Quote of the Day - Rethuglican Candidates Edition

"It is simply amazing that in a country of 313 million people, many of them literate, the political opposition consists of ignoramuses, dimwits, contrarians, Christian jihadists and, now, two men so thoroughly hollow that a moral principle would make a rattling sound inside them. I am talking of course of Newt Gingrich and Mitt Romney." Frequent concern troll Richard Cohen in today's Kaplan Daily. Rethuglicans made a deal with the devil a long time ago. Now they're reaping the whirlwind.

Reviewing the Rethug Bidding

Let's do a quick review of the main Rethuglican candidates for president, November 29, 2011. We have:

-- an ego-bloated, admitted adulterer (Newtie);

-- an accused adulterer, sexual assaulter and harasser (Horndog Herb Cain);

-- a woman who thinks gays need to be re-programmed (Bachmann);

-- a dimwit yahoo who can't keep more than two thoughts (or numbers) in his empty head (Perry);

-- and an odd, robotic man whose name is rarely coupled with the word "principles" (Willard/ Mendacious Mitt Romney).

I'm so glad I'm not a Rethuglican.

The results were then put into this word cloud (the larger the word, the more frequent the mentions):


Our own response would have been and is: "Bwahahaha!"
