The Fox & Friends gang had a good laugh this morning when Geraldo Rivera wondered whether a “lesbian cabal” is running the Department of Homeland Security. Watch.

David Barton is finding fewer friends to help hawk his pseudo-history.
In the years we’ve been covering the great voter fraud bamboozle, the same people turn up over and over again. Longtime readers well remember former Bush DOJer Hans von Spakovsky.

TPM Reader JB says Paul Ryan has a point about the auto plant closures in Wisconsin:
I grew up in Kenosha, WI, and while I think Ryan’s remarks are hypocritical in light of his more recent remarks on the bailouts and on the stimulus, I think his criticism of the Obama administration with respect to the GM and Chrysler plants is fair.
I don’t want to get ahead of ourselves here, but I’m going to go on the record that a Posse Comitatus presence among the refineries and petrochemical plants along the Mississippi River between Baton Rouge and New Orleans would be a bad thing.
Rep. Todd Akin is not a doctor. His own congressional bio says he worked as an engineer and a steel plant manager before running for office.
But he’s heard from doctors that rape victims’ bodies spring into action to prevent a resulting pregnancy. Why Akin needs to assert junk science is unclear, since he doesn’t believe women who do get pregnant as a result of rape should be allowed to seek an abortion, either.
