John Kerry: Renewing His "Anti - US Troops" Dumbass Status

News Flash: The "smartest man in America" has stepped in it - yet again! Just when one starts to wonder if John Kerry has finally learned to mind his words, he is right on time - just like the world-famous time-pieces from that French-speaking, historically pacifistic alpine country in which young Kerry spent one of his formative years attending that exclusive elitist school (where he got reeeeeeeeeally educated).

Of course, I'm speaking of this monumentally offensive faux pas from our (self-styled Vietnam) hero during a campaign event in California:

"You know, education, if you make the most of it, if you study hard and you do your homework, and you make an effort to be smart, uh, you, you can do well. If you don’t, you get stuck in Iraq."

Yes, that is a direct quote and in context. Ya' just couldn't beat this one - even with an imaginary well-placed, intentionally spun "Rovian" misquote! And it's even better when you watch the video!

Ya' think he might be just a tad bit elitist? Can he honestly believe that our modern military is made up of folks who either washed out or didn't go to college? Does this moron ever look at things like statistics? Here is a little something special...just for YOU from our troops (click here)

Understandably, the veritable excrement has impacted the propeller on this one. But instead of nipping this thing in the bud with a quick "Oops - sorry, that came out completely wrong!," our featured Dumbass decided to go to war against those who called him out. In a hastily called news conference in Seattle yesterday, Kerry defiantly trumpeted:

"I apologize to no one for my criticism of the president and of his broken policy. If anyone owes our troops in the fields an apology, it is the president and his failed team."

Of course, his spin on this (latest) Freudian moment:

"(It was) a botched joke about the president and the president's people, not about the troops ... and they know that's what I was talking about."

Then, if that wasn't bad enough, he decided to act really tough on his Republican detractors - especially the White House Press Secretary Tony Snow:

"This is the classic GOP playbook. I’m not going to be lectured by a stuffed suit White House mouthpiece standing behind a podium."

And of course, there was this little tidbit:

"Despicable Republicans are afraid to stand up and debate a real veteran on this topic. And they're afraid to debate — you know, they want to debate straw men because they're afraid to debate real men."

Earlier today, on the radio program Imus in the Morning:

"(I am) sorry about a botched joke."

Then, after an army (sorry, couldn't resist!) of politicians from both sides of the aisle swarmed him like flies on (Heinz) ketchup, Kerry issued this half-baked written apology on his website:

"As a combat veteran, I want to make it clear to anyone in uniform and to their loved ones: My poorly stated joke at a rally was not about, and never intended to refer to any troop. I sincerely regret that my words were misinterpreted to wrongly imply anything negative about those in uniform, and I personally apologize to any service member, family member, or American who was offended."

It only took the man two days of throwing a tantrum to finally realize it was flip-flop time (again). You know, reminiscent of that famous Kerryism from the 2004 campaign:

"I voted for the 87 Billion, before I voted against it."

And what about this "combat veteran" and "real men" stuff. Is it really wise for this traitorous Hero of Hanoi to bring all of that up again, given the legions of real heroes and their personal accounts of John Kerry's battlezone lies, self-promotion, command ineptitude, self-injury, falsified medal citations and the ultimate abandonment of his unit less than six months into his tour? And what about the POWs who paid the price for Kerry's illicit meeting with the Hanoi delegation in Paris, propagandizing of the Vietnam War, throwing his (self-awarded) medals at the Capitol steps, or that other public statement he made in 1971 that played so well over North Vietnamese and Cambodian airwaves - in which he claimed his fellow G.I.s:

"...raped, cut off ears, cut off heads, taped wires from portable telephones to human genitals and turned up the power, cut off limbs, blown up bodies, randomly shot at civilians, razed villages in fashion reminiscent of Genghis Khan, shot cattle and dogs for fun, poisoned food stocks, and generally ravaged the countryside of South Vietnam in addition to the normal ravage of war, and the normal and very particular ravaging which is done by the applied bombing power of this country."

Which reminds me of another statement made by this Dumbass less than a year ago, where he stated:

"There is no reason ... that young American soldiers need to be going into the homes of Iraqis in the dead of night, terrorizing kids and children, you know, women, breaking sort of the customs of the -- of -- the historical customs, religious customs."

Hmmmm...my Dumbass Pattern Detector just went off. It would seem that our erstwhile hero has a habit of making such statements against our own military - and yet he would have us believe otherwise. Sounds kinda' like your standard Liberal politician, who gets scared and changes position with every slight gust of hot air.

