Sarah Palin's amazingly gaffe-tastic bus tour of the East Coast is apparently going the same way as her governorship: Palin Bus Tour Takes Extended Pit Stop.

Half-governor Sarah Palin announced recently that she really, really wants to meet Margaret Thatcher; but apparently the feeling isn't mutual. It appears that the former prime minister has no intention of meeting the darling of the Tea Party movement. Andy McSmith reported in the Independent this morning that Palin is ...

This new Washington Post-ABC News poll was taken during the timeframe when Sarah Palin blathered out her absurdly botched version of Paul Revere's ride; it's hard to know how much effect those comments (and her subsequent doubling down on stupid) had, but whatever the reason, Palin is even losing the ...

Right wingers across America are now totally convinced that Paul Revere rode through Boston ringin' bells and shootin' off guns to warn the British not to take away American firearms (it's already become an impenetrable article of faith on the right), so this won't make any difference to them. But ...

Yesterday Sarah Palin blathered that she was ambushed by the "lamestream media" and their "gotcha questions" about Paul Revere. Today David Frum has discovered the outrageous ambush question that threw Palin for such a loop: "What have you seen so far today, and what are you going to take ...

Earlier today at Conservapedia (the bizarre right wing alternate universe version of Wikipedia), their post about Paul Revere disagreed with Sarah Palin, and actually got the history correct. Well, you knew that wouldn't last. In the last hour, someone has edited Conservapedia's page several times to try to match Sarah Palin's ...

Now posted at the discussion page for the Paul Revere entry at Wikipedia: Sarah Palin's Army Needs to Go Away. I would strongly suggest locking this page until the Palin controversy blows over and her supporters lose interest in trying to rewrite the page to conform with her erroneous version ...

Man, you've gotta almost admire the sheer blind dedication of Sarah Palin's wingnut acolytes. Now they're trying like crazy to edit the Wikipedia page for "Paul Revere" to make it match Palin's botched version of history. Here's the Revision history of Paul Revere; check out the edits that are being reversed. Also ...

So there she is, ridin' around the country in a bus decorated with the US flag and the Constitution and her name, and the flag, and stuff, and here comes that ol' lamestream media again with those "shout-out gotcha questions" -- like, "Hey Sarah, remember Paul Revere?" "Part of his ...

Yes, it's beginning to look like the icon of modern conservatism (intellectually incurious, anti-science, fanatically religious, and terminally xenophobic) is going to run for President after all. Damn the polls -- full speed ahead!

The Boston Globe reports that former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney seems to be keeping his distance from the Tea Party. The feeling is mutual. Teabaggers absolutely hate Mitt Romney for many reasons, including his religion, his pro-choice background, and his relative moderation in a field of extremists. It's not just that ...
There’s something about the words “President Lou Dobbs” that just warps reality. How does Dobbs/Palin 2012 strike you? Or maybe Palin/Beck? Huckabee/Palin? Or (shudder) Bachmann/Paul? I’m having a hard time shuffling these cards to look good.

It doesn’t mean much this far out from the 2012 election, but the latest CNN poll shows Mike Huckabee with a very slight (i.e., statistically insignificant) lead as the GOP’s presidential front runner. The survey suggests that 22 percent of Republicans would most likely support former Arkansas governor and former ...
