Nevada Unloads Two Crack Pots -- Er, Crack Shots

Did you know there was a Republican primary in Nevada yesterday? Neither did we!  Well the results are in and we're Sad! to report that two of Nevada's most over- ripe distaff numbnuts have been unloaded by the voters (did you see what we did there?).  Here's Nevada political guru Jon Ralston's fare- thee- well to Michele "Freaky" Fiore and Sharron "Obtuse"Angle (no link):

As if to put an exclamation point on a night in which so many fringe types with no agendas and only nastiness lost, two women who scarred the Nevada political landscape are departing. Even though two national publications saw fit to profile her in the waning days, Assemblywoman Michele Fiore’s short, sad political career ended as she ran third in a southern congressional primary. She will never win another office in Nevada; a reality show seems a better bet. Or perhaps, a medical program showing how cancer is a fungus or a program teaching 5-year-olds to fire rifles. Also gone and soon forgotten: Sharron Angle, who tried to resurrect herself after her U.S. Senate embarrassment in 2010 but was destroyed by Heck. It wasn’t close, and Angle once again left behind a wonderful legacy as she sent out a piece that accidentally directed people to a pornography site. She also ran TV ads with bunnies and tried to compare Heck to Nancy Pelosi and Reid. That, as always, was the wrong angle.

"Freaky" Fiore, who thought cop- killing was justifiable, and "Obtuse" Angle, of "Second Amendment remedies" infamy:  two small-bore Republicans headed back into the sagebrush where they belong with the other desert rats.

Tea Baggers: We Get Good Welfare, Not Bad Welfare

Few tea bagger/ Rethug candidates better demonstrate the disconnect between their idiotic, Randian rhetoric ("get gummint off my back!") and the reality of their willingness to take government benefits that they're entitled to (but think others aren't) than Alaska's "GI Joe" Miller. Matt Taibbi has an amusing piece in Rolling Stone about the...um, hypocrisy of these would-be rugged individualists (Sharron "Obtuse" Angle is another teatard example) who happily take their government benefits (Good Welfare) while railing against the "parasites" who take their unemployment insurance and other forms of social safety net benefits (Bad Welfare). All of which leads to our observation that you don't need a GPS to locate a tea bagger/ Rethug; all you need to do is plot where stupidity, selfishness, and lack of self-awareness intersect.

Sharron Angle Meets Press, Disaster Ensues

Uber wingnut tea bagger Sharron "Obtuse" Angle, running for Harry Reid's Senate seat in Nevada, is fast becoming the Michele Bachmann of the current election cycle. It's easy to understand why Rethug pols have been trying to keep her under wraps as much as possible (even scrubbing her pre-primary web site to sanitize the crackpot views she holds). Herewith we present the latest three examples of why Obtuse + microphone = BOOM!

Obtuse on creating jobs in Nevada.

Obtuse's making lemonade out of lemons advice for rape victims.
