The Toyota defense! Let’s see how that works out for them.

These excuses are getting lamer than Cantor’s story about his office being shot at.

…”Cantor’s story about his office being shot at.”

Sorry to have to correct you, but according to Fox News Canter’s office was “shot up”. As in “The gangsters shot up the police station.”, implying bullets flying everywhere, windows exploding, peace officers and law abiding innocent office workers diving for cover, etc.

Please get your facts straight.

“Canter’s office was “shot up”

Maybe they meant that Cantor and everyone in his office were on drugs. That I can believe.

This being “Armageddon” and all, the Repiglicans are now drawing short straws to decide which one of them has to be assassinated in order to try to make the party look like a victim.

I’d prefer it if they all just got caught dicking transvestite hookers, but most of them won’t go along with that plan because they prefer farm animals.

When you look in this Pope’s eyes…don’t you just see the Love of Christ beaming at yeah? No?

I’m betting he was elevated because of his Earthly politics rather than his Heavenly attributes.

Oh, and Cantor is a dickhead. But I’m not telling you anything you didn’t already know. Also.

A Pope flunkie the other night said people were acting like it was a “criminal conspiracy.” Right, like Bernard Law isn’t still hiding in the Vatican’s cloakroom.

Give it another month and they’ll start using the passive voice: “mistakes were made.”

“A Pope fluffer the other night said people were acting like it was a “criminal conspiracy.” Right, like Bernard Law isn’t still hiding in the Vatican’s cloakroom.”

Fixed it!

Sully yesterday @ 1118:

One litmus test of mine is to see whether a story on the front pages of every global newspaper is being discussed at National Review Online. Sure enough: not a word that I can find. When NRO cannot defend the Benedict hierarchy, it’s totally serious.

And at 1340:

Finally, the silence breaks – with a link to the Vatican press release on the NYT story. Yes, a Vatican press release.

Of course, it was our lady of perpetual Chee-tos who linked it.

“A Pope fluffer the other night said people were acting like it was a “criminal conspiracy.” Right, like Bernard Law isn’t still hiding in the Vatican’s cloakroomcloset.”

Re-fixed.

It’a funny (well, not really) that you use a Nazi, even a make-pretend one like John Banner’s bumbling Shultz…

The “Pope”, “God’s representative on Earth” or what the fuck ever he is, lied about his Hitler Youth service just like he lied about Priests doing little boys and then lying by proxy by covering it all up.

Bottom line: Impeach the Pope, of if not demote his ass and send him to a Parish in say, some place that doesn’t love child molesters too much.

What didn’t the Pope want to know and when did he forget it?

Tbogg: Fox News host strikes motherlode of pure wingnut – I’ve never seen anything so perfect. http://mediamatters.org/blog/201003260027

Owning up to mistakes is a challenge for bipedals under the best of circumstances, but when you’re infallible, are supposed to have the hotline of all hotlines, and eternity is looking over your shoulders, a decent period of lectio, meditatio, oratio, and contemplatio is absolutely imperative. Past experience would indicate that 367 years or so might do.

Thus sayeth the Ratzi, “Give me the child and I’ll give you the remnants”

Mark Shields on Democrats preHCR:

MARK SHIELDS: Just two weeks ago, Democrats on Capitol Hill were like so many sclerotic basset hounds, just…

Channelling TBogg on NPR!

Great clip. The beauty is that they want to portray the Tea Baggers as normal, mainstream people unfairly characterized as nutty, then bring on a nut as an example. I hope she someday appears on the Sunday talk shows with George Will and David Brooks; that I would watch.

Heck, it was a simple mistake in grammar: they just took the word “suffer” in “Suffer the children” to be a transitive verb. It could happen to anyone.

Completely and excellently OT — just in case Mrs. Tbogg reads this, I’d like her to know that her benevolent Karmic wishes for our pug Albert’s recovery from his illness (a septic infection that finally settled down in his respiratory tract) has done the trick. He’s home from the hospital at last, in recuperation mode, eating and drinking again, and at the moment sleeping… Update! Update! It’s teatime and he’s getting up out of his bed to be catered to (and fed)!

Thank you, Mrs. T.! You are indeed a powerful Goddess!

He’s not a Nazi. He’s German, and he’s pretty right-wing, what with being the Pope and all, but he’s not a Nazi. He was in the Hitler Youth because it was the law. You joined the Hitler Youth (or the Jungfrauwossname) or something pretty terrible happened I expect.

Not that I’m interested in defending Sir Pope or anything. I’m just sayin’. “Nazi” is a loaded word.

Wow, so Benedict is Col. Klink?

If only we could fool them so easily. Just another power structure that lost sight of it’s mission decades a millenia ago.

Ah, Victoria. Why did you have to spoil the good feelings from that one time on SNL when you were funny? All you had to do was remain quiet.

Doocey was darn near acerbic. “Yes, that must have been his word of the day once.” If he doesn’t watch it, he’s going to have to explain to somebody what he meant by that.

These Italian mafia guys make the TTT look like a bunch of amateurs.

Well, strictly speaking, just because a lot of people were strong-armed into joining the Hitler Youth doesn’t mean that some of them didn’t enjoy it. But, yes, he’s got enough to answer for without supposing that he’s hiding a swastika armband under his robes.

Yeah, he was “forced” to join the Hitler Youth, of course they had nothing to do with the Nazis, nope, nothing at all. He’s a fucking Nazi and an abettor and protector of child rapists.

He was in the Nazi party, he’s a fucking Nazi. Load that.

1986, the Polish Pope’s on the road doing a gig in Lewiston, Maine. As relics are the upsells of religion, someone had dished up a mess of castings of a small be-mitered pope head in bronze (“Looks like a dick. From behind,” said the girlfriend of the time. Behind?)
These sold as well as you might expect they would, and a pal of mine, who runs a small decorative-metal foundry in southern Maine, bought a half-ton of popes a few months later. So, pope heads clustered around the lip of a fiery crucible met the Polaroid camera, we all had a good laff, and went off for more beer and cocaine.
Who knew God was speaking?

You know who used to say that about the Hitler Youth? HITLER!

His Nazi street creds are validated to this day by his “un” excommunication of that Holocaust-denying Bishop.

You’re right, Nazi is a “loaded word”, but Ratzi was there with them, and his story of “running away” is about as credible as his defense of boy-fucking priests. See, there was this little organization called the Gestapo that hunted down “runners-away” and gave them time to say a “Hail Mary” on their knees while putting a bullet in their neck.

Don’t give me any shit about Ratzi being “compelled”. He was a Nazi.