Not much of a real man, after all...certainly not the kind that is invited to campaign events for fellow Democrats hoping to get elected. In fact, it turns out that Kerry has been yanked from the campaign trail completely. Or is he too busy with his lawsuit against the Swift Vets and POWs for Truth, and the authors of the book and subsequent movie that revealed the level of his treachery, Stolen Honor.

In all seriousness though, Senator Kerry, thank you so much for being you. Without question, you are the gift that keeps on giving to the Republican party - and if the GOP manages to hold onto both houses next Thursday, you will definitely be part of the reason. You have again shown what your elitist party is all about. My only hope is that you become your party's candidate again in 2008 so we can see what a much more prepared and organized mix of veterans organizations have in store for you.

Michelle Malkin's "Hot Air" segment is a must see on all of this!

"The View" of a Rosie Cheeked Dumbass

Well, the "Queen of Nice" (now morphed into the "Queen of Mindless Liberal Babble") has done it again...this time within a week of starting a brand new TV gig. As the new co-host (notice I didn't say "co-hostess") of "The View," no one could have imagined a replacement that might make many viewers pine for the return of the almost-equally-ridiculous Starr Jones. That is, until Rosie opened that gaping maw and did what she does best these days...made an ass out of herself (see the upper right-hand image on this page! ;-).

Now, I am not about to jump on the bandwagon out there that is calling her some unsavory and insensitive things that make fun of her excessive weight, homosexuality, or other nonsense. Those are not among the reasons that I have awarded Rosie the coveted DOTW Crown!!! I honestly have no problem with homosexuality - but in Rosie O'Donnell's case I think it germane to point out that a "lady" like her might just be as revolting to most men as they are to her. Some otherwise poor slob out there should be on his knees thanking God that he did not have to put up with this one!

Oh right...about God. According to her comments made on the most recent installment of this televised estrogen-fest, Rosie wouldn't like that "God" comment very much! In fact, it would seem that she finds Christians as disgusting as she does men.

"Radical Christianity is just as threatening as radical Islam in a country like America where we have separation of church and state."

Hon, what planet have you been living on? It would seem to me ROSIE that, were you to practice your particular sexual preference in, say, Iran, you would be anything but popular, well-paid, happy...or perhaps even alive. I don't see any Christians knocking down the gate to your Hollywood mansion looking for a stoning of the "sexual deviant." What, don't like that turn of phrase? Well, you would soon learn it in the Muslim world - and likely in Arabic or Farsi (Persian).

You see, Rosie O' has now decided that having come out of the closet, she can be EXACTLY who she is...which is anything but the Queen of Nice. I would further argue that she is not the Queen of Research, the Queen of Logic nor the Queen of World Events in any capacity.

Like many Liberals, O'Donnell espouses the constitution and our supposed "loss of civil liberties"...and yet has a massive problem with the Second Amendment. That is, unless it is her bodyguard carrying the weapon, as was the case in 2000 when he entered her adopted child's school parking.

"You are not allowed to own a gun, and if you do own a gun, I think you should go to prison."

Even futher back, while she was still considered "nice," Rosie was working hard on her unhinged persona that we now know a love (to laugh at). According to "Wikipedia:"

"In 1999, O'Donnell interviewed actor Tom Selleck, who was promoting a film. During the interview, in what some critics perceived as an "ambush," O'Donnell confronted him about his stance on guns and his involvement with the NRA, making it an infamously tense TV moment. The interview was controversial as according to Selleck, the two agreed not to discuss the topic prior to his appearance on the show. She maintains that he and his publicist had been informed that the topic would be discussed."

"Also in May 1999, Bernadette Peters and the rest of the cast from Annie Get Your Gun was to appear for taping and perform the song "Anything You Can Do." O’Donnell insisted that the line "I can shoot a partridge with a single cartridge" be removed from the song. Peters refused, and the cast sang a different song without Peters. Later in 1999, O'Donnell discontinued her contract with Kmart as their spokeswoman, because of her opinion of the large retailer's sale of firearms."

Like many celebrities, Rosie O'Donnell did not finish college, has never held a political office nor has she served in the military - yet she feels qualified and compelled to dictate policy and military doctrine to the rest of us. Her lack of qualifications and penchant for putting her foot squarely in it reminds me a bit of a few other Celebrity Dumbasses who have graced this site in the past (see Chazz's tributes to Ben Affleck , Alec Baldwin, Susan Sarandon, Donald Sutherland and Kanye West).

To wrap this up, I will repeat myself from previous posts. If you are a singer (as in Dixie Chics' Natalie Maines), just S.T.F.U. AND SING ALREADY! Same goes for other celebrity performers...so Rosie, here is my advice: Keep your idiotic and childish politics to yourself and TRY to be funny again! Seems to have been quite some time since you were.

