If it’s “unclear whether Huma Abedin, Hillary Clinton’s closest aide, has been properly vetted or not,” then she hasn’t. OK?

Politico reporter Jonathan Martin wrote an article quoting unnamed Republican operatives who he claims are unhappy with Paul Ryan as as the VP pick.

“Look, folks don’t want to put their names [on] the charges. If you don’t want to read Politico, that’s fine. But that is a conversation happening in the political community. We as reporter want to capture that conversation.”

Maybe I’m crazy, but I find it encouraging that they’re being so honest in dropping the pretense of caring about reputation or journalistic integrity in favor of breathless rumor-mongering. Now we’re free to relax and just enjoy teh crazy.

Dude. Just, dude.

I’ve never really liked country music that much. But in about ’05 or so I started making the transition, enjoying country music more and more, mostly for honest, uplifting lyrics. Guys like Toby Keith, Tim McGraw, Trace Adkins, Lee Greenwood, Billy Ray Cyrus and Alan Jackson all make good positive music and aren’t afraid to sing about real life, hard work and pride for America.

And there’s Hank Williams Jr., who lost his Monday Night Football gig after criticizing Obama, and had this to say during a recent concert:

“We’ve got a Muslim president who hates farming, hates the military, hates the US and we hate him!”

I need to buy some country music this afternoon.

Oh Allah, destroy the Jews and their supporters. Oh Allah, destroy the Americans and their supporters. Oh Allah, count them one by one, and kill them all, without leaving a single one. -Ahmad Bahr, Deputy Speaker of the Hamas Parliament, Aug 10, 2012.

How long are we going to give these bastards the benefit of the doubt? Is there something about that statement that is unclear?

One News Now is reporting on a new survey that finds proven hostility to Christians in the United States. The FRC was one of the two groups conducting the survey. Imagine, last week after having a gunman attack their Washington office, this week they’re comfortable releasing a study of increasing hostility towards American Christians. Increasing hostility. That’s awesome on a Pythonian scale:

King Arthur: Look, you stupid bastard, you’ve got no arms left!

So, in mid July, Obama’s Deputy Campaign Manager, Stephanie Cutter said,

“Either Mitt Romney, through his own words and his own signature, was misrepresenting his position at Bain to the SEC, which is a felony. Or, he was misrepresenting his position at Bain to the American people to avoid responsibility for some of the consequences of his investments.”

Today, President Obama says,

“I am not sure that all of those characterizations that you laid out there were accurate. For example, nobody accused Mr. Romney of being a felon.”

This is getting so shameless, it’s embarrassing.

But I’m actually starting to understand. You see, he’s not lying in ObamaWorld. To Barack, Cutter didn’t call him a felon; she simply represented that the felony was one of two possibilities. See how reasonable that is? Furthermore, Barack Obama certainly didn’t call Romney a felon. He says as much, while speaking in the third person referring to himself as nobody.

Irony or parody? Mystery or conundrum? Smooth or ribbed? I report. You decide.

I haven’t even finished the post, and word over at Buzzfeed is Akin is taking steps to withdraw after a drubbing on Hannity that included Hannity recommending Akin quit, live on the show. Wow. Magical lady parts indeed!

Legitimate Vagina doesn’t roll off the tongue like Pussy Riot, but it’s still an awesome name for an all-girl band.
