Is Rep. Carolyn Maloney demonstrating poor gun safety?

http://twitter.com/#!/SooperMexican/status/436681570468909056

For Throwback Thursday, Rep. Carolyn Maloney (D-N.Y.) posted a photo of herself stumping for an assault weapons ban in the ’90s. As closely as we can zoom in, we can’t tell if her finger is on the trigger — a clear violation of gun safety rules — or not. What does anyone else think?

‘Nailed this one!’ Martha MacCallum slams Obama with crushing quote

http://twitter.com/#!/marthamaccallum/status/412560929000144896

O-Bam!

Fox News’ Martha MacCallum was quoting Michael Goodwin, who rightly and gloriously blasted the “clown kings” pair for the funeral selfie at the Mandela memorial.

http://twitter.com/#!/terresamonroe/status/412575986551500800

More from the New York Post:

It’s official — the government of the United States of Obama consists of boobs and bores and is led by a narcissist. It is no consolation that Great Britain joins us in racing to the bottom.

President Obama’s flirting with Denmark’s prime minister would be shameful on any occasion. That it happened at the memorial for Nelson Mandela only adds to the embarrassment.

But the “selfie” episode also symbolizes the greater global calamity of Western decline. With British prime minister David Cameron playing the role of Obama’s giggling wingman, the “look at me” moment confirms we have unserious leaders in a dangerously serious time.

Dead-on. Read the whole thing. Seriously.

MacCallum’s beautiful tweet scored:

Smart move. Keep the tweets coming, Ms. MacCallum!
