John McCain's (R-Ariz.) Senate re-election campaign got a boost Wednesday from former Florida Governor Jeb Bush, who endorsed the Arizona Republican.
"As we continue to face tough challenges both at home and abroad, America needs leaders like Senator John McCain in the United States Senate," Bush said. "John is a proven conservative leader committed to reducing taxes, fighting wasteful spending and keeping America safe."
Jeb Bush joins a list of conservative superstars backing John McCain's tough primary battle against former Arizona congressman and popular talk show host J.D. Hayworth. Among those on the list: potential presidential contenders former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney and former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty, and fresh-faced champions of the right, Sen. Scott Brown of Massachusetts and Gov. Bob McDonnell of Virginia.
With over 100 advertisers (and counting) abandoning Glenn Beck's show, it's obvious that what's left is the dregs of the world, like these guys. But the gold dealers dominating the ranks of his advertisers have new competition:
Yup. All those Beck viewers are suckers, because their gold stockpile will be worth less than seeds! But that's not all! You know how Obama wants to steal your guns and shit? That's not all he's trying to confiscate! 
Phew! That's a relief. Because as we all know, the Second Amendment protects an American's right to bear arms ... and seeds! Then again, no seeds are truly indestructible. They are, after all, living things. The Glenn Beck patriots can't just wait for the apocalypse, and then plant them in the ground.
Of course, they don't need to wait long. Obama is obviously a one-termer, so will need to trigger the end of the world before Sarah Palin can take him out in 2012. So we're pretty much talking two years before the End of Times. Better to start planting now, before the first nukes strike.
They they better hope the apocalypse happens during rainy season, because it'll be tough to irrigate a whole acre without electricity. (And that's assuming they don't need municipal water.)
On the plus side, they won't have any trouble with fertilizer.
p.s. Given that they are a Glenn Beck advertiser, this should go without saying, but yes, they're a scam.
Socialist. Death panels. Downright evil. Those are just some of the talking points Sarah Palin uses to describe the Democrat's health care plan. Well, I wonder if she was quite so outspoken when she was in Canada receiving medical attention?
She said that her family used to go to Canada to get medical care when she was growing up. And she admitted that she found that "kind of ironic now." Well, it's more than ironic, it's downright hypocritical.
It's time we stop letting Republican propaganda define our health care policy.
I'm tired of seeing this debate framed by Republicans like Palin, who are more interested in protecting the health insurance companies than they are in bringing better health care coverage to millions of Americans.
It's time to fight back.
As a vice presidential candidate, Sarah Palin condemned Venezuelan president Hugo Chavez as a "dictator" and called for "energy independence ... to allow us to be less and less reliant on someone like Hugo Chavez." Venezuela, one of the top suppliers of oil to the United States, "wanted to use energy sources as a weapon" under Chavez, she said.

As a long time reader and fan of your blog (since 2001), I'm becoming increasingly annoyed at what appears to be an obsessive focus on showcasing Israel's warts. I think Goldblog made the argument that Israel has become for you the Sarah Palin of countries. Indeed. For instance, what was the point in posting that al Jazeera piece on the Mossad? Is it really newsworthy or surprising that the Arab press publishes a story painting Israel in a militaristic and overly nationalistic light? And, on the substance of the piece, is it really news that 18 year old boys get excited by covert/spy/assassination intrigue? Or that some Israeli entrepreneur decided to capitalize on it for a short term gain? As if none of this occurs in this country or every other?
I offer the following from the perspective of someone appalled by the Wieseltier hit piece on you: when you post items like this, day after day, and nearly all of which focus on everything negative about Israel regardless of context, you give people the impression that you are an Israel-hater, notwithstanding your protestations of love when someone challenges you on it. And while I cannot, and will not, excuse the accusers, it is inescapable that responsibility for these accusations, to some extent, lies with you.
Personally, I don't think you have an Israel problem, so much as an obsession problem. But I know this because I've been reading you a long time. I get your obsession, and, quite frankly, is one of the reasons you are fun to read. But obsession has its downside, especially when it sweeps nuance and complexity under the rug, and obscures your true thoughts about an issue.
