‘Unintentional satire’: Michael McKean takes a shot at Sarah Palin

Arts & Entertainment

http://twitter.com/#!/MJMcKean/status/411309489552244736 What has actor Michael McKean invoking the Unintentional Satire Department? The link leads to a — gasp! — gold Sarah Palin medallion from Alaska Mint. What’s not satirical: a portion of the proceeds from the sale of the medallion will go to the Wounded Warrior Project, a service organization for wounded veterans of Iraq and Afghanistan. Not only that: the description of the medallion is decidedly nonpartisan: “This 1 oz. gold medallion honors Alaska’s Sarah Palin. As Alaska’s first woman Governor, she had a reputation of being against ‘business as […]

Sharyl Attkisson retweet best sums up her departure from CBS News [pic]

Arts & Entertainment

http://twitter.com/#!/Burning4Buddy/status/444409529002770432 Investigative reporter Sharyl Attkisson, who has relentlessly pursued stories such as Benghazi, Fast & Furious and the IRS scandal, announced earlier this week that she had resigned from CBS News. Politico reported that Attkisson “had grown frustrated with what she saw as the network’s liberal bias” as well as a lack of dedication to investigative reporting. Pulitzer Prize-winning editorial cartoonist Michael Ramirez pictured Attkisson’s exit from CBS only as he can: http://twitter.com/#!/kesgardner/status/444289965355057152 Excellent! And good enough for a retweet from Attkisson: http://twitter.com/#!/SharylAttkisson/status/444327500907569153 Just perfect! http://twitter.com/#!/BabyGirlHarlow/status/444332058794418176 She […]

Listen up, haters! Oliver Stone is sick of your smack-talk about Venezuela

General

http://twitter.com/#!/TheOliverStone/status/438336357979914240 Welp, that’s it, folks. Pack it in. Oliver Stone says that Venezuelan television doesn’t really censor voices opposing the government. Can’t argue with an expert, right? http://twitter.com/#!/TheOliverStone/status/438107493445550080 In a shocking (read: not remotely shocking) turn of events, Stone took some heat for his assertion. Which really, really hurt his feelings. Not only were people attacking him, but they had the gall to say mean things about his precious socialist paradise: http://twitter.com/#!/TheOliverStone/status/438335185034420225 All he’s trying to do is spread the truth — as he sees it in […]

What, exactly, has America denied for more than 200 years? http://twitter.com/#!/SeanFrances/status/440371771582066689 We’d love to know more, Congresswoman.

Can Wasserman Schultz find a Dem as sleazy as Jim Moran? Survey says: Hell yes!

Arts & Entertainment

http://twitter.com/#!/exjon/status/423455755975417856 DNC chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz hasn’t tweeted about the retirement announcement of Rep. Jim Moran (D-ouchebag). She’s a little busy squeeing about FLOTUS this morning. http://twitter.com/#!/DWStweets/status/423484931008774144 Perhaps she’s scrambling to find a Virginia Dem corrupt and despicable enough to fill Moran’s freak-show shoes? http://twitter.com/#!/michellemalkin/status/423471963613327360 Nah. No scrambling necessary. This one should be a breeze for Debbie. http://twitter.com/#!/realmyiq2xu/status/423456368096329729 http://twitter.com/#!/Bikeric01/status/423456779339436032 http://twitter.com/#!/DCDude1776/status/423457873990275072 http://twitter.com/#!/jmaysnc/status/423464873562222593 Exit burn: http://twitter.com/#!/kevinlicklider/status/423456513479675904 Related: ‘Morning in Yuppie Acres’: Could NRO’s Jim Geraghty replace retiring Jim Moran?

‘Stick to beer pong’: Vietor tries mocking scandals, makes Obama look stupid instead

General

http://twitter.com/#!/JohnEkdahl/status/477503656145592320 Tommy Vietor may no longer be NSC spokesman, but he’s still a crackerjack damage control specialist. Have a look: http://twitter.com/#!/TVietor08/status/477502591601885184 When in doubt, make a mockery of deadly scandals. Tommy is, like, so professional. http://twitter.com/#!/bfinstock/status/477504616280494080 Dude! Yeah, that’s him. http://twitter.com/#!/VodkaPundit/status/477507353835601920 http://twitter.com/#!/JimmyPrinceton/status/477504379071639552 Seriously. http://twitter.com/#!/SooperMexican/status/477505319916941312 The dude can’t help it. http://twitter.com/#!/back_ttys/status/477503998115590144 And he didn’t even list them all. http://twitter.com/#!/EdMorrissey/status/477503813029355520 Here are a few more to add to the list, broheim: http://twitter.com/#!/JammieWF/status/477509392384806912 OK, so he sucks at lists.

‘Just nasty’: What exactly is WSJ trying to suggest with this piece on Dave Brat?

Politics & Government

http://twitter.com/#!/Doc_0/status/476727326240432130 Oy vey. As Twitchy reported, lefties lamely tried to paint GOP Rep. Eric Cantor’s primary loss last night as evidence that the Tea Party is anti-Semitic. And for many conservatives, this Wall Street Journal piece by Reid Epstein isn’t much better: http://twitter.com/#!/hmfearny/status/476728120544727040 http://twitter.com/#!/Slublog/status/476726302326943745 See for yourselves: http://twitter.com/#!/Tyler_McNally/status/476724354987077632 Yeah?
