same party that ran this country into the ground for the past eight years are now suggesting we need more of the same. Either that, or do absolutely NOTHING. Wow. How totally irresponsible! What a patriot!
A commenter writes
Dude.
They should do their best not to permit Obama to rush his agenda through this year. Slow down the policy train. Insist on a real and lengthy debate. Conservatives can't win politically right now. But they can raise doubts, they can point out other issues that we can't ignore (especially in national security and foreign policy), they can pick other fights -- and they can try in any way possible to break Obama's momentum. Only if this happens will conservatives be able to get a hearing for their (compelling, in my view) arguments against big-government, liberal-nanny-state social engineering -- and for their preferred alternatives.

Total copies of "Joe the Plumber" sold: five.
Plumbing? Not happening. "I show up on a plumbing job and the first thing someone's going to say is 'Joe the Plumber didn't do the job right,' " he said. "The next thing you know, it's on the national news. It would be naive to go back to it."Now how could anybody think that a tax dodging, unlicensed shit clog cleaner do a bad job? How socialist!

This year's conservative political action conference (CRAP) is underway in DC and it's hot hot hot!

This year, Cheney and Bush are off the agenda, replaced by ghosts of the campaign trail like Sammy Wurzelbacher and mocumentarian John Ziegler, who has been making the rounds to restore Sarah Palin's self-imposed media debacle with his latest lie-filled crap-fest, "Media Malpractice: How Palin Was Targeted Simply Because She Opened Her Stupid Fucking Yap-hole." And of course impotent junkie Rush Limbaugh will be there as the biggest draw.

Limbaugh to convene a 'female summit' to figure out why hos and castrating feminazis hate him
When a new poll comes out showing most women think he's a vile sack of shit, hateful misogynist Rush Limbaugh gets all verklempt:
Don't get me started. Oh, I don't know. Can a racist, sexist, child-abusing pig really "own" women? Especially a repulsive, bloated, egotistical scumbag like him? I think not.
"We’ll have a summit of all the women in this audience — or as many of them as we can get into breakout groups — and perhaps devote an hour in an upcoming program to calls only from women who genuinely want to talk to me. They can be liberal, conservative. They could be non-audience members, could be audience members. But I want some of these women to start telling me what it is I must do to close the gender gap — or, if not what it is I must do to close the gender gap, what it is I’ve done that has caused the gender gap; assuming the gender gap is true and that the poll is true.

[C]ustomers arriving for an organic gardening class — and even store employees — were surprised Saturday when the [former Boy King] showed up to, um, shop. According to the store, Bush walked in around 11 a.m. wearing his presidentin’ outfit: a bomber jacket with the presidential seal on the left breast and his name on the right. Accompanied by a small Secret Service detail, Bush signed autographs and posed for photos.

We believe the most effective investigation can be conducted by a prosecutor, and we believe such an investigation should begin immediately."

"Their fathers were relentlessly self-improving boulangerie owners from Belgium with low-grade narcolepsy and a penchant for buggery..."
The Republican governor of Utah on Monday said his party is blighted by leaders in Congress whose lack of new ideas renders them so "inconsequential" that he doesn't even bother to talk to them.
"I don't even know the congressional leadership," Gov. Jon Huntsman Jr. said, shrugging off questions about top republicans, including weepy obstructionist cumbucket John Boehner and pudfaced nincompoop Mitch McConnell. "I have not met them. I don't listen or read whatever it is they say because it is inconsequential - completely."
He said congressional repukes failed to score political points for opposing the bill because the public saw them as objecting to Democrats rather than as taking a principled stand.

The Republican Noise Machine doesn't need the customary 100 days to size up the new president. Right-wing commentators barely needed 30 days to come to their conclusion that they hate everything Barack Obama stands for.
It's astounding to watch the avalanche of hate ooze from conservative media quarters. And why? Because Obama passed an economic recovery bill. Good Lord, imagine if he had failed to win the popular vote and then led the country into a pre-emptive war based on faulty intelligence, a war that lost thousands of American lives, and tens of thousands of foreign lives, while milking the U.S. treasury out of a few trillion dollars in the process.

