Zandar's Thought Of The Day
If this is the new normal for the Tea Party right (and every indication that these inmates are indeed well ensconced in administration and day-to-day affairs of the asylum) then the next two years are going to be awesome.

The woman yelled out "Except Obama, except Obama, help us Jesus!" as Rep. Frank Pallone (D-NJ) read the "natural born citizen"...

Efficiency Of The DMV: Jon Stewart Mocks Congressional Reading Of The Constitution

He also ridiculed the reading of the U.S. Constitution on the House floor, saying “you managed to make the reading of one of our nation’s most treasure an...

Conflict Constitutionalists
As promised, the very reverent reading of the Constitution was staged in the hallowed halls of Congress today. The tragicomedic production was not without its moments of high drama. When they got to the "President shall be a natural born citizen" clause, a Birther in the audience burst out in an anguished solliloquy. Help us Jesus indeed. But the drama wasn't entirely confined to the gallery. The GOP went all PC on the script and decided on an abridged version of the Sacred Document, leaving ...

Jon Stewart introduces angry old man McCain puppet (Video)
Last night Jon Stewart sharply criticized Senator John McCain (R-AZ) in a lengthy segment of The Daily Show.  At one point Stewart and McCain were actually on good terms.  McCain was a frequent guest on the Daily Show, and while Stewart did not always agree with McCain he at least respected his principled stance on issues.  However, the relationship turned sour during the 2008 Presidential Campaign.  Stewart accused McCain of selling out on his values in order to try and win ...

Despite glitches, Constitution is read on the House floor
WASHINGTON — Republicans made history yesterday by staging the first-ever reading of the entire Constitution on the House floor. But that record may come with an asterisk: Democrats asked why original sections that later were amended, including references to slaves, were left out of the recital, and lawmakers initially did not catch that a couple of key paragraphs were omitted when two pages got stuck together. Disputes and glitches aside, Republican and Democratic lawmakers silenced thei...

Video: Democrat Congressman Protests Reading Constitution On House Floor
Of course he does. These Congresscritters take an oath to uphold a document that they detest and pass laws that violate it on a regular basis. So why the heck not just object to even reading it?
