TagsTagsThis last 7 days has been a real banner week for the blogging heirs of Andrew at Breitbart.com; one stunning non-story after another, each one billed as a BOMBSHELL EXCLUSIVE, getting progressively more ridiculous in a crescendo of Obama-hating wingnuttery, building to a denouement of derp. I think we should commemorate ...

If you think the proper answer to Mitt Romney's abuse of his dog is to point out that Barack Obama ate dog meat as a child in Indonesia, you might be a wingnut. Seriously, right wing bloggers. This is the most pathetic example of "I'm rubber, you're glue" politics I've seen ...

This is just classic. Last night, the geniuses at Breitbart.com were trumpeting a HUGE EXCLUSIVE STORY, in which their ambush specialist Jason Mattera scored an EXCLUSIVE interview with U2 singer Bono.

How embarrassing for the entire right wing blogosphere. They worked so very hard to spin the Virginia uterus inspection bill, even denying that trans-vaginal ultrasounds were mandated at all.

Rick Perry's homophobic advertisement has now smashed all YouTube records, and stands at an astonishing 450,000 dislikes. But Perry has learned his lesson. His new video, an attack on health care and "big government liberals," has ratings turned off. Take that, liberals.
Herman Cain's probably going to announce his bail-out on Friday late in the afternoon, the traditional dumping hour for news stories that are trying to go relatively unnoticed.

"The B.S. of A." is Glenn Beck's comedy show, produced for his subscription TV channel, and it's today's excruciating example of why wingnut comedy is made of pure fail. Nearly four minutes of heinous non-humor. Wingnuts are much funnier when they're not trying to be.
