So a 67-year-old man with bipolar disorder shot his TV in the face with a shotgun because he disliked the performance of a contestant on a stupid reality show competition.

This is Big National News because the contestant in question was Bristol Palin, a young woman idolized alike by the Christian Right and Supermarket Tabloids because as a teenager she fucked a guy without using contraceptives. Also she has a preposterous mother who is famous because (1) she might run for elected office; (2) she quit elected office on the grounds that getting rich off twits was a more congenial gig; (3) she was a freighter anchor on another twit’s run for electoral office because she’s kind of a twit except in regards to making twits like her and give her money; and (4) when creepy old twits think about her running for electoral office, they masturbate.

Anyway, apparently, the shotgun to the TV face guy has Confirmed the Wisdom and Justice of the Conservative Worldview, apparently, for reasons that are completely obscure, unless of course, you’re a twit. Hello, Glenn Reynolds.

TAKING PALIN DERANGEMENT SYNDROME TO THE NEXT LEVEL….

But reader John Spaulding writes: “We’ve driven them nuts. Literally.” For some, no driving was necessary. They were close enough to walk already.

Oh that is a Funny Joke, the “driving/walking” thing (sound of thousands of wingnut thighs being slapped by Medicare-provided Mechanical Knee-Slappers.)

The “them” in Insty’s correspondent’s cretinous email message is likely intended to refer to “liberals” — this follows, if you’re using Online Conservative Logic, which is the sort of logic employed by twits who think quoting someone quasi-literate enough to not know what “literally” means makes you not look like an imbecile. (“Liberals are pecans! Filberts! I have always said as much!”)

But, the hell?

Us Liberals know perfectly well what happens when crazy old white men lose their shit and and start blasting away indiscriminately with shotguns. They get acclaimed by twits as foreign policy geniuses! At least, if they took the sensible precautions of first getting rich and powerful and elected to the vice-presidency. That goes without saying.

As for who really gives a shit about Dancing with the Stars, see Amanda. And as for who really gives a shit about the Palins and reality teevee in general, see, uh, me.

I mean, you don’t have to be a Moonbat to see that Reality Teevee is the Palin Clan’s Natural Habitat, far more than the tundra will ever be. You just have to not be a twit.
