Modern politics moves fast. Too fast if you are Rep. Michele Bachmann. A month ago, the Minnesota Republican was the toast of the town — the town being Ames, Iowa — when she emerged victorious in a straw poll traditionally regarded as a key early test of organization and firepower in the GOP presidential primary process. Today? Nowheresville: population, Bachmann.

Former Rep. David Wu (D-OR), who resigned from the House last month because of an alleged sexual encounter with the daughter of a donor, made a surprise appearance at President Obama's speech to Congress, The Hill reports. "His former Democratic colleagues kept their distance, keeping several seats away from him in the minutes before the speech when most took the time to mingle or position themselves to shake the president's hand."

Near the end of your interview, Ingraham offers this observation: "This character at The Post and Courier clearly wants to portray you as someone hypocritical, that you're not what you pretend to be." [...] You responded: "All I will tell you is, God bless that little girl at The Post and Courier. Her job is to create conflict, my job is to create jobs." Little girl?

I’ve got a few homosexual patients and I treat them just the same as anybody else. I love them perhaps even more because I know they are going to die at least 20 years earlier and it’s something I have no control over and we need to reach out to them to try to get them to change their lifestyle and back to the normal lifestyle which we can accept.
Did you know that National Organization For Marriage board member Orson Scott Card rewrote Hamlet? It’s totally true! NOM’s own Card rewrote the Bard’s most popular work so that gays could be — wait for it, wait for it — more properly demonized. This from “Rain Taxi Review of Books”: “The extent of the [Hamlet's Father] failure is surprising—and embarrassing, given that Card is a skilled veteran novelist and Subterranean a well-respected press. The most polite thing for us to do would be to walk away and quietly forget the whole painful exercise. But Card does not deserve our polite amnesia. His failures should be known and remembered, because the revelation in his ‘revelatory new version’ turns out to be a nightmare of vitriolic homophobia. Here’s the punch line: Old King Hamlet was an inadequate king because he was gay, an evil person because he was gay, and, ultimately, a demonic and ghostly father of lies who convinces young Hamlet to exact imaginary revenge on innocent people. The old king was actually murdered by Horatio, in revenge for molesting him as a young boy—along with Laertes, and Rosencrantz, and Guildenstern, thereby turning all of them gay. We learn that Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are now ‘as fusty and peculiar as an old married couple. I pity the woman who tries to wed her way into that house.’”
