Plus the Republicans in Congress are fucking ass wipes.

The lesson wingnuttia has <i>still</i> not learned yet is that there is always some consequence for actions in politics. It may not be readily apparent immediately, but there was always going to be a price to be paid for indulging and encouraging the most outrageous and irresponsible voices on the right. It wasn't until last Election Day that it was clear how dear a price that was going to be.

And now they've gone back to pretending that it never happened. In their up-is-down little world, Bamz winning the election was an obvious acclamation that he needs to do everything they say.

Faux Outrage - all day, every day, all the time, every time, 24/7, 365, also, too.

I'm thinking they have Faux Outrage training camps to get them prepared. Else whyn't they all fall over and perish from exhaustion.
