En route to reading elsewhere I stumble across 2 little gems that further tell me that the Rightwing Nuttiverse is imploding and just becoming far sillier than anything we could sit around and make up.
Republicans have developed all manner of boundary issues, something that makes them look ....nutty.
First, George Will is perplexed by Men hugging. He acts like he's never seen this before.
He is just so odd. It's like he has smoked the crack equivalent of republican homophobia.
Here's a video at the link showing Will reacting to Tom Coburn - 'The most conservative member of the House Republicans" - hugging Obama.
It's actually quite a hug and alone is worth the click, but George Will's utterly befuddled look is great.
WTF is wrong with him?
He looks like an angry toy.
And nextly, Rush Limbaugh, one of the World's Great Douchebags, has recently learned that women hate him.
So, like a completely out-of-touch doofus, he is 'convening a summit' to determine why:
We’ll have a summit of all the women in this audience — or as many of them as we can get into breakout groups — and perhaps devote an hour in an upcoming program to calls only from women who genuinely want to talk to me. They can be liberal, conservative. They could be non-audience members, could be audience members. But I want some of these women to start telling me what it is I must do to close the gender gap — or, if not what it is I must do to close the gender gap, what it is I’ve done that has caused the gender gap; assuming the gender gap is true and that the poll is true. [...]
I own the men, and what must I do now to own women? And who better to ask than women? Including some of those who may agree that that I’m unfavorable. So stand by for that.
Ah yes...owning women.
Every man outghtta have 3 or 4, don'tcha think, Rush?
WTF is wrong with him?
The same thing that is setting in with all the hardcore conservatives: their whole world has been rocked.
Shaken to the core.
It has come to an end.
Everything they thought they had no longer works, or is - gasp - BLAMED for the problems we suffer now.
The SOTU beat them senseless - they didn't know whether to shit or go blind. That was priceless.
I am saying the Wingnut Olympics have really only begun.
Wait until the Obama Plan begins to actually huh...huh...huh...help people.
A regular circus of exploding heads is coming.
Bring.
It.
On!
