I Wasn't Aware the Ability to Lactate and Take an Exam at the Same Time Was a Qualification for the Job

Massachusetts Democratic Senate Candidate Elizabeth Warren was the first 1/32 Cherokee by cheekbone to breastfeed from a papoose while scaling the Washington Monument to take the bar exam at the same time. OK, to be fair that's only partly a fair criticism (though it is more than 1/32 fair). As you're probably aware by now, Ms. Warren has been claiming to be part Cherokee for years because her Aunt Bea used to comment on her grandfather's high cheekbones. Now, video comes out where she's bragging that she was the first nursing mother to take the bar exam in the state of New Jersey. I could be wrong here, but I'm almost certain there was nothing I had to submit to the bar to clarify if I was lactating or not. I may have gotten the male application though.

Only in politics do idiots like this come to the fore. I'm almost rooting for her to win because I can't wait to see the next moronic moment this "academic" is going to have.

Captain Foreign Policy Does it Again

President Obama, supposedly the smartest man on the planet and someone who amazingly gets away with not being criticized often for his atrocious foreign policy missteps, has stuck his foot in it again. President Obama referred to those infamous World War II Polish death camps. You remember when the Poles invaded Germany and started killing all the Jews, right? Neither do I.

President Obama managed to make this comment while awarding the Medal of Freedom to a Polish resistance fighter. The Polish Foreign Minister called the comment a matter of "ignorance and incompetence". The matter was so offensive and egregious that the Minister suggested the White House should apologize and noted that the Polish Prime Minister would address the matter Wednesday.

Ignorance and incompetence. That would be a fitting motto to replace hope and change for the Obama campaign.

U.N. Ambassador to State of Idiocy Appointed

The United Nations, an organization so impotent even Viagra won't help, is also well known as the place where an insane dictator can get his rant on for a few hours, making its credibility somewhat suspect. Luckily, the UN has decided to embrace the image of incompetence, appointing Robert Mugabe as the ambassador for international tourism. The former dictator of Zimbabwe has been accused of ethnic cleansing (i.e. mass murder), rigging elections, repressing opposition media and bankrupting his countries economy. There's nothing quite as enticing in terms of a vacation as having an adventure. And what could be more adventurous than running for your life from a murderous dictator?

Well done, U.N. Next I assume you they will appoint Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad as the representative to the Jewish people.

I Had a Feeling This Was't Kosher

Former New York Congressman Anthony Weiner (D) resigned in disgrace after sending pictures of himself in flagrante delicto to female Twitter fans of his.  Despite having acknowledged his transgression and never blaming anyone else for his actions (apparently breaking from the Bill Clinton legacy), there are those who believe the whole thing was a right wing conspiracy brewed up by Andrew Breitbart.  Weinergate is the modern vast right wing conspiracy to a select few who feel that whatever lay beneath the underwear in his photos was not a Hebrew National.  Luckily, they are a select few and given the confluence of his actions, his name, and their idiocy, they make for a good joke.

The He Who Smelt it Dealt it of Political BS

White House spokesman Jay Carney has floated a new Obama campaign theme, President Barack Obama, fiscal conservative. I'll give you a few minutes to clean up whatever you just spit out after reading that. That's right, the Obama campaign is running with the blatant lie that President Obama has been fiscally responsible. Now, I'm not going to argue that prior Republican presidents have been fiscally conservative by any stretch. That's often hard to do when Democrats renig on their promises to make cuts in exchange for tax raises as they did with President Bush the elder and Ronald Reagan.

But Mr. Carney called it "BS" to listen to people who think President Obama has been spending irresponsibly. The President, ever one to assure that the truth is stringently adhered to, said he couldn't understand how Republicans have been "bamboozeling" people into believing they are the party of fiscal responsibility and the Democrats have to come in to clean up their mess. In fact, he further went on to note that since he became President, federal spending has risen at it's lowest rate in nearly 60 years. Amazingly, he got all of this out without his pants catching fire, being struck by lightning, his nose growing into a pole vault, or bursting into laughter.

Where, pray tell, did they get support for such an insane proposition? The Wall Street Journal's Market Watch contributor Rex Nutting. Perhaps he should consider knocking the last four letters off his name.

The problem with Mr. Nutting's figures? He places all 2009 spending on President Bush. This includes the stimulus (which we all remember President Bush passing, right?), the bailouts, the propping up of Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae, TARP, etc. Mr. Nutting ignores these one-time spending items and just calls them part of the last Bush budget. That way, the additional $1.45 trillion is considered the baseline for comparison of Mr. Obama's non-emergency spending budgets. This might explain how the "0.4% budget increase" Mr. Nutting finds somehow resulted in an additional $5 trillion in debt, more than President Bush racked up in eight years. Fact is, the budget has increased at a whopping average of 8% per year according to Charles Krauthammer.

But never mind all that, President Obama is a fiscal conservative, unicorns exist, puppies fart gold dust which is collected by the Fed to back up the dollar, I'm Shaquille O'Neal...well, you get the picture. I probably shouldn't be too upset about this. It's not like the President isn't lying most of the time.

Pulling the Blanket Out From Under Them

As I listen to President Obama give a speech regarding the race to exit Afghanistan, I note one thing. A person who lives in Afghanistan is not an afghan, Mr. President, they are Afghani. Please stop calling them blankets (though nifty blankets they would be). This is reminiscent of President Kennedy referring to himself as a doughnut when saying "Ich bin ein Berliner" rather than "Ich bin aus Berlin".

That Color Isn't Blue, It's Salty!

The best way to win an argument when you're wrong is to ensure that your opponent can't bring up the fact that you are wrong. Democrats have mastered this tactic. When news broke that Reverend Jeremiah Wright, a long time associate of President Obama, claimed that he was offered $150,000.00 by an associate of Mr. Obama to stop preaching until after the November 2008 election, the liberals engaged in their usual smokescreen, only in an even more disturbing manner than usual.

Democrats took to the airwaves claiming that any discussion of an attempt to bribe the Reverend was actually a discussion of President Obama's religious views. They immediately followed by saying that if religious views are on the table, then Mormonism is also up for discussion, and they were free to smear Mitt Romney with arguments regarding his religious beliefs. Never mind that his was all in reaction to a report that an ad might be run (that's two degrees removed from something actually happening).

Call me crazy, but I'm pretty sure no religion considers bribing a preacher to shut up because he's a racist, anti-semite and generally loathsome piece of crap and might cost you an election a central tenet of the faith. The point of the story is about the bribe, not President Obama's faith (which I believe is about as apparent as his academic record). But, as always, because a liberal cannot win an argument on the merit of the illogic they use to come to conclusions, they resort to changing the argument and threatening their opponents if they bring up the actual argument.
