Hour Two Guest: John Nichols of The Nation magazine and author of ‘The "S" Word: A Short History of an American Tradition... Socialism’ with an update on all things Wisconsin.NEW: Weiner photo leaked - Breitbart just couldn't wait to pass around his prized possession.
A homeowner in Florida has foreclosed on the Bank of America. I love it when the real news gets weirder than a headline from The Onion. It all started when Bank of America tried to foreclose on the home of a couple who had paid cash for their home and never even had a mortgage with B of A or anyone else. But according to B of A, that doesn’t mean they should be able to skip out on their payments! The couple successfully sued Bank of America, and a court ordered B of A to pay their legal fees. B of A ignored the ruling. We all know that banks like Bank of America are “too big to fail.” It seems like these banks also believe that they’re too big to f*** up.
Ann Coulter is saying that the shootings at Kent State were justified. Do you get the feeling that Ann Coulter is going to have to start setting herself on fire to get people to pay attention to her? I’m kidding of course, Ann Coulter would never set herself on fire to get attention. She would set somebody else on fire and then stand in front of them. Ann said “There was the shooting at Kent State… that’s what you do with the mob.” Well yes, that’s what you do with the mob, if “you” are Josef Stalin.
Tea Party sideshow Herman Cain has vowed that if elected president, he will refuse to sign any bill over three pages long. No word on if he would insist on a large typeface and some nice pictures too. Under Cain’s three-page rule, he could not have signed most of the landmark bills in the history of the United States like the Civil Rights Act or the Social Security Act. But then Herman Cain wouldn’t want to have signed those bills anyway. Cain couldn’t have even signed the Bush tax cuts of 2001 and 2003, which were each over 100 pages long. That’s a little surprising. How many pages does it take to say “give all the money to rich people”?
Anthony Weiner is struggling to maintain his career. I’ll give him this—he’s showing a stiff upper lip, which is a big improvement. Weiner apologized to Bill Clinton, who officiated at Weiner’s wedding. Clinton is reportedly very upset with Weiner, but something tells me he probably skipped the lecture. Really, what is Bill Clinton going to say? “What were you thinking? You were acting like… OK, never mind that.”
Adding Idiot to Injury Department: Donald Trump has weighed in on the Anthony Weiner saga. Let’s be fair—what Anthony Weiner did was incredibly stupid. So Donald Trump may actually have some expertise here. Trump says that Anthony Weiner “should never ever be allowed to run for office again.” Allowed to run? Donald, ANYBODY is allowed to run for office. You yourself are proof of that.
