WTF Did Major Garrett Just Tweet?

Either he got hacked or he’s someone I don’t want to mess with when he’s ticked. Of course, it has since been deleted.

Brent Bozell owes Anderson Cooper an apology. Now.

Brent Bozell, go teabag yourself.

Original Cooper story here.

Quickie- Anderson Cooper: “The Fact Is, I’m Gay.”

I am so thrilled that it’s like this, just meh, “I’ve got blue eyes.” Andrew has the whole thing (must read), but I like this alot.

Recently, however, I’ve begun to consider whether the unintended outcomes of maintaining my privacy outweigh personal and professional principle. It’s become clear to me that by remaining silent on certain aspects of my personal life for so long, I have given some the mistaken impression that I am trying to hide something – something that makes me uncomfortable, ashamed or even afraid. This is distressing because it is simply not true.

I’ve also been reminded recently that while as a society we are moving toward greater inclusion and equality for all people, the tide of history only advances when people make themselves fully visible. There continue to be far too many incidences of bullying of young people, as well as discrimination and violence against people of all ages, based on their sexual orientation, and I believe there is value in making clear where I stand.

The fact is, I’m gay, always have been, always will be, and I couldn’t be any more happy, comfortable with myself, and proud.

About that Obama heckler…

So you know that arrogant twit who was apparently raised by very inept parents and who disrespected not only the office of the presidency, but this particular African American president by having the damn gall to shamelessly and rudely interrupt him mid-statement? (Bet he never did that to any other president.)

Fun Fact time!

  • The Daily Caller’s editor-in-chief is Tucker Carlson. Google him. ‘Nuff said.

THE PRESIDENT: … This is a temporary stopgap measure that lets us focus our resources wisely while giving a degree of relief and hope to talented, driven, patriotic young people.  It is –

Q    (Inaudible.) 

THE PRESIDENT:  – the right thing to do. 

Q    – foreigners over American workers.

THE PRESIDENT:  Excuse me, sir.  It’s not time for questions, sir.

Q    No, you have to take questions.

THE PRESIDENT:  Not while I’m speaking. Precisely because this is temporary, Congress needs to act. [The president continues on for awhile, then...] And the answer to your question, sir – and the next time I’d prefer you let me finish my statements before you ask that question – is this is the right thing to do for the American people –

Q    (Inaudible.) 

THE PRESIDENT:  I didn’t ask for an argument.  I’m answering your question. 

Q    I’d like to –

THE PRESIDENT:  It is the right thing to do – 

Q    (Inaudible.)

THE PRESIDENT:  – for the American people.  And here’s why –

Q    – unemployment –

[The president goes on for awhile longer, then...]

THE PRESIDENT: All right.  Thank you very much. [And he exits...]

Q    What about American workers who are unemployed while you import foreigners?

  • Munro later said, “I timed the question believing the president was closing his remarks, because naturally I have no intention of interrupting,” but reporters near him saw it differently:
  • How’d Munro manage to “time a question” badly and “have no intention of interrupting” after cutting in more than once? Especially after President Obama said, “Excuse me, sir.  It’s not time for questions, sir.” Especially after Munro responded, “No, you have to take questions.

Here’s a fake Fun Fact I hope I get to add soon: Neil Munro got fired.
