After being “indefinitely” suspended for all of 4 days, two of them being weekend days he doesn’t work anyway, MSNBC’s Keith Olberman sat his ass back down in his leftist cable pundit throne Tuesday night. Not until the end of his show did Olberman really address his suspecition because of violating a NBC News policy for not previously seeking permission before making private campaign donations.

This clip below is a chunk of his statement on his suspension and subsequent rebirth from a trashcan fire no one was really all that worried about, right after he told everyone he did nothing wrong and right before he played a whole Daily Show segment…

Awwwwww…Olberman gives a little TV hug to St. Louisan Dana Loesch for being cool to him despite the fact that they’re both so different! Even admitting that she was “probably nicer to (him) that (he) would have treated them”. Nice to see a truce happen, even for a moment, with Mrs. Loesch, our town’s little enemy collector. Maybe this will spark a moment of clarity: Are you guys really so different? Crazy is crazy no matter if its for Coco Puffs, holding on to George W jokes way past their expiration date or tax cuts for super rich people. Can’t you see you love each other?!

Olberman also dropped this lovely technique in we just had to point out:

“I like to name all of the 300,ooo signatories to that petition, but obviously I can’t, and anyway 99% were my relatives!”

LOL! ROFL! PMAL*! Really hilarious stuff. See if he makes this joke about how he had to have a petition filled with people that had to sign it, then he doesn’t look like a giant douche for saying 14 times that there was a petition of 300,000 signatures to get him back on the air.

Bad Self-Deprecation aka The Verbal Jingling of Keys. Well played sir.

* PMAL = Peed Myself A Little

Mr. Dana Loesch, aka Chris Loesch, a frequent, but pseudonymed, commenter on all posts concerning Dana on this very site, has quite a reputation around town of appearing like Beetlejuice when someone mentions his wife’s name three times. No, it doesn’t matter if they are “attacking” her or just reporting, he still appears.

The most recent sighting was the Riverfront Times where…well, I’ll let RFT reporter Chad Garrison tell you:

Chris is upset with a post I published yesterday drawing attention to a $2,500 check that Republican candidate Ed Martin’s campaign paid to his St. Louis production company, Shock City Studios.

According to Chris, I failed as a journalist for not contacting him before I published the story. (I’ll grant him that one. Unfortunately in my job as a blogger — writing 6-10 posts a day — I do not have the time to make phone calls for every single topic I cover.)

But that’s not the only problem Chris has with my post. Curiously, he’s also angry that I got the story right.

The post they are referring to and linked above is the recent story about a curious amount of money that Republican Ed Martin paid to Shock City Studios, which is owned by the Loesch’s (or more specifically, Beetlejuice…er…um Chris). The story goes that fellow Republican and candidate John Wayne Tucker has been recently at odds with Dana over not being invited on her right facing radio show while opponent Ed Martin has gotten her blessing to be on with no problem. The controversy comes in when it was found that, as we said, Martin’s campaign recently had a video produced by Shock City putting a dubious charge on Martin’s public campaign finance books.

Our thoughts? We believe Chris in that it was honest pay for work he did for the Martin campaign if only because everyone knows those books are open to the public, and though we at Punching Kitty have spared with the Loesch’s before, we don’t think they would do something like forcing political campaigns in to Shock City contracts in exchange for airtime. Plus, Shock City is a really nice place [Editor's Note: Yes we've been there, not not lately as you can imagine. Oh the costs of gossip blogging.] so its not like the Martin campaign is hiring out someone’s 14 year old nephew with a laptop to do his videos for 3 grand.

However, given the recent angst triangle between Martin, Tucker and Dana Loesch does that transaction look bad and warrent investigation and fair reporting? Yes, of course it does.

This is the very reason campaign finance books are open! Asking these questions are absolutely fair game and the response should be to answer them clearly and honestly without trying to duck things at all which, in the right or not, makes the accused look bad.

“It’s a complete non-story,” counters Chris Loesch. “Dana did not make one red cent off the work we did for Ed. Adam completely got it wrong, and I’d think you’d want to get it right as a journalist.”

Okay. But why was it that Ed Martin chose to use Chris Loesch’s studio over all the other production companies in St. Louis?

Still, one wonders: Don’t Chris and Dana — like most married couples — share bank accounts? So when one profits, so does the other, right?

“I’m not going to get into my personal life,” replies Chris.”It’s obvious from what you write that you don’t like Dana. And that’s fine. You keep writing what you do, because whenever you mention her name it’s good for us.”

“Us?” I ask. “I thought you were two separate entities. Why would it be good for you?”

“Because,” says Chris. “She’s my wife.”

Er, okay.

