Another Republican busted:
I'm telling you, I'm starting to feel bad for these guys. If they could just be honest with the public and with themselves, there would be nothing to report here. But as it stands, I guess we have to keep making fun of them until they all confess to being the hypocrites they clearly are.

1. Just more "family values" from the party that brought you 7 disasterous years of Bush/Cheney....

2. That could have been O'Bummer!

3. The left claims that pointing to Michelle Obama's "I hate America" statement as a peek into the true mindset of liberals as "petty politics" yet Cenk blabbing on about some cross-dresser is relevant. Typical leftist idiocy.

4. YOU MEAN JUDGE JOE BROWN AND JUDGE JUDY ARE THE SAME PERSON? NOW THERE'S 2 DUMBASS JURISTS.

6. Speaking of supper delegates, let us remember, in the 1960s
when the civil rights acts were passed that the voters would have never voted for that kind of a change. It took the wisdom of the party elders to do what was right for our country.

7. Another slow news day.
Just think, if he had been drinking and drove off a bridge killing his girlfriend, he could be elected to the Senate for the next 30 years.
And chink is making the point about a Bush appointee? Let's not investigate possible terrorists, let's investigate what clothes someone chooses to wear before appointing them.
I don't remember anywhere that the republicans claimed to be holding a lock on morality, but I do know that the liberals claim we should all be more tolerant.
Have you ever noticed that the least tolerant people are the ones preaching it?

8. Robert Byngham (#2) - My personal opinion is that Michelle Obama's comment was a slip of the tongue and a horrible mistake that she will regret for a long time.
Matt Jarzebosk (#4) - Progressives are willing to allow people to act as they see fit to the point of interfering in someone else's life. Neo-conservatives want to create a model for "proper" behavior. It is enlightening when they fail in their personal lives.
jscotthhi (#6) - agree on the slow news day comment. Separately, I have heard the neo-conservatives tell us over and how how to behave. And I have heard over and over that neo-conservatives behave just like the rest of us. What the liberals are doing is pointing out that the moral behaviors promoted by the neo-conservatives cannot be applied to society. I miss the old conservatives who focused on government's behavior.

9. I UNDERSTAND (I THINK) WHAT MRS. OBAMA MEANT ABOUT "REALLY BEING PROUD OF AMERICA". AMERICA IS CHANGING, FINALLY, AND TREATING PEOPLE OF COLOR IN THIS COUNTRY AS AMERICANS INSTEAD OF PEOPLE OF COLOR IN AMERICA. MR. OBAMA WILL DO MORE GOOD FOR AMERICA IF HE BECOMES PRESIDENT THEN POSSIBLY ANY OTHER PRESIDENT IN THE PAST. WE THE PEOPLE.
GOD BLESS AMERICA.

10. "These judgmental folks...I mean...they make you sick to your stomach." --Cenk Uygur
Gee, Cenk...sick to your stomach? Really?
Um...why? Because you "judge" them unfavorably?
You're right! Enough of the hypocrisy!
Paul at 10:50AM on Feb 20th 2008
11. Robert Byngham...
Clue up, hammerhead...Cenk isn't running for president...and (unless there's something we don't know about Cenk) he's NOT the wife of a presidential candidate. In fact, Cenk is just a lowly Internet journalist--a dime a dozen these days.
When the wife of a PRESIDENTIAL candidate says that she's never been proud of the country her husband wants to run, it becomes news.
Cenk ranting about some judge wearing the wrong outfit is just Internet tripe.

12. Is cross-dressing a crime? How then, does one become 'busted' for it? It is not being a hypocrite to keep certain aspects of one's life private--even if one is a public official. If public officials are not entitled to keeping some aspects of their life private, why does not the law require full disclosure? Why then, is it possible for an ordinary citizen to be charged with invading the privacy of such a person? If public officials are not entitled to any privacy, why does not the law just say so? People are being vilified for things that make no difference in terms of their ability to do the job and summarily punished for things that are not illegal. THAT is the real hypocrisy!

13. LMAO,
The fact goes unnoticed that while the comment could be made that liberals are more tolerant of alternative lifestyles, I would also put forth the notion that liberals are more HONEST about their lifestyles and not on some kind of sick, Larry Craig-like pseudo sexual coverup. Come to think of it, when's the last time we've seen W. and Laura together? Just as I wonder truly, who Karl's alter ego might be (one UGLY woman though, lol).....
So to those of you who don't think its funny....oh well. How the hypocrites so high and mighty in their judgement of others, fall pretty good on their own.

14. Paul,
I have to disagree. When the Republicans hold themselves up as conservative, moral, ethical, God-fearing Christians (especially compared to Democrats) then it is news when one of the fruits falls from the tree.
Misquoting Mrs. Obama is not only wrong but ethically, morally wrong. Speaking in Wisconsin today, would-be First Lady Michelle Obama said, "For the first time in my adult lifetime I am really proud of my country."
Add the word "really" and it changes the meaning of your lie.
RMWiersema at 11:37AM on Feb 20th 2008
15. "For the first time in my adult lifetime..."
In other words, "As an adult, I have NEVER BEFORE been genuinely (really) proud of my country..."
No lie. She opened her mouth and out popped a boner.
