Lanzo put up a sign that reads “Obama’s plan for health-care: N*&%*r rig it.”

CBS Atlanta’s Michelle Marsh asked Lanzo why he put up the sign.

“I’ve been putting up signs for 22 years and I’ve put up all kinds of political signs,” said Lanzo.

GOP In Denial On Gay Issues

As President Obama addresses the Human Rights Campaign, it’s against the backdrop of a Republican Party that can’t even bring itself to acknowledge that a well-documented murder was, indeed, about the victim’s sexual orientation.  Iowa Congressman Steve King says the murder of Matthew Shepard had nothing to do with him being gay.

KING: And the Matthew Shepard case, there’s been a fair amount of information that came out that that really wasn’t the motivation of the people who killed him, but they did receive the maximum penalty under the law.

Sarah Palin Book Editor Once Co-Wrote Book Mocking Her

Laffy has it. Adam Bellow anonymously co-authored a quickie paperback called Terminatrix: The Sarah Palin Chronicles.

[The book has] a cover featuring a Photoshopped governor in skin-tight leather and brandishing an automatic weapon—is a sophomoric send-up of Palin and her family, featuring digitally altered images and derisive captions, and packaged in a 5-by-7-inch, 96-page trade paperback. A representative gag: Palin’s face superimposed on a painting of Joan of Arc, with the mocking commentary: “In between junior high and high school, Sarah heard God’s call to save France.”

Another doctored photo—with the caption “Sarah Palin won the …
