Corker has this republican dickhead thing really down. He's got the look, the talk and that hand action is just the icing on the cake. Well done dickhead, well done.

Sen. Corker was an entrepreneur, which in this case apparently means snatching Hot Pockets from the hands of hungry orphans and kicking frail octogenarians in the shins.

That pic looks like a bald man with a very hairy man standing exactly behind him.

Not enough of us thought they were serious.

Coming soon - on-the-spot euthanasia for anyone caught without an AmEx card or a GOP lapel pin...
