Amanda Carpenter's Hysterical Tweet

We're likely keeping Benghazi terrorist on a ship instead of GTMO, a secure facility that's made for this http://t.co/WRzD2CaXYR

Via Talking Points Memo: Ted Cruz speechwriter, Amanda Carpenter, somehow believes that Ahmed Abu Khatallah is going to overtake an entire Navy crew unarmed and swim to shore. Carpenter has been watching Under Siege one too many times.

Quote of the Day

Amanda Carpenter should talk to Litbrit. She blogs at TSA News Blog. Litbrit will not travel on a plane because of the TSA patdowns. Litbrit is also no fans of intrusive anti-abortion laws.

In Carpenter's mind, women that don't want a large medical object shoved inside of them want a stranger to fondle them in a security line. That makes absolutely no sense.

Conservative Tweets That Read Like The Onion

Amanda Carpenter posted hysterical tweets on Marco Rubio here, here and here. Because Twitter only allows 140 characters. Carpenter had to break up her post into separate tweets. I edited them together.

"While cooking dinner I had a vision of Rubio giving a speech on conservative values and economic opportunity to Latino union workers in AZ in Spanish. That could be pretty moving, no?"

I laughed my ass off when I read the tweets. The sad thing is Carpenter was not being sardonic. Carpenter works as the senior communications adviser and speechwriter for the Jim DeMint campaign.

Rubio surports Arizona's anti-immigration law and is against card check. Rubio speaking to Hispanic union members in Arizona would go over about as well as Alan Keyes at an NAACP forum.

Obama on the Stupak Amendment

Talking Points Memo's Amanda Carpenter reports on President Barack Obama's position on the Stupak-Pitts amendment in the health care bill.

Classic-Obama tells ABC no "sneaking in funding for abortions, but, on the other hand, that we're not restricting women's insurance choices"

Could Obama be anymore vague? The Stupak-Pitts amendment would restrict abortion for many low income women. Congressman Anthony Weiner fears health insurance companies will not paticipating in the exchange will offer private coverage for abortions. Insurance companies will not offer coverage for abortions, to stay in compliance with the law. This is what makes Obama's vagueness so unsatisfying.
