I’ve been reading quite a bit about Thomas Brackett Reed lately.  He was a brilliant, witty Speaker of the House from Maine in the late 1800s.  One quote of his keeps coming to mind everytime I hear about the teabaggers:

“They never open their mouths without subtracting from the sum of human knowledge”

Ha, that’s great.

Jack Murtha had better keep one eye open in his casket, just in case that Cap’n Crunch guy comes after him with a flintlock.

I’ve never been very interested in Orly Taitz.  I didn’t begrudge others their fascination with her but I wasn’t into following her crackpot antics either.  I’m a bit of a purist in that I prefer to laugh at the mundane, dull normals like the lady who comes in at 1:36 rather than the wingnut equivalent of arena rock heroes.  Watching Taitz discuss her Facebook friends at about the 5:30 mark, though, made me a convert.  Much like when my sister and her friends dragged me to go see Springsteen at the Garden in ‘81.  I get it now.  I’m going to set up some Google alerts and start bookmarking her every appearance on the internet the way I used to scrounge for mixed tapes of unreleased material from bands with indie buzz.

Guess they didn’t get the memo re: prohibition of wearing the US Flag as clothing, how’s that patriotismy lovey my country thingy working out for ya?

Lawnguy - come and join us at Politijab, it is Orly Taiz central.  You will love it.

She makes common sense out of simple things.

I finally understand, I have been over analyzing Sarah Palin.  I need to take it down to a fifth grade level, and it will all make sense.

I’m not British, but I have a pretty good ear for accents. I thought Cap’n Crunch’s accent was awful.

I know some of the regulars around here are genyoowine Brits, so what say you?

Well, Wonkette snarked on him having a somewhat periodic Scots accent (because of the fancy dress), but nah. He’s supposed to be masquerading as Button Gwinnett, originally from Gloucestershire, so he’d more likely have sounded a bit like Hagrid.

OK, I finally watched the whole thing. These people are goons, defectives, crazies. They made it through the $549 ticket filter (+ airfare and rooms), like the spawning salmon of wingnuttery leaping up the sluice gates of the lock and dam system, to arrive at the Black Heart of Teabaggery.

I had forgotten the gaudy carpet and K-Mart arboretum of that mausoleum of twangy, tear-stained longing, but this video brought back my whole unplanned Nashville experience of years ago. The Opryland hotel is the place where black-velvet Elvises, bad upholstery and stillborn political movements go to die. It is the largest, most cherried-out double-wide trailer on earth.

God bless these young kids for documenting the political equivalent of the world’s suckiest Stargate convention. New Left Media has steel grapes, and then some.

So maybe the Brit, Neil Sankey can succeed where the Russian immigrant (from the Moldavian Soviet Socialist Republic) has failed, bring it on.

Poor little Birthers (still in denial about their losses), Judge Land and now judge Carter, smack down the crazies (case dismissed).

Not even “Fake News” Glenn Beck or Bill O’Reilly believes the crazies, how funny.

To all the birthers in La, La Land, it is on you to prove to all of us that your assertion is true (TOUGH WHEN YOU KEEP LOSING CASES), if there are people who were there and support your position then show us the video (everyone has a price), either put up or frankly shut-up. I heard Orly Taitz, is selling a tape (I think it’s called “Money, Lies and Video tape”). She is from Orange County, CA, now I know what the mean when they say “behind the Orange Curtain”, when they talk about Orange County, the captial of Conspiracy Theories. You know Obama has a passport, he travel abroad before he was a Senator, but I guess they were in on it.

In my opinion the Republican Party has been taken over the most extreme religious right (people who love to push their beliefs on others while trying to take away the rights of those they just hate) and that’s who they need to extract from their party if they real want to win. Good Luck, because as they said in WACO, “We Ain’t Coming Out”.

I wonder if she is a mail order bride, just like her law degree? She is perfect reporter material for “Fake News”, where unfounded rumors and innuendo reign supreme , unlike a our US courts of law.  The way our courts work is that you get a competent lawyer, verifiable facts and present them to a judge, if the facts are real and not half baked lies, then, and only then, you proceed to trial. The Birthers seem to be having a problem with their so called facts that they present.  Let’s face it no one will go along with you until you guys win a case, but until then, you will continue to appear dumb, crazy or racist, or maybe all three. Keep plucking that chicken.

A lawyer, dentist, realtor and black belt, WOW I must say a JACK of all trades master of none

I heard that she now wants to investigate the “Republican 2009 Summer of Love” list: Assemblyman, Michael D. Duvall (CA), Senator John Ensign (NV), Senator Paul Stanley (TN), Governor Mark Stanford (SC), Board of Ed Chair, and Kristin Maguire AKA Bridget Keeney (SC). She wants to re-establish a family values party.

I can only hope that Taitz will resist the state collectors that will be hounding her like the “ruff ruff” that she is to collect the $20K.

We won the election and now these sore losers will continue to spew your hate with lies.
