i like to think of them as the boil on america's ass, but this works too.

As soon as one of the teabaggers demonstrates even a <i>fourth</i> of the intelligence and sophistication of a Franklin, Jefferson or Madison, we can start taking them seriously, no matter what their fashion/cosplay preferences. But as long as they're just Dick Armey's stalking horses, the scorn will keep coming.

“We’ve worked so hard these past few years and it’s paying off! We’re witnessing the unraveling of a presidency at an unprecedented rate.”

I know they just keep saying this over and over again, but what the fuck are they talking about?

Type SCANDAL in all-caps three times with your breeches on, and it becomes a real scandal!!!1

This is the 23% who still think Dumbya was a good President, so the Palin thing just follows logically.

Gosh, if the press repeats "he's beset by scandal" enough times, the story can really start to get legs!

Who doesn't love a good narrative, like "Al Gore: Congenital liar" and "President Bush: Kept Us Safe" and "Argle Bargle: Something Angry Words Something"? Nobody, that's who!

The article claims that there were attacks in Libya, why has Fox news not publicized that? Can we get the scope of the Benghazi hearing widened to include Libya?

The Tea Party is like a hornet’s nest (only stupider) you should not poke it with a stick.

And yet Obama's approval numbers just went UP! It's like not everyone in this country shares this group's wild conspiracy theories and boneheaded "policy positions"!

I'm trying to figure out how one legit scandal, one case of bureacrats catching their own underlings overreaching on audits, and one case of argle blargle derpa derp conspiracy theory constitute an unravelling presidency at an " unprecedented" rate...unless they mean unprecendentedly slow, which doesn't really hold up either.

For a movement that prides intself on having the mentality of people who were alive over 200 years ago, they sure seem unaware of anything that happened before 2009.

Past performance is no guarantee of future outcomes, but if there were a way to short the Tea Party, it'd be a tempting investment.

Rinsed Prius should turn his attention to the Party's lieutenant goobernor candidate in Virginia. Dude's a live grenade of <a href="http:\/\/www.buzzfeed.com\/andrewkaczynski\/the-9-most-anti-gay-statements-from-the-republican-nominee-f" target="_blank">crazee </a>lobbed into the Republican tactical operations center.
