Jenny Sanford Still Willing To Forgive
Mother Theresa, move over. Even after her husband said he “crossed the line” with other women, after he said that his mistress was his soul mate and he’d “try to fall back in love” with his wife, Jenny Sanford says she’s willing to forgive. The First Lady of South Carolina issued a statement, some of which reads:
I am willing to forgive Mark for his actions. We have been deeply disappointed in and even angry at Mark. The Bible says, “In your anger do not sin.” (Psalm 4:4) In this situation, this speaks to the essence of forgiveness and …

You’re automatically a bad person if you’re pro-choice, says the former head of the CIA’s bin Laden unit, who adds that the Democratic Party stands for killing babies, slavery, and secession. This comes on the heels of his comment on FOX News that our only hope as a country is for bin Laden to attack us again.
Scheuer also believes Obama doesn’t care about protecting the country.
COLMES: You don’t think the President of the United States, Barack Obama, cares about protecting this country.
SCHEUER: No, I don’t. Because I don’t think he realizes what the world …

Pulling no punches, New York Post columnist Linda Stasi has the most devastating piece on Michael Jackson I’ve seen. While most of the world waxes poetic and ecstatic about his genius and his contributions to society, and his friends talk about his love for his children and goodness, Stasi has the opposite view.
a drug-addled, creepy-beyond-words, accused pedophile who literally bought his children with the help of two brood mares and, apparently, his dermatologist — a group of amoral savages who had no problem giving their kids to a man who looked like the Phantom of the Opera and who …

Unlike Oklahoma Senator James Inhofe, Minnesota Senator Al Franken got paid to be a clown. Inhofe is supposed to be a respectful United States senator, and yet here is his statement on Al Franken to Tulsa World:
“I’ll tell you what a lot of people are thinking, and that is it looks like things are going to be over and we are going to get the clown from Minnesota,’’ he said.
Inhofe, a climate change denier, said no disrespect was intended.
“I didn’t mean to be disrespectful. I don’t know the guy, but … for a living …

Lt. Dan Choi will fight to stay in the military after a Syracuse, NY army board recommended that he be the first person to be dismissed from the New York’s National Guard for violating “Don’t Ask Don’t Tell.” Cho’s offense? He said he’s gay.
But he said he refuses to lie about being involved in a relationship with another man. Choi said the relationship has made him a better person, a better Christian and a better officer.

Oklahoma state legislator Sally Kern, who earned the “Wingnut of the Day” monicker here, deserves credit for showing up on my radio show last night. Rightwingwatch is on the case and shares some of the good stuff.
Kern insists that what gays really want is to destroy marriage so that they can legalize polygamy and pedophilia, saying that the push for gay marriage is just the beginning of the effort to “take away the Bible.” She claims that the government is “being intolerant of those who hold Biblical views” and that what she merely wants is “laws that …

Governor Sanford, I beg of you, please stop waving God and the Bible in everyone’s face. We get it. You’re a pious, righteous person trying to do God’s will. God didn’t want you to tell the whole truth at that news conference; He wanted to keep you in a fresh news cycle. God didn’t want you on the Appalachian Trail. He wanted you in Argentina. God didn’t want your state or your wife to know where their governor/husband was. And God wants you to stay away from your soul mate and “try to fall back in love” with your wife.…
