In a stunning reversal, zigging when everyone thought he would zag, President Obama today nominated the forcibly retired Sen. Bob Bennett, noted leftist from Utah, to the U.S. Supreme Court.
Naw…just kidding.
The SCOTUS nod goes to current U.S. Solicitor General Elena Kagan, noted socialist and prostitute according to right-wing extremists who also say they don’t like her haircut, a little too short for their liking.
The political scene is really bonking for lack of adequate nutrition.
Here’s the good news about Kagan: no one, but no one, doubts her brilliance and precision as a thinker and writer, analyzer of exquisite detail and thoughtful narrative. The Senate’s already voted to confirm her as solicitor general.
Okay, okay…but will she vote to overturn Roe v. Wade…that’s what’s important to the extremists.
Answer: Oh, hell no! Now, y’all go on about the bidness of eating your own and leave the Supreme Court to the grown ups.
But they won’t. They’ll try anything they can think of to try to destroy Kagan, all reasons having nothing to do with her potential as a supreme court justice.
They’ve already called her a prostitute. How much lower can they sink?
Writing in the National Review, no less, some hack named Ed Whelan questioned Kagan’s principles with the famous G.B. Shaw quote, “We’ve already established what you are, ma’am. Now we’re just haggling over the price.”
After being roundly criticized, the Whelan character backtracked a bit to explain everyone uses this quote – you know, to call people whores.
And speaking of solid principles and loyalty, the extremists ate one of their own heroes over the weekend.
The good people of the Utah GOPeeparty, meeting in convention, ousted three-term U.S. Senator Bob Bennett because he isn’t pure enough. It’s rumored he actually knows and has spoken with African Americans, Latin Americans and, perhaps, women!
You see, the Utah GOPers get together in a convention to decide which Republican Utah will elect to national offices such as the U.S. Senate. This year’s back room deal turned into a teabagger convention and out went Sen. Bennett.
The reason? Just not conservative enough. Heck, he voted in favor of President Bush bail-out of big banks and talked to Democrats about health care reform.
In the addled brains of teabaggers this simply will not do. I mean this guy was the employer of Howard Hunt when he and G. Gordon Liddy broke into the Watergate to bug the Democrats…and he’s no longer conservative enough for the baggers. Whew!!
Hmmm…Mitt Romney, Karl Rove and Newt Gingrich all like him. They are so out of step with the baggers.
And finally, from the “Chicks and ducks and geese better scurry” file, it seems farm animals are not safe in Florida.
Despite repeated attempts, the Florida Legislature failed to outlaw animal diddlin’ in the Sunshine State; an issue sure to raise its ugly head in the race for the U.S. Senate.
Terrific work! This is the type of information that should be shared around the web. Shame on the search engines for not positioning this post higher!
