Short Takes

You Made Reagan Cry. You bad, bad wingnuts, look what you've done!

Macaca Part Deux? George "Macacawitz" Allen might go after John Warner's senatorial seat if he retires, or perhaps the Virginia governorship in '09. This is just too good to be true; somebody pinch me.

Rahm Says No Colbert. Rahm Immanuel tells freshman Dems to avoid The Colbert Report, yet not a peep from him about Dems holding a debate on Fox News. Let me get this straight: comedy show not okay, but hatchet hack job okay? There's Rahm logic for ya.

Four Years. Next Monday marks the fourth year of the Iraq invasion. Think Progress has the timeline of this shameful blot in our nation's history. Current military deaths in this war? 3,206. Iraqi civilians? Countless.

It Becomes Her. Jean Schmidt wears bile on the outside, matching the overwhelming bile inside.

Spiritual Cleansing. Mayan priests cleanse a Guatemalan spiritual site after Bush visit. Simple bleach can't clean out that bad mojo, ya know.

DeLay Attacks Newt. "Clearly, men with such secrets are not likely to sound a high moral tone at a moment of national crisis", says Delay of Newt's philandering. Ohhh, catfight, catfight!

Chiquita Terrorista. Apparently your banana spending money went to pay a Colombian terrorist group and the Swift Boat Vets, courtesy of Chiquita owner and huge GOP supporter Carl Lindner.

Feel That Economic Surge. The new report from the Center for Economic Policy and Research shows 1 in 3 jobs is low-paying with no benefits. Guess they can't afford a ride on that skyrocketing net worth wingnuts are crowing about. Such losers, those working poor.

Poor Miss Anne. At least nine papers have dumped the Shameless One. Maybe their readers can take only so much of throwing up in their mouth reading her.
