News Roundup for 4/25/11

Barack and Michelle with the Easter Bunny

-Headline of the Day-
"Even for Fox, a Cheap Attack."

Fox News is breaking the super-important news that President Obama "failed to release a statement or a proclamation recognizing the national observance of Easter Sunday, Christianity's most sacred holiday."

Why? Probably because he's a secret Muslim terr'ist. Obama issued proclamations recognizing "Ramadan, Eid-ul-Fitr, Hajj, and Eid-ul-Adha" -- all crazy Moozlim holidays -- but nothing for Easter. He also "failed to release a statement marking Good Friday," which is the worst thing ever.

"George W. Bush was in office for eight years," comments Steve Benen. "How many Easter proclamations did he issue? Zero."

Dear Sweet God... Dubya was a secret Muslim terr'ist too! In fact, it's worse than that. Charles Johnson looked back further and found that "Ronald Reagan, George W. Bush, Bill Clinton, George H.W. Bush -— none of them issued official Easter proclamations."

Reagan? A terr'ist? By now, the US is obviously a secret caliphate!

America is clearly doomed. (Political Animal)


-And Mittens is the "serious" candidate-
The GOP presidential field is made up mostly of attention whores and teabagger frootloops. Which makes Mittens Romney kind of stand out. He's the "not crazy" one.

Well, that branding isn't going to work in today's Republican Party, so Romney decided to fix the perception that he's an elitist (i.e., someone who knows what the hell he's talking about).

In an op-ed for the New Hampshire Union Leader, Mittens wrote that President Obama is engaged in "one of the biggest peacetime spending binges in American history."

There ya go. He's no longer handicapped by the embarrassing appearance of competence. (Plum Line)


-Bonus HotD-
"Walker: Too Many Recalls 'Makes It Very Hard' To Get Things Done."

Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker simply does not care for recall elections.

For the record, this opinion is a fairly recent development. (Talking Points Memo)

Stories to Watch: 4/23/11

Another short one. Tomorrow's Easter, what do you expect? Now here's the news...


Ann Althouse finds a Krugman metaphor about shooting zombies just too, too distasteful. Remember when people on the right used to call people on the left "the perpetually offended?" Yeah, they can stop doing that now. All rightwing bloggers seem to do anymore is go out of their way to try to be offended.


How do you get people to sign a petition to recall a Wisconsin Democratic state senator? Bribe them with free alcohol, of course.


Susan Collins is the first GOP senator to publicly oppose Paul Ryan's fantasy-economics porn.


At least one Republican knows what the Boston Tea Party was actually about.


Finally, BP's getting a $13 billion dollar tax credit -- for cleaning up oil they spilled in the first place. For the record, that's more than the budget for the Environmental Protection Agency. Want to reduce the deficit? How about we close some extremely brainless loopholes?
