Why God Invented C-SPAN

It's simply embarrassing. How's it feel to be from Texas these days, cowgirl? And did you see that 48% of Texican repugs want to secede? Lots of unpatriotic Texans want out of the union.
.
Dad Gum it, where will it all end, I asks ya?

KT
.
I got one MUCH better than this, and the great thing is it was posted by the guy who actually should be embarrassed.
.

Napolitano has said some pretty stupid things over the past few days. She irritated Canadians with her, um, ridiculous comments about 9/11 conspirators. Her comments that border crossing isn't illegal was risible. And this on top of the granting of work visas to illegals swept up in a raid.
.
But of course, Janet Napolitano's idiocy doesn't make Swampland.

sg, how did I know you would pick that one? I did, but really there has been so much stoopid of late that it is hard to pick.
.
I might have chosen Clinton schooling Pence yesterday. Not a neo-secessionist Texican, true, but just as stupid as they are.
.
btw, did you see my proposed Cognitive Dissonance bumper sticker the other day?

SG, you have your own embarassment in here. Your the twit that thinks that the assault on Justin Barker was kosher. Not surprising, of course, that your commentary is given thoughtful consideration in Swampland.
.
By the way, you got pwned on Austria.

"Your" should be "You're"

KT, did you hear that Barton thought he got the better of Chu, and twittered about it? From Benen: Shortly thereafter, Barton tweeted, "I seem to have baffled the Energy Sec with basic question - Where does oil come from?" Indeed, when Barton's office posted the clip to YouTube, they included a message at the start of the video: "Where does oil come from? Question leaves Energy Secretary puzzled."
.
This is what I meant by "misplaced arrogance." Barton seems awfully pleased with himself for having asked a foolish question and not understanding the answer. Chu paused before answering the question, not because the Nobel Prize winning scientist was "baffled" and "puzzled" by the Republican's inquiry, but because Chu quickly realized he was responding to a lawmaker with the sophistication of a junior high-school student.
.
This isn't something Barton should be proud of; it's something he should be embarrassed by. Barton's confusion is predictable. It's his smug pride, driven entirely by ignorance, that's annoying.

.
"the sophistication of a junior high-school student" sprt of defines the entire party now, doesn't it.

wvng
.
Yeah I did. I swear man these people are making it too easy. Its almost like they are doing dumb sh*t just to make us give them any attention. Of course there was another CSPAN diatribe that was just...well...crazy

And it goes great with the whole "Why God Created CSPAN" theme lol

Joe is on Hardball.

Josh has a couple of relevant deep thoughts up right now:
.
We need to get back to bedrock American values like torture and secession.
.
Does it make for a wobbly message to have the entire GOP program based around support for the government doing something which they simultaneously insist the government has never done?

Guys, you have Corrine Brown (functional illiterate would be a charitable description), Maxine Waters, Slow Joe Biden, Sheila Jackson Lee and Patty Murray, not exactly brain surgeon material (although Sheila Jackson Lee seems to be an aspiring rocket scientist, given her thoughts that Armstrong planted the American flag on Mars). I wouldn't be tossing around insults about an entire party. And at least our party leader doesn't think they speak Austrian in Austria.
.
And Chu did look pretty dumb explaining his flip flop on $8.00 per gallon gasoline . . . .

sgw: Its almost like they are doing dumb sh*t just to make us give them any attention.
.
I don't know. I am increasingly of the opinion that these folks were all weaned on Rush's teat, and it's all they know.

wvng
.
It really blows the mind that these fools even got elected. I mean who is proud of Congressman Burton or Congresswoman Bachmann?

wvng, I am not a Rush Limbaugh fan. I don't listen to him, unless it's a clip link in a bigger story. I have read some transcripts of his. "Dumb" is not an accurate descriptor of him. (I know you didn't say that he was dumb, but if his followers are, then you're probably saying that Rush's message isn't that erudite. If you're not, then fine.) Rush Limbaugh is a bright guy.
.
Conservative judicial observers can make the same mistake. Judge Stephen Reinhardt is an awful judge who gets reversed a lot. But it would be a huge huge mistake to say that he is dumb. He's not. He's a bright guy, and his stuff is very well thought out.

sg, given that you were dumb enough to try to defend Austrian in Austria, you don't really have any business calling anyone dumb. You're the moron.

sgw, clearly wingnuts are proud of them. I'm still astonished that Bachmann was re-elected despite that trainwreck of a campaign. About 20-25% of this country lives in wingnut la-la land (maybe losing a few as the torture story unpacks).
.
That's a lot of people.

SG, WVNG
.
It's not that all of the wingnuts are as dumb as a 5lb box of rocks. It's just that too many find their way to a microphone and get exposed. Then when the questions comes like they always do whenever stupidity is exposed, they force themselves to follow the 11th commandment, not to talk ill of a fellow Republican. So either they say nothing and just look stupid or they open their mouths and defend the bizarre, the absurd and the down right ridiculous and confirm their affliction.

" I mean who is proud of Congressman Burton or Congresswoman Bachmann?"
.
Don't kid yourself sg the republicans in Bachmann's district have the emotional development "of a junior high-school student".
"I bet this will make them mad! Burn on the Democrats!"

When can we expect to see Time magazine post the video of dingbat Napolitano declaring that the 9/11 terrorists entered the United States through Cananda?

-

Napolitano: “Nonetheless, to the extent that terrorists have come into our country or suspected or known terrorists have entered our country across a border, it's been across the Canadian border. There are real issues there.”

When asked if she was referring to the 9-11 terrorists, Napolitano added: “Not just those but others as well.”

-

When can we expect to see Time magazine post the video of dingbat Napolitano declaring that entering the United States illegally is not a crime?

-

Napolitano: "crossing the border is not a crime per se. It is civil."

-

This fool is running the Department of Homeland Security. Predictably, she's a huge darling of Time magazine ....

spob: He's a bright guy, and his stuff is very well thought out but he's an awful judge who gets reversed a lot.
.
"Bright guy." I don't think that phrase means what you think it does.

But, more seriously, too many on the right seem to live in an alternate reality that doesn't mesh well with the real thing. Thus he get's reversed a lot.

I have no doubt that many of the neoconservatives truly thought Iraq would be a cakewalk, and the historical evidence is that they excluded dissenting views from people who just might disagree with them. Many of the neoconservatives are "bright guys" as well. Also delusional and totally resistant to anything but the "reality" they choose to believe in.

PNNTO, who is proud of Al Sharpton, Corinne Brown, Sheila Jackson Lee, Dennis Kucinich, Cruz "N-word" Bustamante and the list goes on and on.

wvng, his stuff is unanimously reversed very very often. Thus, it's pretty hard to blame conservative ideologues.

Dee: It's not that all of the wingnuts are as dumb as a 5lb box of rocks.
.
True, they are as dumb as ....
.
Contest time?

Honestly many of the wingnuts say stuff nowadays that just make people laugh at them, not get mad. Hell they have even caricatured the word Socialism, something that I thought couldn't be done. Im not going to break Godwins law but here lately they have also been making a mockery out of another group of people who were some of the worst of the worst in history. How is that for a legacy? "We made Stalin funny"
