Rush Limbaugh, Classless As Always

by Doug Mataconis @ Saturday, July 24th, 2010. Filed under Dumbasses, Politicos & Pundits, Politics, Rush Limbaugh

When I heard this on the road yesterday, I thought my ears decieved me, but they didn’t:
RUSH: We’re sitting here and since everybody is buzzing in Vietnam about Chelsea Clinton’s wedding, we are, too. We’re buzzing about Chelsea Clinton’s wedding. We’re wondering if there is a Lewinsky in Chelsea’s husband’s future. Greetings, [...]

Church Members Sue When Doomsday Fails To Arrive

by Doug Mataconis @ Wednesday, July 7th, 2010. Filed under Dumbasses, Religion

Somehow, I think that stupidity will be a complete defense to this claim of fraud:
One of two civil claims brought against religious group Agape Ministries may be settled out of court, a lawyer has told the Adelaide District Court.
One of the plaintiffs cannot be named because of a temporary suppression order.
That plaintiff and another former [...]

Texas Republicans Very Obsessed With The Gays

by Doug Mataconis @ Tuesday, June 22nd, 2010. Filed under Dumbasses, Political Parties, Politics, Republicans

Apparently, the biggest problems facing Texas involve Adam and Steve:
Texas Republicans are a conservative lot. Still, it’s difficult to imagine mainstream GOP voters demanding their neighbors be jailed for engaging in a little hanky-panky behind closed doors.
Nevertheless, the state’s Republican party has voted on a platform [PDF link] by which their [...]

Dan Nowicki uncovers this amusing video clip of J.D. Hayworth pushing a “free government money” infomercial scam:

Republican Candidate For Congress Suggests BP/Obama Conspiracy To Destroy Oil Rig

Ladies and gentlemen, Bill Randall, candidate for Congress in North Carolina’s 13th Congressional District:

“Maybe they wanted it to leak, but then it got beyond what was anticipated and we had an explosion and loss of life,” Randall said. “Is there a cover up going on? I’m not saying there necessarily is. But I think that [...]

Tennessee Church Bars Woman From Softball League Because She’s Gay

by Doug Mataconis @ Friday, June 18th, 2010. Filed under Dumbasses

This is just stupid:
Jana Jacobson said she was banned from a local church softball league for being gay, reports The Commercial Appeal in Memphis.
Jacobson says the Bellevue Baptist Church disqualified her team from competing in their adult women’s softball league because of what they called her “deviant” lifestyle.
The coach registered, paid the league’s entry fee [...]

Nikki Haley Targeted By Despicable Religious Bigotry

by Doug Mataconis @ Friday, June 18th, 2010. Filed under 2010 Elections, Dumbasses, Elections, Political Parties, Politics, Religion, Republicans

I noted before the South Carolina primary that one Republican had called her a “raghead” because of her Sikh heritage. Now that she’s in a runoff, Nikki Haley is the target of an even more insidious smear:
The chairman of the Pickens County Republican Party circulated an e-mail to GOP activists and party elite Friday suggesting [...]

Mark Souder: I Prayed For God To Stop Me From Doing My Assistant

by Doug Mataconis @ Wednesday, June 16th, 2010. Filed under Dumbasses, Politics, Religion

Instead of, you know, actually not doing it:
Former Rep. Mark Souder (R-Ind.) frequently “prayed” and “sang hymns with emotion and tears” over the multi-year affair that ended his congressional career last month.
Since admitting to an affair with a longtime staffer, the devout Christian and socially conservative Souder has been in frequent e-mail contact with World [...]

Republican Congressman: Obama Favors The “Black Person” By Default

by Doug Mataconis @ Tuesday, June 15th, 2010. Filed under Barack Obama, Dumbasses, Obama Derangement Syndrome, Politicos & Pundits, Politics

Groan:

Rep. Steve King (R-Iowa), well known for his incendiary comments, has done it again.
During an appearance on G. Gordon Liddy’s radio show this morning to discuss Arizona’s immigration law, King suggested President Barack Obama was a racist and “favors the black person” while carrying out his presidential duties.
King also said that he was “offended” by [...]