Adam Yehiye Gadahn - "American Al-Qaida" Dumbass

Let me just start with the obvious - here we have a(n) (obviously) disillusioned young man of 28 who seems to suffer from the Madonna school of (badly) affecting foreign accents. In her case, it is supposed to be an English accent she is impersonating (remember, Madonna + Acting ain't exactly Cheese + Crackers); for Adam, he is (vainly) attempting to emulate his Islamic thug heroes. In both cases, they make themselves look foolish - especially to those they are trying to fit in with.

Just days before the 5th anniversary of 9-11, Adam (a.k.a. "Azzam the American") Yehiye Gadahn made his second big-time appearance - with his new pal, Al-Qaida's number two Ayman Al-Zawahir - on a videotape released on an Islamic militant web site earlier this month. But unlike his July 7th debut, in this 48-minute video he was given a much more starring role - suggesting that Al-Qaida believes him to be someone who can communicate effectively with Americans (DOH! Revisit first paragraph IRT communication skills).

Zawahiri had simply opened the segment with a brief introduction to the video and a call to Americans to convert to Islam. (Yeah, I'll get right on that, Ayman buddy).

This sad and confused lad Adam actually delivered something like a lecture in the video, chastising Christians and Jews in "Bush's crusades" while praising the successes of his new idols in Iraq and Afghanistan and at times directing his comments to U.S. troops. Some snippets of Adam's "recruiting pitch" to the Soldiers:

"Instead of killing yourself for Bush ... why not surrender to the truth (of Islam)? Escape from the unbelieving army and join the winning side. Time is running out so make the right choice before it's too late...."

"You know that if you die as an unbeliever in battle against the Muslims you’re going straight to Hell without passing GO ... You know you’re considered by Bush and his bunch of warmongers as nothing more than expendable cannon fodder ... You know they couldn't care less about your safety and well-being."

According to the Associated Press:

"Gadahn grew up in rural simplicity on a ranch southwest of Hemet, California. His father, Philip, said he moved there in the 1970s to escape the noise and traffic of the city, changing the family name from Pearlman because he was starting a new life...

--His family name was "Pearlman"? Imagine that...

"The family tried raising goats as a business, but it wasn't profitable and they now keep them just to eat the grass around the home as fire protection."

--I wonder what may have happened if the Pearlmans got a lawnmower and made their shiftless son mow the friggin grass! And growing up with all those goats just had to have an affect on the poor boy...d'ya think he dated any girls? (Naaahhhhh....

"Gadahn (chose to) move to the suburbs of Los Angeles where he became a Muslim and worshipped at the Islamic Society of Orange County. The mosque later expelled him for attacking one of its leaders."

--They were probably making fun of his fake Arabic accent. Kids can be SO CRUEL!

From an MSNBC article, dated May 27, 2004:

"Gadahn was home-schooled at the family farm in Riverside County. He did not attend college. Omar said the family was a 'more or less Christian household, but no one was particularly religious.'"

--Home schooled by a Jewish familiy that was suffering a crisis in both identity and religion? No chores? No college? Goats for friends? Jeeeeez...no wonder this plump fuzzy-cheeked young'un turned out to be such a messed up Freakazoid!

So "Azzam" disappeared from the U.S. soon after the 9-11 attacks in 2001 - perhaps because he thought those burning towers he saw on his television while petting his goat and scarfing cheese-fries was a vision from Allah?

In 2004, the FBI announced it was seeking Gadahn in connection with possible terrorist threats against the U.S. But by the looks of our soft, erstwhile countryman, I would not expect to see him take up arms or explosives for his newfound cause anytime soon. Those American Soldiers he presumed to lecture to might not play as nice-nice as those meanies in the California mosque who kicked him to the curb.

No, Azzam will enjoy his shortlived celebrity / pariah status until he is no longer deemed useful, and I predict he will be abandoned as unceremoniously by his new handlers as a torn sandal in a Baghdad alley; left with just the "pariah" thing to live - or die - with.

Kofi Annan - International Dumbass of Mystery

Don't ya just love this guy? Here is the Secretary General of the United Nations, Kofi Annan, who couldn't be clearer about his hatred of the United States if he were to throw excrement out of the windows of his lush U.N. office onto the New York City streets below.

Evidence of his anti-U.S./Israel stand, along with his sheer ineptitude, has followed this tribal son of Ghana. Tainted by such trivial annoyances as:

• Sexual harrassment investigations of his staff


• Huge (millions and billions in U.S. dollars) bribes to his son and representatives of several nations in the Iraqi Oil-for-Food Program


• Allegations of U.N. personnel committing rape and theft in Africa
  
• Strong condemnation of the Danish "Mohamed Cartoons" and luke-warm comments concerning Islamic anti-Israel cartoons and articles
  
• Ass-kissing Iran, Syria and Hezbollah

Sorry, but I think this weak and ineffective leader really needs to go. He is either cashing in or repaying favors in United Nations corruption. At every opportunity, Annan just loves to blast the U.S. and Israel.

