I want to shed some "lyte" on just how batsh*t crazy the right and Republican party has gotten lately. A couple of nights ago, "The Daily Show" did a great bit on the "tyranny" fest that Fox News is having. Apparently, being duly and legally elected by the majority of Americans makes President Obama a tyrant. So it begs the question, what did being appointed President by the Supreme Court make Bush, an emperor?
But I digress. Just when I think they can't get any nuttier, well, they do. Spencer Bachus, a Republican congressman from the great state of Alabama, has come up with a secret list of socialists that are serving in the House. Yes, I said a secret list of (gasp!) socialists. A whole 17 of them, plotting to redistribute our wealth, force universal healthcare down our throats, and encourage dogs and cats to mate. Okay, I made the last one up, but watch, tomorrow that will be all over the Internets.
Then you have White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs being asked if President Obama bowed to King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia. Now this question came from a CNN reporter, not a Fox reporter. This scares me. I used to think that CNN fell somewhere in between Fox and MSNBC on ideology. But I guess having the Democrats controlling both houses of Congress and White House requires our mainstream media to shake off their "liberal bias" and remind us all of who signs their paychecks.
And to up the stakes on batsh*t crazy; you have this whole tea party business. Maybe the folks at Fox need to watch a little more of the History Channel (I wouldn't dream of asking them to actually read history), so they would understand what "taxation without representation" really means. Oh, and is there a Dictionary Channel they can watch to find out what "fair and balanced" means?
People! President Obama hasn't been in office for more than 10 weeks. You have a long way to go. Outrage takes a lot of energy. This isn't a sprint, it is marathon. Pace yourself and your batsh*t crazy, or where will you be in 4 years? Oh yeah, where you are now. On the sidelines in your red straight jackets.
