Hour One Guest: Rep. Carolyn McCarthy (D-NY) on her new bill to ban high-capacity gun clips and today's planned vote to repeal healthcare reform.
The House votes today on whether or not to repeal healthcare reform. More accurately, they vote on whether to signal the Tea Party nuts that they really, really tried to repeal healthcare reform. The healthcare repeal has absolutely no chance of becoming law. This bill in the House is just a Republican feel-good measure, which gives you an idea of the kinds of things that make Republicans feel good—basically anything that will make others feel bad.
On Lawrence O’Donnell’s show, Representative Trent Franks (R-AZ) refused to say that he wished Jared Loughner had had a smaller clip. No, Trent Franks wishes somebody else was there with a bigger clip. Franks was the one who said “I wish there had been one more gun there that day in the hands of a responsible person.” Innocent people can get shot by “a responsible person” too, you know. Ask anybody who’s ever gone hunting with Dick Cheney. Or just ask the guy at the Rep. Giffords’ event who almost shot the wrong person.
In her appearance on Sean Hannity’s show, Sarah Palin claimed she was baffled by the criticism of her crosshairs map. No surprise there. I get the feeling Sarah Palin is baffled by a lot of things. Now Palin is on Hannity’s show defending her original defense. For someone as obsessed with gun imagery, it’s truly amazing just how off-target Sarah Palin consistently is. Well, Sarah, thanks for clarifying the message of your previous video. And I’m assuming the message of that video was that you are a self-obsessed moron.
Newt Gingrich has some advice for Sarah. That’s appropriate. I think Sarah Palin may be the only person in the world with worse ideas than Newt Gingrich. Newt said “I think that she has got to slow down…” Sarah doesn’t need to “slow down.” She needs to change course. Telling her to slow down is like telling General Custer to take a leisurely route to the Little Big Horn.
Did I say last week that Sarah Palin is now the female Ann Coulter? Not everyone agrees. Dr. Laura says Sarah Palin “has balls. And they don’t like that in a woman.” Well, some people do, Doc. That’s why transvestite hookers exist.

If you ever wished that someone would combine the music of the Battle Hymn of the Republic with cheesy pro-Sarah Palin lyrics, your prayers have been answered…
