If she were in the White House, [Palin] said, the “department of law” would protect her from baseless ethical allegations. “I think on a national level, your department of law there in the White House would look at some of the things that we’ve been charged with and automatically throw them out,” she said. There is no “Department of Law” at the White House.
Oh, Sarah.

The brain trust at Fox & Friends is often swatting at confusing things, trying in vain to figure them out, and today was no exception. The topic was that thing that’s going on in Iran with the votes or whatever. Their discussion mostly involved Brian Kilmeade—who we often think is the worst of the bunch but then we remember the other two and have to start all over again—trying to smash a round peg into the square hole of his mind and in the end failing to come up with anything more astute than People in Iran have long names. In the background Gretchen Carlson—she’s the worst! Oh, wait. No, there’s Doocy too. And Kilmeade. Fuck.—nodded sagely and pawed a dust mote, while Doocy just softly wept in a corner, praying for news about things that are easy. Like Sarah Palin’s daughter.
Much like my love of Hortense, Richard Lawson is what’s really keeping me reading Gawker now that Pareene seems to show up less and less. He has a Trueslant blog now or something? Whatever. Richard makes me laugh. I also like to just say the word “Doocy” a lot.

“Awwww, yeah! Check out this fine flashy gentleman. Glitter and Gold Rio didn’t mess around, ladies. He had purple hair and a gold lame suit with the kind of sparkle power that could easily knock Vampire Boy to the ground. And he dates Jem, which only ups his sparkle power. See his hands in this picture? He’s holding his right hand up, but he’s saying, ‘Edward Cullen, to the left, to the left.’” via Hortense at Jezebel. (Am I the only one who thinks Jezebel is a million times better on the weekend when Hortense is writing everything?)

One more, just because there are SO MANY AWESOME 1991-y things about this outfit I can’t even pick the best one. Is it the puffy shirt? The slightly-more-dignified-than-Hammer-pants Hammer pants? The sad little slip-on flats? The pompadour? ALL THOSE PLEATS? via Jezebel
The only bright spot in all of this is that Matt Taibbi is going to be so pissed about it, and we kind of like it when Taibbi is pissed off about something.

You know, he really is an inspiration to young men everywhere — to know that just because you spent your early adolescence doing weak-ass Jodeci impressions for squealing eight-year-old girls with future members of NSYNC on a TV show named after a cartoon mouse, it doesn’t mean you can’t still grow up and be nominated for an Academy Award for your role as a crackhead middle school teacher. Kudos!
