You Can’t Make This UP!

Not all of the Republican clowns are running for President. Karl Rove, AKA Turd Blossom, has collected millions of dollars from Wall Street to help Scott Brown defeat Elizabeth Warren in the Senate Race in Massachusetts. Rove is using some of that money to run advertisements accusing Ms. Warren of being a tool of Wall Street. Yes, the accused is that Elizabeth Warren, the feisty advocate for the middle class, the Elizabeth Warren who was so instrumental in establishing the Consumer Protection Bureau, the same Elizabeth Warren who is stridently calling for the reform of Wall Street. Someone should tell Turd Blossom that it is one thing to try to sell the stubborn, independent, Yankees of Massachusetts a bag of bullshit and quite another thing to throw great, steaming heaps of bullshit at those voters. The good people of Massachusetts have a history of reacting very strongly to someone who is insulting their intelligence in such a blatant manner. If I were Scott Brown I would disavow those advertisements and back as far away from them as possible.

Meanwhile, in the Presidential primary ring, the clown show continued. Mitt Romney showed just how out of touch he is during the last debate by challenging Rick Perry to a ten thousand dollar bet. The average family of this nation has an annual income of about sixty thousand dollars. This bet says it all. It explains why Mr. Romney would think that the thousand dollars the average family would save next year by the passage of the payroll tax cut is a mere drop in the bucket. During this same debate Newt Gingrich demonstrated what a shameless demagogue he is by calling the Palestinians a made up people. One would think that a supposed historian would know just how incendiary such a statement is! Such statements might earn Gingrich the dumb ass votes, but it is highly detrimental to our diplomatic efforts at a time when diplomatic success is so vital to our national interests.
