1. Sean Hannity: My father beat the crap out of me and look how great I turned out.

Sean Hannity vociferously defended pro-football player Adrian Peterson, who is facing indefinite suspension and criminal charges for beating his four-year-old with a tree branch, this week. While Hannity allowed that Peterson may have gone too far, as did Hannity’s dad, apparently, the Fox host feels that neither deserves to be charged as criminals. Hannity regaled his guests with tales of his beatings, with sound effects, re-enactments and everything. "I got hit with a strap—bam bam bam—and I’ve never been to a shrink. I deserved it.”

2. John Boehner: The unemployed are just sitting around, not wanting to work.

The House Speaker expressed his deeply thought out views about the unemployed this week during a speech to the American Enterprise Institute. They’re lazy bums, he said, in a nutshell. And yeah, it’s Obama’s fault. Boehner's words:

“This idea that has been born, maybe out of the economy over the last couple years, that you know, I really don’t have to work. I don’t really want to do this. I think I’d rather just sit around.”


3. Rush Limbaugh: No means yes if you know how to spot it.

Rush Limbaugh’s escalating hatred for women is oozing out of every cell, every pore and every orifice these days. On a near daily basis, he spews hatred of women for ruining football by walking into men’s fists, for demanding that there be consequences for domestic violence, for just “chickifying” and ruining everything.


4. Sarah Palin’s take on daughter Bristol repeatedly punching the host of a party: Bristol is a role model for strong women.

Sarah Palin has been trying to avoid the whole subject of her classy brood’s involvement in a good ol' fashioned backyard brawl recently, but she did post something on Facebook this week about how proud she is of her daughter Bristol. Witnesses have said that dear, sweet Bristol was a very active puncher in the melee, landing multiple blows on the head of the owner of the house, and of course, the host. You betcha the Palins will be invited back to that house again.