Kofi Annan, at a news conference in Tehran:

"On the nuclear issue, the president (of Iran) reaffirmed to me Iran’s preparedness and determination to negotiate and find a solution to the crisis." He added that Ahmadinejad had told him Iran "does not accept suspension (of uranium enrichment) before negotiations", as demanded by the U.N. Security Council.

All of this just two days after Iran thumbed its nose at the world. Am I crazy, or does it not seem that the esteemed leader of the United Nations got his ass kicked in all of this? Perhaps he would have done better sticking to his appeasement, er, talks with the "nation" of Hezbollah?

I'm TAKING OVER!

Just to let you folks know, Chazz has decided to give up the blogging life due to family and professional concerns (understandable, as I am still on blog-vacation myself).

Anyhow, as I am currently rebuilding my blog Righting America at this time, and I was quite actively involved in this site anyhow (design and image hosting), it seemed natural to simply take over for my friend Chazz.

Therefore, I will be assuming Dumbass Of The Week and doing some site tweaking over the next few weeks. Look for this site to go active again, along with my Righting America site, some time in August if the reconstruction of both sites goes well.

Thanks to Chazz for all of his work in building up the readership in this site, and I hope that I can do him proud. Best of luck to you my friend, and come visit us often!

Timmer

Like the Duck Says in the Commercial: "AFFLECK!"

Ben Affleck is full of surprises. On the positive, he is an Oscar Winner for his collaboration with his (much more talented) childhood friend Matt Damon in "Good Will Hunting." He has even bedded such notable babes as Gwyneth Paltrow, Jennifer Lopez and Jennifer Garner - with whom he remains. For now.

Recent Ben-Quote on Bill Maher: “(President Bush) probably also leaked Valerie Plame’s name and so if he did, you can be hung for that! That’s treason! You could be killed. That’s not a joking around Tom DeLay ‘I’ll do a year, I bribed the state officials with corporate money.’ That’s like they shoot you in the battlefield for doing that.”

But Affleck is also surprising in other, not so positive ways. For an Oscar Winner, the guy really stinks as an actor and is lucky to have had Damon's coat-tails to hold onto. I mean, come on! Pearl Harbor? Dare-Devil? Gigli? The guy who seemed to have such promise has been forced to look at other avenues. Poker? Okay - why not. Screen-writing? Hey, if it's better than his lame acting it's all good. Politics? WOAHHHH there Benny!? Let's look at that for a sec.

Didn't make it into Harvard with Matt, so he went to the University of Vermont - lasting one semester. He then got clearance from his Mom to fly off to Hollywood, so long as he stayed with family friends and got back into college. He lasted a year at Occidental College in Eagle Rock, CA before finally giving up on higher education. So much for the educational groundwork for politics.

While trying to help the Gore campaign in 2000 "get out the vote," Ben was so busy telling people to make sure and get to the polling stations in time that he never actually got around to voting himself (ya gotta love the Smoking Gun!).

In an interview with GQ magazine, Affleck had this to say:

"My fantasy is that someday I'm independently wealthy enough that I'm not beholden to anybody, so I can run for Congress on the grounds that everyday people—be they singers or poets or bankers or lawyers or teachers—should be in government."

Now is it just me, or did he equate becoming "independently wealthy" with "everyday people" in running for office? Certainly, his candidate for 2004 John Kerry would qualify - for one of those anyway. And doesn't it seem like Ben's support is sorta' like the kiss of death to these guys? Hmmmm. Here are some other choice quotes from our famous and not-so-bright Dumbass Of The Week:

"I'm always described as 'cocksure' or 'with a swagger,' and that bears no resemblance to who I feel like inside. I feel plagued by insecurity."

Looking at some of these gems of wisdom, I can see why!

"My mother gets all mad at me if I stay in a hotel. I'm 31-years-old, and I don't want to sleep on a sleeping bag down in the basement. It's humiliating."

Hmmmmm - the Mom thing again. I see a pattern developing here....can you say "Momma's Boy?"

"Yes, I'm going to be the President of the United States. You know why? You think you can get chicks by being in the movies? You can really get chicks by being the President."

Hey, don't laugh! This DUMBASS is actually thinking of running for Virginia Senator (Democrat, of course) in 2006 against incumbent George Allen. Hey, I SAID DON'T LAUGH!!! Just because Ben Affleck could not debate a pimple on Allen's ASS does not mean that people are not stupid enough to vote for him.

