Republicanland: A place where intellectual rigor, integrity, and a grip on reality are optional

Rep. Jeb Hensarling (R-TX), the incoming chairman of the House Financial Services Committee, could not explain during an interview on Wednesday why House Republicans are holding middle- and low-income tax cuts hostage to the cuts for the wealthiest Americans in the fiscal cliff showdown. When pressed by CNN’s Soledad O’Brien, Hensarling first cited complaints about spending, but when O’Brien asked why he couldn’t set spending levels aside and compromise on taxes first, he had nothing but unrelated talking points….

GOP Rep. Has No Answer For Why Republicans Won’t Vote For Middle-Class Tax Cuts: Because Hensarling, not exactly one of Congress’ intellectual luminaries, has NO idea. All he can reliably do is parrot party-approved talking points.

Inhofe and Monckton Bring the Theocratic, Creationist Texas Eagle Forum to the UN to Deny Climate Change: Wow. Just…wow. If these loons are Christians, I’m the Queen of England.

Congresswoman Foxx would like you to know this is a members-only elevator: Is it just me, or is Virginia Foxx a truly miserable excuse for a human being?

FOX & Friends ‘Outraged’ Over White House Invitation To MSNBC Hosts: Perhaps the Fox-bots should reel in their canned outrage long enough to realize that the candidate and the party the shilled for LOST. MSNBC isn’t exactly nonpartisan, but at least they believe in (and practice) fact-checking.

Jim DeMint Quits Senate to Run Right Wing Propaganda Outfit: DeMint will be responsible for misleading the American Sheeple on issues like global climate change, deficit reduction, gun control, and the separation of Church and State. Onward Christian Soldiers!!

11 Reasons You’re Glad Jim DeMint Is Leaving The Senate: Only 11? Surely you can do better than that.

Santorum: UN Disabilities Treaty Would’ve Had Bureaucrats Unseat Parents: The best lies are the ones that contain an element of truth. Santorum’s problem is that not only is he a lousy liar, he’s just stupid and shameless enough to be wholly unaware of how stupid and shameless he is.

Georgia Republican exiled to land of Big Bird: I know; I found it difficult to believe myself, but there evidently is a flavor of crazy that’s just too far beyond the pale for Republicans…even in Georgia.

Bush’s White House Press Secretary Tells Female Victims Of Violence: ‘Make Better Decisions’: Because in the Republican view of the world, nothings succeeds quite like blaming women for being raped. Next, Perino will confirm that men are just walking erections looking for a place to offload.

One Month After The Election, Republican Denial Continues And Democrats Revel In It: If you never acknowledge defeat, you never have to act like the vanquished.

Wolf Blitzer Stumps Top House Republican By Asking For Spending Cut Specifics: You’d think that a member of the Republican House leadership could recite at least a few specific cuts, but even she can’t do anything but regurgitate party-approved leadership. Now THAT’S leadership,eh?

McConnell filibusters own bill: If that isn’t the very definition of obstructionism, I don’t know what would be.
