Republicans don't take Fridays off from being crazy, so neither do I. Since nobody compiles all the cray cray they dish out every day, I'm going to try. So enjoy all the batsh!ttery I could find for this Friday, November 22, 2013.
Best of all, a Minnesotan Republican appears on the list and it isn't Rep. Michele Bachmann. Stewart Mills III is the Fleet Farm heir and running unopposed as the Republican candidate to face MN-08's Rep. Rick Nolan (DFL-MN). Who knew that Mills the Third is an
Axl Rose impersonator, beer bong aficionado and woman licker. So much talent!
The
Senate Conservative Fund is attacking the man who has done everything in his power to make President Obama's life a living hell. The SCF says: "What's stupid is for Mitch McConnell to think that appeasement is a winning strategy." I love it when the GOP eat their own for doing exactly they do what they want them to but lose. What's crazy is that the Tea Party politics the SCF represents supported a plank of RWNJ candidates for US Senate who lost winnable elections in conservative districts denying McConnell more votes in the Senate.
Rush Limbaugh compares filibuster reform to

Republicans in the state of Washington made a mistake that only the GOP could make. They hired a woman to be their state chair. No, that wasn't the mistake. This was: they decided to pay her less than the man who last held the position. "The pay cut defies the concept of equal pay for equal work, playing into the ‘war on women’ narrative against Republicans," says new Chair Susan Hutchins. They also denied her request for a raise to make what her predecessor made.
Fox News gets surreal. They were trying to expose panhandler scammers. Instead it comes off as four heartless, rich and creepy people discussing how being The Grinch is really the way to go.
A South Dakota school district dropped the Pledge of Allegiance in 1970. Fox News reported it like they just did it. Now school board member have been threatened when what they actually did was reinstate it.
Conservative columnist John Derbyshire hasn't seen Twelve Years a Slave. But he's certain that it's too hard on slavery.
I mentioned Wednesday that the GOP was going to do outreach in Michigan to African-American voters. They are going to have Rand Paul lead the effort. That will go well, I'm sure.
Karl Rove: Harry Read really screwed up this time.
Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker is convinced that using the War on Women narrative against him won't work.
