Tennessee Taliban Foiled
Tennessee wingnut Rethuglicans are a little out of practice in running the Tennessee General Assembly, which they took control of narrowly for the first time in over 40 years. Wonkette has the hilarious story about how the wingnuts were defeated in electing a Speaker of their choice, despite holding a 50 to 49 majority. The strategy by the Dems was to unanimously back a moderate Rethug -- despised by the party's Taliban wing -- who then voted for himself for the majority vote. The wingut Rethugs were left speechless and sputtering. "Hot dayum, Ernest! We wuz tricked! Where's mah squirrel gun?"
Our reaction? BWWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
