No Guardrails to Cling to

I'm still reading AP exams. I'm grateful as fuck -- indeed, I am grateful as all fuck -- to our guest bloggers. And just to let you all know, I have a book MS due right after July 4. So does Molly I, as a matter of fact. So we will probably be encouraging Flory, Rip, EGN!, va, & maybe some others to help out around here for a few more weeks, with the posting & the cross-posting & all similar manner of untoward carryings-on.

Nevertheless, I still find wingnuts comical and will be unable to resist pointing at them and laughing. Hence the introduction of a new category, "Meme-O-Moron," wherein I quickly scan Memeorandum and find some quick nibbles of wingnut moron goodness that are worth a quick poke in the eye with a sharp taser.

Take this, from our old friend Moe Lane, prestigious Red State Obercretinfuhrer. Moe thinks it's just fucking hilarious that Obama answers a tedious question as if it's a tedious question. To be fair, Moe is getting this meaningless gotcha gibberish that nobody gives half a shit about from the Liberal Media, so of course it probably means... something. Anyway, it appears that Obama hired or sort of not hired someone who got a questionable loan from Countrywide, and this is Very Important, Somehow. You see, almost nobody else in the nation got a questionable Nationwide loan, so this stands out. Hmmmm.

I sincerely encourage Moe, and Jake Tapper, and The New Your Sun, for that matter, to go bananas with this astonishing scoop. There is something momentous here, clearly -- it's exactly like your uncle got shot by an albino pervert in The Louvre, and yet in his final throes your beloved relative wrote the name of Vince Foster's Real Killer backwards in cryptographic lipstick on his nipples in medieval acrostic Latin, or some shit like that. Run along, kids, solve that puzzle, now.

Here's the next bit. Fox News announces its new face or the 5PM slot, Laura Ingraham. She is very excited about her new gig.

That is a recent photo, yes.

Lindsay Graham said something about a reference to McCain's lobby hobbyists illustrating that with an infamy tree ala real estate magnate Revko . Conflating the actual leaders involved directly by the saint in his campaign with a friendship , of a local man , and outside the campaign in Obama's case . This appears to be more of the same . The first twenty comments over at ABC are an interesting collection of what might be George Romero's Living Dead castoffs .

hey, hey, HEY...enough of this personal smear based on appearance ad hominem crap! Besides Laura Ingraham is nowhere near that attractive.

Good stuff. Good luck with the work, thanks for the snark, and thanks to all the guest bloggers.

Yeah, Countrywide was as tight as Fort Knox! HOW ON EARTH could someone who was the CEO of Fannie Mae (Or Freddie Mac, I don't care how he swings) ever gotten a loan from Countrywide a few years ago?

Who'd he have to fuck, eh? Can you imagine the implications? And where was Obama during all of this? Probably talking about how much he hated whitey.

Well as the personal representative of the estate of a decedent who had a mortgage through Countrywide, I see the Ft. Knox comparision, I really do (after 15 hours of negotiation trying to get them to allow me to make a mortgage payment on behalf of the estate--they lost the paperwork 4 times!)

By any objective standard, Gollum is way better looking than Laura Ingraham; though they do sound alike.
