Just a rainy Thursday

MSNBC's seething comb-over erupts again.

A Republican bill to give pet owners a way bigger health care deduction for their pets than they would get themselves is doomed. The reason? Gays are more likely to have pets than opposite-pet-owners.

Poor Senator David Vitter. He's happy that the Katrina Diaspora has made Louisiana more Republican, but unhappy that the population loss may cost the state a congressional seat. His solution? Accuse the Democrats of wanting to count illegal aliens in the next Census.

Congressman Jeff Flake
"Look out, Aaron Schock..."

Arizona Republican Congressman Jeff Flake issues the standard non-apology apology after telling a reporter his living on a desert island stunt was to banish the feeling that, "since leaving his childhood ranch, "I've felt like a pansy, I guess, and this made it feel like I was actually doing something again."

So removed from reality it makes your head hurt, Arizona Republican Congressman John Shadegg says, "What we’re really getting here is we’re not just getting single-payer care. We’re getting full on Russian gulag, Soviet-style gulag health care." Cue the Ghostbusters:
Dr. Peter Venkman: This city is headed for a disaster of biblical proportions.
Mayor: What do you mean, "biblical"?
Dr Ray Stantz: What he means is Old Testament, Mr. Mayor, real wrath of God type stuff.
Dr. Peter Venkman: Exactly.
Dr Ray Stantz: Fire and brimstone coming down from the skies! Rivers and seas boiling!
Dr. Egon Spengler: Forty years of darkness! Earthquakes, volcanoes...
Winston Zeddemore: The dead rising from the grave!
Dr. Peter Venkman: Human sacrifice, dogs and cats living together... mass hysteria!
Never a hair out of place, never a crease in his suits: General Wesley Clark looked every inch a president. That's as far as the resemblance went.

Whatever "adherence to rigid constitutional government" is, Lindsey Graham's getting heavy weather for dissing it. FITSNews says Graham's gone all RINO from being in DC too long.

Nate Silver writes that even Rush Limbaugh gets a bum rap sometimes.

The LDS Church is offended that people protest their marriage equality suppression campaigns. Really offended: "In a speech at Brigham Young University–Idaho on Tuesday, Elder Ballin H. Oaks suggested that Mormons are facing the same type of intimidation that Southern blacks had to endure from Reconstruction to the passage of the Voting Rights Act in 1965."

More Roots than roots: Boy Fogle's questions why the First Lady hasn't visited the Palmetto State, given that "Mrs. Obama has roots in the state. She spent time in Georgetown County during her childhood, and recently discovered that some of her ancestors were from South Carolina." Michelle Malkin says the nonvisit is "criminalizing dissent."
