(some of the)stupidity of the day

All from Crooks and Liars :

O'Reilly uses the Pope's death as an excuse to go on an irrational anti-choice rant.

One of the most absurd comparisons of all time:
In a preview of the concise, expert, and thoughtful commentary Tucker Carlson will bring to MSNBC. Tucker had this to say about the Pope.
Carlson: ...You're huge. You're bigger than Bono.

This is not a joke! He actually said that!!!!

bush is a deadbeat :

It's a distant memory for most of the country, but President Bush's campaign swing through Southern Oregon is fresh for hotel owners still waiting to get paid nearly $19,000 for expenses incurred by the administration last fall...read on

The letter written by the hotel's accountant Kirsten Yunuba Stephens, said: "My question to you: Is this how you help balance the budget at the White House by ripping off retailers in the towns you visit? If that is the case please do not come back to the Rogue Valley."...read on

You've got to laugh when a hotel accountant bashes the Bush budget.

So it's as simple as: On the right, people are for something. On the left, people are against something?

Many. Yep. Absolutely true.

One of the most inane statements of all time! The "left" is generally the party fighting for people and for rights, while the "right" is generally doing its best to deny and take away rights from the American public. Amazing!

From Malkin:
She says:

"The death of the Pope just couldn't stop the libs in the media from showing their true colors. "

Example No. 2: CBS puts a basketball game over the death of one of modern history's most towering figures.

(Maybe they did that because some people might want to watch the game as opposed to viewing a dead body 24/7?! I sure would be pissed if my fave show was pre-empted due to the absurdly over-the-top coverage of this!)

Colorado Gov. Bill Owens apologized for saying "the natives are getting restless" during a conference on tribal gambling.

Do these people not understand "innapropriate"?!

Just a few of today's choice moments!
