Not to sound like I support Randroid or anything, but seriously, Rubin is world-class partisan moron. I’m really not sure why she still has a job or why anyone would give a silent fart in a tornado what the fuck she says or thinks.

How did I know that we were talking Jennifer Rubin? It’s a mystery, though not as big of a mystery as to why WaPo keeps such an intellectually dishonest and serially unoriginal toady on their payroll.

OTOH, she’s going after another idiot here, so, she’s got some utility on the planet, at least for today.

Jeez, these people are vicious. They’ll tear apart one of their own for not clapping hard enough? What’s the right amount jubilance you’d like to see Ms. Rubin? Also, could we stop pretending not caring for one person that identifies with a group, means the exact same as hating everyone in that particular group?

Ah yes, because in 2015 one must slavishly suck up and defer to a foreign politician in order to prove your conservative credentials to other Americans. True patriotism and liberty and stuff.

Republicans must be so proud of what they’ve become.

Rand Paul’s hands are like hummingbirds’ wings? No wonder the Randroids love him so.

  @BahmanKalbasi complains journalist  who works for BBC among the most anti-Israel on the planet, suddenly invested in Rand Paul. Hmm

Is she accusing the entire BBC of being anti semitic? Yeah, I agree with others who don’t understand why the WaPo continues to keep her on payroll.

Pick up the tempo Poodlehead. Don’t you know you’re on Candid Camera?

Doesn’t he know Jennifer Rubin is WaPo’s arbiter of all things Rightwingnuttiness and the Miss Manners of Neocon war mongering etiquette? They’re all dopes.

Shame on Rand Paul for not being an enthusiastic warmonger!

Comic relief? Perhaps to satisfy that demographic that thought W was a jeenyus? (Lookin’ at you, Assrocket.) Maybe she has photos (you know, those type) of Ben Bradlee? Possibly Fred Hiatt is illiterate, and thus can’t read what she scribbles?

That’s about all I can think of at the moment.

So now we have the “applause police?” Do we wanted people in Congress who are thoughtful or do we want trained seals?

Paul’s staff complains he clapped plenty during speech.

Rand Paul is thoroughly browbeaten.

She’s no longer invited to Morning Joe, which is of late been getting weirder and weirder. I speculate that Mira cut Joe off with regard to their FWB arrangement. Either that or Joe is sundowning.

If you’re are a Koch Brother or Adelson, trained seals, most definitely. Monkeys and chimps are too independently minded.

Yes, and he, unlike his GOP associates, does not have an advanced case of the clap.

#Clapgate!

I’m not saying Rand has the clap, I’m just asking a question.

Hilariously calls to mind Atrios’ Tinkerbell Theory of Iraq: We don’t need no stinking plan, but clap louder, you commies, or Tinkerbell will die!
