I think the best way to end today is with the great Stephen Colbert.

Yeah I think that made me feel a little bit better.

No it certainly did not take the hurt away, but it helped.

It helped.

Every little bit....it helps.

Showtime's "The Circus" certainly captured the mood of audience members during Sarah Palin's now infamous Wisconsin speech.

Courtesy of The Scoop: 

THE CIRCUS is produced in cooperation with BLOOMBERG POLITICS and features managing editors Mark Halperin and John Heilemann (co-authors of the New York Times best-sellers Game Change and Double Down, and co-hosts of the nightly political show "With All Due Respect" on Bloomberg Television) and noted campaign strategist Mark McKinnon. THE CIRCUS is produced by Left/Right, a part of RED ARROW Entertainment Group, for SHOWTIME. Mark Halperin, John Heilemann, Mark McKinnon, Banks Tarver and Ken Druckerman serve as executive producers.

You gotta love the audience's reaction to Palins' "speechifying."

I wonder if Palin knew that she was talking to Mark Halperin and John Heilemann, the two men who wrote the great book "Game Change," that was then turned into an HBO movie starring Julianne Moore.

In fact didn't Moore win an Emmy for her portrayal of Sarah Palin in that movie?

Why yes she did.

In other Palin news of the day, a rapper that I have never heard of went off on Sarah Palin in a rather unnecessarily aggressive manner.

In response Palin tried to take the high road and asked if we could all just work together on something worthwhile, like condoning racism. Wait, what?

As it turns out Palin did not understand what the word "condoning" means (Yeah right!) and now the Facebook post has been corrected.

Hey look what do you expect from a person who went to five different colleges for a degree?

Heckuva job. Jeb Bush praises Michigan governor Rick Snyder, for apparently poisoning children?

"I'd like to strangle me some terrorists. Yup, I sure would."

Courtesy of HuffPo: 

Republican presidential candidate Jeb Bush on Sunday applauded Michigan Gov. Rick Snyder's response to the water contamination crisis in Flint -- even though the situation was caused by Snyder's own administration. 

 "I admire Rick Snyder for stepping up right now," Bush said on CNN's "State of the Union." "He's going to the challenge. He's fired people and accepted responsibility to fix this."

This comes amid calls for Snyder's resignation for hiring the city manger who created the water disaster in the first place, ignoring the initial reports that there was a problem, and responding only when the media attention left him no choice.

Here is what Jeb! finds so admirable:

"Instead of saying, 'The dog ate my homework, it's someone else's fault,' once it became clear, he's taking the lead now," Bush said. "That's exactly what I think leaders have to do."

Once again HE HAD NO CHOICE but to respond.

Just how many lead paint chips did the Bush boys eat while growing up?

Of course if this whole running for president thing doesn't work out Jeb! has a fall back career choice.

He'd like to strangle some terrorists on the Showtime series "Homeland."

Looks like I'm on @Showtime this week...unfortunately not @SHO_Homeland...was hoping to kill a terrorist: https://t.co/UWcL5UR96d

Okay for one thing, there is no strangling in G rated films.

Secondly have you ever seen Jeb Bush's skinny ass arms?

I would be surprised if he could choke out a hamster much less strangle a full grown terrorist.

I don't actually believe in the devil, but if there were one he would look and sound just like this guy.

This program is being broadcast on Showtime, which is one of the few cable channels I don't have.

That might be a good thing since from what I saw in this clip, I am relatively sure I would desperately want to throw bricks at the screen every time Cheney's face appeared.

The man may not be Satan, but he is the next worst thing we currently have living on this planet.

I try not to hate, but in the case of George W. and his Svengali Dick Cheney, I am afraid I fail in that endeavor.
