Pathetic. Utterly pathetic.
Republicans have been so terribly devoid of any substantive and relevant ideas for so long that they are now lashing out through childish, boorish, destructive behavior. What happened to the educated, serious, respectable conservatives? There is a place for these voices in government. Where are they? Why have they allowed their party to devolve into a vomitous mass of lying, histrionic, paranoid mouthbreathers who wouldn't be able to distinguish a college classroom from a Steak N Shake? Lincoln would be horrified.
Even during the height of the war crime-laden administration of Bush fils, Democratic officials never shouted him down during a speech to Congress, and never sat there texting or tweeting on their Crackberries during a televised national speech. Bush's policies certainly deserved more condemnation than they got, but there was always a level of respect for the office. It says something that's quite damning about the character of the current officeholders in the Republican party that they can't seem to pull it together any better than this.
I will re-post a prayer written by "Another Steve", a commenter on Joe.My.God:
A prayer commissioned for Representative Wilson, from The Book of Daggers.

O Heavenly Substitute for Personal Responsibility, why did you send us a black man as President? Why must we be subjected to the proper conjugation of verbs by a Head of State? O Imaginary One, send us a tittie queen to lead us back to the random placement of words in sentences. Make her lips large and firm so that, as it was prophesized in days of old, "Thy homeschoolers will tug on their crotches and go to the polls, that thy minions shall once again reign throughout the land."

We ask this in the name of The Flying Drano Monster, who makes all things tax-exempt. Amen.
