Damn, she's good

Now, THAT'S funny

Somehow, I don't think Michelle Obama is going to consider Sarah Palin a model in how to respond to unfunny jokes.

A prominent South Carolina Republican killed his Facebook page Sunday after being caught likening the First Lady to an escaped gorilla.

Commenting on a report posted to Facebook about a gorilla escape at a zoo in Columbia, S.C., Friday, longtime GOP activist Rusty DePass wrote, "I'm sure it's just one of Michelle's ancestors - probably harmless."

Busted by South Carolina political blogger Will Folks on his FITNEWS blog, DePass told WIS-TV in Columbia, "I am as sorry as I can be if I offended anyone. The comment was clearly in jest."

Then he added, "The comment was hers, not mine," claiming Michelle Obama made a recent remark about humans descending from apes. The Daily News could find no such comment.

The Republican Outreach campaign continues.

"Thunder and Lightening"

Dowd and Brooks. Wow. Or, should I say, shoot me?

Biden his time

So sue me, what can I say?

Anywhoo, as we speculate who Obama's VP pick might be, Publius reminds us of this precious moment from the Democratic debates:




Funny and foreign policy chops...a two-fer.

By and Bayh

Sorry, couldn't resist.

Interesting events happening in Elkhart, or just more Obamania?

I do have to say I was impressed with Bayh's appearance on Fox News going toe to toe with Deputy Dawg. I haven't read any reactions on it, but for once, a Dem didn't take GOP talking points lying down. Lieberman looked pissed.

Or, is he too skinny, too?

UPDATE: And Bayh may be more progressive then he's given credit for.

Whaddya mean, "slander?"

"If there had been such a tape..."
