Alan Simpson, the Republican co-chair of President Obama’s debt commission, decided to go on another rampage yesterday: The co-chairman of President Obama’s deficit commission tried to scold the elderly on Monday for complaining about their Social Security funds being targeted, but instead he found himself making a reference to “Snoopy Snoopy Poop Dogg.” “This is […]
Yesterday Sarah Palin finally addressed Limbaugh’s use of the word “retard” and as expected, she approves! PALIN: I agree with Rush Limbaugh. He was using satire to politically correct — WALLACE: He used the “r” word. PALIN: He used satire. Name-calling by anyone, I teach this to my children and you teach it to your […]
