The really, really stupid. Jill Stanek claims: According to the People story’s teaser, Winokur “learned the cause of her cervical cancer and now makes sure other women know how to prevent it.” The sole cause of cervical cancer is human papillomavirus, or HPV, a sexually transmitted disease.

How Obama is Like Barbaro Similarly, those who swoon at the sight of Senator Beefcake can find in his ponderous, ambiguous statements about serious issues whatever they want to hear.

Even when he ‘clarifies’ he leaves hysterical quotes behind: Joe Biden called Sen. Barack Obama (D-IL) to clarify his “clean” comment to the New York Observer, Biden told reporters in a conference call this afternoon. Biden said Obama told him: “You don’t have to explain anything to me. I know exactly what you meant.” There […]

He was complimenting Obama after all Yes, Obama is different from all those other African-Americans is, in some sense, a compliment. However, in any other sense, Joe just insulted millions of Americans. I’m sure Joe thinks people are just being overly sensitive…like all those Indians working in convenience stores instead of being stuck in the […]

We can […]

Over at Tapped Mark Schmitt links to a Reader article on Obama as he was running for the 13th and discusses his background as an organizing. It’s good reading. Schmitt also links to a piece Obama wrote that I’ve linked to before on organizing that’s quite insightful.

Hilarious Buh-Biden Volumes could be written about all that was wrong with what Biden said about Obama, but I believe we’ve just witnessed the shortest presidential run in history.
