Retiring Health and Human Services head Tommy Thompson: "For the life of me, I cannot understand why the terrorists have not attacked our food supply because it is so easy to do." I was going to do a satirical exaggeration until I looked again and saw my parody words were merely a rephrasing of what he really said. It reminds me of the days after Sep11 when San Francisco Mayor Willie Brown was upset that the terrorists didn't attack San Fran. We have this nice beautiful bridge and this pyramid building that's a major landmark, the Coit tower, and so on... we're feeling left out! At least blow up the ugly green Coke bottle at China Basin, it's a friggin' eyesore...
Hey, Bush, say something stupid. Thank you. Now the Moslem world knows that Pakistan is the model of "democracy" which Bush seeks to bring to all of them. That's good, Bush, but it's not humiliating enough. You probably don't even realize how dumb that was what you said. Could you get into an even more embarrassing situation? Great! Yeah, going to a photo-op to have your moral values heralded by a guy who gets picked up the next day for statutory rape is quite the embarrassment. Quite the shame, indeed, that this jerk is getting sexed up by teenage girls and I'm not...
Quick, we need something anti-semitic! Bill O'Reilly, help us out! Yes, tell the Jews that this country is for Christians and if they don't like having someone else's religion pushed down their throat, they should leave. That's just common gutter bigotry, though. We need something so mind-blowingly stupid and ignorant that it takes someone of the highest stature, like a Supreme Court justice, to say it in public. Hooray, Antonin Scalia!

What do you mean Pakistan isn't a model of democracy? Musharraf may have appointed itself president, sure. But at least he gave the Pakistani people an opportunity to vote for him, and with a 97% approval rating, I might add.
