Bible Abuse Courtesy of ScrappleFace

Who would have thought that mishandling of the Koran at GITMO detention center would have caused Saudi Arabia’s leader to call for similar probes of Bible handling in detention facilities throughout the Muslim world?

Only ScrappleFace would have dreamed this up.

Yes, you heard that right. Howard Dean is accusing Republicans of being white. We most assuredly are not jiving you: Howard Dean–scion of Park Avenue, former governor of Vermont, a state that is 96.8% people of pallor–is faulting Republicans for being white, even though he himself is whiter than an albino polar bear with dandruff.

Janice Rogers Brown Confirmed after 2 Year Fight

In a display of class against racial politics, Janice Rogers Brown was finally confirmed by the Senate. The democrats in the Senate were obsessed with keeping a popular and intelligent black female judge from being named to the federal appeals court. They did not want a positive confirmation on her as she is on the short list to attain the Supreme Court. Now that she has been confirmed once by the Senate, it will be much easier if Judge Brown is nominated for the Supreme Court.

Most people would have blinked and ran in the face of the hatred and lies thrown at her, but Janice Rogers Brown was a lady throughout the process and emerged victorious.

From the AP

The Senate on Wednesday confirmed California judge Janice Rogers Brown for the federal appeals court, ending a two-year battle filled with accusations of racism and sexism and shadowed by a dispute over Democratic blocking tactics.

Senators quickly followed by ending another long-term filibuster, clearing the way for a vote Thursday on former Alabama Attorney General William Pryor as outlined in an agreement last month that averted a showdown that could have brought Senate action to a halt.

After giving Pryor a final vote and confirming two Michigan nominees to other appeals court posts, senators plan to leave President Bush’s other controversial nominees dangling, moving on to other matters after devoting a month to historic but exhausting debate over judges.

President Bush commended the Senate for voting to confirm Brown. “During her tenure on the California Supreme Court and California Court of Appeal, Justice Brown has distinguished herself as a brilliant and fair-minded jurist who is committed to the rule of law,” Bush said in a statement.

• Polipundit agrees that the Supreme Court is a good end point for her.
• Captains Quarters thinks the Democrats will queer the deal on Judges.

MoveOn.Org Protests …. WHOOPS!

When rabid liberal protect goes awry.

MoveOn.Org in their political haste to protest the office of U.S. Rep. Mike Rogers, R-Brighton forgot one minor and what turned out to be important tidbit of information. They were all set to protest Representative Rogers because of his ties to embattled House Majority Leader Tom Delay.

The one thing they forgot … THEY HAD THE WRONG MIKE ROGERS.

Baahahahaha.

The group came armed with financial records from a Web site that detailed various financial contributions between the two Republicans, including a $20,000 campaign contribution from DeLay to Rogers as well as a $5,000 contribution by Rogers to DeLay’s legal defense fund.

However, the Mike Rogers involved was not the Michigan congressman, but rather Rep. Mike Rogers, R-Ala.

What made it even better was the following:

It’s unfortunate that they made an error,” said Bill Rittenberg, a protest organizer.

Democrat Bob Alexander, who ran against Michigan’s Rogers in 2004, also participated in the event.

“It’s unfortunate that we had this inaccuracy,” Alexander said. “We didn’t attempt to mislead anyone.”

Yes, we at MoveOn.Org do not try to mislead we’re just to stupid and lazy to check the facts ourselves.

I like Lorie’s take on it from PoliPundit.

I mean, all those white, Christian, Republican men do look alike, don’t they? One Congressman Rogers is from Michigan and the other from Alabama. So close. Anyone could have made the mistake. I really feel sorry for the huge crowd of twenty protesters that showed up.

Yeah Lorie, all 20 of them. You see one monolithic Republican named Rogers, you’ve seen them all. I guess not.

The White “Ho”

Oh my, this is way too funny. So much for MSM editing. So what does MSNBC really think of Norah O’Donnell?
