I decided to post the Countdown version this year, which featured David Shuster sitting in for Keith Olbermann.
Of course almost all of the versions of this are fairly entertaining, but something about the classics just keeps us coming back to them.
Hey folks remember when people actually thought this moron might run for president?
Ah, good times.

Is it Thanksgiving already? Well you know what that means!
I know that some of you expressed a desire NOT to see this video this morning, but much like seeing Uncle Harold pass out with his pants unzipped in front of the football game after dinner this too is a Thanksgiving tradition.
Besides WHO can really get tired of watching Sarah Palin fail so hilariously at trying to mimic the President turkey pardon.
My favorite part is that according to my friend Linda Kellen Biegel, (Celtic Diva) who was there that day, the cameraman suggested that she might want to move to a different location, but she looked back and then said she was fine right there.
And the rest is Thanksgiving history.

It's Thanksgiving morning, so you know what THAT means!
I swear this interview of Palin's sill NEVER get old.
I remember when it first happened watching it on TV with my jaw literally on the floor. I thought I had seen her at her most clueless, but boy was I wrong!
I cannot even begin to tell you the number of versions I have watched over the last four years, and some are VERY imaginative. (Here is one of my favorites.)
HAPPY THANKSGIVING EVERYBODY!

"This is how we feed animals" RNC attendee throws nuts at black CNN camera woman. Update!
Last night this tweet showed up on David Shuster's Twitter account:
The CNN official declined to confirm specific details of the incident to TPM but generally confirmed an account posted on Twitter by former MSNBC and Current anchor David Shuster: “GOP attendee ejected for throwing nuts at African American CNN camera woman + saying ‘This is how we feed animals.’”
It is not clear whether the alleged culprit was a delegate or attending the convention in some other capacity.
In a written statement, CNN addressed the matter but divulged few details: “CNN can confirm there was an incident directed at an employee inside the Tampa Bay Times Forum earlier this afternoon. CNN worked with convention officials to address this matter and will have no further comment.”
TPM’s calls to RNC and convention officials were not immediately returned.
Good to know that all of those accusations of racism within the Republican party are unfounded, don't you think?
Update: The RNC has issued a statement:
“Yesterday two attendees exhibited deplorable behavior. Their conduct was inexcusable and unacceptable. This kind of behavior will not be tolerated.”
Yes "not tolerated" just actively encouraged through subliminal, and not so subliminal, messages right? Assholes!
So TPM decided to check and see if Shuster was accurate. He was:GOP attendee ejected for throwing nuts at African American CNN camera woman + saying "This is how we feed animals."

President Obama calls Sandra Fluke, victim of horrible smear campaign by Rush Limgaugh, to offer his support.
Once again I am impressed with our President's sheer humanity.
Good for him for calling Sandra Fluke and telling her that her parents should be proud of her. I have little doubt that they are indeed proud of her.
On the other hand Limbaugh's day is going from bad to worse.
He is hemorrhaging advertisers, while there is an organized effort to boycott those who remain with him.
His name is being used to paint Republican presidential candidates Mitt Romney and Rick Santorum as cowards and misogynists for not calling him out over his disgusting remarks.
And even Greta Van Susteren has been singled out by Mediaite as a hypocrite for staying silent on the issue when she has a long history of going after liberals and others for any perceived sexist remarks on THEIR part.
Limbaugh, who many believe is essentially in charge of the Republican party these days, is causing the kind of damage to his party that President Obama and the leaders of the DNC could only dream of doing on their own.
In the past individuals who have said far less inflammatory things on the air, like Don Imus, Ed Schultz, and David Shuster, were suspended or their remarks or lost their jobs altogether.
So one must ask, is there a double standard when it comes to Rush Limbaugh? Is EVERYBODY too afraid of his fat ass to fire him or demand that he be suspended?
This piece of shit is a fucking bully and he needs to be taught that he cannot abuse people like this and get away with it. Perhaps if he loses enough advertisers Clear Channel will finally get the message that his kind of hateful rhetoric is just not welcome in Barack Obama's America.
(I added that last part just to REALLY piss off the racists!)

Andrew Breitbart gives the worst interview EVER!
Visit msnbc.com for breaking news, world news, and news about the economy
Wow! have you ever seen anybody as defensive as this guy?
Yeah, MSNBC and other media sources did kind of jump the gun about wiretapping, but when you have two guys dressed like phone company repairmen, and they have a guy with a recording device sitting outside in the car, it is a fairly easy mistake to make.
I think this guy is a joke and he is terrified that the conviction of O'Keefe will reveal that he is a partisan hack who was so desperate to find some dirt on the Democrats that he was willing to hire a little weasel whose only claim to journalistic ability was a completely manufactured ACORN expose.
And this is the kind of "journalism" practiced by Fox News and its affiliates. No wonder the teabaggers are so ignorant.

Shannyn Moore's appearance on MSNBC today.

I almost missed this and was just talking on the phone when suddenly...there was Shannyn!
As usual she did great, and even mentioned Team Sarah's Columbus Day Phone Blast boondoggle.

Dentist/Real Estate Broker/"Lawyer" Orly Taitz gets humiliated in court by judge who reminds her that she is not "Alice in Wonderland".
The judge specifically addresses Rhodes’ “birther” arguments, including allegations that Obama might have used 149 addresses and 39 Social Security numbers before becoming president and the existence of what Taitz claims is Obama’s Kenyan birth certificate.
“Finally, in a remarkable shifting of the traditional legal burden of proof, plaintiff unashamedly alleges that defendant has the burden to prove his ‘natural born’ status,” Land states. “Any middle school civics student would readily recognize the irony of abandoning fundamental principles upon which our country was founded in order to purportedly ‘protect and preserve’ those very principles.
“Unlike in ‘Alice in Wonderland,’ simply saying something is so does not make it so,” Land says.
Damn it! Ms. Taitz was SO close to proving that Barack Obama was an alien from the planet "Not white enough to be our President". If only she had drawn the Mad Hatter as the presiding judge.
If you want a good laugh take a moment to read the entire PDF of Judge Land's decision. It is brutal! (The REALLY good part starts on page 7.)
If you have not had the "pleasure" of seeing this guano crazy lady in action take a moment to watch her interview on MSNBC with David Shuster and Tamron Hall.
Wow that is a boatload of crazy!
Can you imagine what she must have been like in a court of law?

Countdown points out the hypocrisy of the Republicans 9-12 protest. Not hard to do as now the GOP hypocrisy can be seen from space!

I would have liked it better with Keith at the helm, but Shuster did pretty good.
I would like to say I am amazed at the hatred on display at these rallies, but sadly I have become accustomed to seeing that kind of ignorance and unabashed prejudice. We are entering a very sad chapter in the history of our country to be sure.

David Shuster, standing in for Keith Olbermann, points out how clueless our Governor is concerning the stimulus money.
Visit msnbc.com for Breaking News, World News, and News about the Economy
How special do we feel that our governor is one of the only TWO governors who have put their own selfish political aspirations ahead of the needs of their constituents?
Shuster cannot even mention Sarah Palin without having to stifle a chuckle.
Simply put she is a national embarrassment.

David Shuster grills John Ziegler, the man responsible for the latest Sarah Palin interview, and makes him look like an idiot.
Now why isn't David Shuster the host of "Meet the Press"?
Clearly he has much bigger balls then David Gregory.
The funny thing is that Ziegler almost looked like he felt betrayed by Sarah Palin for saying that his video misrepresented her, but then he remembered he was supposed to be supporting her and went on the attack.
