The ears have it: Things overheard at DNC 2012

We know that the Democratic National Convention doesn’t start until Monday, but hey — if the Washington Post can “fact-check” Mitt Romney’s acceptance speech hours before he gives it, then who are we to deny what these people have already #OverheardAtDNC2012?

‘LULZ!’ This is how absurdly ABC spun Obama’s Putin phone call [pic]

http://twitter.com/#!/coolhandschlute/status/439979968118800384

Oh, lapdogs! As Twitchy reported, the White House released a baffling photo of President Obama’s phone call with Vladimir Putin. ABC immediately spun like the wind. That ridiculous photo? Totally fear-inducing and tough and stuff.

Go home, ABC. You are drunk. On love for President Boyfriend.

How embarrassing.

But, wait! He has this:

Little Caesars Introduced A Bacon-Wrapped Pizza Crust And People Are Freaking Out Over It

Step aside, soft pretzel, there’s a new crust in town!

1. Earlier today, Little Caesars made an EPIC announcement:

2. A full three and a half feet of bacon will be used to wrap the pizza.

Little Caesars / Via usatoday.com

3. And there will be even more bacon sprinkled on top!

Little Caesars / Via usatoday.com

4. Here’s what else we know, as reported by USA Today:

â— The bacon-wrapped crust will only be available for a limited time, starting next Monday, Feb. 23.
â— It’s going to cost $12, which is quite a jump from the $5 hot-and-ready pizzas that made the chain famous.
â— A single slice of bacon-wrapped pizza will contain 23 grams of fat and 450 calories. For comparison, a slice of regular deep-dish pepperoni has 18 grams of fat and 390 calories.

5. Although it isn’t available for a few more days, people are justifiably freaking out on Twitter about the bacon-wrapped pizza.

Waah! OFA coordinator’s bigotry, lies exposed; He shamefully attacks Malkin

As Twitchy reported yesterday, Obama for America coordinator Samuel Cook III bravely ran away from his disgusting anti-Mormon bigotry by attempting to delete his tweet. Of course, Twitchy is forever! He also changed his Twitter bio to read “Republicans for Obama.” As Twitchy also reported, that was yet another lie also misleading. You see, Mr. Cook is was the co-chair of “Young Democrats of New Orleans” as recently as last week.

Truth is hard, for Mr. Cook. So, what is a coward to do once the disinfectant known as sunlight exposes him for all the world to see? Well, shamelessly and shamefully attack in a fit of panic, natch!

Why is @MichelleMalkin relevant again?

— Mr. Incredible (@samueljcookiii) August 27, 2012

I am nobody. Hear me roar.

— Michelle Malkin (@michellemalkin) August 27, 2012

That was a win right there. But, Mr. Cook, bless his heart, had to come back for more. And, for good measure, he added a little sexism, in response to some racism by a supporter, to the bigoted mix!

@thetrudz Oh, right! Instead of my Party actually crafting policy that's beneficial to minorities, we just trot out ol' shrill Michelle.

— Mr. Incredible (@samueljcookiii) August 27, 2012

Know your place, ladies! You can’t speak; that’s all shrill and stuff. Get back in the kitchen and make Mr. Cook a sammich.

Right, I'm a nobody. So stop tweeting me already. RT @txgdb: @SamuelCookIII Was @michellemalkin ever relevant to begin with?

— Michelle Malkin (@michellemalkin) August 27, 2012

Indeed. If she’s so irrelevant, why the obsessive whining, Mr. Cook?

@michellemalkin Michelle, you're terrified of a substantive policy debate, so you resort to this nonsense. Anytime, anywhere, any network.

— Mr. Incredible (@samueljcookiii) August 27, 2012

I'm challenging @michellemalkin to a debate on the issues Americans care about. Anytime, any network, anytime. Put up or shut up, Michelle.

— Mr. Incredible (@samueljcookiii) August 27, 2012

Ooh, big man! Look, toots: It is Team Obama who doesn’t want to debate real issues. They can’t; Obama’s record is beyond abysmal, which is why they are running scared.

Odd, @michellemalkin is silent when she's challenged to a debate about jobs, health care, retirement. Typical, cowardly 'conservative.'

