Middle schoolers on tv…

Well…I am still laughing about the “savior” of the republican party and his completely inane response to the SOTU last night…I will leave aside the crazy dive for the water bottle that also just cracked me up, and just focus on the substance, what little there was, of the address. First, just let me say “TELEPROMPTER”…it was obvious that this idiot Rubio was reading his address from a prompter…the cardinal sin that the right has shouted far and wide about Obama…but, even that is not the gist of my criticism. That I will leave to the supposed “substance” of the speech…I think Chris Matthews summed it up best that it was a ‘tinkertoy” speech best suited to a half wit middle schooler with the same self-conscious, smarmy nonsense that comes from a true believer on the right who thinks everyone should fall all over themselves to cheer since the “truths” in the speech are so self-evident. But, no matter what the right thinks…this speech was just a re-hash of the nonsense that ole Mitt was pushing that lost him the election…personal attacks on Obama followed up by faith based economic policies that were rejected by everyone…this is the new repub party? I can’t heap enough ridicule on this nonsense…where are the new ideas? They don’t have any….geez…

State of the Union hysteria…

Well…have been reading about the right’s responses that are coming to the State of the Union address and I am kind of laughing about the hysteria that is rampant in those responses…and there will be not one but two, count ‘em, two responses…one from the crazies that represent the “mainstream” repubs, and the second from the tea partiers that is sure to be full of “socialism, freedom, freedom, and freedom and guns” that should be fun to see. I am surprised at the level of hatred of this country and it’s institutions that we are seeing from these folks…the foaming at the mouth nonsense that Obama is taking our guns, has FEMA camps ready for gun owners, and is going to turn the whole country over to the UN. Then, we have the nut from Texas that has invited Ted Nugent to the SOTU…the same Terrible Ted who has threatened the presidents life on many occasions…I really do hope they talk to that batshit crazy, washed up has been…it will just highlight the sober adult that Obama is when compared to these idiots and the public will be even happier that they returned him to the White House instead of ole Mitt. The funniest thing that is going to happen tonight is that the repubs are rolling out Marco Rubio to do the right’s first response…and the advance copy of the speech shows that it is just more of ole Mitt and the ideas that were rejected in the election…the US just doesn’t want that crap but the repubs just don’t get it….geez….
