ARIZONA (The Borowitz Report) – In a fledgling campaign that has already produced more than its share of gaffes, Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-Minn) today confused her ass with a hole in the ground during a campaign swing through Arizona.

Speaking to a group of supporters in Phoenix, Rep. Bachmann raised eyebrows when she said, “It’s great to be here in Arizona, the home of my ass.”

After her comment was greeted with confused murmurs from the crowd, Rep. Bachmann quickly added, “Oh wait, did I say my ass?  I meant the Grand Canyon.”

Keith Olbermann has been suspended without pay from MSNBC after it was learned he donated to three Democrats this election. Chris Hayes will fill in for him Friday night.

(Newser) – Ben Quayle’s Arizona congressional campaign hit a teeny tiny snag yesterday, when it was revealed that the 33-year-old had once been a contributing writer for Dirty Scottsdale, a raunchy sex site covering the club scene in his town. Quayle—who is indeed, if you were wondering, the son of Dan—initially denied the reports, but then admitted that he’d posted to the site “to try to drive some traffic.” Check out Quayle's prose, written under the name Brock Landers, here.

Sarah Palin Tackles The Immigration Debate: ‘We’re All Arizonans Now’ (Mediaite)

Is there anybody alive on the planet better at whipping up catchy political slogans than Sarah Palin? The woman is really unmatched in her ability to sum up national issues in one line or less. Today’s contribution to the political conversation comes, as per usual, via her Facebook page. It is about the Arizona Immigration law, and while she makes no direct mention of it I imagine she was re-inspired to weigh in on the controversy after a national poll revealed that almost 75% of the country supports the law.

Sarah Palin, BP oil leak take hits at President Obama's approval rating (New York Daily News)

There was Sarah Palin yammering on about immigration, one more thing in her limited world view that is all Barack Obama's fault.

Sitting next to her was the governor of Arizona, Jan Brewer. The picture of the two of them was more than somewhat frightening, like a political experiment gone horribly wrong.

Obama is moving up on 500 days in office now. Palin and the army of the right come at him harder than ever. Occasionally he leans back on the ropes and makes it easy, as he has with a response to the oil-rig disaster in the Gulf of Mexico that has been no response at all.

The President looks like one more finger-pointer on this, and less than stellar, having recently signed off on more offshore drilling himself.
