From TPM:

Rising Republican star and well-known border hawk Sheriff Paul Babeu, who’s now running for Congress in Arizona, was hit Friday night with bombshell accusations from a Mexican immigrant who said he dated the sheriff for years and was threatened with deportation if he ever told anyone about their romance.

The Phoenix New Times newspaper broke the story on its website in a piece written by veteran journalist Monica Alonzo. The accusations came complete with text messages said to be between the two men as well as compromising photos purportedly of Babeu that are reminiscent of recent sex scandals that ended the careers of Congressmen Anthony Weiner and Chris Lee.

These Republican nut-suckers just don’t understand the internet do they? BTW, when is Todd’s boyfriend going to post pictures like this??? Just asking.

From The Guardian:

The Sun has been plunged into its worst ever crisis following the arrest of five of its most senior journalists over corruption allegations, moving Rupert Murdoch to pledge his support for the paper amid rumours that it faces closure.

The Sun’s editor, Dominic Mohan, said: “I’m as shocked as anyone by today’s arrests but am determined to lead the Sun through these difficult times. I have a brilliant staff and we have a duty to serve our readers and will continue to do that. Our focus is on putting out Monday’s newspaper.”

It’s just a matter of time before it gets to FOX “News” and all of those corrupt assholes.

Everyone already knew this but finally we have real proof. Republicans have low I.Q’s.

From Huff Po:

The study, published in Psychological Science, showed that people who score low on I.Q. tests in childhood are more likely to develop prejudiced beliefs and socially conservative politics in adulthood.

“Reality is complicated and messy,” he told The Huffington Post in an email. “Ideologies get rid of the messiness and impose a simpler solution. So, it may not be surprising that people with less cognitive capacity will be attracted to simplifying ideologies.”

That explains why the Palin family are all retards.

Wait until you hear the details of this one.

I’ll let this simmer a couple of days and let the Palins put out a big fat lie of denials put out a press release then we’ll lay the truth on you. See you in a few days.

Update: This will be a little longer than planned, but it’ll be worth the wait.

A dumber-than-a-rat’s-ass Todd Pain has endorsed Fig Newton so of course the teabagger ass-kissing network CNN is all over it.

So I gotta ask – Is Piper Palin’s endorsement next? And you going to be there live for us CNN?

Palin's Accomplice Loughner

One year ago today got an assist (to coin one of her basketball terms) in the murder of 6 people and the shooting of 14 others.

“The rhetoric and firing people up… we’re on Sarah Palin’s targeted list. But the thing is that the way that she has it depicted has the crosshairs of a gunsight over our district. And when people do that, they’ve got to realize there’s consequences to that action.”

Great job Sarah, mission accomplished. Now go fuck yourself!

From CNN:

The excised tumor weighed 180 pounds, according to the hospital, a bit less than the 200 pounds estimated before surgery.

The tumor “may return,” Guillon wrote in an e-mail to CNN, “but we can operate him again, and it won’t never reach such a size anymore.”

Yum. Dinner!

From HuffPo :

“I am a great admirer of hers, and she was a remarkable reform governor of Alaska. She’s somebody who I think brings a great deal to the possibility of helping in government and that would be one of the possibilities. There are also some very important cabinet positions that she could fill very, very well. I can’t imagine anybody that would do a better job of driving us to an energy solution than Gov. Palin, for example. Tell her that she would certainly be on the list of one of the people we would consider.”

Of course Fig Newt would never get anywhere close to getting elected but it sure would mean the biggest landslide ever in a presidential election. For Obama of course.
