…so now it’s striking me how out of touch with reality she is

 Meghan McCain throws a fit

Once inside, the bubbly blond’s mood didn’t improve; she was annoyed at Wanda Sykes’ roast.

“Sen. McCain gave you grief about the new helicopters you didn’t order,” said Sykes, adding, “I think Mr. McCain was a little bitter because he wanted to be in the new helicopters. Mr. McCain, I’m sure if you ask nicely, your wife will buy you a new helicopter.”

While the assembled crowd of politicos, journalists and celebrities roared with laughter, Meghan was not among them.

“I didn’t like the joke about my mom [Cindy],” the young McCain told us after the dinner. “Why talk about her at all? I (didn’t mind the jokes) about my dad, but leave my mom out of it. It really wasn’t in good taste.”

Because it’s funny that your father, the big tough war hero, is basically leeching off of your old-woman-robot mother?  Mystery solved, Velma.

P.S.

WWE fans apparently no longer convinced that these colors don’t run

The mere sight of Bush elicited thunderous boos — even more jeering than the maniacal [WWE Wrestler] Randy Orton, who dropped Triple H’s wife, Stephanie, on her head and kissed her while a handcuffed Triple H could only watch. Then Orton hit him with a sledgehammer. I’m going to repeat that again, just to be clear: To wrestling fans, George W. Bush is worse than a sledgehammer molester.

I feel bad for Randy Orton, on some level.  Like, what does he have to do to be a bigger villain than the former President of the United States?  Also nice of ThinkProgress to hyperlink the wrestler’s names.

From Chris Weigant:

“Excuse me, did you just say ‘class warfare’? Did I really hear you use that term? This term is highly offensive to me for two reasons. First, there are no crowds of peasants storming Wall Street with pitchforks and torches that I am aware of. There are no armed rebellions going on against the wealthy. When America is in the midst of two foreign wars, I find it highly offensive to suggest that discussing tax policy is akin to ‘warfare,’ and on behalf of the soldiers from my district I would like an apology from you.

“Secondly, the Republican Party has shown for decades now that the only thing it really cares about is tax cuts for the wealthiest of the wealthy. Well, you know what? The rest of America is sick of getting ‘trickled down’ upon. The middle class in this country has seen all of the benefits of Republican rule going to the top one percent of Americans for too long, and they are fed up with it. It’s been more like highway robbery committed against them, and the robbers are finally getting their comeuppance. Americans have never begrudged others from making money, but the days of tax cuts for the rich while regular Americans suffer are over. We are indeed going to fight back for the interests of the middle class against the Wall Street fatcats and the Republicans who protect them. We call it ‘what’s fair’ not ‘class warfare,’ but if you’d like to continue using that term to make your wealthy donors feel better, then be my guest.”

Now THAT is change I can believe in.

Via CamdenChat:

The Orioles are close to reaching an agreement with free-agent pitcher Mark Hendrickson, and an annonucement could be made early this week pending the results of a physical.

Hendrickson would be joining his fifth organization since breaking into the majors with the Toronto Blue Jays in 2002. The 6-foot-9 left-hander is 50-63 with a 5.07 ERA in 215 career games. He was 7-8 with a 5.45 ERA with the Florida Marlins this season.

The Orioles pitching staff is like Obama’s cabinet. Players in theory, but unable to produce positive results or enact any kind of substantive change.

Or something like that.

Arianna Huffington gets it right re: the ‘free market’

You’ve come a long way, baby.

“Picking winners and losers in Washington, D.C., is a dangerous thing to do when you’re talking about a system that supposed to be based on free enterprise,” said Palin. “When you talk about rewarding for work ethic and good management decisions and then consequences are the results of the opposite of that, and those decisions lead to some mistakes that are made in some industries, taxpayer bailouts should not be looked to as the be-all, end-all solutions.”

“…what you have just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point, in your rambling incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points and may God have mercy on your soul.”

Media superstar David Sirota brings us this amazing chart:

Where we learn that America started being a center-right nation exactly one day after Obama won the election. An astounding coincidence, I’d say.

Below the jump and this picture of the best flag ever-

What I, a person with no clout whatsoever, would like to see from my government moving forward:

Clinton as Secretary of State, eh?

It marginalizes Joe Biden. Biden is now overshadowed by a political “superstar,” and the vice presidency is once again rendered “the most insignificant office that ever the invention of man contrived or his imagination conceived.” (-John Adams).

Basically what I would have written, if I ever wrote anything anymore.

New meme- this is my face when I read the latest press release from the Obama transition team:

Here comes the backpedaling!

Between this and Lieberman, I don’t know what to believe in anymore.

I mean, except for Dionysus. All praise be to Dionysus.
