Randi Rhodes: Losers & Weiners

Donald Trump and Sarah Palin got together yesterday for a, uh, well… can you have a meeting of the minds when there aren’t any minds involved? The two dined together at Famous Famiglia pizza at 50th and Broadway, in Times Square. There are certainly better places to eat, but not a lot that are any more conspicuous. I guess the problem with most places that have excellent food is that they tend to try and give their clients as much privacy as possible. And Donald Trump and Sarah Palin want as little privacy as possible, thank you very much. Famous Famiglia, Sarah? Come on. At least Famous Ray’s has good bad pizza. I guess they just don’t have enough windows for all the press to take pictures through. Today Palin is scheduled to go to Ellis Island and the Statue of Liberty. “Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free… keep that phony from Alaska, though.” Michele Bachmann is saying “I’ve had that calling” from God to run for president. I’m sure you did, Michele. Millions of Democrats have been fervently praying that you would. Though, for your sake, you should make sure that the call was really from God. It could be Satan setting you up. Do you have Spiritual Caller ID? In the course of her career, Michele Bachmann said that God called her to marry her husband, to go to law school, to become a tax attorney, and to run for Congress. Calling? It sounds like God has Michele Bachmann on speed dial. No wonder the world is in such a mess—God is spending all of his time on Michele Bachmann. Nothing new and definitive on the Anthony Weiner Twitter saga. Or, to take full advantage of the “Weiner joke” potential here, we’re not getting any more of a grip on the Weiner thing. If you’ve seen the picture in question, you know that we’re talking about a substantial package. But it’s important to remember that Andrew Breitbart is still the biggest dick involved in this story. Conservative bloggers are praying that this supposed scandal turns out to be true. The conservative blogosphere is more excited than… well, than the guy in the photo. Guys, please! Don’t get too excited! Try thinking about baseball. >>> MORE
