Check out this photograph. It's Bush meeting with a truly odious collection of sycophants and lickspittles: Sean Hannity, Michael Medved, Neal Boortz, Laura Ingraham, and Michael Gallagher. Gallagher is the only one of the bunch with whom I'm unfamiliar, but his inclusion in this photograph tells me everything I need to know about him. It's amazing who has the ear of the President these days.

I'm late to the party again; only because Hilzoy mentioned it did I see this hilariously inane article by Michael Medved. I don't know what Medved's qualifications are; he seems to be the Clever Hans of the Right Wing chattering classes, the guy who doesn't actually have a functioning mind but is…
Just outside Baltimore, an Earth Ball -- "a large inflatable ball most often seen in junior-high-school locker rooms" -- may be the most trenchant voice about the utter distaste that is Sean Hannity. Ben Greenman's been compiling the Earth Ball's views. It isn't pretty.

Last night, I was sitting on the couch, my laptop, appropriately enough, on my lap creating my paean to Homeopathy Awareness Week in which I had a little fun discussing homeopathic plutonium. Because Homeopathy Awareness week is not yet over, I'll probably have one more bit of fun at the expense…
I realize there's nothing Earth-shattering about documenting right-wing bias on the Fox News Channel. But yesterday's panel on Hannity and Colmes really had to be seen to be believed. To discuss the conviction of Scotter Libby for perjury and obstruction of justice they had three guests. They…

No terrorism... perfect peace in the Middle-East... clean air... no global warming... no corrupt politicians... no scandals... simply a golden age of prosperity for the entire planet."
Man, it was close to perfect, wasn't it? It has been so long, I had forgotten.

I hate when things are better because that means they still might not be perfect.

....and so free of people trolling blog comment threads with strawmen and abject rhetorical hand-waving. Ah, those were the days.
BTW Jason, Mike Gallagher has the distinction in that group of probably being the most whacked-out religious-right wingnut to occupy it. I wouldn't recommend listening to his radio show, ever, unless you need to kill off quite a few neurons.
