Talk about projection!

MSNBC's Martin "Hussein" Bashir wets his panties whenever the dreaded Tea Party is mentioned. So he brought in some quack to make him and MSNBC's three viewers feel better.

Note the quotes from Mo Dowdy in the clip. Not only is she shooting Rep. Giffords again and again with her violent rhetoric, she also seems to be obsessed with those "Twilight" books. [Assuming she can read, of course. "...obsessed with those 'Twilight' movies." otherwise.] I guess that isn't really surprising. What else would a bitter, old, lonely, and dried-up left-fascist female want besides effeminate teenaged boys?

Holy crap! Philly is a freakin' hellhole. But...

..."child abuse"? Is spanking a child really "child abuse"? If you think it is, you're a dumbass.

That being said, the mother should have kicked Citizen Pickett in the groin, and not called in the family death squad.

From the UK Daily Mail:

Terrifying moment gunmen opened fire on packed bus - because a passenger dared to complain about mother spanking her child

As he rode the bus late one afternoon, Lefenus Pickett suddenly realised he could not stand by any longer.

A mother was spanking her child for running in the aisles so the 37-year-old intervened and told her: ‘That’s child abuse’.

Soon he would regret trying to be the Good Samaritan.

The woman, Penny Chapman, 20, is said to have made a call on her cell phone and minutes later two thugs began firing at the bus with an assault rifle and a handgun.

Terrifying: Gunmen take aim at the bus, firing rounds at horrified passengers

Petrified: Passengers cower for their lives as shots rain in on them

In terrifying CCTV video from inside the vehicle, passengers dive for cover and run for the front before the driver hit the gas and sped off.

Chapman was arrested and is now facing trial along with three men prosecutors say helped her during the terrifying incident in Philadelphia.

They are alleged gunmen Karon and Raheem Patterson, 19 and 21, and Angel Lecourt, 18, the paternal uncle of Chapman's son.

During a hearing a Philadelphia’s Municipal Court, Mr Pickett told how he boarded the route 47 bus in the city and saw Chapman get on.

Bus: The woman boards, dragging her young son before the argument

Mischievous: The playful child runs up and down the aisle, to his mother's annoyance

Intervened: Lefenus Pickett said he could not stand while a child was hit

He watched her young son run up and down the aisles then she spanked him. ‘I told her, that's child abuse, that's a little boy,’ Mr Pickett said, according to the Philadelphia Inquirer.

The CCTV footage then shows Chapman making a phone call.

When the bus stopped she got off the back doors and allegedly pointed out Mr Pickett and told a friend who had got on and said: ‘I want you to shoot that (racial slur)’.

As they flee two other men standing on the sidewalk wearing white T-shirts then open fire - causing panic on the bus.

‘At first I froze for a minute as I stood up,’ Mr Pickett told the court, according to the Philadelphia Inquirer.

Getaway: After making the call, the woman is helped off the bus by a family member

Gun: Another family member flashes a weapon before the shooting spree begins

‘But when I saw them actually shooting, I was just trying to move toward the front of the bus’.

In the panic a mother grabbed her child and an 80-year-old woman dropped to the floor just moments before a bullet shattered the glass over her head.

The passengers all rushed for the front as driver Desmond Jones, an Army veteran, sped off and went straight to hospital.

The gunmen fired a total of 13 bullets and of those five went through the back door and several went through the side - but incredibly nobody was injured.

Lucky escape: A bullet lies on the ground as police investigate the shooting

At the court hearing Mr Pickett recounted what happened to the judge as the CCTV was played on a big screen.

Prosecutors said that after the incident, which happened last month, came to light a police officer who patrols the neighbourhood was able to identify all the suspects and confirm they knew each other.

Judge James DeLeon ordered the four defendants to stand trial but dismissed charges against two others.

He said Lawrence Rahyle, 18, and Keith Bellamy, 23 did appear in the bus CCTV but were just spectators.

I know, I know. But Mike Tyson is like the world's biggest train wreck...I have to look.

He could [and should] have been the greatest ever. Please remember him and all fighters in your prayers.

From CBSNewYork.com:

Mike Tyson Says Prison Stint For Rape Not A Low Point, Admits To Boxing With Gonorrhea

Mike Tyson, despite his many troubles outside the boxing ring, has few regrets.

The former heavyweight champion told WFAN’s Craig Carton on Thursday that if he had to watch one fight from his career over again, it would be his shocking upset to 42-to-1 underdog James “Buster” Douglas.

Why? “Because I took a beating like a man,” said Tyson, who lost his unified title to Douglas on February 11, 1990.

Some boxing fans, Carton included, think that Tyson was robbed as the ref appeared to give a bad 10-count. Not so, said Tyson: “Nah, he got me.”

That’s when things got weird. Tyson admitted to having gonorrhea when he bested Trevor Berbick on November 22, 1986.

“I was dripping like a good humid July, man,” he said. [Emphasis mine. - F.G.]

EEEEEWWWWWW!

Tyson went on to describe the lowest point in his career, which, perhaps surprisingly, had nothing to do with his three-year stint in jail after being convicted for the rape of Desiree Washington in 1992.

“Listen … I’ve done a lot of time before I even got involved in boxing, so I never felt going to prison was a low point in my life,” he said. “I would think (Evander) Holyfield, biting his ear, that was lower to me, personally, than going to prison.”

The former champ made millions in his heyday and lost it all. He admitted he’s still not in great financial shape — but that’s alright.

“That’s not my objective, like it used to be,” he said. “But I’m happy. … From a family perspective, I’m happy to have my wife and children. I don’t know what I would do without them.”

Despite all his quirks, troubles and stumbles, Tyson was inducted this June into the International Boxing Hall of Fame. It was an honor he described as “very humbling.”

“I’m a would-be boxing historian,” he said. “I’m so happy to be part of that fraternity.”

Tyson will appear on national television in “Same Name” on CBS. He’ll trade places with Mike Tyson from Zeeland, Michigan for three days. The show airs this Sunday at 9 p.m.

In the program, the other Mike Tyson actually goes toe-to-toe in the boxing ring with two-time heavyweight champion Hasim Rahman.

“He’s an amazing guy,” said Tyson. “And man, when you see these two guys go at it, you’re not gonna believe this guy is a neophyte.”

As for “Iron” Mike’s short tenure as a nurse, well, that didn’t go as well.

“Disastrous, that’s what it was like,” he joked. “I almost gave somebody the wrong shot or something.”

More Dope and Mange from the mangiest presiphant ever.

Ooh! 117,000 more hamburger flipper jobs will surely get him reelected.

Q: What is the only way to get a lower "unemployment rate" when an economy has such consistently weak job creation numbers?

A: Decrease the number of possible jobs in the economy. [Our GDP is now lower than the day Okhrana took over.]
