In Brief: Two Republicans, One Pussy and One Asshole, for the Day:
Pussy: Mitch McConnell, who said of two Iraqis arrested in Kentucky on terror charges (or, actually, "fighting against the United States in Iraq but, being pussies themselves, legally immigrated to Kentucky"), "Sending them to Gitmo is the only way we can be certain there won't be retaliatory attacks in Kentucky." Dude, just get 'em to blow up some mountaintops in your state to get at that coal that funds your campaigns. It's win-win.

Asshole: Michele Bachmann, who, like many in the GOP, claims that the protecting the environment through the, you know, Environmental Protection Agency, is actually a plot to regulate businesses to death. "It should really be renamed the Job-Killing Organization of America," said Bachmann at the debate the other night. Would that mean that we could call the GOP the "Earth Killing Organization of America"?