Rep. Cynthia McKinney "Racing" to be Our Dumbass!

In a story that just keeps getting better and better, Georgia Democrat Cynthia McKinney shows her "true colors" in an extraordinarily transparent attempt to get away with assaulting a white Capitol Hill police officer. She's not just "playing a race card" - it would seem that her entire hand is made up of them!

For those who somehow don't know, last Wednesday Congresswoman McKinney attempted to skirt a security checkpoint while entering a House Office Building - without her congressional identification pin and despite repeated calls from the policeman manning the post to stop. After the cop stopped her progress with a hand on her shoulder, McKinney lost her temper - then SLAPPED THE COP!

Since then, the Capitol Police Force have asked the Federal Government to issue an arrest warrant for assault - which is still pending at this time. McKinney, scrambling to counteract this looming threat to her political career, has decided to invoke her perceived God-given right as a black woman to play victim of a "racist white cop."

Her first public statement about the incident - before learning of the planned arrest warrant: "Earlier today I had an unfortunate confrontation with a Capitol Hill Police Officer....I was urgently trying to get to an important meeting on time to fulfill my obligations to my constituents. Unfortunately, the Police Officer did not recognize me as a Member of Congress and a confrontation ensued. I did not have on my Congressional pin but showed the Police Officer my Congressional ID. I know that Capitol Hill Police are securing our safety, that of thousands of others, and I appreciate the work that they do. I deeply regret that the incident occurred. I have demonstrated my support for them in the past and I continue to support them now."

ALMOST sounds like an apology - but not quite accepting responsibility for her actions. Reading this, you wouldn't think she had actually bitch-slapped a cop.

On the defensive - from her (civil rights) attorney James Myart on Thursday: “Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney, like thousands of average Americans across this country, is, too, a victim of the excessive use of force by law enforcement officials because of how she looks and the color of her skin. Ms. McKinney is just a victim of being in Congress while black...Congresswoman McKinney will be exonerated.”

Does this remind anyone else of an impetuous young child, who smacked another child for no reason and is now desperately trying to shift blame to that child for something much worse? What, are we FIVE?!

In a statement posted to the internet (which she has retracted and/or denies), McKinney wrote: "Do I have to contact the police every time I change my hairstyle? How do we account for the fact that when I wore my braids every day for 11 years, I still faced this problem, primarily from certain white police officers"

Now, I ask you gentle readers -- compare the image in this article with that in the "Dumbass" graphic at the top. Seems to have changed her hair from Alfalfa to Buckwheat, her make-up from Oprah to Whoopi. Am I wrong? Would you have recognized this woman (out of 535 Capitol Hill politicians) blowing past YOUR checkpoint without her Congressional Pin?

She has cried out for assistance from the ACLU, Danny GLover, Harry Belefonte, and the entirety of the Georgia Black Whiners Society (or whoever they are) and others, because this incredible moron is just smart enough to realize one thing -- she could go to jail for smacking a cop. But the SILENCE IS DEAFENING from the forty-something other black members of Congress. NOT A SINGLE ONE has stepped up to help her out on this one!

Hey, you can't make this crap up any better than this - but it gets even better.

A local Atlanta news station found something else! "Channel 2 Action News has uncovered documents showing McKinney, D-Ga., spent about $1,000 of taxpayer's money to fly singer Isaac Hayes to Georgia to help dedicate a new office in Atlanta. The money came from a fund members of Congress are supposed to use for office supplies. (This is a) violation of strict congressional rules..."

Of course, McKinney's staff has immediately come forward to say that they will reimburse this fund for this "oversight."

In all of this, I have been very curious as to what exactly was this idiotic woman's almighty hurry on a Wednesday afternoon? What does she do, exactly, in order "to fulfill (her) obligations to (her) constituents?" Here are two examples of this Congresswoman's "important works:"

1) Chaired a Congressional hearing last year "on whether the Bush administration was involved in the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001."

2) Introduced into the House of Representatives the Tupac Shakur Records Release Act of 2006 "for the purpose of fully informing the American people about the history surrounding the life and death of ("gangsta" rapper) Tupac Amaru Shakur."

Had enough? Many of the folks in the Fourth District of Georgia have too. According to one outraged constituent:

"She has long been known for things like advocating for disastrous Zimbabwean dictator Robert Mugabe who ran white farmers off their land, turning the country from a breadbasket to a basket case; cozying up with and receiving campaign donations from all kinds of terrorist sympathizers; indulging in the anti-Jewish hatefest at an infamous conference in Durban, South Africa in 2001 even after the U.S. withdrew most of its participation; and for having a blatantly anti-Semitic father in the Georgia State Legislature whose prejudices just may have rubbed off on her."