The bottom line is that your blog, as it relates to Israel, has become almost indistinguishable from the true Israel-haters. And that, unsurprisingly, invites the attacks, including the unfair and disgusting ones. And then you react by digging in deeper in the obsession. And this brings us further and further away from discussing the issue honestly and in a real way.
Public celebrations of assassinations by intelligence agencies is not exactly irrelevant in the week when the US is trying to restore some basis for the peace-process, which Tzivi Lipni says is a matter of great urgency. Highlighting what I believe to be a disturbing and accelerating trend toward religious fundamentalism, xenophobia, contempt for Arab life, militarism and illiberalism in Israel is something the Dish will continue to do, especially since this is a country which every American tax-payer subsidizes and which could, if such attitudes keep intensifying, hurtle the world into a world war. And the idea that this is the only coverage of Israel is belied by the record. May I suggest this post from yesterday which, at great length, offers what I hope is a very nuanced view of the US-Israel relationship and the current moment.
To argue that this blog this week has moved us away from an honest debate is, in my view, unfounded. Yes, this blog has passions - torture, gay rights, Iraq, the Green Revolution, the Pet Shop Boys, beards, etc. But somehow a post-Gaza concentration on what on earth has happened to Israel is the only one deemed illegitimate.
Once -- and possibly future -- presidential candidate Mitt Romney is urging Tea Party members not to run as third party candidates.
Romney told Newsmax that running as a third party candidate would split the Republican Party -- a "divide and fall" strategy -- and would "hand over the country to Barack Obama and Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid, and that would be very sad indeed."
Romney is not the first prominent Republican to try to dissuade Tea Party members from seeking office under a third-party mantle. Earlier this year, Sarah Palin called for the GOP and Tea Party to merge:
Definitely, they need to merge. I think those who are wanting the divisions and the divisiveness and the controversy -- those are the ones who don't believe in the message. And they're the ones, I think, stirring it up. We need to ignore that and we need to forge ahead with a cohesive message. It's a common sense message.
Romney also said that the Tea Party will greatly impact the 2010 midter elections. "I'm really pleased that the silent majority is silent no longer," he told Newsmax.
Sarah Palin's recent statement that, presumably during her childhood, she and her family used to cross the border from Alaska into Canada to take advantage of Canada's health care system is not really a gaffe or a verbal slipup, but offers an interesting insight into Palin. It is not exactly surprising, or even"ironic", to use Palin's words that somebody who has made a name, and a great deal of money, for herself by linking health care reform to some kind of socialist bogeyman, used to take advantage of socialized medicine.
Speaking to a Canadian audience and reminiscing about traveling to Canada for health care as a child is the kind of thing we might expect from a progressive supporter of health care, seeking to stress the need for a better health care reform system in the US. Had, for example, Anthony Weiner made this comment while on the Canadian side of the border near New York, you can be sure that Fox News, Rush Limbaugh and, yes, Sarah Palin would be seeking to red bait him out of the congress. There will, of course, be no such consequence for Palin.
While it is easy to point out the absurdity of somebody who has a child was made aware of the shortcomings of the American health care system, spending so much energy fighting against the need to change that system, or to mock Palin for seeming to be unaware of just how telling this statement is, it also suggests a few of her political strengths.
From the time she became a national figure slightly more than 30 months ago, Palin has been, political opinions aside, a confounding mix of political positives and negatives. She is clearly an effective communicator who is able to connect with audiences, albeit within a somewhat limited demographic bandwidth. She has been reasonably successful in turning her most glaring political weakness, her seeming lack of knowledge of public policy, into a strength. She has done this by constantly reasserting her identity as an outsider to explain this away. Like former President Bush, Palin is rarely burdened by any doubt or sense of nuance so is able to appeal to voters seeking clear, concise and accessible explanations, regardless of if they are wrong.
Palin's ability to turn weaknesses into strengths makes her a potentially formidable politician, but she is weakened by an unwillingness to truly prepare, study or learn. She has been able to hide this by challenging her critics, but one wonders how much more effective she would be if she immersed herself in the study of even a small number of issues.
