"It's OK If You're A Republican"

"It's OK If You're A Republican."

That's the only explanation that makes any sense for why there's such the outrage over the Rev. Jeremiah Wright's statements.

As Jon Stewart rightly points out, to no less a Republican douchebag than Newt Gingrich (who personifies the "IOIYAR" double standard), why do weapons-grade assholes like Pat Robertson and the wormfood Jerry Falwell get free passes, and in fact are actually PRAISED for their absurd comments?

Hagee should be excoriated, not sought out for their support and endorsement.

I really don't think it's because Wright is black. It's because he's a Democrat, pure and simple.

One day the fuckin' chickens will come home to roost on the Republicans, and that will be a glorious day indeedy.

John McCain and "Straight Talk"

The SCLM ("So-Called Liberal Media," thanks to Eric Alterman) loves to parrot John McCain's so-called "Straight Talk."

But the problem is simple: Every time I hear someone say, "I'm going to give you some straight talk," I know that I'm in for a mound of bullshit.

And in McCain's case, it's total weapons-grade bullshit.

I'm sure that I am not the only person who thinks this way.
