Martha McSally Doesn't Belong In The Senate

This isn't about being unqualified.

If we only elected qualified people to the Senate, we'd have at least 53 openings right now.

This also isn't about her "say anything, no matter how untrue, to win" approach to campaigning. ALL Republicans follow that playbook, from King Donald the Last on down. 

No, the thing is McSally lost.

We had an election and she lost.

L.O.S.T.

That should count for something.

Even a Republican should understand that.

Even Governor Doug "Cup or Waffle Cone?" Ducey should understand that.

But since Ducey is apparently a wholly owned subsidiary of the Koch Brothers, and thinks only of making his masters happy, naturally he appoints a loser to the Senate.

One more vote to screw working class people and minorities and dismantle whatever remains of the safety net is always welcome in the big Republican tent.

Sure, it's probably only for a couple of years...I can't imagine that her screechy, constantly lying, phony patriot persona will get her re-elected, but we've seen how much damage the Republican clown show can do in only a couple of years.

No, Martha McSally is a loser. Let her get a gig at Fox News with all the other halfwit bottom feeders.

Arizonan Of The Year

And here I thought Texas's Louie Gohmert was hands down the biggest ass hat, ignorant, peckerwood, dipshit, ever elected anywhere.

Au contraire.

As reported in the Phoenix New Times, Arizona Republican State House Rep. David Stringer was recently captured on audio calling non-native English speaking students a “burden,” saying black people “don’t blend in” and lamenting a supposed “white flight” in more diverse areas of the country.

After a lecture (!?!) at Arizona State University, Stringer told a student that “diversity in our country is relatively new." When challenged on this by the student, who mentioned the Italians and Irish,  Stringer replied “They were all European...So after their second or third generation, everybody looks the same. Everybody talks the same. That’s not the case with African-Americans and other racial groups because they don’t melt in. They don’t blend in. They always look different.”

When asked whether that should matter, Stringer hemmed and hawed, saying “maybe it doesn’t” but that “it seems to matter to a lot of people.”

Uh huh. It matters to a lot of bigoted, ass hat, peckerwood, dipshits.

You know, like David Stringer and the people who support him.

Your move, Gohmert. Your title is being challenged. Time to step up the stupid.

A Few Words About George H.W. Bush

Someone once said that you shouldn't speak ill of the dead.

Uh huh.

But then I'd have very little to say about George H. W. Bush.

So here goes:

Willie Horton. (Ooh look! A scary black man! Be afraid! Be very afraid!)

Lee Atwater. (See above.)

Iran-Contra. (Bush famously claimed to be "out of the loop" about the Reagan White House's arms deals with Iran. Fortunately--for some--he was President and "back in the loop" when it was time to pardon everyone involved.)

April Glaspie. (Remember her? She's the one who essentially told Saddam Hussein that he could do whatever he wanted with Kuwait--we didn't care. But she did not do this on her own...)

Dan Quayle. (Having a halfwit a heartbeat away from the Presidency is never a good idea.)

C.I.A. (Once a C.I.A. boy, always a C.I.A. boy.)

Prescott Bush (His Daddy, who by some accounts was allegedly part of an attempted coup against FDR, and who was also a banker friendly to the Nazis.)

This was in no discernible way a "great" man. Was he better than his son, Simple W.? Sure.

Was he better than the oozing pustule now besmirching the White House? Of course he was. That bar is awfully low, though.

Rest in Peace, Poppy. (It's better than you deserve.)