Hmmm - all this kinda' makes you wonder. Going back to the incident on Wednesday, who exactly is the racist? A diligent Capitol Hill Policeman - who happens to be white? Or a joke of a congresswoman who considers herself above the commoners - who happens to be black?

Alec Baldwin ~ Radio DUMBASS

Fleeing from a radio talk show like a little girl whose pigtails had been pulled, Alec Baldwin showed his true colors last night after Sean Hannity and Mark Levin called in to have a nice "chat" with him. After several minutes of mutual bashing between the three, Baldwin apparently decided that he could dish it out - but just couldn't take it. Host Brian Whitman, of New York's WABC radio (770 AM), tried unsuccessfully to get him back.

Listen to the FULL MP3 CLIP HERE.

Sean Hannity was trying to get Baldwin to defend his outrageous comments against U.S. Leaders during a time of war - and obviously meant to invoke that famous Alec Baldwin temper-tantrum...which he eventually did by exchanges such as this:

HANNITY: Alec, I wanted to give you an official WABC welcome considering you were supposed to come on my program last week and you didn't show up. What happened?

BALDWIN: No, I wasn't supposed to come on your program, Sean Hannity.

HANNITY: No, actually you were supposed to come on the program because a deal was made with your agent that if you were going to come on with Brian, first you'd come on with me.

BALDWIN: I wouldn't dream of coming on your program, Sean Hannity. I'm here with Brian. I'm here with a really talented broadcaster.

HANNITY: [Crosstalk] that you are, you don't tell the truth.

BALDWIN: Why would I want to come on the show with a no-talent, former construction worker hack like you?

HANNITY: Are you the guy that said of our vice president, while we’re at war, while we’re leading troops in harm’s way – are you the reckless, third-rate Hollywood actor who said that Dick Cheney is a terrorist? Are you the guy . . .

BALDWIN: Yes I am.

HANNITY: ... who said to stone Henry Hyde to death? Are you the guy who said our president is a CIA mass murderer? I wanted you to come on the program and defend that, you gutless coward.

Wow. Sounds like Movie-Boy Alec has a big problem with construction workers. I wonder what Harrison Ford - former carpenter/framer and MUCH bigger actor - might have to say about that?

It gets even better when Levin joins in the fun. He points out Baldwin's extra weight, his 2-digit IQ (?) and, after Baldwin dubs him Hannity's "Cabin Boy," Levin pronounces Baldwin as "Brokeback Alec."

Finally, after Baldwin takes another shot at construction workers, Levin asks a very flustered and angry Baldwin "Why was your [former] wife [Kim Basinger] so pissed off at you, anyway?," that was all poor Alec could take - so he stormed out of the studio.

Some other choice Alec Baldwin quotes:

“I think my exact comment was that if Bush won it would be a good time to leave the United States. I'm not necessarily going to leave the United States.” What? Need some help packing those bags?

“Bush wasn't elected, he was selected - selected by five judges up in Washington who voted along party lines.” You mean the United States Supreme Court? Who would be better to rule on a contested U.S. presidential election - Judge Judy?

“I don't want to go all over the map here, but where is the protest against this war when almost on a daily basis, someone is dying over there?” Umm, WAR? - look it up, Einstein. Unlike your movies, people actually die in these things.

"Ms. Basinger has so contaminated this child now that she doesn't even want to be with her father” What - she told your kid the truth about her psychotic, megalomaniacal wife-beating father?

“I feel I'm two people: I have my interest in acting and I have a lot of other political interests I'd like to pursue.” Well, I would say stick to the acting - but you don't seem to be doing much of that these days. Hey, maybe "Err America" could use a savvy radio-guy like you!?

Susan Sarandon ~ A DUMBASS To Portray a DUMBASS

Attending a Moonbat-studded event yesterday, called "Bring 'em Home Now," Queen of the Moonbats Susan Sarandon announced that she would be bringing (fellow Moonbat) Cindy Sheehan to the Silver Screen. Alert the Media - THIS sounds like NEWS!

While the two fawned over each other at the event, other nutcases gave interviews and performed - Michael Stipes of R.E.M. and MOBY, among other famous flakes. A bit on Sheehan - apparently she has been signed for a reality series on the Sundance Channel. Also, her letters to President Bush inspired "Peace Mom," a one-woman monologue show in London (Vagina Monologues beware!). A memoir is in the works for next month, too. Yipee!

But back to our DUMBASS Sarandon, who will be portraying this "grieving mom" (who, it turns out, hasn't even ordered a gravestone for Casey) in this movie project. Sporting a Bachelors in Theater Performance, this brainiac is notorious for running her mouth about things she knows naught of - including the war in Iraq.

