1. Rush Limbaugh: The pope rips America, causing Obama to orgasm! And then Mandela really showed those American blacks how to do civil rights!

The man who has continually raised the ante on outrageousness brought his A-game this week, starting with comments about Pope Francis and President Obama. “The pope is ripping capitalism, ripping trickledown economics, ripping America. And Obama is having an orgasm,” Limbaugh spewed. “The pope has co-opted Obama.” Because what really gets this president’s motor going is “ripping this country apart.” (Are you listening, Michelle?) Obama demonstrated his ejaculatory pleasure in criticizing America a few days later when he had the audacity to say that “increasing inequality is most pronounced in this country.” The nerve!

2. Sarah Palin: Thomas Jefferson and I agree. Those meanie atheists are trying to abort Christ from Christmas.

Sarah Palin managed to combine those dreaded atheists with abortion, Christ-killing and the dastardly war on Christmas all in one fell swoop in a speech at Liberty University. She was, of course, promoting her new book Good Tidings and Great Joy: Protecting the Heart of Christmas, and the former not full-term Alaska governor is nothing if not good at self-promotion.

3. Tin-eared RNC: Racism and sexism have ended.

The national Republicans deftly demonstrated how they can appeal to both women and blacks this week. They started offering lessons to candidates on how not to say offensive things about women, especially when you are running against one, as Todd “legitimate rape” Akin did. Clearly, a steep learning curve there. Emergency reinforcements may be needed.

4. Rick Santorum: Obamacare is like apartheid. And I am like Mandela. O’Reilly: Oh, you mean that commie?

Wow. Flabbergasting things happen when you combine two idiots on Fox with the death of a great man.

3. Statements like these just leave me speechless.

You can't reason with people who think this way.

4. The saving grace is

that old white dudes watch Fox because the Fox babes sometimes show some skin. As they age and leave us, the message will be lost totally. Fox is soft porn for white guys over 75. It doesn't matter what they say, no one is listening.

5. Perhaps we could start a weekly Looney Tunes poll in GD.

I've been collecting this stuff for a long time; some recent 'saves' include:

6. So many of these had me saying ...

"No, No one says/thinks this stuff out loud."

Then I got to the comment #9, particularly this part:

I don’t think it’s inevitable but I think if you have to hit Iran, you don’t put boots on the ground, you do it with tactical nuclear devices and you set them back a decade or two or three."

And thought "Way too much TV warching for this one ... keep him far, far away from anything sharp."