This latest episode plays very well into Palin's strengths. It is easy to imagine that in the unlikely event that she was challenged for her statement, she would reply that she is not a Washington insider who studies everything her opponents say waiting for a gaffe, but is out there talking to real people. She would avoid the question of how she evolved from a young person who left the country due to the weakness of the American health care system to a middle-aged person who believes that changing that system puts us on the road to Stalinism by asserting her outsider status.
The likely lack of fallout around this issue underscores another of Sarah Palin's surprising political strengths. Although she has been surrounded by bad stories and mini-scandals for about thirty months, including: attacks from former aids to John McCain, reports of spending extraordinary amounts of RNC money on clothes and makeup, an unexpected resignation from her position as Alaska's governor punctuated by an almost surreal resignation speech, various issues regarding her family and her one time son-in-law to be and others, none of it has ever really stuck. Palin is a polarizing figure; and will likely remain that way as long as she is on the national stage, but she is also something of an unsinkable one.
A key to Palin's resilience may have been revealed in this latest comment. To Palin it was a throwaway line, good for building a folksy rapport with a Canadian audience. Referring to this as "ironic" is sufficiently cryptic that it is not clear what that even means, but it is clear from her lack of effort to distance herself from this remark that Palin is not really aware of how revealing this admission is. Palin is a complicated political figure, but she may be of less off an ideologue than first thought. Clearly, a true right wing ideologue would probably not have made this revelation. The informality of Palin's revelation, and her seeming lack of understanding of what it meant, suggests that for Palin, the right wing populism, while fun and easy, is not really grounded in anything other than the advancement of Sarah Palin.

Sarah Palin took to her Facebook page Friday to defend a Navy SEAL from south suburban Blue Island who is accused of mistreating an Iraqi terror suspect along with two of his fellow servicemen.
Petty Officer 1st Class Julio Huertas of Blue Island is accused of mistreating Ahmed Hashim Abed, the alleged mastermind behind a 2004 ambush and murder of four American security contractors whose bodies were burned. Two of the victims were hung on a bridge over the Euphrates River. The SEALS captured Abed in September.
Special Warfare Operators 2nd Class Matthew McCabe and Jonathan Keefe have been charged along with Huertas. McCabe is accused of punching Abed, and all three were charged with dereliction of duty for failing to safeguard the detainee.
Rather than accept a reprimand, the sailors chose to fight the charges in a military court, the Associated Press reports. Since the charges were filed, many lawmakers came forward defending the sailors. Palin's Facebook note was the latest:
"First the Obama Administration opened up the possibility of prosecuting CIA interrogators doing their jobs seeking information from terrorists," Palin wrote. "Then they tried to go after the Bush Administration lawyers who acted in good faith to protect us in the months after 9/11. Now some of the military brass are court-martialing three brave Navy SEALs for allegedly throwing a single punch at Iraqi terrorist leader Ahmed Hashim Abed. This is wrong. The Washington Times got it right: Save the SEALs."
In December, Rep. Duncan Hunter, R-Calif, circulated a letter in the House calling the charges against the SEALS "an overreaction by the command," AP reported in December.
Hunter told the AP the men could lose their rank, spend one year in confinement, get a bad conduct discharge and forfeit a portion of their pay for up to a year if the charges are not dropped.
"These brave warriors belong in combat, not in the courthouse," Palin wrote. "They captured the most wanted terrorist in Iraq. We may never know how many other heroic missions they undertook on behalf of our country. The charges should be dropped, and they should be returned to their unit - with our gratitude for their service."
About 20 lawmakers have already signed Hunter's letter to Defense Secretary Robert Gates.
"It appears from all accounts that these SEALs are exceptional sailors, demonstrated by the fact that each had recently been advanced in rank," Hunter's letter said. "They captured a terrorist who had planned an attack that not only killed Americans but also maimed and mutilated their bodies."

Along with championing the deregulating of industry, the Republicans have also sought to deregulate grammar.
