Another Vitter pill: David Vitter calls Harry Reid an “idiot”

tweet vitter reid idiot

This from the genius who favors corporations over sexual assault victims; who wants to defund Planned Parenthood; who was subpoenaed by the D.C. Madam and who has a diaper fetish.

So much for Republican “family values” and “civility.”

Via First Read:

Louisiana Sen. David Vitter (R), upset with Harry Reid saying Hurricane Katrina was “nothing in comparison” to Hurricane Sandy and the devastation caused to the New York-New Jersey-Connecticut area, lashed out on the social network calling the Senate majority leader an “idiot.”

Yes, that’s exactly how to respond when you disagree with someone. Reason and logic? Pfft! Common decency? Fugetaboutit. What a fine, genteel individual David Vitter is. A real role model. Stay classy, Vit.

Pot. Kettle. Idiot.

VIDEO- Sarah Palin: “Nancy Pelosi is a dingbat.” Oh, yes she did!

 

Via Fox, where else?

“Dingbat” hypocrisy at :55.

How mature and ClusterFox-worthy, Sarah.

Could there be any better example of pot, kettle, dingbat? Ever? In the history of all existence ever?

Mitt Romney’s plethora of “twigs”

The Hill is reporting this Romney quote about how desperate he claims Team Obama is:

“His campaign these days is trying to find a twig to hold on to…”

See, here’s the thing, Willard. If you’re going to throw around accusations of desperation, then you can’t latch on to loons like Donald Trump as your campaign surrogate.

You can’t be so hard up to raise extra cash that you rely on “bloviating ignorami” for fundraising (as if your super PACS won’t rake in enough).

You can’t talk “twigs” when you’re out there scrambling for original ideas while copying the president’s.

You can’t pop out with “twig to hold on to” quips when you yourself are so desperate that you depend on “Noun, Verb, 9/11″ Rudy Giuliani to talk you up, but oops, he ends up talking himself up.

You can’t use lame “twig” metaphors after you’ve invalidated your own “job creator” and GOP Econ 101 talking points.

 Pot. Kettle…

Republicans’ Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Sexism Hypocrisy

Igor Volsky points out the blatant hypocrisy of the GOP when it comes to (along with everything else) sexism, specifically as it pertains to Rush Limbaugh’s verbal abuse of law student Sandra Fluke and women in general.

Ripping into their credibility, Igor (at Think Progress) provides a list of Republican hypocridiots who “in the past… demanded apologies for slights or perceived slights against conservative women in their own party.” Here are the bullet points, but please link over for the details:

  • In 2009, David Letterman came under fire for making a sex joke about Sarah Palin’s 14-year-old daughter.
  • During the 2008 presidential campaign, John McCain went after Barack Obama for his reference to “lipstick on a pig”, then wanted him to apologize for playing the “gender card” against, you betcha, Sarah Palin.

There’s more, right here.

Pot. Kettle. Sexists.

2004 VIDEO: Mitt Romney Calls John Kerry a Flip Flopper

(@AKaczynski1)

Ma. Governor Mitt Romney says Ma. Senator John Kerry has been on both sides of many issues in a 2004 campaign fundraiser speech for President Bush.

Andrew Kaczynski went on to inform me, via email, that the speech in the video was given on March 24, 2004 in Boston.

It’s hard to see how this won’t end up in a future campaign ad.

VIDEO: “Black Walnut” Herman Cain calls Michele Bachmann “Tutti Frutti”

Newsflash! Nut calls kettle Frutti:

VIDEO- Paul Ryan: “Class warfare may be good politics, but it’s rotten economic policy.”

Think Progress tweet (obviously):

Via Daily Beast.

This from the guy who mocked a distraught senior citizen defending Medicare and Social Security as he got tackled by security at a town hall event; who wanted to charge $15 per question; who refused to answer a question at yet another public event; and who wants to kill Medicare. If these aren’t examples of class warfare, then nothing is.

As John Fugelsang tweeted (sorry, no link):

“Class Warfare is when billionaires have FOX News tell you how any policy which doesn’t help billionaires is Class Warfare.”

Paul Ryan: Hypocridiot-O’-The-Day.
