Less than a week after 2012 Presidential Republican hopeful Sen. John Ensign of Nevada admitted to an extramarital affair in a state where the Republican governor Jim Gibbons was going through a messy divorce, South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford, another Republican eyeing the White House admitted that he has been involved in an extramarital affair with a woman in Argentina and "spent the last five days of my life crying" in that country.
One commentator, with an obviously limited understanding of human anatomy, opined that these Republicans were shooting themselves in the foot.
CNN’s Candy Crowley commented that, “… a lot of other Republicans are laying low.”
There was no reply from Miss Low.
American conservatives have been enraged by Iranian leaders attempting to falsify the returns on their presidential election. Worse, the Iranians didn’t even wait for the returns before they falsified them, to keep Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, their own right-wing incumbent in power.
The real reason our Republicans are in a twit is that the Iranians are using plans stolen from them. We had the 9-member Supreme Court stop a recount in a contested election and select a president. Their 12-man Council of Guardians blocked a recount of an even more hotly contested election, and selected their president.
The next thing you know the Iranians will pay us the ultimate flattery in emulating us when they waterboard a few enemies of their state.
When Jay Leno left NBC's Tonight Show, CBS launched a great new promotion to build the audience for Dave Letterman.
First step was getting NBC to fill the spot against him with Conan O’Brian.
This was the secret rating thing that goes bump in the middle of the night.
Next, they arranged for Sarah Palin to get into a hissy fit with Letterman when Dave went way over the line with a joke about one of Palin’s daughters.
Right now, CBS is writing a gay joke for a new NBC reality show with Dick Cheney and Rush Limbaugh, based on the time Dick outed on a Limbaugh.
When Dave springs that one, his ratings will really soar.
Cheney admitted (years too late) that he knew Saddam did not have weapons of mass destruction, and that Iraqis were not responsible for 9/11.
However, he still maintains that they were Democrats.
Mr. Cheney, who reportedly is to receive $2 million for his memoirs, has not been this confused since he auditioned for the role of Mr. Spock in the last Star Trek movie. He offered good wishes to others, saying the classic line, “Lie long and prosper.”
