This Week

Jerry Sandusky can not seem to stop speaking into microphones about just how much he likes hanging out with kids.   An unorthodox  strategy to fight molestation charges to say the least.  But it turns out after decades of committing child rape,  Jerry  Sanduysky is the real victim here and that lands him in this weeks Oh My God segment.

CPAC, the annual gathering of ultra conservatives, took place last weekend and,  besides being more fun to watch than Christian television, it also featured a hack comedian who managed to squeeze in two jokes in his 14 minutes on stage. It is the kind of comedy that makes Paul Gilmartin genuinely sad and sick. Of course the comedian is white, male, and christian, which means he is also a victim!.  Lets listen as he laments on how hard it is being a white,male,christian conservative in show bizness and how the liberal media keeps them off TV.

Yes the liberals who own the media wont put conservatives on TV. Don’t believe me?  Just as him, or Kelsey Grammer, Drew Carey, or Patricia Heaton.

The Catholic Church is upset about Obamacare mandating they provide contraception coverage to their employees. Chris Mathews brings on a “Catholic Scholar” who explains that the Catholic Church are also victims.  It seems to be a theme this week or something, but yes even one of largest and most powerful institutions in the world is also a victim and they are tired of being “beaten up”!   I swear I am not making any of this up.

Gay Marriage has now passed he New Jersey Legislature and Chris Christie calls in to explain why he is against it. Bill Orielley also has his bush in a knot about the Catholic Church and contraception and he calls in to scream a little.

With Frank Conniff, Mike MacRae, Paul Gilmartin, Steve Rosenfield. Robert Yasumura


Jerry Sandusky continues to speak in front of live microphones.

Jerry Sandusky is trying to prove that he’s a good guy and  not a molester by repeatedly telling people how much he likes hanging out with kids. Here he is also tryiing to get his bail conditions eased.  His house butts up against the back of a school and a children’s playground, and neighbors have complained that he is on his back porch when the children are on the playground. He is not allowed out of his house, or do any of the usual things he used to do , and he just doesn’t understand why.

He wants you to know that he is definitely the victim here. I was waiting for him to say “This is the thanks I get for teaching all those kids how  to shower?”. I imagine if I talked with him our conversation would go something like this”

Sandusky: “I don’t get why I can’t just do the things I used to do in my community.

Me: “Because Jerry, you’re accused of raping children.”

Sandusky: “Yes, that is one thing I used to do in my community.”

Below are a few of my favorite quotes from his press conference:

I have been associated with thousands of children over the years”.  Yeah, and some you weren’t even attracted to.

My friends want to see me and spend time with me, and I have to tell them I can’t”.. – But did you tell them the reason you can’t see them is cuz you are  busy staring at the kids next door on the playground.

Now I have often wondered what kind of a horrible lawyer keeps letting their client speak like this on camera?  But for all I know we could be witnessing the single greatest piece of lawyering in history. See, by the time Sandusky walks into court, they will have hours of news footage of him proving he is too incompetent to stand trial. And if that doesn’t work, an appeal based on incompetence of counsel seems to be a lock.

This Week:

Ron Paul is one the chosen few overly-religious-morons who thinks life begins at conception.  He sat down with Piers Morgan and gets exposed for the contradictory, hypocritical, ignoramus he is being. Yes, he got taken down by PIERS MORGAN. Good thing for Ron Paul he didn’t have to battle it out with Ryan Seacrest.

Mitt Romney has a problem: The more people get to know him, the less they like him. And if Mitt Romney were capable of human emotion, that would really hurt his feelings.  He calls in to explain why people don’t like him.

Clint Eastwood Super Bowl  commercial for Chrysler has been criticized as being a Pro-Obama commercial.  Eastwood is pissed and calls in to sling a few racial insults.

OH MY GOD: East Haven  Conneticut Mayor Joseph Maturo is a  true Moron who doesn’t know that when you are in a hole, you should stop digging. But he doesn’t . It may be the most priceless OMG segment to date.

This week :

Mitt Romney doesn’t worry about the “very poor” ,  he calls in to explain what he meant  and it turns out exactly what we thought in the first place.

