Hal Sparks joins us in studio for another edition of “Humpdays With Hal”

NY Times columnist Frank Rich calls in at 9:30am ET / 6:30am PT to talk about his columns, “Angels In America” and “How Fox Betrayed Petraeus”

Karl Frisch, contributor to Media Matters for America, calls in at 10:05am ET / 7:05am PT to co-host Right Wing World

• On a night where most of the incumbents held serve in the political arena, Alaska GOP Sen. Lisa Murkowski is trailing a political unknown. In AZ, Sen. John McCain won the GOP Senate primary after a bitter campaign against former U.S. Rep. J.D. Hayworth. In Florida, Rick Scott, a millionaire political newcomer, defeated the state’s Attorney General Bill McCollum on Tuesday in the GOP primary for governor.

Former Agriculture employee Shirley Sherrod has rejected an offer from Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack to come back to the Department of Agriculture. She has not ruled out helping the department in the future on a consultant basis after it completes its own investigation into discrimination in the department.

Rep. John Boehner (R-OH) called on Tuesday for President Barack Obama to fire his economic team in a campaign-style speech meant to focus voters on the weak American economy.

Bye, all.

Hal, do you have an app that would shrink you down so you could ride in Obama's jacket pocket and speak for him?

grownups who smoke, drink, play golf, and cry?

"Birds do it. Bees do it."

And when they do each other... that's where Humming birds come from. :)

123. Heard he's in summer school.

#120

Is it just me, or is Gibbs keeping a low profile since his idiotic "Professional Left" comment that had many of us calling for his resignation?

I searched around online to find out which member of the MLK family is supposedly attending Beck's "I have a scheme" rally this September at the Lincoln Memorial, but am coming up dry.

I too have heard that Beck is "bragging" that a member of the King family will be there "in support", but I'm not finding "who", or if there are truly supporting Beck or just making sure he doesn't dishonor King's good name.

Obama need to hire Hal Sparks NOW to be a spokesman to rebut the wingers.

The guys at Newsbusters are too stupid to use a tape recorder.

I hope a MASSIVE counter-demonstration shows up at the Beckfest

112. Vilsack was never a farmer. Didn't even move to Iowa until he got married and moved to his wife's home town.

#113: within the cone of silence?

Drunky backs up his computer on his dict-a-phone he stores in his elevated shoes.

Tom Vilsack is a typical midwest farmer, hardly famous for being the most racially-sensitive people on earth. I hear their $#!#& every AM at the local cafe.

#109: Kind of harkens back to the old ways that military officers weren't chosen by knowledge but by class.

Why not just go for "jungle bunny"? Saves time. No weird slang words.

Dan Quayle's son Ben won his primary despite a ton of of other more experienced candidates because to Republicans, "pedigree" is more important than skill or experience (see: "George W Bush").

he's a clogged douche-nozzel at best

YAY HAL!! Dennis Prager IS a liar!

Stand up to the wingers, Hal!

Hal thinks he offal?

Steph needs to lay off on Vilsack. If she saw the video of the presser, she would have seen Sherrod give Vilsack a big hug.

Step! That stupid music almost got me fired!!!! }; (

Well, gotta go ... see you at the rally. I'll be holding this sign:

Don't Puke on Me

Bets --- his neck is as thick as a pencil and red.

Beck and MLK angle, I re-iterate a potential sign:

I have a deram

Terrorist chickens . As God is my witness, I thought they could fly.

By "relationship", she means Vilsack's lips on her butt

wonder if Vilsak got deflated

Sean Connery is 80 today.

Arizona immigration law + empty prisons = money for Smokin Jan

Thanks for the shout-out!

Is Arianna a closet teabagger?

i love when Hal talks us down from the ledge

Stewart steals from Randi, Colbert steals from momma. Both ladies should crash their show.

For more Glenn Beck fun, here's a commercial from his morning zoo days. Not a chalkboard in sight.

Good point.

If all Muslims are terrorists because ofthe actions of a few on 9/11...

Then all Tea-baggers are Nazi racists because of a few people holding racist Nazi signs at their protests.

See how that works? :)

that was a brilliant bit by Jon Stewart

Brian Kilmeade thinking = dog chasing tail.

Today's Remedial logic lesson for Right Wingers:
Osama Bin Laden is angry US troops (particularly female troops) are stationed on what he considers sacred ground in the Middle East and as a result drums up anger against Americans eventually convincing radicals (AKA nutjobs) to kill Americans in terrorist acts.
Right Wing Pundits are angry Muslims want to build a community center near what they consider sacred ground and begin drumming up anger against muslims until sometime soon someone's going to plant a pipe bomb at which point these pundits become exactly the same as Osama Bin Laden. Good Work Everybody!

thanks for the extra vomitus berries Mama

#79: The documentary film 'Why We Fight' uses Ike's theme and does a terrific job of expanding on it.

Obama is a "radical, radical leftist"? So he spent his college-years throwing Molotov cocktails thru windows of European banks?

Fact is, most American conservatives have never seen a true leftist.

Did Hal say, "Ben there, Dumb that"?

Wait...Rush had a kid? Someone had sex with Jabba the Nut and spew forth his little worm baby?
