Another Rethuglican Attack on the Middle Class

Only weeks after nutty Kentucky Rethug Sen. Jim "Jim Beaned" Bunning single-handedly blocked an extension of unemployment benefits to millions of people, now it's Oklahoma Rethug Sen. Tom "Dr. No" Coburn who's standing in the way. As Jim Beaned found out, acts of nuttiness like this show the country once again that Rethugs really don't give a damn about middle class people who have lost their jobs, homes, or health care. All voted against the 2009 stimulus package, and most voted against the recent jobs bill. No one should be surprised any longer at where the Rethugs come out on issues affecting the broad middle class.

Senate Comedies

Daily Kos has a few items today on the rump that is the Rethug Party these days:

-- Outgoing Sen. George Voinovich (R-OH) has a few choice words for fellow Rethugs of the southern-fried variety, like "there are too many of them" (specifically, Jim "DeMented" DeMint and Tom "Got Some 'Splainin' To Do" Coburn).

-- Sen. Diaper Dave Vitter (Rethug-Bordello) foolishly used the word "luvfest" in an ad blasting Democrats. The Democrats then proceeded to spank Diaper Dave jes the way he like it.

Quote of the Day - Halfwit Edition

"You'll have a lot of 'esplainin' to do." -- No, not Ricky Ricardo (Desi Arnaz). It's Oklahoma's (other) crackpot Rethug Sen. Tom "Preacher" Coburn, to Latina Supreme Court nominee Sonia Sotomayor today. Remember also this cucaracha is Sen. Don Juan Ensign's "deacon."
