Why do rightie pundits have to talk so stoopid?

Michael Medved used to be fun, back when he was co-writing those Golden Turkey Award titles and cataloguing all things bad and cinematic. Then he went all bonkers and became a wingnut and started talking about gay subtext in kiddie movies. And now? With the Virginia Tech tragedy, he has has added his name to the ever-growing list of right-wingers making pathetically stupid statements. Quick, someone 'splain to Mikey that Cho Seung-Hui was not a terrorist. A sick, disturbed murderer, yes, but not a terrorist. Just like a cartoon penguin is not a deviant gay homosexual, a socially isolated psycho-killer is not the same thing as a terrorist.

There's a bright side to all this, however. At least Medved doesn't hate the victims, like so many of his fellow righties do.

The system is designed to handle 1.5 inches." This isn't quite as appalling as last year's 9-day Queens blackout--you know, the one where Con Ed lied about the number of places without power--but it still in...

Some perspective, please

Yes, President Obama isn't perfect. Yes, he should just close Gitmo already. Yes, it would be great if he'd act on his campaign promise of more transparency in government. But c'mon, people, he's not another George W. Bush. A quick comparison of their administrations will show this. Criticize the guy, sure, but let's not pretend it's still 2005, hear?
