McCain and Palin are laughing at the press -- and... →

WatchTina Fey as Sarah Palin and Amy Poehler as Hillary Clinton.
This is some seriously multi-leveled satire. They try to take on 2 kinds of sexism: the crap you get if you subvert feminine stereotypes (shrill, cankles, boner-shrinker, etc.) and the crap you get if you adhere to them (MILF, mommy, beautiful so stupid, etc.) and present them to a mainstream audience. It’s an impossible...

Forum sells 'Obama Waffles' with racial stereotype →
Activists at a conservative political forum snapped up boxes of waffle mix depicting Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama as a racial stereotype on its front and wearing Arab-like headdress on its top flap.

This is why I think that “The Daily Show” is the best show on television. Why can’t the “real news” call BS like this?
This is way, way, way, way, way too good not to reblog.

This is fucked. You’ll note the link goes nowhere. That was the URL to the story in which the site claimed Trig was Bristol’s baby, and which called Sarah Palin an outright liar.
I just lost a lot of respect for the Daily Kos.
Dishonesty from the Daily Kos!?!?!?
My stars! Heavens to betsy! Someone fetch the fainting couch.
