The Nappy Cat Chronicles

If you haven’t read about Democratic Representative Bill Delahunt’s snarky rejoinder to the Republican chief of staff to Dick Cheney and neighborly sociopath David Addington, you can fascinate yourself here. Via John Cole, the red army is so utterly outraged that it’s gonna do something:

This discourse — a member of Congress glad Al Qaeda has a face it can pursue — is beneath the dignity of the Congress and beneath the dignity of civil discourse in this country.

If you do not call your Congressman today and demand the House of Representatives, at the very *least*, censure Congressman Delahunt, well damn us all. We have no right to carry on our fight.

What I hear is the usual “Outdo us on stupid! We’ll show ya!” chatter. So, hell, let’s take a short trip through Republicans-say-the-darndest-things history:

• Bill Frist on Terri Schiavo: “I question it based on a review of the video footage, which I spent an hour or so looking at last night in my office here in the Capitol.”
• Grover Norquist on Barak Obama: “John Kerry with a tan.”
• Bobby Jindal on his support of intelligant design: “I’d certainly want my kids to be exposed to the very best science.”
• Michael Reagan on Howard Dean: “Howard Dean should be arrested for treason and either hung or put in a hole until the war’s over.”
• Danny Bonaduce on Rosie O’Donnell: “Personally I think at this point if anyone had a rope thick enough, I think that Rosie should be strung up for treason…I think you can…If you are offering aid and comfort to the enemy.”
• Michele Malkin on Rachel Ray’s scarf: “[M]any readers have e-mailed about, Dunkin Donuts’ spokeswoman Rachel Ray’s clueless sporting of a jihadi chic keffiyeh in a recent DD ad campaign. I’m hoping her hate couture choice was spurred more by ignorance than ideology.”
• Tom Delay on gun violence: “Guns have little or nothing to do with juvenile violence. The causes of youth violence are working parents who put their kids into daycare, the teaching of evolution in the schools, and working mothers who take birth control pills.”
• Hugh Hewitt on football… and President Obama: “By the way, I — I’m still trying to find two tickets to the Ohio State-USC game. And none of the USC people will give up their tickets to me. I’d pay fair price. They — they know Ohio State’s gonna slaughter the Trojans. They know that they’re gonna slaughter the Trojans, and therefore they do not want me there at the bloodbath, since it’s probably the last football game we’ll ever get to see before the United States gets blown up by the Islamists under Obama.”
• Burt Prelutsky on Michelle Obama: “[A] nasty, bitter, openly racist ingrate.”
• Dick Cheney lying about Chinese oil drilling: “[O]il is being drilled right now 60 miles off the coast of Florida. But we’re not doing it, the Chinese are, in cooperation with the Cuban government. Even the communists have figured out that a good answer to high prices is more supply.”
• Dinesh D’Souza on American leftists: “In reality, the left already has a foreign policy and a strategy, and it is called working in tandem with bin Laden to defeat Bush…[T]he left is the domestic insurgency that provides a counterpart to the Iraq insurgency. It is at least as dangerous as any of bin Laden’s American sleeper cells.”
• James Dobson on disciplining little dogs: “I had seen this defiant mood before, and knew there was only one way to deal with it. The ONLY way to make Siggie obey is to threaten him with destruction. Nothing else works. I turned and went to my closet and got a small belt to help me ‘reason’ with Mr. Freud.”