In fact, she seems to have a problem with the Democratic Presidential Hopeful - the August Hillary Clinton.

"She seems to be a very bright woman. I've met her. But she's lost her progressive following because of her caution and centrist approach. It bothers me when she voted for the war."

In futher comments on Hillary:

"There were brave people who didn't vote. She's not worse than other politicians, but I hoped she would be better. What America is looking for is authentic people who want to go into public service because they believe strongly in something, not people who are trying to get elected."

Well, she won't get much argument from me there. Too bad I can't just leave it there, but here are some of her thoughts on Politics:

"All film is political. I think The Nutty Professor was incredibly political. It gets you to root for that guy to stay fat; it redefines what it means to be a man. You only call movies that challenge the status quo political. But really every movie reinforces myths and 'isms' - sexism, ageism."

Wow...that's pretty deep, Suzy! And I'm glad to see you have insight into what it means to be a man. Brilliant! And on Activism:

"Imagination and empathy are the two tools of my profession. And that's the basis of activism. If you can imagine yourself as a mother whose child is in this circumstance, how can you not act on that? So, it's just who I am. It's who I've always been."

Hmmm...so she plays "make believe" to form her views on subjects!? I wonder what inspiration she drew from "Rocky Horror Picture Show?" But to be fair, the aging actress (60 this year) looks pretty good after all of those cosmetic surgeries - with nary a wrinkle. I wonder if they will have to "undo" any of those facelifts, botox treatments, lipo-suctions or chin-tucks to make her as hideous as her new pal Cindy? Hey, remember Charlize Theron in "Monster?" They can do this stuff...and perhaps they should name THIS movie "Monster II!?"

Phelps Protesting at G.I. Funerals ~ Dumbass with a Deathwish

Every now and then, someone comes along who makes it easy for just about everyone to hate them. Fred Phelps is such a man.

As the leader of the small (most are his family) and radically anti-gay church from Topeka Kansas, Phelps has been trying to get noticed since the mid-90's, when he and his followers took to protesting publicly against gays. Back then, he would seek out funerals of those who had died from A.I.D.S. and stage a protest.

As if that wasn't bad enough, now this group has taken a turn that I find much more despicable. They have begun to protest at funerals of our returning war dead - holding up signs (that should read "Kick my ass - I'm an IDIOT") with statements like "Thank God for IEDs" and "God Hates America." They claim to be protesting against the military for allowing gay servicemen - which are allowed in the service so long as they don't get caught having gay sex and/or don't tell anyone about their sexual orientation (another Clinton brainchild this one).

Now I don't know about you, but if my son, daughter or sibling had been killed in action and, during their funeral, this group showed up? There would be some bruised and battered congressioners running around in Kansas. This guy should be locked up in a small cell with Luis Farrakhan -then throw away the key! (And yes, I would pay to see that footage!).

Jay Bennish ~ Another Moonbat Teacher

~Guest Writer Timmer of Righting America

Man, what is it with Colorado educators? Taking a page directly from the Ward Churchill playbook, Moonbat High School Teacher Jay Bennish was having a great time lambasting the United States, President Bush and Israel to his 10th grade "World Geography" class at Overland High School in Aurora, Colorado - this in the week following the President's State of the Union address. What he didn't count on, while trying his best to misshape young minds, was young Sean Allen and his trusty MP-3 player.

After recording approximately 20 minutes of "quality education" from his teacher, Sean brought the cut home and played it for his Dad, who subsequently got no action from school officials and ended up taking the tape public. The proverbial excrement has since impacted the fan and, in the words of Mr. Bennish, here's a little taste of the "why:"

"He started off his speech (speaking of President Bush's State of the Union address) talking about how America should be the country that dominates the world. That we have been blessed essentially by God to have the most civilized, most advanced, best system and that it is our duty as Americans to use the military to go out into the world and make the whole world like us. Sounds a lot like the things that Adolf Hitler use to say."

What was that class he was teaching again... "World Geography??" Not History, Social Studies, Civics or Political Science - but World Geography?

"We're the only ones who are right. Everyone else is backwards. And it's our job to conquer the world and make sure they live just like we want them to. Now, I'm not saying that Bush and Hitler are exactly the same. Obviously, they are not. Ok. But there are some eerie similarities to the tones that they use. Very, very "ethnocentric." We're right. You're all wrong."

"Ethnocentric?" Bush? Now I would just love to hear him defend that assertion to any reasonably educated, news-savvy adult. But I guess it's much easier to brainwash the young. I can just imagine Doctor Condoleezza Rice walking into the classroom at just that moment.

