CNN’s resident drunk driving expert (but not expert drunk driver, unfortunately for the late Jeffrey Smuzinick) Rick Sanchez becomes incredulous and confused while discussing freedom with Republican Senator Jim Demint (video below). Sanchez takes the anti-freedom position.
Tom Ridge Stirrings
I’m officially raising the “Tom Ridge Reemergence Threat” warning level to “Yellow” or “Elevated” at this time. With the defection of “Benedict” Arlen to the Democrat party, leaving the Republican race with no incumbent and a wishy-washy state party nervous about Pat Toomey, there is a significant risk of the reemergence of Tom Ridge to fill the RINO void. Please be extra vigilant, have plenty of duct tape and plastic sheeting on hand, and report any sightings of Tom Ridge in campaign mode to the proper authorities.
While many Pennsylvania GOP figures harshly criticized Specter for his defection to the Democratic Party, Ridge released a wishy-washy statement praising Specter: “In no way does his departure from the Republican Party diminish his long record of service to his country and to the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.”
It sure sounds like Ridge and Specter have a lot in common.
The Tom Ridge Reemergence Threat warning level was briefly at “Orange” or “High” this summer, when Ridge was discussed as a possible running mate for John McCain, but has been “Blue” or “Guarded,” reflecting only the general risk of Tom Ridge running or obtaining public office, since that time.
AP Polls Mostly Democrats, Still Can’t Find “Right Track” Majority

Welcome to day 100 of our descent. The leftstream press is certainly working hard to make you forget the hundreds of thousands of people who poured into the streets two weeks ago protesting the use of massive borrowing to resolve a credit crisis, the fact that key Health related government posts aren’t filled as we face a global pandemic, and the reckless Air Force Dumb photo-op attack on New York City.
Kenyan Extremist Terrorizes NYC With Airplane, Apologizes

Former Kenyan citizen and current American President Barack Obama’s teleprompter told the President to say that he is furious with himself over allowing his office to order his airplane to buzz New York City yesterday, and promised to fully investigate himself over his “mistake.”
The flyover — apparently ordered by the White House Office of Military Affairs so it would have souvenir photos of Air Force One with the Statue of Liberty in the background — had President Obama seeing red. He ordered a probe and apologized.
“It was a mistake. It will never happen again,” President Obama said.
Arlen Specter To Change Parties

Human Events is reporting that Pennsylvania Arlen Specter is set to announce his switch to the Democrat party today. I guess that should read, “official switch back to the Democrat party,” since he was previously a Democrat and has supported their failed policies as a RINO ever since.
Some may remember Specter from the first cut on his Greatest Hits album, helping lefty murderer Ira Einhorn elude justice.
Washington Post confirms, and points out that there is now no firewall to protect against the Obama socialist agenda. OK, they put it a little bit differently.
It wasn’t all that long ago when PA had two Republican Senators and a Republican governor.
Special thanks to George W. Bush and Rick Santorum, whose support of Specter helped him defeat conservative Pat Toomey in the 2004 Republican primary. Thanks guys.
“Nearly 3 in 10” Agreeing Is Now Big News to the AP
Never wanting to miss any small opportunity to bash FOX News or prop up the failed presidency of Barack Obama, the Associated Obama Press pushed a story earlier this evening trumpeting the statistic that “nearly 3 in 10 Americans” think FOX News is too tough on Barack Obama.
I kid you not. The news isn’t the “more than 7 in 10” who don’t feel that way. Those folks either see Barack Obama as the disaster that he is and don’t think anyone could possibly be too hard on that tool, or think FOX News is fair. The news, to the Associated Obama Press, is that a small minority think FOX is too hard on poor widdle Barack.
Unfortunately, you’ll have to follow the link above to read it for yourself because the AP believes they own information.
At Least Obama Didn’t Bow

…that we know of.
Just look at that grinning Socialist. OK, figure out which one I meant. It’s a trick question. Both Barack Obama and Hugo Chavez are grinning Socialists.
And they called the hundreds of thousands of hard-working Americans who took to the streets on Tuesday “Tea Baggers.” From the looks of this warm welcome, I imagine these two were steeping themselves into each other as soon as the cameras were turned off. Alert Anderson Cooper’s gerbil and Janeane Garofalo’s sad, tired, angry vibrator.
Tea Parties And The Leftist Media’s Obsession With “Teabagging”
For those who don’t know, “teabagging” is a sexual term for when a man without pants squats over his sexual partner and – how to put it – steeps his duo.
Just once I’d like to have a conservative correct liberal pundits about yesterday’s wildly successful Tea Parties when they call it “teabagging.” It wasn’t teabagging. Those hundreds of thousands of people yesterday performed a full-on fisting of our out-of-control government.
Phillies Broadcast Legend Harry Kalas Dies

Hall of Fame sports broadcaster Harry Kalas, 73, was found unconscious in the broadcast booth at Washington DC’s Nationals Park and rushed to the hospital according to media reports.
Philadelphia Phillies President David Montgomery is quoted as speculating “it’s serious.”
Update: Sadly, Philadelphia broadcasting legend Harry Kalas is dead at 73 according to AP.
TOTUS Vows Halt To Rise In Privacy
The mischievous Teleprompter of the United States tells Doofus in Chief Barack Obama to use the occasion of the Navy rescuing Captain Richard Phillips from pirates to vow his full efforts in halting “the rise of privacy.”
