Egregious mixed metaphor of the day: “Mr. Colbert has taken the equivalent of a political homework assignment and sprinkled a little silly sauce on top, and people seem happy to dig in.”

Sarah Palin says she wants to help the journalism industry fix its reputation by applying her journalism degree.

Lololololol.

Is this where my journalism degree is leading me???

Really, dude? Your first mistake was sending the photo, but then you had to lie about it? Your last name is Weiner. You didn’t think the media was going to jump on this one and investigate? Way to make Democrats look bad. You’re not just a Weiner, you’re a dick and a bonehead.