— Mr. Incredible (@samueljcookiii) August 27, 2012

@michellemalkin Meet me for a debate, Michelle. I'll be waiting.

— Mr. Incredible (@samueljcookiii) August 27, 2012

Again, I'm challenging @michellemalkin to a debate on jobs, education and health care. She refuses to accept. Cowardly. #p2 #tlot #bcot

— Mr. Incredible (@samueljcookiii) August 27, 2012

Cowardly. You mean like bravely running away from your own words by frantically trying to erase them as if they didn’t exist? Here’s the thing, champ: You are a coward; you can’t even keep your self-proclaimed bios straight, in a rush to cravenly escape the consequences of your own actions.

@MichelleMalkin can't debate the issues with me, so she calls me a bigot and a liar. Debate me, Michelle. Anytime. Anywhere. #p2 #bcot #tlot

— Mr. Incredible (@samueljcookiii) August 27, 2012

@HCALJr @michellemalkin Michelle's a coward. She's afraid to debate the issues. Following Romney's footsteps. Get out of the gutter.

— Mr. Incredible (@samueljcookiii) August 27, 2012

The gutter. Like, you know, repugnant anti-Mormon bigotry? You, sir, have that covered.

@skspls @michellemalkin Let's test your theory. All Michelle has to do is coordinate our schedules and a time/place. Let's get it done.

— Mr. Incredible (@samueljcookiii) August 27, 2012

@MichelleMalkin I'm a Republican, and I'm glad to be endorsing Obama. Let's debate his record and Romney's on @FoxNews. #p2 #tlot #bcot

— Mr. Incredible (@samueljcookiii) August 27, 2012

You are were co-chair of “Young Democrats of New Orleans” last week. Are you so delusional that even your own reality is too hard for you? He continues obsessing and trying to divert and distract by attacking others. He must have learned that at OFA training school. That’s all they have, you see.

Why is @michellemalkin irrelevant? She has yet to accept my invitation to debate Obama's and Romney's records. Scared, Michelle? #p2 #tlot

— Mr. Incredible (@samueljcookiii) August 27, 2012

@MichelleMalkin and the Far Right have gotten desperate. I will not be cowed by the Far Rights of my Party. Period. Debate me.

— Mr. Incredible (@samueljcookiii) August 27, 2012

Americans care about jobs, health care, college tuition, retirement. @michellemalkin cares about her blog. Let's have a debate. #bcot #p2

— Mr. Incredible (@samueljcookiii) August 27, 2012

@MMLINY12 @michellemalkin Only one way to find out, right? Odd, Michelle's silent now.

— Mr. Incredible (@samueljcookiii) August 27, 2012

@HCALJr @michellemalkin Great. Then kindly ask her to accept my debate invitation, since she's a professional. I'm a lowly PhD student.

— Mr. Incredible (@samueljcookiii) August 27, 2012

Lowly is right. Oh, yeah, and you are supporting a loser. Of course, you probably can’t help it. You are likely drawn to lying liars like yourself.

Correction:

Cook resigned from the Young Democrats due to personal grievances on Aug. 19. He claims he has switched his party affiliation to the GOP. More here.

9-term incumbent Democrat loses primary in Massachusetts

Down goes Rep John Tierney in Massachusetts’ sixth congressional district:

Of note, national Democrats, including Nancy Pelosi and Liz Warren, couldn’t save Tierney:

Now let’s meet the Democrat who beat Rep. Tierney, Iraq war veteran Seth Moulton:

[. . .] Seth joined the Marine Corps in 2001. Although Seth was firmly against the Iraq War, Seth served his country and led his platoon — eventually serving four tours of duty in Iraq over five years. Seth led an infantry platoon during the 2003 invasion and was in the first Marine company to enter Baghdad. Later, he worked to establish an independent Iraqi media. The following year, Seth returned to Iraq as an infantry platoon commander and fought in the lead company in the Battle of Najaf. At the request of then-Lieutenant General David Petraeus, Seth remained in Iraq and joined a small team of Marines working closely with Iraqi security forces and served as a liaison to senior Iraqi leaders south of Baghdad.

This actually looks like good news for the Dems as Moulton is thought to be the stronger candidate against Republican Richard Tisei:

The GOP response so far? Not much:
