Time for right-wing WTF and schadenfreude

Since I'm not having the best day -- tired, having to chronicle the Righthaven bullsh*t, hair falling out from stress, one might as well turn to pathetic, mind-boggling garbage from right-wing land for relief.

* From JMG, what has to be a case of epic self-loathing:

Remember The Asshat Legislator Who Tried To Repeal LGBT Rights In Montana?

She's totally a closeted lesbian. So says my very trusted tipster who adds this about Montana state GOP Rep. Kristin Hansen: "She lives with a woman who she introduces to others as her 'friend' but has confirmed to a handful of people is her partner. The partner's ex has also been telling people what's up." Hansen was first elected to office last year with the backing of the Tea Party.

* And after getting busted sending out an email depicting Barack Obama as the child of two apes (right), teabagger Orange County Republican functionary, Marilyn Davenport "apologized" (and says she won't step down):

"I humbly apologize and ask for your forgiveness of my unwise behavior," the statement said. "I say unwise because at the time I received and forwarded the email, I didn't stop to think about the historic implications and other examples of how this could be offensive."

In the statement, Davenport also quoted the Bible and said she was "an imperfect Christian" who tried to "live a Christ-like honoring life."

"I would never do anything to intentionally harm or berate others regardless of ethnicity," she said. "I will not repeat this error."

You have to click over to Truth Wins Out and read Wayne Besen's "The Tea Party Racist? No Way, Because Monkeys Are Not A Race," and Karen Ocamb's "OC Republican Official Apologizes for Racist Email, Won't Resign." She noted that "In an Eyewitness News/SurveyUSA poll, 70% of Southern Californians familiar with the email said they found it offensive, 27% did not." Who the F are the 27&?!

* And let's take a ride completely off the rails with Glenn Beck who theorizes that "Corn Is Being Diverted In Plot To Get Rid Of People." Via MMFA:


Beck also announced this week that he's leaving the NYC area. Can we set off the fireworks yet?

The Blaze, a conservative new site launched by the radio host last year, is only the beginning of the content he will be offering to radio, television and the Internet, Beck reportedly said.

"I'm about to build a research department that will utilize the idle brains that we have, retired CIA, military, PhDs. As we build a new media, I'm not building it in New York," he added.
