Second In Command Of Hijacked Ship Tells Limbaugh To STFU

Gotta love Shane Murphy.

"It feels great to be home," Murphy said. "With the exception of Rush Limbaugh who is trying to make this into a race issue. It's disgusting."

"The president did the right thing. It's a war. It's about good versus evil. And what you (Limbaugh) said is evil, that is hate speech. I won't tolerate it," Murphy said.

Now will the wingnuts side with a guy who they were calling a hero just a few weeks ago, or will they side with that asshat Rush Limbaugh?

Yes, its a rhetorical question.

Thats When You Know...

When Bernie Goldberg becomes the voice of reason for the right, thats when you know they have lost all credibility. His exchange in this MediaMatters clip with Sean "Hate Fest" Hannity could serve as a microcosm of the Republican Party right now. YOu have Goldberg who is an avowed batshit crazy wingnut trying to tell Hannity that even he is fed up with the irrationality of the right. And Hannity's response? Hands over his ears scream "nah nah nah nah nah".





I wonder if Rush Limbaugh is going to frag Bernie Goldberg today? Things are going to get really interesting on the right for the next 4 to 8 years. Hope you got your popcorn ready.

And Now Its Jonah Goldberg's Turn To Kiss The Ring

Poor Jonah "LIberals are Facists" Goldberg had the nerve...the unmitigated gall to give President Obama the faintest praise ever for the rescue of Captain Phillips and what did he get for his trouble? King Limbaugh brought the wrath to his ass today. And what did Goldberg have to say when Limbaugh challenged his Obama bashing cred?

I'm not listening. I have two pressing deadlines

And to that level of weaksauce I only have one question of Goldberg:



I can't wait to see Goldberg's shameless ass kissing to King Limbaugh tomorrow and begging of his forgiveness. Such is the heirarchy in wingnut world these days.

What Hoping For Failure Looks Like

I don't think any commentary is necessary.

Captain Phillips Has Been Rescued!

There are those who will try to make this a political situation but I would ask everyone just to take at least today to celebrate the fact that our Navy Seals were able to rescue Captain Richard Phillips from the Somali pirates. Captain Phillips' life is not a political football for anyone. Lets just be glad that this potential tragedy has been averted.

Statement from President Obama:

I am very pleased that Captain Phillips has been rescued and is safely on board the USS Boxer. His safety has been our principal concern, and I know this is a welcome relief to his family and his crew.

I am also very proud of the efforts of the U.S. military and many other departments and agencies who worked tirelessly to secure Captain Phillips's safe recovery.

We remain resolved to halt the rise of piracy in this region. To achieve that goal, we must continue to work with our partners to prevent future attacks, be prepared to interdict acts of piracy and ensure that those who commit acts of piracy are held accountable for their crimes.

I share the country's admiration for the bravery of Captain Phillips and his selfless concern for his crew. His courage is a model for all Americans.
