Chris Matthews Is a Douche

Norman Solomon on the Glenn Beck Show

Executive Director of the Institute of Public Accuracy, Norman Solomon, appeared on the Glenn Beck Show to discuss NBC's recent on-air ass-kissing of their parent company GE. But he didn't stop there. He called out all of the major networks for not disclosing the special interests of their parent companies, including Beck's own CNN.

It's so rare we get to see anything real make it to the news channels. So savor this moment of honesty. Beck's idiotic buffoonery is just gravy.

Countdown - Rewriting History

Keith Olberman & Arianna Huffington discuss Karl Rove's recent comments that the US Congress is to blame for the Iraq War and that the Bush Administration did not want them to authorize military force.

The only shocking thing, to me anyways, is that Charlie Rose didn't start singing "Liar Liar" to Rove's face.

Democratic Response to Bush's Speech

And finally, Rachel Maddow and presidential candidate Senator Joe Biden (D-DE) joined Keith Olberman and Chris Matthews to give their analysis of Bush's lies and spin.

The Price of American Blood

Conservative wing-nuts are at it again. Ever since General Petraeus called for the "surge" to continue for another year, whacked-out republicans have been defending the need for more dead Americans.

First to volunteer everyone but himself, FOX's Bill O'Reilly. His comments, that 1000 more dead soldiers was completely reasonable, garnered him the top spot on Countdown's Worst Person in the World tally:


Next up to talk out of his asshole, Congressman John Boehner (R-OH), who joined Wolf Blitzer on CNN's Situation Room. He claims that the blood of American soldiers is a "small price" to pay. No word on whether Rep. Boehner will be offering up any of his loved one's for the sacrifice:


And finally - topping even the craziest of the crazies - Philadelphia Daily News columnist Stu Bycofsky, who published an editorial last month entitled, To Save America, We Need Another 9/11. He even went so far as to offer terrorists a list of American monuments for them to target, like the Golden Gate Bridge and Mount Rushmore. Stephen Colbert suggested another option in this segment of The Word - Re-Run:



Unless and until these Republican sociopaths are ready to lay down their own lives in defense of their political policies, they really need to shut the fuck up.

Ding! Dong! The Bitch Is (Almost) Gone!

Hottest news of the day: Karl Rove is resigning. Last day's Aug 31st.
Good riddance, Turd Blossom!!


Here's the official White House press announcement. Try not to barf on your keyboard.


But the most odious display of the day has to be Chris Matthews. You could almost make this into a drinking game. Take a swig every time Matthews puckers up to Rove's asshole.

Brilliant? My aunt fanny...!

The Voice of the People

This was the question of the night. During tonight's ALF-CIO Democratic debate, Steve Skvara, a disabled, steel worker from Indiana, shared his heart-wrenching story of how the company he gave 34 years of his life to, forced him into retirement and slashed his pension and healthcare. Now he can no longer provide for his family.

Steve's story is the story of millions and millions of people in this country whose lives are being destroyed by corporations. And it was so moving to see someone stand up and ask the politicians what they plan to do to stop this American shame. Candidate John Edwards fields the question.
