Stupid Republican idea of the day

We’ve seen birthers saying Rubio, Cruz and Jindal don’t meet the qualifications for President because their parents were not born in the US, now we’ve got WND taking on Santorum for the same reason.

Interesting style. He expresses skepticism for some of the totally batshit stuff, like Santorum not qualifying as a citizen. Then relies on that demonstration of sensible analysis to make the merely crazy stuff seem plausible.

I like the photo at the bottom of the interview of the TPM reporter who interviewed him. That smirk and sort of rolled eyes. Very apropos.

Also like how he weaseled in the question of “loyalty”, as if that were an established criteria so widely accepted everyone just sort of nods their heads, yep, that’s what it means, all right.

And furthermore

Of course, a reasonable man must accept that

Real good chance of that, since that’s exactly what it says. And then:

He goes too far. Marxist, socialist, atheist, bad enough. But Canada? Have you no sense of decency, sir, at long last? Have you left no sense of decency?

Fixed link.

ETA: Entertaining as this all is, I’d really prefer that they hold off eating their own until much closerr to the 2016 convention.

2010’s Style Death Rays!

The last line of the article explains why:

An NBC News Poll this month found that 22% of Republican-leaning voters who followed the debates said Fiorina performed the best among all the candidates. The next highest performer, according to the poll, was Donald Trump, with 18% of viewers saying that he did the “best job in the debate.”

You ignore them until they’re actually a threat, then you attack them.

Gov, Greg Abbott found himself on the attacked side of religious intolerance.

“Comments ran to over 900 as people of various faiths battled over whose religion was the most righteous, argued over Scripture, and even questioned the accuracy of the Bible and whether Jesus wrote it.”

Sounds like in Texas, Biblical scholarship is on a par with secular scholarship.

The Missouri state legislature apparently has a problem with their members sexually harrassing interns. The solution is obvious: Issue a dress code for the interns so they won’t be so irresistible.

Works for the Mooslims.

They’ll have the religious police canning the lascivious interns. Oh wait, the representatives are doing the canning already. Nevermind.

That deserves an entire topic all by itself.

To be fair, they’re correcting a mistake in a 1997 Missouri law that inadvertently required interns to wear French maid uniforms. And that was just the guys.

Anybody want to bet that these interns work for free, and will have to pay for the clothes themselves?

Got to love the prose there.

Would “natural born” preclude anyone delivered by Cesarean section?

No… But it does permit you to kill Macbeth.

Ask Macbeth.
