Even, perhaps especially, House Republicans. You should really, really, read these tweets. They are comedy gold. Evidently being a smug, self-righteous prick with all the political skill of a constipated rhino in a china shop does not endear you to the colleagues you are so earnestly attempting to throw under the bus. Who knew?
Boehner vs. Cruz: Douchebagmageddon
Ted Cruz is well on his way towards cementing his title as not only the biggest douchebag currently serving in Congress, but the biggest douchebag to ever serve (though he still has stiff competition from Strom Thurmond and Jesse Helms). And now John Boehner (the most politically impotent douchebag in Congress) is calling him on his insane Kool-aid-besodden dream of shutting down the government in order to “defund” Obamacare.

And This Time He REALLY Means It!
Harry Reid shakes his fist in impotent rage. Sure, Harry, whatever; I’m SURE you’ve got the Republicans quaking in their boots this time…

David Brin on the Perils of Gerrymandering to Democracy
Noted scientist and science fiction author David Brin on the danger gerrymandering poses to the democratic health of the republic. A very good read, shared with me in response to this depressing article on Think Progress.

GREAT Night for the Tea Party
Allen West defeated, Richard Mourdock and Todd Akin doom GOP hopes at takings the Senate. Yessiree, great night.

Cong. Joe Walsh (R-IL): Deadbeat Dad, Chickenhawk, Douchebag
Tea Party Congressman and loathsome waste of oxygen Joe Walsh is now calling his opponent, decorated and disabled war hero Tammy Duckworth, not a “true hero.” Screw you, Congressman.

Great Moments in Democracy
Nothing like watching United States Senators from both parties fall all over themselves to lick the boots of bankster Jamie Dimon, with the slight exception of Merkley and Martinez. Why, just imagine if this was Iceland, where they actually prosecute bank frauds who trash the economy AND the politicians they bought and paid for? Imagine!
UPDATE: From the Great & Powerful Kos, a handy chart showing show of the best moments in brown-nosing organized by how much money Jamie Dimon, Superstar, bestowed upon each Senator telling him how much his ass smelled like a rose.

Great Moments in Stupidity
Remember the War in Iraq? Remember how it was supposed to be about WMD’s that later turned out to not exist? Well, turns out that for the last couple of years, the US has been spending a relatively small amount of money to keep track of WMD’s in the former Soviet Union, to prevent them from falling into the hands of terrorists, a very real threat given the shaky state of the Russian military since the fall of communism. Sound like a good use of money? Not to Cong. Trent Franks (R-Ariz.) who introduced an amendment last month to cut off this funding. Here’s a list of all the morons in the House who voted FOR the invasion of Iraq in October of 2002 to find pretend WMD’s but voted AGAINST a mechanism to keep REAL WMD’s out of the hands of terrorists. It will not surprise you to learn that many of these morons are from Texas.