Oh really. That's funny, because back on planet Earth...
The NYT:

The WaComPo:
Had enough yet? No? Good:
Suck it, pukes.
As I noted earlier this evening, the American public is showing virtually no confidence in the economic measures that have been implemented or advocated by the Obama administration.
Oh really. That's funny, because back on planet Earth...
The NYT:
President Obama is benefiting from high levels of confidence among Americans about his leadership, according to the latest New York Times/CBS News poll. A majority of people surveyed in both parties said Mr. Obama was striving to work in a bipartisan way, but most Americans faulted Republicans for their response to the president.
MSNBC:
Large majorities of Americans support President Barack Obama's plans to revive the economy and his efforts to work across party lines, according to a pair of public opinion polls released Monday.
The WaComPo:
64 percent of those polled back the economic recovery package and the same percentage backs the mortgage proposal. Overall, 60 percent of poll respondents approve of how he is dealing with the economy.
Had enough yet? No? Good:
Head-to-head, though, Americans are putting far more faith in Obama than in congressional Republicans: 61 percent said they trust Obama more than the GOP when it comes to economic matters, just 26 percent side with the Republicans in Congress. Obama's advantage on that question is bigger than George W. Bush, Bill Clinton, or George H.W. Bush ever had over the opposition party in the legislature on dealing with the economy.
Overall, Democrats maintain a nearly 2 to 1 edge over Republican'ts as the party Americans prefer to confront "the big issues" over the next few years.

Caribou Conspiracist: 'Media targeted, tried to destroy me'
By covering her campaign appearances, taping her interviews, reporting on her soundbites verbatim.
As part of an interview with conservative hack circlejerker John Ziegler for his new film out this week, Wehhhh!: How the Drive-By Media Refused to Tongue-Bathe St Sarah's VP Campaign, Sarah Palin (R-Tinfoilia) said she believes the media made a decision that “we’re going to seek and we’re going to destroy this candidacy of Sarah Palin’s because of what it is that she represents.”Howard "Screamin'" Dean, Al "I invented the internet" Gore, serial rapist Bill Xlintoon and his murdering lesbian wife Hitlary could not be reached for comment. Socialist commie B. HUSSEIN Osama and his Muslim baby-mama were too busy terrist fistjabbing to make a statement.
“Obviously something big took place in the media,” she added. It is “very frightening, I think, what the media was able to get away with, this go around.”
Palin suggested that unbalanced media coverage posed a threat to democracy.
Miserable failure's shrine to pop-up books a bust
Drooly McDumbass's peznental lieberry is not generating any buzz on the Google --
The lieberry's mission statement, is in part:
To which one wag commented
Indeed.
The web site for George Wuh? GameBoy’s presidential library foundation – GeorgeWBushLibrary.com – is falling behind in online search results for “Bush library.”
Who’s beating him? His own dad, and some guy who owns a porn collection. Even pages mocking the former president rank higher.
Donny Sullivan, editor-in-chief of Search Engine World, said the site -- just like the former president himself -- is “below average” and is probably failing in efforts to raise money because of its low ranking, low subject matter, and low interest in multiple well-thumbed and stained copies of "My Pet Goat."

[To advance] the ideals of freedom, opportunity, responsibility and compassion through study of the Bush presidency and ongoing research, discussion and scholarship. The Bush Presidential Center uniquely integrates the records of a Presidential Library and Museum, the intellectual capital of a policy institute and the resources of an independent foundation.

In other words, it will be a monument dedicated to WHAT NOT TO DO!

Has Atlantis been found off Africa?
Or are the minions of Cthulhu just fucking with us again?
* Wales is around 121 times the size of Liechtenstein, or 6.2 Rhode Island Units.
Update: not so fast, Donovan!
A "grid of streets" on the seabed at one of the proposed locations of the lost city of Atlantis has been spotted on Google Ocean. The network of criss-cross lines is 620 miles off the coast of north west Africa near the Canary Islands on the floor of the Atlantic Ocean.
The perfect rectangle – which is around the size of Wales* – was noticed on the search giant's underwater exploration tool by an aeronautical engineer who claims it looks like an "aerial map" of a city.

*Who does NOT have a bright blue scrotum. That we know of.
Hey, black folks, do you know any white folks? Good. OK, I want you to go up to them right now and, as politely as you can, start sharing your most deeply held racial views. Hey, white folks, you're not off the hook. I want you to go and do likewise with any black people you know. Don't want to do that? Really? Well, then, you're a coward. That's the short version of Attorney General Eric Holder's* speech this week celebrating Black History Month.

GOP legislator: Sarah Palin is "Dan Quayle with a ponytail"
Caribou Barbie needs to keep a potatoe lodged in her gob permanently, says anonymous source.
Meanwhile, a commenter at the WaComPo has a simple suggestion for the beleaguered ditz:
lulz
In yet another ringing GOP endorsement for her potential as the 2012 candidate of intellectual curiosity, nuanced thinking and political competence, a fellow Alaskan Republican likens Sarah Palin to the doltish, phonics-failure of a former VP while a prominent party strategist advises her to "disappear for a while."
Meanwhile, a commenter at the WaComPo has a simple suggestion for the beleaguered ditz:
Between now and 2012 Sarah has time to buy a clue, but she's got a helluva lot of catching up to do. For starters, she could very quickly triple her foreign policy experience if she were to simply have breakfast at the International House of Pancakes.
