Nobody stands by his garbage more steadfastly than Piers Morgan.

George Zimmerman’s brother, Robert, was scheduled to appear on CNN’s Piers Morgan Live tonight, but has pulled out of the appearance. Zimmerman said the reasons were Morgan’s “garbage” tweets about his brother, and as evidence Zimmerman cited a Twitchy post about Morgan’s idiotic pot stirring:

Morgan did find a different guest:

Will Jeantel refer to Morgan as a “creepy-ass cracker”? Only Jeantel, Morgan and his 15 viewers will know for sure.

White House shocked to hear about AP’s phone records being investigated

http://twitter.com/#!/KRenner2/status/334093736474705920

It’s a good thing the White House holds those press briefings, because how else would the President of the United States and his staff learn what’s going on in the world? Obama doesn’t get to watch TV during the day, so he learns about breaking scandals the same time the rest of us do, and sometimes much later. It’s no surprise, then, that White House Press Secretary Jay Carney claims the White House didn’t know anything about Eric Holder and the Justice Department pulling the phone records of AP reporters.

The Department of Justice? That’s just another independent organization, like the IRS or the State Department or the Vice President or @barackobama.

Jay Carney says WH had no knowledge before today’s press reports of Justice Dept attempt to obtain seek phone records of the AP reporters.

Carney further says WH “not involved in decisions” involving Justice Dept criminal investigations which “are handled independently” by DOJ.

President’s spokesman Carney tonight: “other than press reports, we have no knowledge of any attempt by Justice Dept. to seek (AP records)”

Carney: “Other than press reports, we have no knowledge of any attempt by the Justice Department to seek phone records of the AP.”

Smart Power!™ MT .@jimacostacnn: Carney: we have no knowledge of any attempt by the DOJ to seek phone records of the AP

— ChampionCapua (@ChampionCapua) May 13, 2013

Can u ask Carney what decisions the WH is INVOLVED in?Sounds like NONE. EVER. @markknoller ” WH not involved in decisions” involving DOJ”

— DinahLord (@DinahLord) May 13, 2013

“The buck stops, uh, over there.” MT @jimacostacnn: Carney: we have no knowledge of any attempt by the DOJ to seek phone records of the AP

— Gabriel Malor (@gabrielmalor) May 13, 2013

Carney Re: DOJ/AP: “we know Nothing”. I’m shocked.

— Pistol Pete (@Petemoss51) May 13, 2013

So is Jay Carney now distancing the WH from the DOJ? Doesn’t matter, no one believes anything that liar says @presssec

— gary grams (A) (@garygramscom) May 13, 2013

Jay Carney knows nothing about anything…what an embarrassment

— PAG (@AgingRepublican) May 13, 2013

It seems the White House is involved in nothing.

— Brendan Buck (@Brendan_Buck) May 13, 2013

… and that’s the way they’d like to keep it, thanks.

Sarah Palin at RightOnline: ‘The SWAT-ting must stop’

http://twitter.com/#!/DLoesch/status/213828495099445248

Sarah Palin thrilled the conservative crowd at the RightOnline conference in Las Vegas last night by joining the chorus of voices defending the freedom to blog. In her keynote address, the former Alaska governor called for an end to the vicious harassment and SWAT-ting of conservative bloggers.

Palin on SWATting and #BrettKimberlin "The SWATting must stop and those responsible for the SWATting must be held respo by the law'

— Joe Brooks (@joebrooks) June 16, 2012

Says those responsible for sympathizing with terrorist #BrettKimberlin and making SWATing calls must be brought to Justice. #ro12

— Ali A. Akbar (@ali) June 16, 2012

wow. she knows stuff the media doesn't. wonder what papers *they* read RT @ali: Palin brings up #BrettKimberlin … Boom. #ro12

— Prudence Paine (@PruPaine) June 16, 2012

After mocking the progressive campaign to silence Rush Limbaugh, Palin told the audience:

These are futile efforts, though, to get constitutional conservatives to sit down and shut up. And I know that some of you bloggers, oh, especially recently, are experiencing terrible harassment just because you dared report accurately about a convicted criminal who’s now funded by left-wing organizations. And you’re not alone, and the SWAT-ting must stop, and those responsible for the SWAT-ting must be held accountable by the law.

Twitchy founder/CEO Michelle Malkin also spoke about the dangerous tactics aimed at silencing bloggers who tell the truth about convicted terrorist Brett Kimberlin.

Democratic candidate for governor Charlie Crist got a boost from Bill Clinton Saturday night at the Florida Democratic Party’s Leadership Blue gala.

And there’s that finger Clinton likes to point while he lies to you. Maybe he gave Crist a few pointers.
