The Kenyan Prince Birth Announcement Scam.

Maybe the “birthers” are actually on to something:

The scam is tricky. But I wouldn’t put anything past a fur-ner and a colored lover.

Speaking of interracial love, I’m beginning to fall head over heels for Salon’s Joan Walsh. She even managed to outdo herself last night on “Hardball.”

Post-script: I always find myself trying to quit Chris Matthews. But then he goes out and does something like this. No one is better at letting their guests hang themselves with their own rope.

    I’m baffled that republicans won’t clearly and definitely separate themselves from their extreme lunatic fringe. Their party continues to suffer losses by these missing opportunities to revitalize the brand as an anti-racist party. They should just put KKK on the motto, throw in a “Heil Hitler!”‘ with the boot heel crack and call it a day because it’s apparent their pandering to the lowest common denominator of their party comes before any sense of dignity.

    It’s jaw dropping.

  • I’m so with you on Matthews. I wish I could quit him. But then he gets awesome.