Tony Perkins, president of the Family research Council, super christian and all around piece of shit, turns up the heat and bashes gays and Muslims in the same sentence, but don’t forget he’s Chris Mathews “Pal”.

Paul Dean, who recently revealed she developed  adult diabetes three years ago, caused a bit of a stir recently when she was  seen eating a triple cheeseburger on a cruise ship .  She calls in to let us know how she is handling “Moderation”.

Mike MacRae does a great job on all the celebrity voices on this weeks show.

With Steve Rosenfield, and Jonathan Corbett.


“Mr. Romney says the “Very Poor” are doing Great!

Thats right, he’s worried about the 90 to 95% of americans who are struggling, and apparently that doesn’t include the “very poor” , cuz they’re doing great!

Nope, not worried about the “very poor”,  cuz, we all know who makes out like bandits during a depression,  the poor!

But do you know who isn’t doing well and needs help? It would be the people who have more money than the “very Poor” and are sitting above the “very poor” on the economic ladder, the middle class.

Thats right, you think being “very poor” is tough?  Well try getting a better house and more money and then you will know the meaning of struggle.

At least the reporter pushed back a tinsy bit before letting his bullshit about the very poor doing swimmingly go out over the air.

Am I out of my mind, but he did just say that the people who are really hurting are not the very poor, but the people with more money and better incomes? Those are the people that are hurting, the people who are above the “very poor” on the economic ladder.  Got it.  Way to connect!!

This Week:

In case you were in the market for evidence democracy is a terrible form of government: The mob that shows up to

Republican Presidential debates seems to fit the bill. We take a look at the crazy audience reaction to rational statements and their acceptance of  hate filled rhetoric.

Morgan Freeman, who has been dating and having sex with his own grand daughter,  received a lifetime Achievement award at the Golden Globes and everybody pretended he is as dignified and moral as the characters he plays. So he calls in to explain what he was thinking when he got the award, and what silent message Sidney Poitier sent him,

Herman Cain calls in to and begs us to send him some of our sweet Public Radio money so he can get back into the presidential race.

With Frank Conniff, Paul Gilmartin, Steve Rosenfield, Mike MacRae



Paula Dean show us how to make a “Donut-Burger”!

So you are telling me that someone who teaches people how to make donut-burgers has developed diabetes?  What a shocker! The next thing you are going to be telling me is that CHris Christie has heartburn.

But wait, now she  claims she has always  preached “moderation”, no kidding, just watch, she does it with a straight face too:

Of course she preaches and practices moderation, thats why she is morbidly obese and developed adult diabetes. Got it.

Sure she eats in moderation, and then if she is still hungry, she eats everything else.

This Week:

Are you critical of the Obama Administration for ramping up the Afghanistan war, not  closing Guantanamo, signing a bill that throws out Habeas Corpus, caving in on the Bush Tax cuts, implementing right wing education policies, and being a complete toadie of Wall Street? Well Andrew Sullivan says you are upset, not because you have a legitimate point, but because  you need to grow up. And Chris Matthews agrees with him. Not Kidding.

Guess what happens when a black guys asks Newt Gingrich if he can see how telling black people that they should demand “pay checks instead of food stamps” is belittling to  African Americans? A roomful of white people boo him. We take a look back at the first South Carolina Presidential debate and it is not pretty.

Former Louisiana  Governor Buddy Roemer , the real guy not Mike MacRae, calls in to talk about getting money out of politics, the SOPA bill, and fixing our broken political system.

Paula Dean, the beloved Southern Chef calls in and  reveals that she is suffering from Type ll Diabetes.  Kind of shocking to hear that someone who teaches people how to make “Donut-burgers” has diabetes? Next thing you know they’re gonna  tell me is that Rip Torn has liver problems.

Todd Palin endorsed Newt Gingrich, I didn’t even know he was allowed to endorse anyone, and he calls in to let us know how important it is.

Plus Rick Perry calls in to look back on the Presidential Campaign, and Governor Chris Christie calls in to defend Paula Dean and her eating habits.

With Mike MacRae, Frank Conniff, Steve Rosenfield, Paul Gilmartin, and Todd Palin performed by Ian Bagg

Andrew Sullivan wants you to GROW UP.

Buddy Roemer being kept out of debates

Paula Dean has diabetes? Go Figure.
