It's Friday, and that means it's time for another Roundup of the Freakshow we fondly call the conservative movement:
Sarah Palin's documentary opened to largely empty theaters this week, which seems like just another reason calling it "Undefeated" may have been a little absurd. At least Ron Paul's make believe movie sounds entertainingly crazy.
Jon Huntsman's campaign manager resigned, meaning he may now have literally zero supporters.
Showing that Republicans are always reasonable in a negotiation, Rep. Steve King (R-IA) pledges not to vote for a single dollar in tax increases no matter how much is cut from the budget.
Speaking of Republicans who must be smoking crack, David VanderLeest went down in a crushing 68-31 defeat in Wisconsin's first recall election.
Former Bush White House ethics lawyer thinks that RNC Chair Reince Priebus is an embarrassment to the Party for attacking Obama over a raffle. And when Bush's ETHICS lawyer thinks you're an embarrassment, you've really got to ask yourself what you're doing with your life.
Herman Cain cites the First Amendment as the reason we should have the right to ban mosques, which I'll at least grant is creatively insane.
Faced with a looming debt limit crisis and the threat of global economic collapse, House Republicans took time to strike down socialist light bulb energy efficiency standards enacted by noted commie President George W. Bush.
Which makes this the perfect week for Mitt Romney to flip flop on the dangers of carbon emissions. While it's always heartwarming to see Republicans pandering to the anti-science crowd, this appeal to the lowest common denominator may come to late to keep him from hitting his own personal fundraising ceiling. Which is probably not where he wants to be as he continues to slip in the polls.
While I think that the argument that migraines should disqualify Michele Bachmann from being President is pretty sexist on it's face (and ignores the much stronger argument that her insanity should disqualify her), it did give Tim Pawlenty the opportunity to remind us that he doesn't even have the courage to stand by his attacks. I believe there's a word for a candidate that is trailing in the polls and can't be aggressive, and that word is loser.
Fox News' Eric Bolling can't remember any terrorist attacks on American soil under President Bush, which I assume means they won't be covering whatever campaign stunt the Republicans pull in a month and a half on the 10th Anniversary of 9/11.
Speaking of Fox News, Rupert Murdoch really doesn't like it when one of his reporters asks him about his hacking scandal. Later "Fox and Friends" tried the interesting spin of saying it's wrong when little people hack big corporations, so it's wrong to attack big corporations for hacking little people....or something. If the whole thing has you a bit down, cheer up and watch Murdoch get hit in the face with a pie.
That's it for this time, have a great weekend and I'll see you next Friday!
