Found this via Sullivan and it's a pithy little rant and also, I think, gets at an uncomfortable truth about some of the wingnuttier sections of the wingnut-o-sphere. Quote which sums it up: "no one is going to vote against Barack Obama for re-election because he doesn't have the experience to be president." I think he's onto something there. It's one of the things that's got the volume level cranked up so high. There's this subgroup of people that, on a certain level, just cannot process the fact that Barack Obama ran for office, won the nomination, beat McCain/Palin and is now the President. I guess it's not surprising, what with huge media empires built on repeating the lie that this is a center-right nation, permanent Republican majority (blah blah whatever). Depressing, but not surprising.

In political comedy news that doesn't have anything to do with Michael Steele, go check out Sharron Angle's Underground Bunker. Apparently the Nevada Democratic Party noticed that Angle, who is running against Harry Reid, had taken down the website she had up during the Republican primary and replaced it w/ a more "moderate" version for the general election. So they reposted the whole thing. Angle is claiming copyright infringement and has sent out C&D notices. More details from TPM here. And, here's Angle's original website which Nevada Dems have also put back online, after stripping out some contact info. But, really, go check out the Underground Bunker. It's not as good as Colbert's Doom Bunker rip on Glenn Beck but it's pretty damn good for a bunch of Democratic party weasels. And who knows how long it'll actually be online.
