So Many Outrages, So Little Time

I think we could go on for days and days about the Senate health care compromise, including the fact that Joe Lieberman is apparently going to join the Republican filibuster against it -- can't have them common folk gettin' something they need, and all that, ya might take profit from somebody we go to parties with or somethin' -- but there is one glorious bit of sunshine today, truly a defining (in the dictionary sense) moment of right-wing fucktardedness.

You might've heard that, last week, Rush Limbaugh and others got pranked. The gist of it is, a satirical site made up a phony thesis that Barack Obama had supposedly written in college, and Rush believed it. And then it was exposed as a hoax, while he was still on the air Friday.

Well, here's what Rushbo said about it:

So we stand by the fabricated quote because we know Obama thinks it anyway.

I would say "you can't make this stuff up", but obviously you can.

Thoughts on any and all of this? Political open thread. Please keep it civil.

I think it's pretty pathetic that the conservatives are complaining that the OTHER SIDE was slamming the constitution, when the Bush administration was the one using the constitution as toilet paper for the last 8 years.
