Just a quick rant since I'm at work, but this absolutely blew my mind when I saw it...I've only published one diary, I'm not a journalist or political expert, but I'm an avid reader of the site...I'm so mentally numb right now I could ALmost vote Republican...Per the Huffington Post
Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus had harsh words for Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) on Wednesday, accusing the senator of using taxpayer money for partisan purposes and therefore violating the Senate's ethics policy.
On Fox News, Priebus called Reid “so dirty and so unethical,” and he said Reid had violated Senate rules by posting political attacks of the billionaire Koch brothers on his official Senate website and Twitter account. The rules prohibit the "use of Senate Internet Services for personal, promotional, commercial, or partisan political/campaign purposes."
Follow me below the orange "Priebus Bullshit Web" for the rant if you like...
Pardonnez-moi Francais, but is he fuckin' kidding?!?!? Here is a sniveling, toadying, ass-kissing little weasel with the morals of a 60's used car salesman, and HE'S making value judgements on others behavior? Ummmmmm, the last time I checked, this nattering buffoon is at least the nominal head of what "used to be" a major political party, from his pinnacle he is responsible for the content of what his party stands for, and through discipline, responsible to control the content of what comes out of his party's candidates. To date, to the best of my recollection, there has been no slander, no misogyny, no distortion or outright lie, no threat of violence either explicit or implied, no act or statement of racism or sexism, either explicit or implied from ANY of his candidates or their keepers that was sooooooooo far off the chart, even for Republicans that it was a bridge too far, it just compelled that Reince Priebus put on his Big Boy Pants, stand up and say "This doesn't represent the Republican Party, it is NOT what we stand for, and it will NOT be tolerated." Caribou Barbie comes up with the catchy phrase "Don't retreat, reload!" and puts gunsights on Democratic districts and that's fine. Sharon Angle darkly threatens "Second Amendment remedies" from her followers if her batshit crazy ass isn't elected to the Senate? All's fair in love and war. But let Harry Reid drag the Kock brothers kicking and screaming out into the brightness of sunlight and expose them for the oligarchic puppet master owners of the Republican party that they ARE, and Harry Reid is "dirty and unethical"??? Words fail me. End of rant, I gotta go and check my blood pressure.
