Bitch McConnell is a funny guy. Of course, he doesn’t intend to be but inadvertent comedy is no less funny than a polished stand up routine. And I have to give him credit for having absolutely no shame. It takes a certain kind of balls to stand up on the floor of the senate, as the man who publicly proclaimed his number one legislative goal in 2008 to be the defeat of Obama in 2012, and accuse Obama of wanting the Super Red Herring Committee to fail – and for partisan reasons. Wow… that devious bastard! How dare he?!?! Never mind that if we simply let the Bush tax cuts expire and get the hell out of Afghanistan and Iraq there would be no deficit. But those things are near and dear to your heart, right, Bitch? So there really is no other option than to lop a few hundred billion from discretionary spending programs, barricade ourselves in our houses and hope the bad guys don’t find the gasoline, eh? But the whole idea of Obama hoping the Red Herring Committee fails gives you and the raggedy-ass pack of geniuses running against him a huge opportunity to come up with a solution all by your little selves so why don’t you just see this as the chance of a life time and trot out your best ideas and let your freak flag fly? Oh, that’s right – after cutting taxes for rich people and corporations you guys are out of ideas, huh? Well, if anything changes, let us know.
Twit Romney is equally funny and he did a routine in New Hampshire yesterday that was a classic.
Describing Obama’s lack of engagement in the dealings of the Super Red Herring Committee – a congressional committee specifically designed to work together as a bi-partisan, bi-cameral group of problem solving brainiacs sequestered and empowered to hammer together a solution to this vexing but pointless “problem” without any interference from the White House – Twit loudly proclaimed this to be “another failure of leadership” on his part. Harsh words from a man with no spine, who can’t decide where he stands on any significant issue other than that rich guys are cool. I think the last original idea Twit had was when he was on his Mormon mission in France and decided to stop telling the locals that drinking wine was sinful. You’d think a guy who lost the republican nomination in 2008 largely because McCain lied about his positions over and over again would be less inclined to sling bullshit nonsense around quite so liberally. But it is politics…
And I keep coming back to Paul Krugman’s quote about Newt Gingrich on Sunday; that he is a stupid man’s idea of what a smart person sounds like. If I was on the republican national committee I think I would rent one of those buildings on Times Square and put that up in big neon letters 5 stories high – assuming they actually want to win, that is. I’m not sure they do. There is a line of thinking that goes something like, “the economy is a complete mess, everyone says we need to cut to the bone, the world is going to suck until at least 2020 so why fuck up our reputations being president and being responsible for it. Better to lay back and throw things in the spokes for a few years so that when we finally do win we can be hailed as the triumphant conquering emperors we’re destined to be.”
Or something like that…Newt has a reputation for being a smart guy. This is a profoundly incorrect notion but kind of an urban legend that he has been doing his best to prove or disprove lately, depending on your point of view. But his hilariously wrongheaded idea that child labor laws are stupid and should be repealed, particularly in poor neighborhoods, (translation; black / brown), so that poor 13 years olds can go to work for rich smart guys, (like himself, left unsaid but clearly intimated), and learn first- hand what exploitation feels like by picking up dog shit in the local park. Sheesh, Newt; you’re such a preposterously stupid idiot.

But I am saving the best for last; the latest blast of unapologetic racism from Rush Blowhard in response to the knuckle-dragging inbred pea-brains at a NASCAR event lustily booing Michele Obama and Jill Biden and, tangentially, the military family chosen to be honored as a symbol of all of our troops in service. The fat drug addict defends the booing as coming from intelligent and sensitive types who resent her wanting people to eat healthy food and hate her husband because…well, because he’s black primarily. Clearly Rush resents the whole healthy food imperative – he’s a blob-like flatulent fat ass and big mouth publicity whore who might as well put on a KKK hood and wear it when he tries to sneak into his doctor’s office for more “diet” pills and other exotic pharmaceuticals. He called her uppity – he might as well call her a nigger and I am sure that’s how the idiot thinks of her and her husband. Normally I just laugh at him but this is kind of beyond the pale and if I was Rush I think I would stay out of certain parts of Miami or he may end up laying in a pool of his own vomit with David Carruso staring balefully down at him over the top of his ridiculous aviator sun glasses.
It must make the 21st century republicans proud to have these kinds of traitors as their public face – Bitch and Rush are an embarrassment to the body politic. Gingrich and Twit Romney are a couple of clowns but they aren’t toxically treasonous like these guys are. The two of them should thank their lucky stars they live in the country they routinely betray…
I thought one of the more insulting things Newtie said was that the protesters should take a bath and get a job. It neatly encapsulates the whole Republican mindset and harkens back all the way to Spiro Agnew. (E.D.)
