Oh my GOD. You have to read this to believe it.
I'm linking to Redstate's poutrageous rant on poor Governor Mark Sanford. Choice title:
To majority media and other Democrats : we police our own, and you don’t get to judge
Oh. My. Freaking. God.
Diarist E Pluribus Unum flies off the frigging HANDLE.
My first response: ORLY? Police your own?
[UPDATED] When I first spotted the diary there were no comments. I have now read the hysterical self-justifications and delusional nonsense, and I have this final statement to add:
Republicans, you chose to appoint yourselves as the moral standard-bearers of this nation. If you can't handle being judged by your own elevated standards, now is your opportunity to SHUT YOUR PIEHOLES.
There are some CHOICE quotes in here:
Be sure to cover the pain and suffering of Governor Sanford’s family. While you are at it, cover the depth to which all South Carolina and nation-wide Republicans and conservatives rightly feel betrayed.
So betrayed, E, that they can't even refer to him as a Republican anymore?
Beyond that, just shut up. Shut your lying, hypocritical, power-above-patriotism, hyper-partisan, two-faced, shamelessly double-standard bearing pie hole.
You don’t get to judge.
I'm so sorry, E. We most certainly DO get to judge. After the hyperventilating Republicans did over a White House blowjob, WE FUCKING GET TO JUDGE, MOTHERFUCKERS.
The Library of Congress could hardly contain chapter and verse of the multitudes of ways the press and the other Democrats have gotten away with judging Republicans by wholly different standards than that applied to Democrats.
Why don't you start a list, E? Actually document this assertion, you lazy hack?
You, to put it mildly, do not police your own.
I guess E is unfamiliar with such concepts as "the rule of law" and "nation of laws and not men." He's also not familiar with such concepts as "hoist on one's own petard," and "hypocrisy."
We do. We’ll deal with Sanford.
I'm sure South Carolina voters will deal with Sanford, you arrogant, presumptuous blowhard. They elected him. They can unelect him. And if he's broken the law, then the rule of law will deal with him. Who the fuck do you think YOU are?
We have standards (you don’t), and we have a long history of punishing and purging our leaders who prove unworthy of trust.
A long history of Tom Delay purging your Newt Gingrich leaders who Mark Foley embarrass your Bob Livingston party often Strom Thurmond while sternly moralizing Larry Craig against what they Ted Haggard are caught often with their Rush Limbaugh fingers literally in the cookie jar. Jesus Fucking Christ, if you people had any sense of shame I would not be able to run off even THAT short list.
For your part, serial adulterer Bill Clinton remains a rock star as far as you are concerned,
For your part, triple-divorcee 30-pill a day drug addict returning from a trip to the Dominican Republic detained by customs agents with a bottle of Viagra prescribed to someone else in his luggage Rush Limbaugh remains the figurative head of your FUCKING PARTY.
So, spare us your mock outrage, your tut-tutting, your finger-wagging, your eyebrows furrowed in anger.
Sure. I'll just LAUGH MY FUCKING ASS OFF AT THE HYPOCRISY AND FURTHER DECLINE OF THE FINGER-WAGGINGEST MOTHERFUCKERS OF ALL TIME.
If you are well and truly outraged by Mark Sanford’s adultery
It's his abandonment of his job that's more distressing, and the voters of South Carolina will have plenty to say, I'm sure you incredible douchebag.
, but could not trouble yourself to muster even a little mild disapproval against the cretin who wiped his feet with the honor of the office of President of the United States
You know, Bill Clinton never WALKED OFF THE JOB. Amazingly enough, he did in fact remain AT HIS DESK to receive his BJ.
I myself, Mr. E. quite vocally disapproved of Clinton, but the fact remained that during that entire period he was DOING HIS FUCKING JOB WHILE THE REPUBLICAN CONGRESS WAS NOT.
E finishes his whiny-ass-titty-baby diatribe with some seventy-two-point fontage on the final, whiny ass statement. You can almost see his lower lip pooched out, trembling, his face:
So just shut up.
Did the entire Republican Party get reduced to a bunch of high-strung toddlers? Holy shit that was a whiny-ass piece.
I thought these guys were all rough-and-tumble men? What the hell happened? It's almost like they had their spines ripped out by George W. Bush and Karl Rove.
