Obligatory Family Guy reference:
After months to prepare for their big scene, Republicans were used as a wet rag by Hillary Clinton in the Senate hearings on Benghazi this morning. Clinton, with nothing to lose, rubbed their noses in the dirt and stole their lunch money. After seeing their colleagues get abused, Senators quit asking questions and just started making speeches instead. Senators McCain and Rand Paul were the worst offenders. Sen. Paul showed off his mastery of Foreign Affairs by criticizing the State Department for sending a comedy group to India. The name of the show? Make chai, not war. Only Mr. Paul pronounced it “Make chee…”
This afternoon (2PM Eastern) comes the second string from the House, featuring such luminaries as Dana Rohrbacher, Joe “You lie!” Wilson, and Steve Stockman of Texas. This should be fun.

Meanwhile, back in Real America™, GOP congressman James Lankford has pledged to use “the power of humiliation” to stop substance abuse clinics from helping LBGT people with their problems.
BUDDA Budda BUDDA Budda… BUDDA Budda BUDDA Budda… BANG BANG!!
Holy crap – Liberace in full regalia didn’t ping the gaydar like that guy…
Is it just me, or does Rep. Lankford looks a look like he might have his own substance abuse issues? :eek:
Well, he can try, but what he’s suggesting is that exposing to public scrutiny the existence of attempts to help the LGBT community would shame the agencies involved. But if the agencies aren’t ashamed of it, then there really is no “power of humiliation.”
Heh. Above the article titled “Republican House Leader Vows To Use ‘Power Of Humiliation’ To Undermine LGBT Program” we get links to stories titled “Conservative Claim: Gays ‘Are Already Treated Equally’” and “Conservative Claim: LGBT Students Don’t Need Bullying Protection”. I realize that they’re not all the same conservative but still.
And *that *conservative, man. Talk about pinging the gaydar.
Good grief, the War on Christmas starts earlier every year!
I saw what you did there.
Now I’m picturing Bo with a single antler strapped to his head.
Not sure. Does rising at night to feed on the blood of the living qualify as “substance abuse”?
Paul Wolfowitz, one of the main leaders of the charge for the Iraq war, is asking why Hillary Clinton didn’t plan better for the Benghazi attack.
Dr. Wolfowitz, the one question you should never ask of anyone else is why they didn’t plan better.
I’ve done a bit of searching on that term “Derplahomans”. Obviously combines derp and Okalahoma.
The Urban dictionary was helpful:
So the meaning, while not very precise, is at least understood. But what is the origin of the term? I was looking for a funny story or at least an explanation from the host at LostOgle.
It’s often paired with herp.
It’s possible to overthink these things, ya know. Just sayin’.
The fact that some Oklahomans are able to say “hey…we’re not *all *batshit crazy” gives me some hope for the future of our Republic.
Guy can’t even pull off the most mundane planning tasks. Like putting on the socks without the holes before visiting a mosque.
Another member of the Derp Caucus heard from:
[QUOTE=Paul Broun (R-GA)]
The Constitution I uphold and defend is the one I carry in my pocket all the time, the U.S. Constitution. I don’t know what Constitution that other members of Congress uphold, but it’s not this one. I think the only Constitution that Barack Obama upholds is the Soviet constitution, not this one. He has no concept of this one, though he claimed to be a constitutional lawyer.
