WH deputy press secretary nails the audition: Taliban not ‘terrorists’
Filed Under Uncategorized | 9 Comments

John Boehner invited Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to address a joint session of Congress about the threat from Iran. The White House said Boehner’s invite violated some sort of “protocol” (but referring to Netanyahu as “coward” and “chickenshit” doesn’t?). In any case, Obama won’t be meeting with Netanyahu when he’s visiting: Pres. Obama will […]

Filed Under Media, Religion, World News | 4 Comments
“The most trusted name in news” continues wiping their butts with that slogan. First up, Chris Cuomo, faced with having to describe a black person from another country, wasn’t quite sure what to do: Speaking of CNN dolts, not to be outdone, Christiane Amanpour referred to the murder-spree terrorists in France as “activists.” Would she […]
