Then, to The Twit ... (obviously, choose which meaning has most meaning for you ...)

Senator Clair McCaskill (D-MO) loves twitter. On more than one occasion and re more than one issue, Claire's Twitter comments have raised eyebrows for their "embarrassing mistakes or faults". And, on more than one occasion, people have used Twitter to twit Claire about her statements.

Rush Limbaugh as a vessel of hate is a reliable barometer of where the Republican right that preaches about Christian virtue and compassionate conservatism really stands.  Limbaugh seemingly cannot go long without making tasteless comments laced with venom, a pattern as habitual as a duck taking to water.

Limbaugh's latest disgrace is his verbal attack on Michael J. Fox for having the sheer audacity to make a commercial favoring a Democrat running for political office, as the popular actor did when he endorsed Claire McCaskill for the Senate in Missouri.  

In observing that Fox, who suffers from Parkinson's Disease, was noticeably shaking during the commercial message in which he lauded McCaskill for her support of stem cell research, correlating it with efforts to combat diseases such as the one from which he suffers, Limbaugh made one of his sickest comments yet. Considering his extensive track record that encompasses significant ground.

Limbaugh made the observation that Fox in the ad for McCaskill appeared not to have taken his medication.  Later in the week, after being subjected to strong criticism for his tasteless observation, Limbaugh made a conditional apology.  "If I was really wrong then I apologize," Limbaugh responded.

Tonight, Jim Talent(R) fired back against the heartbreaking ad that Michael J. Fox made for the Claire McCaskill campaign.  No, this wasn't the clumsy, amateurish ad that was featured on Drudge earlier today.  This was a quite well produced ad featuring Talent on screen, voicing his support for science -- and his disgust at his opponent's "attack ads."

In his ad, Talent was back to his usual low-key, reasonable guy mode, as he told how he didn't oppose research.  He opposed... human cloning.  This was a term he repeated later in the ad, saying again that he had made a "moral and ethical decision" that he couldn't support human cloning.  

Despite the false information, it was a well made ad.  Too bad for Talent, he didn't buy the thirty seconds that followed.
