Knowin’ how to pick ‘em continued

By: Friday May 10, 2013 1:30 am

Yesterday I posted about how former Senator, freak, and current Heritage Foundation President Jim DeMint managed to put out a factually laughable immigrant bashing report put together in large part by a bigot.

But the bigot, Jason Redwine, is so much, so very much more.

Knowin’ how to pick ‘em

By: Thursday May 9, 2013 1:30 am

James DeMint resigned from the Senate (as a representative of South Carolina) some months ago — so he could get a big pay raise to be the head of the conservative Heritage Foundation.

What better place to be rewarded with seven-figures at a think tank, when this is your big thought.

Truly bringing out the intellectual firepower

Over the years National Review has regularly rolled out really powerful arguments such as “We must defend the Southern Way of Life“; “White Men Only“; “I Dream of a Shirtless Mitt Romney“; “I’m too busy to understand what I say?”; “Why are the pages of my GOP Platform Sticking Together?” and, of course, “Beyond Thunderdome“.

But none may ever match the glory of Kathryn Lopez’s plan to eliminate the need for gay marriage.

Hard to believe that Tucker Carlson’s Vanity project is wrong again, huh?

A couple of months ago a videotape surfaced on the Daily Caller website in which a Dominican Republic woman claimed that New Jersey Senator Robert Menendez had been in her nation and subscribed for the Rush Limbaugh Sex Tourist Package.

Late Night: Take This Job and Shove It

By: Thursday January 10, 2013 8:00 pm

Perhaps out of a combination of peevishness and thirst, John Boehner recently blurted out, “I need this job like I need a hole in my head.”  Of course, the job he was complaining about, Speaker of the House, third in line for the Presidency, happens to be well-paid, prestigious, and quite evidently can be performed, after a fashion, even when drunk.  That is, it’s decidedly not like the jobs that the vast majority of Americans toil away at, should they be lucky enough to have a job at all. 

There’s also no off switch on “crazy”

Maybe, just maybe, Jim DeMint is not crazy — but rather just an opportunist who sees a chance of a seven-figure salary where he doesn’t have to suck up to rich douchebags anymore — because now he’ll be the rich douchebag being sucked up to.

“Project on” you crazy diamonds

Having overwhelmingly lost the vote of women, especially single women, in 2012, the “intellectuals” at FoxNews have devised a cunning plan. Make sure they lose them even worse by saying societies ills, such as they imagine them, can be laid at the feet of all the single ladies.

Editor Admits That Josh Treviño Just Hired To Fill Tasteless Fascist Void

By: Wednesday August 22, 2012 1:10 pm

Right wing writer Josh Treviño landed a contributor job at The Guardian, but when dozens of readers complained about his hackery, the management responded that they needed someone who understood the right wing mind. Really.

Come Saturday Morning: Bachmann Fan Sez John McCain = Henri Petain

By: Saturday July 21, 2012 6:45 am

On his website, Michele Bachmann defender and wingnut-welfare recipient in the Terrorism Grift section, Walid Shoebat, caps off a long and demented phillipic against the longtime Arizona senator thus: “John McCain is coming precariously close to a legacy similar to that of Henri-Philippe Petain, a French WWI hero who became a traitor in WWII when he conspired with the Nazis.”

Perfidious (to) Albion

A recent survey at the British National Military Museum named George Washington that nation’s greatest military foe (how he beat Gorgo or curry is a mystery to me).

But this survey may have been premature,
