Ah, a successful military operation culminates in the rescue of a heroic US captain who gave himself up so that his crew could go free. The operation involved a Navy SEAL team, and apparently resulted in the deaths of 3 of the 4 pirates. Great news! Right? Well, NO. Not if you are a denizen of Free Republic. Follow me, if you will, into the outraged and lunatic minds of those on the fringe.

UPDATE: Since this diary was originally published, it's come out that the video clip I linked to below was a hoax, and that John Gibson did not make the comments suggested in the clip. So, John, I owe you an apology. I still don't really like you, or your network, but you didn't make the comments as they were portrayed.

Well, here we go. Apparently we're going to need federal legislation to prohibit conservatives from even discussing monkeys, using the word "monkey" or any such thing because for the 2nd day in a row we have a conservative, this times the horrible John Gibson of FOX News, putting his foot into his mouth and down his throat with a comment suggesting that a notable African American is a monkey.

Don't believe me? Watch the following clip

To: Harry Reid
From: GOP
Re: Thanks!

Hey, Harry, just wanted to drop you a quick note of thanks for your work so far on this auto bailout thingamajig. We know it's a tough time of year, and wanted to acknowledge that your foresight and planning have not gone unnoticed over on this side of the aisle.

First off, we really appreciate it that you didn't take some advice from your more aggressive colleagues and attach a politically minded name to this bill, like the "Save American Jobs 2008" bill, or the "Protect America's Military Capacity 2008" bill (more on that later), or anything like that. Frankly, the media just loves those names, and once the public starts thinking about it in those terms, we're really sunk. We've been pushing this "bailout" language for quite a while, and honestly we were beginning to worry that it was getting stale, so God knows it was a big help to see you and your colleagues adopt the "bailout" word as well.

A NY Times profile on the Udall cousins (Mark and Tom), storied Democratic officials from the West, and both with active Senate campaigns, buries an interesting and very disappointing nugget of information way down deep: the two Udalls, despite runnings as Democrats, will support Gordon Smith (R-OR) in his campaign against challenger Jeff Merkley. The reason? He's their cousin.

Here's the relevant passage:

This is my very first diary. I'm sorry to say that it's not a long, eloquent, passionate argument against some vexing political question.

That is not to say, however, that it is not without utility. Behold, then, as I present to you the ONE QUESTION that, if asked of Hillary Clinton, will end this absurd gas tax holiday nonsense once and for all.

Here goes...ahem...
