Rethug Drunk Blotter, Iowa Edition

The night after the first Presidential debate, diners at a West Des Moines restaurant were subjected to drunken wing nut Idelle Hunziker haranguing them about how President Obama was destroying the nation and Muslims were to blame. Police were called when she refused to leave the restaurant, and when they arrived the drunken lady woman creature declared that she was a Republican, so they weren't needed. Wonkette has this humorous take on an ugly display of drunken Rethuglican bigotry.

Oh, and she also informed the arresting officer on the way to jail that she was a "good mother," something that was hard to confirm since her daughter left the restaurant saying she was "embarrassed" during her mother's tirade.

Colbert Gold

Who but Steven Colbert can deliver the most devastating satires of right-wing bigots? This time, he focuses on wild-eyed Rethug crazy Rep. Steve "The Stare" King, who adopts the mantle of the persecuted white man at the drop of a white hood.

Catch the great poke in the gut at 3:15 into this segment, where Colbert refers to hate radio buffoon Rush Limpballs as "Chief Sweats Like a Hog." Pure gold.

"Some of (Nikki) Haley's critics, including at least one county GOP chairman and two pastors, questioned whether the candidate . . . is really a Christian, as she says she is. It's a touchy topic for South Carolina, where race, religion and negative campaign tactics have a long, uncomfortable history in politics. It's also touchy for Republicans, who are trying to get past their image among many Americans that theirs is the less tolerant party." -- The Kaplan Daily's Amy "Vegetable" Gardner.

"Their image?" Vegetable, honey, when bigotry is as blatant as that practiced by Limpballs, Boo Hoo, and every wingnut and Rethug / New Confederate Party official that has tried to de-legitimatize President Obama, it's gone way beyond a problem with their "image."