"So, why does Mr. Bush think that other countries that are democracies won't wanna be like us? Why does he think they'll just wanna be at peace with each other?! What makes him think that when the Palestinians get their own state that they won't wanna preemptively invade Israel to eliminate a potential threat to their security just like we supposedly did in Iraq?! Do you see the dangerous precedent that we have set by illegally invading another country and violating their sovereignty in the name of protecting us against a potential future--sorry--attack?"

Well Jay, historically (I realize this is a bit out of the Geography realm), true democracies don't generally make war on each other. And since when was the invasion of Iraq illegal? Was it an act of war for Iraq to fire upon our aircraft over the No-fly Zone virtually every day? Was it an act of war to attempt an assassination of a former U.S. President? Did we not go to our own Congress and the United Nations before the invasion? Did we not give Saddam every chance to avoid war? If this Geography teacher was presenting a balanced picture, he might have included these arguments for his students to make up their own minds. Guess not.

And here is young Sean engaging the Moonbat (he should get an "A" for classroom participation!):

Allen: "But is it ok to say it's just to attack Israel? If it's ok to attack known terrorists, it's ok to attack Israel?"

Bennish: "If you were Palestinians, who are the real terrorists? The Israelis, who fire missiles that they purchased from the United States government into Palestinian neighborhoods and refugees and maybe kill a terrorist, but also kill innocent women and children. And when you shoot a missile into Pakistan to quote-unquote kill a known terrorist, and we just killed 75 people that have nothing to do with al Qaeda, as far as they're concerned, we're the terrorists. We've attacked them on their soil with the intention of killing their innocent people."

Allen: "But we did not have the intention of killing innocent people. We had the intention of killing an al Qaeda terrorist."

Bennish: "Do you know that?"

Allen: "So, you're saying the United States has the intention to kill innocent people?"

Hey, I like this kid! Seems to me he held his own against a quasi-educated Moonbat teacher pretty well - not bad for 16! And the GREAT thing is, after the dust-up over this recording, a certain World Geography teacher was forced to take administrative leave. Word is, he has lawyered up courtesy of the ACLU - that's the "American Civil Liberties Union." But the true question is this: Who's civil liberties were violated here, if not the students who deserve a non-biased education?

Louis Farrakhan Wants to Burn America!

He's BACK!!! In what can only be described as his signature Bald-faced Racism and Hatred, Louis Farrakhan joined up with a veritable Rogues Gallery of African Americans (who also happen to be Dumbasses) Sunday afternoon as he condemned America for an audience of thousands at the ironically named "Saviors' Day," which this year was also touted as the "State of the Black Union 2006." If THIS is the state (of mind) of Black America, then the works of truly great Black Leaders (all of whom are now gone) was all for nothing. Zero.

Other Leading Dumbasses at the Hatefest included Danny Glover, Al Sharpton, Joe Lowery and Harry Belafonte.

"You are a weak nation now and your country has been taken from you by the synagogue of Satan. They own Congress. That's why the Congress ain’t right," Farrakhan said, referring to his conspiracy theory that Jews control the United States.

(Somehow, Farrakhan gets away with phrases like "synagogue of Satan." God forbid a Jew should reference "Mosques of Malevolence" - or even cartoons for that matter.)

Here are some choice snippets from this Master of Dumbasses:

"You may not like me and I really don't give a damn!"

No, Louis. I really don't like Lima Beans. But given the opportunity, I would not stick my Size 11 straight up the ass of just any offensive vegetable. You are in a different league entirely, Killer.

"Condoleezza Rice doesn't speak for us, she speaks for Halliburton and George W. Bush."

You doggin' out Condi Rice is akin to Danny DaVito calling Silvester Stallone a pussy. Doctor Rice has reached the pinnacle of academic and professional achievement while leading a life of public service. You, on the other hand, have earned millions inflaming racial hatred and playing upon the despair of the poor.

"America must be burned! America is no good at all....can't you open your eyes and see the house is burning? ...The house must burn!"

So, let me get this straight, Louie - you want to BURN AMERICA? The country in which you rose to wealth and fame (infamy?) by simply pissing people off at one another? Why would you want to burn such a place? Your hate-riddled ass would have been poor, and then dead or jailed pretty much anywhere else in the world. Dumbass.

"Did they promise us 40 acres and a mule? Did they fulfill it?"

Okay Killer, you win. Here is your 40 acres and a mule. What? You don't want it now? What do you mean you never worked an honest day in your life?

"Ah yeah, they are going to hate what I say and accuse me of teaching hate, but I’ll die on what I say."

We can only hope. Stop teasing!