Oh Chris.  Not exactly the game plan we would have went with.

Oh and Chad? You may think Chris is gone, but if you and the RFT staff start spontaneously lip syncing to “Banana Boat”, he’s still there.

No. It’s not…but we agree with our tipsters that it totally looks like her though.

On the left is Axelle, who is one of the castmembers on VH1′s Tough Love Couples show, has a really dumb name, and has a striking resemblance to our own Dana Loesch, who is would certainly qualify as a “super-fan” of Punching Kitty.com.

After establishing that, yes, they are in fact two different people, we looked in to how they are alike: After watching the show, we know that both can be kinda angry at a moment’s notice and both have brown hair…um…we mean on the top of their heads, but we’re sure what you were thinking is true too.

St. Louis’ own conservative poster child Dana Loesch was on cable news the other night…take a guess which channel. If you guessed LOGO, you should really read the internet more often. The answer was of course Fox News and in particular, the Bill O’Reilly show where Dana was on to talk about recent Tea Party rally where allegedly racist remarks were yelled at our very own African-American State Congressman Emmanuel Cleaver.

Here is our summary:

Dana Loesch: Hi I’m Dana. I decided to dress punk princess to make sure I’m different than all the other TV people and in the presence of O’Reilly I’m way more cutesy than normal.  Also I think…

Bill O’Reilly: I like to interrupt everyone, even people that are on my side of the aisle, which even if you agree with me, makes my show very difficult to watch. No one understands but whatever, lets talk about the rally.

Dana:  I looked at a lot of video of the rally and its clear this was a leftist plot to make up the fact that no one actually said anything racist.  And another thing…

Bill: Well look, just because there’s no video of it, doesn’t mean its not true. We have no reason not to believe the Congressman.

Dana: He’s from my state. [Sarah Palin wink]

Bill: [Ignoring her.] We don’t know…

Dana: Well.

Bill: it was that was…

Dana: Yeah…but…

Bill: but clearly something was said, but it annoys me that this is news.

Dana: Totally. Don’t forget about this other thing that I think should have been important but no one agrees and I’m still trying…

Bill: I don’t care either actually.

Dana: I still can’t believe people would make this issue up!

Bill: How do you know its made up?

Dana: Because its wasn’t on video.

Bill: That’s dumb.

Dana: But this Congressman voted for health care so he must be a liar.

Bill: I’m sorry, that’s even too crazy for me.

Seriously, that’s how it went down. We swear, and watch for your self below (the jump).

I think no matter your politics, we can all agree that it’s really something when you’re farther right than Bill O’Reilly.

Sorry Dana (and fans) for a little ribbing, but we haven’t poked fun at Dana for a while.  We think she’s cool with it…

Hmm. Or not.

(more…)

President Obama will be making a trip to St. Louis next week to attend a fundraiser for fellow Democrat and Missouri Senator Claire McCaskill.   But we here at Punching Kitty are sure he will make time for a quick drive down Barack Obama Blvd to have a slice of Pi Pizza.

In a completely unrelated story, outspoken conservative mouth-piece and general easy-going #1 fan of Punching Kitty.com [Editor's Note: *cough*] Dana Loesch recently won a week-long all-expenses paid trip to “anywhere but here” by a little known company named Flowers By Irene.  A mysterious black van will be picking her up when she least expects it later this week.

What. Are. The. Odds?!  Have fun Dana, and enjoy your stay Mr. President!

[Editor's Note: Call me...let's do lunch Mr. President!]

According to  our tipster and the link they sent us to the DailyKos.com, thats what St. Louis’ favorite perma-fired up, republican, Dana Loesch pundit is trying to make happen with a recent mass email.  Why?  Apparently some black guy is going to break in to the school and try and talk to her kids.

Snippets from her e-mail:

President Obama’s Address to Students Across America September 8, 2009…

Word is traveling fast on the internet, between bloggers and twitter, the choice is clear : No school for kids on September 8th due to the beginning of Socialist Indoctrination of Americas children.

Take a day of vacation. Go to the zoo. Anything that would save your offspring from what I will bluntly say is just the quasi-fellating the executive branch.

I wouldn’t have such a problem with the Department of Education were this presented in a non-Orwellian fashion.  There is no consideration given to the authority of the American people. That’s what concerns me.

Once again, we don’t care about the politics because generally its not funny and thus doesn’t amuse us, but we don’t think its fair that little republican kids get an extra day home from school.  Granted, the liberal kids get to have a school day interrupted by an assembly, which no matter if the assembly is the President or one of those “Don’t Smoke” boy bands, its a pretty light day.  I guess thats kinda even.

Either way, I just think its funny that some people think their kids pay attention in school.
