Another Republican Bottom-Feeder Speaks Up
Via Dave Weigel at Slate, news that the man responsible for the ‘Hoekstrokia’ is trying for a new personal depth record: Reactions are just exactly what you’d expect, per the Washington Post: ... “Really, really dumb,” Republican strategist Mike Murphy said over Twitter. “I mean really.” The Michigan chapter of Asian & Pacific Islander American [...]

Pete Lose It Now
Here’s Pete Hoekstra’s local ad promoting the key message of his Senate campaign: he’s an asshole. Pete’s going to learn the hard way that winning a D+4 state is different from winning a R+7 district. If you want to relive the rest of the national Super Bowl ads, you can find them here.

Being Kitty Genovese
Franziapundit shoves her camera in some random guy’s face, he pushes the camera away, Althouse shrieks for the police, some poor cop has his next two hours ruined, and now there will be 5,000 wingnut blog posts about how wingnuts are always victims. I wonder she’ll will be in a wheelchair this week ala Kenneth [...]

The Greatest Internet Comment Ever
Written upon learning that Althouse’s entire archives had not yet been restored by google. BTW, my hangover this morning was the equivalent of the black plague.

An Instant Classic
Everyone’s favorite “smart” Republican: Speaking on Morning Joe Thursday morning, Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI) compared the current situation in Wisconsin, where Gov. Scott Walker® has inspired days of protests by proposing a budget that would remove key bargaining powers for public employee unions, to the recent unrest in Egypt that toppled the 30-year authoritarian rule [...]

Open Thread: Clean & Articulate!
From commentor Inkadu: I swear this is not Merrinc’s cat. This is Chedda’ Bob, 6-month old rescue. *********** On a totally unrelated topic, since I come from people who believe a good grudge is a resource to be cherished, it pleases me to know that Assistant House Minority Leader James Clyburn (D-S.C.)... [Palin] is an [...]

If you are on twitter, I think I started a trend making up some Hoekstroikas. Follow #bloodlibel and #ahistoricalmorans for some giggles.

Analogy Fail
Via the Sully borg, this idiocy: “We should not bring Guantanamo terrorists to the heartland. It would make us a new mecca for terrorists, for Al Jazeera and other network attention and I think would lower the security of the entire United States,” – Senator Mark Kirk (R-IL), asked about the possibility of a detainee [...]

For God’s Sake, Not The Glasses
How could you people laugh at earnest rightwing civil servants like Sarah Palin and Michelle Bachmann? Just pause for a minute and think about the abuse dished out by cruel and terrible people. The former governor, who in the book says her dream was to be a sportscaster alongside Howard Cosell, takes aim at ABC [...]

A Morning Hoekstroika
Awesome: In an interview with the Washington Post yesterday, former Ron Paul economic adviser Peter Schiff, who is now running as a Republican for Connecticut’s U.S. Senate seat, feigned modesty when asked about his candidacy, saying that he wasn’t “heroic” for running for office. However, he then compared himself to the heroes who fought in [...]

Another Hoekstroika
Yeehaw: “On what basis does the Administration demand Zelaya’s reinstatement?” DeMint asked. “His removal from office was no more a coup than was Gerald Ford’s ascendance to the Oval Office, or our newest colleague Al Franken’s election to the Senate.” – Jim DeMint, (Wingnut, SC) Hoekstroika defined.

Rush Wins
First, a definition: Hoekstroika hohk⋅stroi⋅ka –noun Wingnut. A ridiculous statement that greatly minimizes the suffering of one group of people while wildly escalating the suffering of another group of people, when no such comparison exists. Usually for partisan political point scoring. Origin: a “twitter” from Rep. Peter Hoekstra comparing the violent repression of peaceful demonstrators [...]
