Enraged, Maddow Explains ‘Racist History’ Tea Party Is Embracing

9:58 am, Tuesday

video

Wow. Rachel Maddow will not be giving the Tea Partiers any sort of free pass and once you watch this you may understand why. Specifically, Maddow is criticizing (actually, she's eviscerating...no joke) what she calls the Tea Partiers "embrace of racist history" -- in this case, a call for the return of segregation-era literacy tests.

Stephen Colbert: ‘Sarah Palin is a F***king Retard’

10:06 am, Tuesday

The usually reliable Keith Olbermann's inability to nail Rush Limbaugh and Sarah Palin on Limbaugh's use of the term "retard" has been pretty frustrating. Sure, he has posited Palin as a hypocrite, but several times he has repeated Rush's and Palin's dueling assertions that he was "quoting" Rahm Emanuel, or that he was being "satirical," without really challenging it. Luckily, Stephen Colbert actually knows what the word "satire" means, and deployed a pile of it on Palin and Rush last night.
