Oh, looks like just your lede has the typo. Anyway.

I love to think of Pierce’s great big guffaw at some of the outright crazy things she says…

I do like the idea of caring the remnant of that forward: ‘It’s Charlie, Pierce, actually.’

As in: if the msm were predominantly populated with the likes of Charlie Pierce, actually this country would be in way better shape.

Agreed. Sanctimonious morons like her truly deserve to be heartily laughed out of town…

Oh Iowa, are you really this dumb to elect her to the Senate of the United States of America?

Love the headline in The Guardian today: “Former pig castrator Joni Ernst poised to win Iowa Senate seat for Republicans”

Why is this woman even relevant? Her gun commentary is more whack than Todd Aiken.

“I don’t know that [Obama] does [care about Americans], he hasn’t demonstrated that,” Ernst said.

There’s something deeply wrong with this woman. She complains that Pierce’s facts are opinion but then offers her own opinion as fact. After the Des Moines Register endorsed her for the Republican nomination, calling her “smart and well-prepared,” she blew off a scheduled meeting with the Register’s editorial board, claiming the newspaper had treated her with unfair negativity. She has a pure-blood victim’s complex that colors her entire persona. And even more distressing is the fact that people choose to vote for her. Voluntarily. Without a gun to their head. It’s mind-boggling.

And as any Fox viewer knows… a ‘fact’ that is created by a conservative’s wishful thinking trumps a ‘fact’ that springs from objective science. After all… they have to be able to bend reality or their world just doesn’t make sense.

I’m from the state that inflicted Mitch McConnell on the nation, I moved to the state that gave it Jesse Helms, and I live in Virginia Foxx’s district. And even bearing that burden, I cannot but say: WTF, Iowa?

If she wants to discuss an apathetic President facing a public health crisis, perhaps she should address the fact that 21,000 Americans died before St. Ronnie of Raygun ever uttered the word “AIDS.”
