“Uhm … excuse me … Sen. Toomey? Not to take a position here, but Mumia Abu-Jamal’s death sentence was not overturned. A federal judge ordered a new sentencing hearing in the case and the Philadelphia District Attorney’s office opted not to pursue the matter.”

Babe, famous talking pig

Overheard in the Senate:

“Sen. Toomey, sir? Did you know you look mildly mentally retarded?”

Overheard on Fox:

Stuart Varney

“Global 'warming'? That’s bullshit on a stick. What we really have is Global 'cooling'. Look at what just happened in Antarctica! A whole research ship got stuck, in the ice for 10 days and the people on board had to be rescued  by helicopter!”

Stuart Varney, Fox Business host

“Uhm, Mr. Varney sir? Might I have a word?”

“Mr. Varney sir, well, it seems the Nature Geoscience Journal in 2013 identified central West Antarctica as one of the fastest-warming regions on Earth, with consistent temperature increases between 1958 and 2010. We’ve also seen ice shelves melting and breaking off in the last 15 years. It’s pretty clear, Antartica is getting warmer, not colder.”

“Sez you, pig. What the hell do you know about warming.”

Stuart Varney

Babe

“Apparently, a whole helluva lot more than you. How do you account for the increases in temperatures,  Mr. Varney sir, if global warming isn’t a real phenomenon.”

Babe

Stuart Varney

“I’ll tell you how I account for it: farting pigs. Way too much methane.”

Stuart Varney

“Oh sure. Blame the pigs. Not all pigs fart, buster. But all Fox hosts absolutely do!”

Overheard in an Email:

Liz 'Not Lez' Cheney

“The Washington establishment is working against me! They won’t give a poor girl a break! They are fighting hard to keep those blasted overspending incumbents in office.”

Babe

“Umm… excuse me, Ms. Cheney? Could I ask a question please, ma'am?”

“Of course you can. I love pork. Particularly rolled in grape jelly and then coated with Frito's Corn Chips before being roasted.”

Babe

“Uhm… can you tell me where your most successful fundraising event has been held so far?”

Babe

Liz 'Not Lez' Cheney

“Why … it was in Washington. What’s the point, pig?””

Liz Cheney

Babe

“And who attended that event? Did you fly people in from Wyoming, Ms. Cheney?”

Babe

- - -

Liz 'Not Lez' Cheney

“Why … no. It was actually attended by … a group of very rich members of the Washington … population.”

Liz Cheney

Babe

“Don’t you mean the Washington Establishment? The same people you say are protecting the incumbents? And yet they are donating to you, and here you are, definitely a member of that same group, holding fundraisers outside of Wyoming, trying to raise some big bucks. Don’t you find that a little bit hypocritical?”
