So Republicans think Joe Arpaio should be allowed to stop me and demand my papers, as long as he doesn’t look at my phone records?

– @TheDailyEdge, on Twitter

And if I were Republicans, I would say to Issa, in the parlance of his old business, “Please step away from that car.”

– David Axelrod, Democratic strategist, asserting that Republicans are approaching overreach concerning the IRS. Axelrod was alluding to Rep. Darrell Issa (R-Calif.), who, prior to being in Congress, was charged with grand theft auto, investigated for arson, arrested on weapons charges, and convicted of carrying an unregistered and concealed firearm.

You’ve probably heard about it but you have to see it to believe it. Watch for yourself the spectacle of Republicans coming to the realization that they live in a new world — if you consider all the years of most of our lifetimes “new.”

I hope NY and NJ senators tell Tom Coburn and Jim Inhofe to suck a donkey dick on disaster relief.

@rudepundit on Twitter, no doubt recalling that most Republicans, even those from the tornado-prone Midwest and prairie states, voted against providing disaster relief to the areas worst affected by super storm Sandy.

That was quick. Saddleback Church pastor Rick Warren wasted no time in forgiving the person who sold online an unregistered handgun with the serial number filed off to his son, who used it to kill himself. On the Thursday following 27-year-old Matthew Warren’s death on Friday, his father tweeted: Someone on the internet sold Matthew [...]

PR’s own Buck nominated Florida Sen. Marco Rubio (GOP/Tea) for the “Really Trying Way Too Hard” Hall of Fame after Rubio told the gossip site TMZ that his favorite songs of all-time are NWA’s “Straight Outta Compton,” Eminem’s “Lose Yourself” and Tupac’s “Killuminati.” The likely 2016 Republican presidential candidate, recently dubbed by Time Magazine the [...]

It’s probably futile to try to change current Republicans. It’s smarter to build a new wing of the Republican Party, one that can compete in the Northeast, the mid-Atlantic states, in the upper Midwest and along the West Coast. It’s smarter to build a new division that is different the way the Westin is different than the Sheraton … Would a coastal and Midwestern G.O.P. sit easily with the Southern and Western one? No, but majority parties are usually coalitions of the incompatible. This is really the only chance Republicans have. The question is: Who’s going to build a second G.O.P.?

We love a great hashtag on Twitter and #TeaPartyComebackMovies is pure gold, especially following the pathetic re-election of John “Never a Dry Eye White Guy” Boehner as Speaker of the House. Here are some of the best titles for movies we’d all like to miss: @jerrywey: Coultergiest @markm1962: 12 Angry White Men @markm1962: Uninformed Basterds [...]
