MSNBC'S MADDOW NOW REWRITING INSTANT REPLAYS

Ann Coulter  . . . "In fact, unless Rachel -- or that fantastic diverse staff -- can produce Scalise campaign literature from 1999, highlighting his views on repealing the 14th Amendment, reinstating slavery and opposing miscegenation, I am almost positive that the "conservative views" Scalise was touting to suburban New Orleans voters were more along the lines of, say, smaller government, prayer in schools and opposition to abortion. 

"If by "opposition to abortion," Rachel hears "reinstituting the slave trade," I can't help her. At that point, we're talking full-on dementia. 

"I'm no fan of David Duke: I hate long-time Democrats pretending to be Republicans. 

"But more than a decade after Duke quit the Klan -- he was out by 1980 -- Rachel's esteemed MSNBC colleague Al Sharpton was denouncing the Jews of Crown Heights as "diamond merchants." I assume from your surname, Rachel, that you are, at least in part, a "diamond merchant." What do you think about Sharpton having his own show on MSNBC and visiting the White House a dozen times?


Cowards!

Obama's SOTU as seen from the UK: What a waste of national goodwill this presidency has been

State of the Union: Barack Obama channels Gordon Brown  "A good proportion of the US electorate must have hoped that in electing Barack Obama as president, they would be getting the visionary intellect and magnetism of a John Kennedy.
Instead, they ended up with the vision of Jimmy Carter and the personal charm of Richard Nixon. Mr Obama's State of the Union address was about as relentlessly bellicose and self-regarding as it was possible for a president whose politics had received two successive popular rejections to be.
"Combined with the defiance of a man whose views have been repudiated in a way that leaves him powerless against a Republican-dominated Congress, there was an absolute refusal to grant that his own obstinacy might be in any way responsible for rendering the remainder of his time in office largely pointless." .

HILARIOUS VIDEO: Dummies Across America – Guess What These Idiots Didn’t Know

Debbie Schlussel  "This may be a Martin Luther King Jr. Day leftover, but it’s worth watching to remind us yet again how ignorant so many Americans are. Note that many of these people are Black and they did not know this one basic fact. I’ll bet everyone in the video, though, could accurately tell you all of the details of the lives of each of the individual Kardashians and Jenners. And the rules of “Fight Club.” Love that guy with an ear guage (does he have one in his brain, too?). Very funny . . .

"By the way, these are all future Hillary (or Elizabeth Warren) voters . . . if they vote." ...

The Penis Mightier Than the Sword

"Big Gay"?

Billy Crystal: Not gay enough.

Mark Steyn  "The feasting on the dead of Charlie Hebdo continues. Just when you thought the State of the Union couldn't get any tackier comes news of the latest phony-baloney pen-is-mightier-than-the-swordpseudo-solidarity:

Members of Congress will honor the victims of the Charlie Hebdo attack during the State of the Union by holding up yellow pencils.
 A spokeswoman for Democratic Rep. Gwen Moore of Wisconsin said that she will hold up a pencil and that they have confirmed that other lawmakers will do so as well. . . ...
"It would be hard to think of an institution more antithetical to freedom of expression than the modern Democratic Party and its constituent identity groups. Consider one of Charlie Hebdo's fellow funnymen, Billy Crystal. He's a big-time Oscar host and limousine liberal, but yesterday he made the mistake of wandering off-script:
Billy Crystal: 'Stop Shoving Gay Sex Scenes in My Face'

. . . "So maybe they'll let him still appear in movies and TV shows occasionally. Or maybe the taint of "homophobe" will linger. Crystal knows what he meant, and so does Big Gay. And they don't care whether his "clarification" is sincere; they're teaching a lesson to the broader citizenry: You can be a big star, and a Democrat, and a supporter of gay marriage; you can have played one of the first gay characters on TV, a third of a century ago, back when that sort of thing took a measure of courage as opposed to being the lamest bandwagon in town. And none of it matters if you make one infelicitous remark." 

After the SOTU, who should be more embarrassed, this administration or the voters who put it into office?



" ...a woman identified only as Mrs. Powell of Philadelphia asked Benjamin Franklin, "Well, Doctor, what have we got, a republic or a monarchy?"
Franklin is said to have answered, “A Republic, madam, if you can keep it.”
... "The founders charged the citizens of this country actively to pursue righteousness in our elected officials and to remain alert to the activities at every level of government.

In SOTU, Obama Slips on Oil, Success of Private Sector  ... "Despite oil production on federal land being stifled 16%, despite the federal government snatching up tracts of land, despite an Environmental Protection Agency hostile to conventional sources of energy, America’s oil production continues to grow in the private sector. In spite of Obama trying to orchestrate his “middle-class economy,” free enterprise brought a true benefit to the American people." ...
