Newt – Answer the Friggin Question
In typical teabag-rethuglican manner, Newt Gingrich, who is closing in on a win in tomorrow’s primary in South Carolina, attacked CNN newsman and debate anchor John King for asking a legitimate question about his ex-wife’s interview with ABC News.

Better Make Sure There’s a Lock on that Closet
It’s happened again to another RWNJ rethuglican politician.
Greg Davis, the mayor of Southaven, Mississippi, “who ran unsuccessfully for Congress in 2008 on a conservative, family-values platform” according to the Commercial Appeal, has been forced out of the closet over receipts uncovered in a criminal investigation over misused expenses. The receipts included “thousands of dollars worth [...]
Too Good to be True
Oh how I love it when anti-gay Rethuglicans get caught with their pants down. Well, he didn’t exactly get caught with his pants down, but he did squeeze the Charmin.

Teabag Congressman and Black Americans
Seems that Congressman Doug Lamborn (Teabag – CO) has a new pet name for President Obama. I wonder why he just didn’t use the N-word or call him boy.
From the Denver Post:
A short clip of the Colorado Springs Republican speaking about the debt ceiling debate during a talk radio program on Friday went viral.
“Even [...]
Death and Taxes (without the Death)
h/t to Joanne Cabry for this.
If you’re a conservative who hates taxes, please do the following.
1. Do not use Medicare.
2. Do not use Social Security
3. Do not become a member of the US military, who are paid with tax dollars.
4. Do not ask the National Guard to help you after a disaster.
5. [...]
A Walk Down Memory Lane
You really have to love video vaults.
Thanks to our friends at Think Progress, we have video from some of today’s teabag members of Congress urging that the debt ceiling be raised.
Under the leadership of House Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) and House Majority Whip Eric Cantor (R-VA), the Republicans continue to precipitate a stalemate over the [...]
Another Edition of IOKIYAR — Christine O’Donnell Saved by the GOP
So the rest of the story of how the FEC charges against O’Donnell got dropped finally comes out. And she is saved from having to account for her mismanagement of campaign funds by the Republican commissioners on the FEC.

Late Night Video — The Essential Tea Party Trait
And that would be racism — that they work very hard to convince themselves is more principled than that — fueled by the resentments targeted at the wrong person.

Naughty Boy Senator to Resign
Sen. John Ensign, who was caught screwing around with a campaign aide and then arranged for said aide’s husband to get some lobbying business, is reportedly going to resign.
So, how many upright, Christian, family-values Republicans does this make in the past 5 years that have been forced from office?
What the Government Shutdown Really Means
There has so much back and forth about what the shutdown of the Federal government really means, that I figured that as someone who stands to be furloughed, I would add in my two cents.
Besides the cancellation of the Cherry Blossom Parade, the shuttering of the Smithsonian, and the closing of parks and monuments, it [...]
Rep Keith Ellison Breaks Down in King’s Witchhunt Hearings
Rep. Keith Ellison is the only Muslim member of Congress. Today he spoke before Peter King’s hearings about radicalized Islam in America. This is the conclusion of his remarks, he tells a moving story of a Muslim-American being posthumously demonized.
I find it inconsistent that Muslims are oversensitive when leaders paint them and their religion with [...]

Republicans’ Big Day
The GOP’s first full session was yesterday – a
recap.
The Constitution Stunt
The new Republican House has already decided that it’s first stunt is to read the Constitution out loud. The Republicans want to convince us that they are the one, true party of the Constitution. I agree with Greg Sargent’s take – that we should use this as an opportunity to talk about the Constitution [...]

Well, THAT Didn’t Take Long
Seriously — I’m thinking that that the GOP is going to have a float in the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade called the Hypocrisy Brigade. NOW, what?, you are asking. Earmarks!

Monday’s Asshats of the Day
Numerous winners today, so I’ll get right to it.
First winner, that lard ass of a NJ governor Chris Christie, for demanding that the Delaware River and Bay Authority stop letting employees and retirees get free tolls if they use EZ Pass when crossing the Delaware Memorial Bridge. Only problem is, DRBA doesn’t have such [...]
More Republican Hypocrisy and Nonsense
A Democratic incumbent is taking his teabagging opponent out to the woodshed for slamming the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act while also benefiting from it.
Congressman Ed Perlmutter (D-CO 7), blasted his opponent, Ryan Frazier, for calling the stimulus program a failure while the charter school Frazier is vice president of took $100,000 in [...]
Someone at the NRCC Didn’t Do Their Job
It seems like everyday, we’re getting a new bunch of teabagging rethuglican Congressional candidates who are not what the NRCC thought they were.
Last week, we blogged about Richard Iott, who likes to re-enact being a member of the SS.
And now we have Blake Farenthold, who likes duckie pajamas and pole dancers. Well, maybe [...]
Wednesday’s Asshat of the Day
Today we go local and give our award to a republican State House candidate. Jim Van Houten is running against Valerie Longhurst in the 15th. He’s been trumpeted by Delusional David over at the wingnut blog as “a tough man for tough times.”
Van Houten is the conservative Republican Candidate for the [...]
