And the Forecast for Tonight is Dark
If you thought for one minute that things might have calmed down in the GOP, you would be wrong. There ain’t no Kumbaya in the Republican Congress.
Peter King of New York took on Rand Paul of Kentucky. And it wasn’t pretty.
Appearing on Fox News Channel on Sunday, Rep. Peter King (R-NY) defended the National Security Agency from attacks on its intelligence gathering practices. He specifically said the charges made against the NSA by Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) are “lies” and that he “doesn’t deserve to be a U.S. Senator.”
Nice to see you catching up there with the rest of us, Peter. Of course, Rand Paul could respond with “I’m rubber and you’re glue …” and I’d switch sides and agree with him.
Thanks to Brian for the heads up.
To my ears, this is heavenly choir song! Listen! I think I hear “Band of Angels coming after thee, comin’ to carry you (fill in the blank).”
1How on earth do you determine who’s the more loathsome: Peter King or Rand Paul? Makes my head hurt—but it’s always nice to see Repubs tearing down one another…..
2Strike up the music! Voters in Kentucky and New York, your Republicans are arguing as to who can be the craziest. Go BLUE and end your embarrassment(s).
3Rand Paul is easily more loathsome than Peter King. Now, Steve King is a different matter. That would be too close to call.
4Liar is such a strong word…and completely applicable to most Republicans. Peter King is one of the few who has, on occasion, spoken the truth. On the other hand, Rand Paul is an opportunist of the highest order and can be counted on to spew whatever he thinks will get him points with the baggers.
5On this particular subject, however, the NSA has a lot of ‘splainin’ to do.
So this kerfuffle between ghomerts highlights a question for the Spock-like logical political philosophers amongst us…
6Q. “My enemy’s enemy is my ______.”
Possible answers include
“Friend”,
“enemy”,
“ally, until I can quietly kill him”
Something else altogether different??
Huh. Still frothing about Abbott and payday loan scumminess.
7Micr: Frenemy?
8Last I heerd from mah congressweasel “cantaloupe Calves” king he was eating Santa’s reindeer in Norway with some Socialist friends. Otherwise he has maintained radio silence,as near as I can figure.
9This is only the latest anti-Tea Party diatribe from Peter King. He loathes what they have done to his Republican party and he sticks a knife in them every chance he gets. King is safe from their reprisals because the Tea Party has zero traction in his district. King is a grandstander in his own right, but on this one, I say good for him.
10I know, I know, because Liz Cheney! Dang it, I mean freedom. That’s it because FREEDOM!
So sorry, I would have gotten this right the first time if I watched Faux Noise.
11The dead squirrel on Rand Paul’s head did get the NSA stuff right. President Obama has continued and expanded Bush Lite’s warrantless search policies. I still support the President but if he doesn’t spend the next couple years reining in the runaway collection of data by the NSA, history will not view his contribution to America very kindly.
12But it is nice to start a Monday with The Lizard Queen admitting she got her butt kicked and Peter King going squirrel hunting on Aqua Buddha Boy.
Both Rand Paul and Peter King are planning on running for the 2016 GOP nomination. It would be fun watching these two people debate
13Oh, Kyle! Be still my heart!
