Maybe you won’t be surprised to learn that Pat Robertson operated a fake charity following the 1994 Rwandan genocide that actually funded his Liberian diamond mines.
In 1999, The shit bag pastor and former Republican presidential contender signed a deal with then Liberian President and war-criminal Charles Taylor, allowing ol’ Pat to own diamond and gold mines in Liberia.
Prosecutors at the human rights trial of the former Liberian warlord alleged Robertson had lobbied the White House on Taylor’s behalf in return for a gold mining contract. Pat met with then-President George W. Bush on Taylor’s behalf, allegedly in return for a contract to mine gold and diamonds in southeast Liberia’s mineral-rich countryside – a contract they say that Taylor had no legal right to grant and skirted the Liberian legislature.
Robertson made widely publicized public statements in support of Charles Taylor, despite the fact that he was harboring Al Qaeda operatives who were funding their operations through him. In response to Taylor’s crimes against humanity, the United States Congress passed a bill In November 2003 that offered two million dollars for his capture. Robertson accused President Bush of: [click to continue…]
I just unearthed this polaroid photo of my cousin Stephen and me, a pony and an unknown child, at my barn in Pennsylvania. Not exactly sure what was happening here.
Dear Wingnuts:
Who the hell did you people elect? The people with the brightest bulbs for a nose? The people with the biggest, floppiest shoes? Do all representatives in your legislature arrive at work every morning tumbling out of the same tiny car?
Looking for answers, any answers.
Sincerely,

I was in Ocean City, NJ with my family when I saw the announcement on TV. My mom and I instantly started cheering “we won! we won!” because we knew that whatever chance McCain still had left, the Tina Fey look-alike had just shot it to hell. It’s the five-year anniversary of the day John McCain picked Sarah Palin’s perky boobies off a google image search of “lady”, printed it out, threw it on the conference table and told his staff: “American men will have a boner for this woman…and then they will vote for me.” And hence, the herpes-flare-up style political career of Sarah “Lou Sarah” Palin was born.
I have so many favorite memories of Lou Sarah. I think I will have forever embedded in my memory that interview with the struggling turkey squawking and flapping and kicking, in a futile effort to get free, while a guy in the background is quietly beheading birds. There was her grifting all that merch from Nordstrom’s, and spending $50,000 of taxpayer money to give her office a “bordello” makeover with flocked red velvet wallpaper. Another unforgettable/unforgivable moment was Palin trying to shoot that caribou which was striking a pose for her while she shot and shot, missing and missing – proving that some nimrods really do need semi-automatics for hunting. There was the gotcha journalism interview with Katie Couric, where clever Katie tricked Palin into being an illiterate idiot. Then there was that thing about Paul Revere “ringin’ those bells” to warn the British not to take away our guns, and how about that time she made the shooting of Rep. Gabby Giffords all about how libruls were blood libeling her because goddamnit isn’t everything about her?
Ah Sarah. Sarah Palin™, Snowbilly, Mooselini, Caribou Barbie, Bible Spice, Babbe Spice, Tundra Grifter, Grifterella, Trixie Tundratwat, Screeching Harpy, lipsticked hockey mom from Alaska meth capital, whatever you want to call her, the lady with the much-jogged ass single-handedly transformed the American political landscape. She was behind the Tea Party’s rapid ascent. Which gave us voter ID, Constitution-defying abortion restrictions, impeach Obama for whatever, birtherism, “palling around with terrorists”, more Donald Trump, Congress as a Death Panel repealing Obamacare 40 times, al Queda-friendly gun laws, word salads….on and on.
Thanks Sarah for destroying America. But remember: God loves America and will punish you.
Sen. Tom Coburn (R-Okla.) aka “Crazy Uncle Coburn”
would you accept this man as your physician?
He turned the important issue of public White House tours – temporarily suspended because of sequestration – into his own personal “BENGHAAAAAAZZZZZIIIII!”. He campaigned to keep Schindler’s List off the air because he deemed it obscene (the nudity part, not the holocaust part). He warned Oklahomans of rampant lesbianism in the southeast portion of the state. He did a crossword puzzle during a senate hearing, then – literally – cried about the participants not taking the hearings seriously. He backed the “birther bill” and supports executing abortionists.
He suddenly and heroically grew a “Van Dyke” goatee which gave him the power to single-handedly slash the 9/11 first-responder health benefits bill from $7.4 billion in benefits and compensation to $1.5 for benefits and $2.7 for compensation. Plus, he added an expiration date to the fund – five years and out, so hurry up and get your 9/11-related cancer now, 9/11 guys. You simply must visit New York sometime, Mr. Coburn, take the “wife” to a Broadway show then the cops can set you on fire and firemen wouldn’t piss on you to put it out.
