Well that's it, I've killed the liveblog. Goodbye, and if I don't see you tomorrow, have a great weekend. And if you're flying somewhere, may there be no babies, no turtles, no cougars and no snakes on your mutha-fussin' plane!!

#9: "Momma comin’ to Dee-Town! and promises to be off the hook!"

Mark, for the price of a front row seat you can unhook her yourself.

Angelo's timid little laugh at the thought of being punched in the throat by Steph's 88 year old Republican mother.

Builing an ark to save the Jews? So the Jews are animals??

The ways of the Reich are so confusing.

I can't imagine why anyone would vote for Michele Bachmann. She's not a very inspiring candidate. She's not even a good speaker, with or without the high monotone. Obama's no Lincoln, but Bachmann sure ain't in Obama's league, as we'll see if they ever debate.

And has anyone used the term Stepford wife yet?

Y...aay...!

#11 - AGREE! You see, don't need entertaing but egocentric Hal or big noise Aisha to do a great show!

People need to be reminded that the top earners and corporation get far more benefits from government spending then the rest of us. And they have far more to lose if the government were to dissolve.

Love the show!!

Ulright, gotta go do a thing. At least there is
a real caller on the line now. SBIC smartest boy in
class

Oh Goody! uhnother moron Fox listener jackass
who happens to sound like a yokel

Billy from Doofus: Ahmm Kerrect an' yer lyin! Ha!
Billy, you are a dunce.

17 the Bachmanns are both very, very creepy.
Her with her "strangely unfocused eyes" & him
with his effeminate homophobic foolery... they
are obviously products of some kind of twisted
Mind Kontrol experiment gone horribly wrong... or
right. Monarch Mind Kontrol trauma-based multiple
personalities who don't know the Others exist...

Can you see this pair as the first family? A crazed woman and her closeted hubby!

did Momma just say "from upskirt New York"?

#1: "Katrina & The Waves orders Michele Bachmann to stop using “Walking on Sunshine”"

I'm walking on Schadenfreude!

Pre-takeoff checklist: No babies: check. Turtles off the runway: check. Cougars: uh-oh, we're experiencing a cougar-related delay while they wheel Stephanie Miller over from the bar in Terminal 3...

Grooming the Wookie
Making the Kessel Run
Polishing Vader's Helmet
Lightsaber Practice with Captain Solo
Manually Targeting the Rebel Base
Performing the Jedi Hand Trick
Scratching Yoda Behind the Ears
Test Firing the Death Star
Bashing the Marcus Bachmann Senselessly
Allowing the Right Wing Yokel to drone on with
his moronic blithering with crap he hear on
Fox...

'disciplining your barbarian'... izzat whut the
kids are callin' it now...

Momma y Mooks on fire right now
Comedy Gold

Morning all...

Must discipline your barbarians... nasty, dirty barbarians...

Momma comin' to Dee-Town! and promises to be off
the hook! We got whachu need here in the Big D,
momma!

Koala Luampur? Momma prolly'd get canned if she
went there...

HULLO! what matter of twisted gibberish this
blighted a.m.? Dackter Marcus Bachmann, closeted
self-hating "Christian" homophobe practices his
quackery on the public dime... nice.

2 Susan Hayward birthday today? Ulways thott she
wuz hott! and without a doubt a class act

I, like you, would like our ( purchased) I mean elected officials to do their job. As a 40 year old, disabled woman I would love to tell the Republicans to stop thinking that cutting the $883.00 a month I live on from SS and the Medicare I use to buy my wheelchair will fix the budget problem.
I don't know about you, but I can only cut so much from my monthly budget before I must add revenue. Additionally, and the first thing most people cut when they have a budget problem are the luxury items; however, I guess for some of us Republican feel that food is now a luxury item.

Now this is just my opinion and according to some I am a parasite killing the host...just like our president..."YEAH"

Have a great day!

Mark Halperin calls President Obama a 'Dick' on live TV. Apologizes profusely. Joe's anger seemingly reserved for producer for not hitting dump button. Halperin finishes out show. It seems not only incredibly disrespectful and inappropriate but revealing of his political alignment. Hopefully this will FINALLY reveal him as the utter hack that he is.

OMG - Bachman's hubby has a true sangria voice - you know, fruit AND whine!

Happy Thursday Tim and all posters on the ancient Live Blog. I'm looking forward to the 4th of July weekend to recover from last weekend's double-dip of Sexy Liberal Show and the Pride Parade!

Boxing's Mike Tyson is 45, actor Vince D'Onofrio is 52, comedian David Alan Grier is 56, actor Rupert Graves is 48, Olympian Michael Phelps is 26, singer Fantasia Barrino is 27, film Romeo actor Leonard Whiting is 61, Broadway and TV actress Nancy Dussault is 75, Talk Back's David Horowitz is 74 and conductor Esa-Pekka Salonen is 53. Happy Birthday Cancers!

Also, born on this date in 1943 original Supreme Florence Ballard, and in 1917 actress Susan Hawyard, who voices Momma's favorite "They drummed you out of Hollywood . . . doesn't go for booze and dope" drop. They were only 32 and 57 when they passed, respectively.

Katrina & The Waves orders Michele Bachmann to stop using "Walking on Sunshine":

Prediction: Bachmann will say she refuses to give in to demands from a group that tastelessly named itself after a hurricane.
