Crazy is NOT the new black

lady_gagas_crazy_fashion_being_awarded.jpgSigh, where to begin with all the K-razy this week.

Eric Cantor- nope you are not a victim, even if you do keep calling the whammmmbulance.

I had to giggle at this remix, but really it’s a sad commentary on the -big-ass air quotes “loyal opposition”, end big-ass air quotes.

Sarah Palin channeled her inner Leather Tuscadero aka Suzi Quatro at a McCain rally, wearing black leather and claiming that the bulls eye targets and gunfire rhetoric is just a “ginned up controversy invented by the lamestream media.” So, we can’t say the “R” word but she can use anti-ablism language? Idiot.

Your Tea Party Leaders, one in total denial, the other a big sad mess.

    Steele Declines To Sign DNC ‘Joint Civility Statement’

    “The Democratic National Committee says that Republican National Committee Chairman Michael Steele has declined to sign on to a joint statement written by DNC Chairman Tim Kaine that condemns threats made to members of Congress from both parties. The draft text of the statement says that while Steele and Kaine disagree on the health care bill, they would “together call on elected officials of both parties to set an example of the civility we want to see in our citizenry” and ask “all Americans to respect differences of opinion, to refrain from inappropriate forms of intimidation, to reject violence and vandalism, and to scale back rhetoric that might reasonably be misinterpreted by those prone to such behavior.”

    DNC spokesman Brad Woodhouse told reporters that Kaine sent the letter to Steele today and then phoned him asking the chairman to release a joint bipartisan statement “condemning the threats and acts of vandalism over the past week, calling for an end to such tactics and urging a more civil tone in our politics.” “This afternoon, Chairman Steele, through staff, declined Chairman Kaine’s offer,” Woodhouse said.”
