Not sure why, but in my mind flashed a picture of the miniature Stonehenge scene from Spinal Tap.
Equally absurd.

Just because a story involves Republican hijinx does not make it news.

Oh, the humanity! To be asked to wear a leprechaun costume, and, worse, to have to enter a diner you don’t like! What unspeakable cruelty! SUE!!!

Ok, first the Furry article yesterday, now it’s a Republican being forced to dress as a Leprechaun…are we being trolled by TPM, or has a costume fetish by TPM staffers leaked into the news?
Though, to be fair, it’s pretty funny to hear dressing up as a Leprechaun described as a human rights violation…not sure how that one came about…

Hey, at least we’re not reading anything stupid like about the case in Britain in their Supreme Court about prorogation or the Saudi release of missile parts they say came from Iran or anything like that.

Just imagine how much better this complaint would be if it was read dramatically by David Sedaris.

I didn’t read the complaint, did he also make him say “magically delicious?”

Well, could be worse. The Senator could have asked him to dress up as Count Chocula or Cap’n Crunch.

First of all, I thought this was some kind of bizarre sexual request. Otherwise, who’d care?
Then when I read more I realized this guy is a whiny ass titty baby. He doesn’t have the stones to say ‘no’ when first asked? Screw him. Then he brings a human rights violation complaint? What a … wait, what’s the word I’m looking for?
Pink hearts? No…
Yellow moons? No…
Orange stars? No…
Green clovers? No…
Oh yeah! Whiny ass titty baby snowflake!
