Having seen the path blazed by Sen. David Vitter (R-LA) from family values pariah to reelected senator, Sen. John Ensign (R-NV) says he’ll run for reelection in 2012.
In a race like Murkowski v. Miller, how does Fox News decide who to be biased for?
Sarah Palin tells ABC: I can beat Obama in 2012. Watch the video.
Cavuto asks AK GOPer Joe Miller: Do you feel like Custer now? Watch.
Between you and me, I’m willing to make fun of it. But I’m not even sure what Cavuto was trying to say. I think this is just called losing an election.
Put this in the category of “you can’t make it up.”
Phoenix-area Sheriff Joe Arpaio rounds up a posse of “celebrity crime fighters” — including Lou Ferrigno and Steven Seagal — to protect his non-border county from illegal immigration.
Ed. Note: I recently Netflixed The Incredible Hulk to watch with my kids. It is waaay worse than you remember. Trust me. Even my kids — who are masters at suspending their disbelief — were giggling when Ferrigno flashed white patches of skin where the green makeup didn’t extend far enough under his shorts. Bad, bad, bad TV.
Fox News honcho Roger Ailes: “He loves polarization. He depends on it. If liberals and conservatives are all getting along, how good would that show be? It’d be a bomb.”

The new NBC/Wall Street Journal poll finds that the number of Americans who support allowing gays to serve openly in the military has gone from 40 percent a decade ago to 50 percent today.
Jon Stewart: If Republicans are “adults” who want to have an “adult conversation” about taxes and government spending, then that must make Democrats the stepparents who “will do anything to keep the peace and anything to get you to just love them.” Watch.
Jake Tapper posts an email from a “senior administration official” defending the Ghailani verdict (emphasis mine):
“So, we tried a guy (who the Bush Admin tortured and then held at GTMO for 4-plus years with no end game whatsoever) in a federal court before a NY jury with full transparency and international legitimacy and — despite all of the legacy problems of the case (i.e., evidence getting thrown out because of Bush-Admin torture, etc,) we were STILL able to convict him and INCAPACITATE him for essentially the rest of his natural life, AND there was not one — not one — security problem associated with the trial.”
On the one hand, I’m glad to see that Bush-era torture is accepted as fact by a senior member of the Obama Administration. On the other hand, since certain legal consequences should — yet haven’t — flowed from that fact …
