Damn splitters. Being on wingnut watch is real work, and here in my neck of the woods it’s a bit of a challenge to keep up with all the splinter fractions of tea baggers and their fellow travellers.

So, when he’s not too busy fellating GE’s Immelt in the hopes that the CEO of America’s pre-eminent tax-evading corporation will outsource more jobs or punish his workers for being union members, Sir Change-a-Lot is being bold, brave and visionary on other fronts.

Well, no. Actually, he didn’t admit quite that much, but William O’Brien is certainly proving beyond a doubt that he represents the pinnacle of the Republican Idiocracy that came to power in New Hampshire (aka “Vermont’s Grumpy Neighbor”) in November. His latest proclamations of “get off my lawn”-ism aimed at those pesky kids exercising their…
I guess all that flak about being a bunch of paedophile hypocrites is getting to them, huh? (h/t Holy Taco)
