Rapid Response

I love the way every time Martha Coakley attempts to correct the missteps in her campaign she ends up amplifying them.

Portrayed as a hack put up by the party machine who can't be bothered campaigning with real voters, she busses in Obama, Kerry and various minor Kennedys for a rally at a private school.

Revealed as a dimwit who can barely string a coherent sentence together on war and foreign policy, she fires back that she only took her position on Afghanistan because the idiot primary voters made her do it.

Hammered as the emblem of a lazy out-of-touch one-party state whose ruling establishment takes power for granted, she issues a press release complaining about Election Day irregularities dated the day before the election.

Democrats do what they have to do, but she better have a good case here because the difference between Massachusetts and Coleman/Franken in Minnesota is that this time round the Dems' tired old jiggery-pokery is part of the rap against them.

Me too. Sometimes, one just has to use the word dimwit. And moron. It is so applicable. Certainly in this case.

No problem, more of the same coming down the pike... LOL...


Yes, it was right here where we found the extra million votes for me.
An election official forgot that he left them there...

I love it when Charles Krauthammer uses the word “stupid.” He’s so well-spoken (unlike the Obamination) and concise, that when he uses the word “stupid” it reframes it in a wonderful, cutting new way.

She's like a dimwitted person, only not quite as human.


Frowning takes 68 muscles.
Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.
I'm lazy.

Hilarious.

Unfortunately, liberals, having utterly NO shame, are immune to embarrassment.
