An Assassination Crazy

Here's someone who shouldn't be on TV. Liz Trotta? No, I never heard of her before either.

Obviously she's on Wingnut-TV, the Fox News Channel (wait for laughs to die out...) And she's doing a little commentary on Hillary's gaffe about not being able to drop out of the race because, you know, Bobby Kennedy got assassinated in June. Hint, hint.

This Liz Trotta person -- I'm taking someone else's word for it that's who she is -- not only can't distinguish Barack Obama from Osama bin Laden (don't they check a person's basic abilities before they get a job at Fox?), but she thinks it would be a good idea for someone to "knock off" Obama.

And she has a good laugh about it.

It's amazing to me that people like this Liz Trotta can seriously get on TV and joke around, and even suggest it would be a good idea, that our presidential candidates should be assassinated. This is just stunning!

Can anyone do anything about this person?

Slouch Takes Huckabee Down

We're sending out several thousand raspberries in the general direction of Mike Huckabee on this fair day, for his boneheaded, botched "joke" about Obama facing gunfire backstage at the NRA convention. What a thing to have on the tip of his tongue!

Way to go, Mike. That's one of the fastest acts of political suicide I can remember! If you had any aspirations for the Republican nomination for vice president, common sense tells us you just gave it up. (Of course, knowing the Republicans -- a sadder group of airheads, boneheads, and morons we can barely imagine -- they might retire McCain and run you after all. But even they probably still have at least three functioning brain cells and would have to know this ain't going to poll well.)

Maybe you better get some of that real sincere contrition thing going. And next time you feel like flapping those pinkish things that make up the outer edge of your mouth, just try it for a change shutting up.

Yeeesh!
