If you go on google news now, there is a Fox News link to the same headline.

So the problem isn't that the Washington Times exists, the problem is that even if they fold, Fox News will run stories like these, and Google will present it as an actual news headline (despite what Murdoch says about de-indexing)

Kimchi with sour grapes is a most unsatisfying menu...

No soup for you!

What self-respecting Republican would be caught dead sitting at a dinner table that had two brown-skinned men seated at the ends, one of them wearing a turban.

Ya see, real murikans don't bow. And, they don't let maccaca sit at the head of the dinner table.

Who would want to ruin an otherwise-enjoyable event by having Republicans around? Talking to Republican is painful, not to mention if you get enough of them close enough to each other, you might have a critical mass of ignorance and it could explode - who would want to be wiping that off?

Well, Obama could have invited Beck or Limbaugh, but I'm pretty sure that there's a statute against bringing rabid animals onto federal property.

IMHO there would be value to having a Republican around, especially one like Jim DeMint. The ridicule that one could heap upon such buffoons could provide hours of enjoyment, as long as most of the intimates at the party were in on the joke.

Obama could key the Indian PM in, then make outlandish sounding comments to which DeMint-like know-nothings could respond.

"Reagan consorted with many thespians in his time," Obama could say. This would prompt another guest to respond that Nancy, Reagan's wife, was a notorious one, hopefully outraging the ignorant Guest (R). Perhaps that's too simplistic, but you get the drift.

the right-wing noise machine increasingly reminds me of fred allen's old saw about network execs: "they come in each day and find a molehill on their desks. they have until the end of the day to turn it into a mountain."

How about Obama warming up to that African leader who was denied putting up a tent before his UN speech?

I mean, gosh, not only are all manner of GOPeers not invited but he has the audacity to put up a tent!

Now that's a story to get excited about.

No wonder the GOP think Obama is tentative!

"Plus, they also had foreigners at that dinner!!! O.M.G. Imagine inviting foreigners to a state dinner...it's unprecedented! It's never happened before Obama and his UN loving friends took over!"

Coming soon, to a Fox commentator near you...

Steve Benin writes: "Fox News, not surprisingly, soon followed, republishing the Times piece."

Yeah, the Fox News piece WAS an outrageous cut and paste job (hacking up the original, hack-written WT piece) but the headline on the Faux Nooz website was, frankly, more coded Klanspeak. From the network that brought you "Obama is a RACIST!":

GUESS WHO'S NOT COMING TO DINNER, it reads.

Ha ha. Nothing to do with race. Just a funny Faux pun. Ha ha ha.

Good lord.

Remember the days when only a death in the family justified turning down an invitation to dine at the white house? What is with these Republicans? Fair-weather patriots.

TPMDC had the menu (as well as the list of attendees). All I can say I'm glad I wasn't invited :)

"The fact is, this country's going broke....We're spending money we don't have and passing it onto our kids, and at some point somebody's got to say, 'Enough is enough'"

John Boehner

QUESTION:
Where was this jackass when the halfwit from Crawford, Texas was spending the United States into a bankruptcy so paralyzing there is no precedent for it in all recorded human history? Where was his outrage when when the Bush Mob plundered the nation's treasure by making war on a country (Iraq - just in case it slipped your mind) that was a threat to absolutely no one? Is he really serious? That's the really funny thing - he is.

John Boehner is as crooked as they come. Since the departure of Tom Delay he has become the corrupt politician's corrupt politician. He is the new face of organized political sleaze. Someday we'll all realize this. As hard as he may try, he'll never be able to escape the wrath of history. The fact that he has always been (I'll be polite) "ethically challenged" should not surprise anyone who's paid even scant attention to his career these past twenty years.

In June 1995, at a time when Congress was deliberating tobacco subsidies, he was busted handing out checks (bribes - let's be honest) from the cigarette industry to various members in a naked attempt to influence their votes. This incident occurred in plain view right on the floor of the House of Representatives. Is this a great country or what?
