Erick Erickson of RedState.com (of all people) notices that among Sarah Palin’s fan base there are more than a few who are somewhat, uh, overenthusiastic.

Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-Mars) suggests that President Obama or Attorney General Holder advised Al Qaeda leader Khalid Sheikh Mohammed to plead not guilty so he could have a show trial in Manhattan. Sometimes it seems as if right wing politicians are in a contest to see who can uncork the ...

RNC chairman Michael Steele says the GOP “screwed up” after Reagan. Of course, just a couple of weeks ago Steele was saying the Republican Party is “a natural home” for tea partiers, so he may still be somewhat unclear on the concept. And also of course, this leads to yet ...

Loony demagogue Glenn Beck went on a tear today, ranting about all the mean things people have said about him, and I enjoyed hearing him say this quote from yours truly so much I had to save the clip to YouTube. Repeated thrice for three times the wonderfulness. Come on! ...