With "How's that hopey-changey thing comin'?" my revulsion for all things Republican congealed into a small, tight knuckle lodged somewhere between the fight or flight and porn quadrants of my brain. Hence, I now refer to Sarah Palin as "Lady Ga Ga Goo Goo".
From insipid, misspelled "protest" signs ("Get a clue, morans!") to the nod and wink denials of rampant racism being at the core of their most recent rebellion, the Repugnikooks continue their seeping jihad on all things cultured, demonizing "smart" as elitist.
There are far too many cringe inducing moments of chowderheaded chop-logic, lazily researched poll results and incomprehensibly articulated talking points being given the spotlight courtesy of a happily complicit media, a conscious synchronicity between its shrewd barkers and the drooling freaks who strive to give voice to rage they couldn't begin, in their dumbed-down state, to understand; for if they did they would surely turn their righteous anger against the true villains. But alas, the blatant infantilization which is steadily defining our wounded discourse has moved me to declare my utter and outright disdain:
Vomity ass heads and crappy poo-poo pants!
Since McCain lost the election to Obama in 2008, there’s been no shortage of woe-is-me attacks from Sarah Palin, who’s made sure to repeat a series of canned talking points about how McCain staffers have unfairly portrayed her as ruefully unprepared and diva-like.

Sarah Palin went to heart of Canada's oil and gas development sector this past week to congratulate Canada on finding the right balance between economic growth and energy security.

Florida lawmakers want to lure movie makers to their state with various tax incentives ... assuming they're the "right" kind of movies:
Florida’s Entertainment Industry Economic Development Act would revise the current incentive program — which already offers a tax credit worth 2% of a movie’s production costs if it is “family friendly” — to specifically exclude movies that depict “nontraditional family values” from receiving the additional credit. Here is the relevant provision:
…Family-friendly productions are those that have cross-generational appeal; would be considered suitable for viewing by children age 5 or older…and do not exhibit or imply any act of smoking, sex, nudity, nontraditional family values, gratuitous violence, or vulgar or profane language. Under the current incentive program, review of the final release version is not required and nontraditional family values, gratuitous violence, and implied acts do not exclude a film from receiving this additional credit.
State representative Stephen Precourt, whose district includes Disney World, says the purpose of the credit is to encourage movies to depict cinematic life from the 1960s. “Think of it as like Mayberry,” Precourt told the Palm Beach Post News. “That’s when I grew up — the ’60s. That’s what life was like. I want Florida to be known for making those kinds of movies: Disney movies for kids and all that stuff. Like it used to be, you know?”
What a 5-year old can handle is the new standard for movie-making? And leaving aside Precourt's dream of returning to Mayberry, who is he trying to kid? Murder and mayhem have long been Disney movie staples.
National Republican Senatorial Committee Chairman John Cornyn (Texas) on Monday all but expressed his regret for getting behind Florida Gov. Charlie Crist (R) last May in the Sunshine State's open-seat Senate race.
"I endorsed Gov. Crist early on, really before this became a real [primary] contest," Cornyn said at a press conference at NRSC headquarters. "I'm not going to do anything to change that. I think I'm honor-bound to leave it as it is. It doesn't mean we're going to be spending any money in the primary. It doesn't mean we're going to be saying anything bad about" his primary challenger, former state House Speaker Marco Rubio (R).
Quite a change from what Cornyn had to say when he originally endorsed Crist:
Governor Crist is a dedicated public servant and a dynamic leader, and the National Republican Senatorial Committee will provide our full support to ensure that he is elected the next United States Senator from Florida.

Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin -- who has gone to great lengths to hype the supposed dangers of a big government takeover of American health care -- admitted over the weekend that she used to get her treatment in Canada's single-payer system.
"We used to hustle over the border for health care we received in Canada," Palin said in her first Canadian appearance since stepping down as governor of Alaska. "And I think now, isn't that ironic?"
