Bill’s Umbrella

The race to the bottom continues.

A group headed by Karl Rove has put out an ad about Senate candidate and darling of the left Elizabeth Warren which is just chock full of lies.  This is a direct progression from the Mitt Romney ad in New Hampshire in which he totally misquoted Obama (in essence, lied) and then,

O'Reilly is not the first to use the umbrella as a weapon

when called on it, said something like “Yeah, we know it wasn’t all technically true and shit, but it raised the issue we want to talk about, so there.”  The press let the backstabber from Bain Capital get away with that one, and now it’s open season.

Rick Perry couldn’t remember Sonia Sotomayor’s name.  Now, it’s no exaggeration to say that the man is stupid, and certainly a good case could be made that he’s corrupt, but this is  becoming a pattern now.  I think he might have Reagan’s Disease,  and if he gets the Republiican nomination, he’ll probably have to get some medical tests to reassure the American voters the he is only corrupt,  stupid  and evil, and not actually decomposing in front of our eyes.

Donald Trump is all hurt that nobody wants to come to his stupid debate but he is especially pissed off at Joan of Minneapolis, Michele Bachmann, because he apparently thought he was going to be her veep choice.  That would have been huuuuuge.

But the big news today is about Bill O’Reilly flipping out and assaulting a reporter with an umbrella which then, with a very fine sense of poetic justice for an inanimate object, proceeded to collapse in the wind and rain.

You all remember Bill O’Reilly, the guy who thinks he’s this generations William Buckley except that Buckley was quite fastidious about his choice of words, whereas O’Reilly got confused between a loofah and a felafel.  Bill O’Reilly, who is convinced that there is a War on Christmas.  Yeah, that dumbass.

Anyway, he went and found a cop and tried to have the reporter, who had just asked him “Were you at Newt Gingrich’s fundraiser,” arrested.  Unfortunately for Bill, the  whole incident was filmed and it’s not on the internet.  He very clearly was being a jerk.
