S#*! Sarah Palin Says (Reading Comprehension Edition)

This one is an instant classic.

Tea Party mama grizzly Sarah Palin had an issue with Secretary of State spokesman PJ Crowley's tweets today.



Apparently, the Tea Party darling has absolutely no idea of the definition of sarcasm, as the Thrilla from Wasilla was responding to this:

Crowley posted two short messages directed at the Iranian president, who turned 54 this week.

"Happy birthday President Ahmadinejad," the first tweet reads. "Celebrate by sending Josh Fattal and Shane Bauer home. What a gift that would be."

The second tweets reads: "Your 54th year was full of lost opportunities. Hope in your 55th year you will open Iran to a different relationship with the world."

Anyone with half a brain would understand that the opening salvo of the "birthday message" was a set up to nail the point home that Iran and Ahmadinejad should release the American hikers arrested near the border in 2009 and charged with espionage. But Sarah just doesn't get it. She thinks the Obama administration was basically sending him a birthday card.  What a bonehead.

ADDING... If you check out blogs and comments on this story, it's amazing to me how many people are defending her and think that the Crowley tweets are actual messages to Ahmadinejad and this is how we're conducting foreign policy.  I fear for the collective intelligence of our country.

Jon Stewart Eats Joe Scarborough's Head

Not much to say on this one. Morning Joe sold out. Starbucks is now a sponsor. Jon Stewart calls Joe out on his ass-kissing of Starbucks CEO and product placement. Joe Scarborough claims it was sarcasm... even though THEY ARE sponsored by Starbucks and THEY ARE placing product all over the set. Jon Stewart eats Joe for a snack.

Enjoy.





If you have a problem with this, you can write in to Starbucks and complain regarding their Corproate social responsibility efforts. Some are suggesting to boycott Starbucks and let them know why. I'll write in to say that their choice of sponsorship is suspect, but sorry, Carl can't gives up the Starbucks. If I boycotted every product because some asshole plugged it, I'd starve.