The irony, one guesses, is that Palin now views Canada's health care system as revolting: with its government-run administration and 'death-panel'-like rationing. Clearly, however, she and her family once found it more alluring than, at the very least, the coverage available in rural Alaska. Up to the age of six, Palin lived in a remote town near the closest Canadian city, Whitehorse.
Officials at several hospitals in that area declined to give out information on patient visits.
Whoops, Sarah Palin said something that sounded "folksy" and "commonsensical" when she thought of it that turned out to be an explicit endorsement of liberal policy. Did you know that she used to take advantage of socalized medicine?
Speaking in Alberta, Canada (which is, according to the old cliche, Canada's Texas—because they have oil and love guns) Sarah Palin accidentally tried to relate to her audience of conservative Canadians who love their government health care.
The vocal opponent of health care reform in the U.S. steered largely clear of the topic except to reveal a tidbit about her life growing up not far from Whitehorse.
"We used to hustle over the border for health care we received in Canada," she said. "And I think now, isn't that ironic."
You know... the fact that the woman who popularized the "death panels" smear for a private sector-driven moderate reform of the American health care industry used to go to Canada to take advantage of their single-payer health care system actually is kind of ironic... right?
The closest Canadian city is 15 hours away from Wasilla. So it's not like they popped by for cold medicine on the way home from snow machining.
Update: Ok, it appears that this was when Palin lived in "Skagway, Alaska," which is much closer to Canada. Her brother hurt humself and they put him on a "train" (???) and sent him to Canada for the socialism. Sigh.
She touched on climate change, saying that her skepticism has been proven by several recent controversies and that money shouldn't be spent on "pie-in-the-sky, snake-oil ideas."

Who is "she?"
She is Sarah Palin.
Sarah "Death Panels" Palin. Sarah "Socialism" Palin.
Sarah Palin's freeloading family used to border-hop for Canadian socialist, single payer, death panel health care for themselves, only to return to the U.S., where she grew up to dedicate herself to denying affordable care to you, largely by hoping you'll believe that the Canadian health care she crossed the border to get sucks so badly, it'll kill you.
Oh, not to mention the favorite Republican claim that passing health care reform in this country will supposedly rip off taxpayers by making health care available to border-hoppers!
Who here lives up near the border? How does this work? Was Palin's family sticking Canadian taxpayers for the bill, or do Americans pay up front for treatment in Canada?
Palin thinks the word for this is "ironic." I think of it more in terms of "going to Hell." But that's just me. Religious freedom and all that.

Sarah Palin has a message for critics of her hand-notes during February's Tea Party keynote speech: God did it too.
At a fundraiser on Friday for the Ohio Right to Life group, Palin assailed the media for getting "all wigged out about that" and claimed they're attacking her because they "couldn't argue the content" of the words.
Referring the crowd to a Bible passage from Isiah 49:16, she assured them she's "in good company."
"If what was good enough for God, scribbling on the palm of his hand, it's good enough for me, for us," Palin said. "In that passage he says, I wrote your name on the palm of my hand to remember you. And I'm like okay, I'm in good company."
The passage reads: "See, I have engraved you on the palms of my hands; your walls are ever before me."
A still-frame of Palin's speech at the Memphis, Tennessee convention revealed that the words she had written on her left hand were "Energy," "Tax cuts," and "Lift America's Spirits." She was later caught peeking at them during the question-and-answer session.
Mediaite notes that the crux of the substantive criticism was because Palin had criticized others for using notes during speeches. "What is ridiculous is that she’s still defending her cheat-notes after mocking Obama for using a teleprompter," wrote Drew Grant.
Blogger Gryphen at The Immoral Minority added, "I heard NUMEROUS reporters and pundits call her out on both the content of what she wrote on her hand during the teabagger convention as well as the fact that she had to write it down to remember it."
"Sarah Palin Has A God Complex," headlined liberal blogger Oliver Willis.
While her critics responded with amusement and derision, some of Palin's admirers were impressed. Two Tea Parties flashed her a celebratory "Go Sarah" note on their own palms during an appearance on Fox & Friends last week.
The video is from the Ohio fundraiser, uploaded to YouTube by user Cynthiaabcd.
