(I’m just going to keep adding the cowardly face shot of the newest teabagger terrorist that goes on a killing spree, on top the of original cracked teapot image I made after Joe Stack went on his.)
John Patrick Bedell, whom authorities identified as the gunman in the Pentagon shooting on Thursday, appears to have been a right-wing extremist with virulent antigovernment feelings.
If so, that would make the Pentagon shooting the second violent extremist attack on a federal building within the past month. On Feb. 18, Joseph Stack flew a small aircraft into an IRS building in Austin, Texas. Mr. Stack left behind a disjointed screed in which, among other things, he expressed his hatred of the government.
Details of Mr. Bedell’s case are still emerging. But writings by someone with his same name and birth date, posted on the Internet, express ill will toward the government and the armed forces and question whether Washington itself might have been behind the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks.
A Naples City Council member, who had his license suspended and was ordered not to drive for a month, drove himself to Wednesday’s council meeting and admitted he hasn’t completely given up his keys.
Councilman Sam Saad was notified last month that his driver license would be suspended as of Feb. 25, according to a copy of his driving record obtained by the Daily News.
After telling the Daily News on Wednesday morning that he had a hardship license that allowed him to drive, Saad later confirmed he had only applied for one and that he was driving on a suspended license.
He said he has been driving to and from his Pine Ridge Road office since the suspension went into effect.
The 32-year-old Lake Park resident and newly elected councilman drove to Naples City Hall on Wednesday. He was photographed along the way by a Daily News staff member.
Ann Howard, a spokeswoman for the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles, said there were no indications on Saad’s record that he had received a hardship license.
Now THIS is some journalism! Read the rest of this article here.
But how do I know he’s a repiglican, you ask? Check out this posting by his daddy promoting some Glen Bleck 9/12 batshittery (click on images for full-sized images):
And take a look at what Saad himself said after Ted Kennedy died on the Naples repiglican party Facebook page.
Early Wednesday morning, State Sen. Roy Ashburn (R-Calif.) was pulled over and arrested for drunk driving. Sources report that Ashburn — a fierce opponent of gay rights — was driving drunk after leaving a gay nightclub; when the officer stopped the state-issued vehicle, there was an unidentified man in the passenger seat of the car.
It’s not that you were at a gay nightclub, and it has nothing to do with who you go to bed with. It has to do with your hypocrisy in demonizing and denying rights to the very people you expect to spend time with you.
What the hell is it with repiglican representatives from Kentucky?? Geesh! First Jim Bunning acts like unemployed people are picking his freakin’ pockets, and then Mitch McConnell goes off on this little tangent because his chief of staff Kyle Simmons is leaving, supposedly to “spend more time” with his family. Good grief!
I think we know what Karl Rove’s going away party must have sounded like. Good night! Someone send some damn Zoloft and Kleenex to Capitol Hill.
How come we never see these heartless sons-a-bitches crying because American children are going to bed hungry at night?
Sen. Jim Bunning (R) of Kentucky put a stop to Senate attempts Friday for an extension of unemployment benefits. As a result, the extended benfits program – the last phase of unemployment benefits – expires Saturday, Feb. 27.
He’s not running for re-election, so he don’t give a damn. Compassionate conservative my foot!
WHITE PLAINS — Bernard B. Kerik, a former New York police commissioner who rose to national prominence, was sentenced to four years in prison on Thursday after pleading guilty to eight felony charges, including tax fraud and lying to White House officials.
Under the terms of a plea agreement reached in November on the eve of his trial, the prosecution and the defense recommended that Judge Stephen C. Robinson sentence Mr. Kerik to 27 to 33 months in prison. But the judge departed from the sentencing recommendations, giving Mr. Kerik a longer sentence.
His performance during and after the 9/11 attacks turned him into a national figure, earning him the respect of President George W. Bush, who nominated him to lead the Department of Homeland Security. That bid quickly collapsed in scandal, marking the beginning of the end of Mr. Kerik’s career.
Let’s get one thing clear: James O’Keefe WAS NOT famously dressed as a pimp INSIDE the ACORN offices when the tape was rolling. That’s all part of his smoke and mirrors fancy editing gimmicks to make himself look cool. In fact, O’Keefe and his dingbat tag-a-long told the ACORN workers that they BOTH needed a house to get away from an abusive pimp, rather than going into the ACORN offices and playing the role of a pimp and his ho.
And just an update on the score:
Number of charges pending against ACORN – 0
Number of charges pending against O’Keefe – 1, and it’s a FELONY

Sounding like a jilted lover, Joe the Plunger declared that John McCain “really screwed up my life.” He also proved that he can only be duped for about a year and a half, before he finally gets a clue.
At a gathering of knuckle draggers over the weekend, Joe (whose actual name is Samuel Wurzelbacher) stammered:
“McCain was trying to use me. I happened to be the face of middle Americans. It was a ploy.”
No foolin’, Sammy?? You think it was all a ploy? And it has only taken you since 2008 to come to that realization? Boy, sure can’t pull one over on you! You’re just waaay too smart there, junior!
Actually, yes, to the fascist-neocon base McCain pandered to, you were “middle America.” You were a white man, who claimed to be anxious to become a business owner (which we now know was a bald-faced LIE). People just clapped whenever you’d rail against socialism, even though you’ve leached off the welfare system. You rode around on his bus spouting whatever they told you to say, which is why it’s funny that you’re now claiming you were thrown under it.
What… did you expect the free ride to continue after the campaign was over? You wrote a book that hasn’t sold squat. Your epic fail at journalism still gives us the chuckles. You were never a licensed plumber. You spent the weekend squeezing teabags in Pennsylvania, trying to milk the image you’ve already admitted was a ploy. Let’s face it, Sam, you’re a no-talent political hack who thinks America owes him something just because you’re a white boy.
Sam, America is done with you. Understand that your 15 minutes were over in 2008. Go find yourself a job working in a warehouse or something somewhere. You and Sarah Palin have a lot in common – neither one of you are terribly bright, and you’ve both quit your jobs. The rest of us will work to make sure that if you ever need to make use of the social safety net again, and you likely will, that it’ll be there to catch your lame ass once again, regardless of how much you and your teabagging nut cases claim to hate it.
Enzi’s flub came during a filibuster against the confirmation of Craig Becker, President Obama’s nominee to the National Labor Relations Board. Becker’s confirmation was ultimately blocked despite a vote of 52-33 in his favor.
