What an Asshole...

“It’s not surprising,” U.S. Rep. Pete Hoekstra, a Republican, said of the alleged terrorist attempt to blow up a Northwest Airlines flight in Detroit. … “People have got to start connecting the dots here and maybe this is the thing that will connect the dots for the Obama administration,” Hoekstra said.

1. I think these guys are really upset that some major disaster hasn't happened yet

Repugs really, really need something big to really go haywire.

2. They've been hoping. Since it hasn't happened, they fell back on the 2nd plan....

Putting Jane Hamsher on the GOP payroll.

:shrug:

3. Yep. It's killing them that nothing blew up so they could blame Obama.

Ha ha.

6. They need health care.

9. They need a mental evaluation.

They are strangers to rational thought.

12. Unfortunately it looks like there were some ostensible warnings

Expect to hear the far right and their surrogate screech monkeys to be hollering for weeks about it.

5. You can smell the real wish Hoekstra had for those passengers.....

In fact, he is politicizing this event....
that is what those words he spoke meant.
But I'm not surprised, as I had already imagined
a scenario where something similar but more tragic happened,
and the reaction of those in opposition to this President.
It ain't pretty, but it is predictable.

7. So when the guy tried to set his sneakers

on fire in an airplane for overseas, those dots should have been connected also. Gee isn't it a shame that they think we are so dumb we don't REMEMBER this stuff. I can't remember hoekstra getting up and saying something this ignorant when the sneaker incident happened. Shame I am not close enough to puke on him at the mike.

8. Hey lets all send Hoekstra an email asking him

why he didn't connect the dots with bush and the Sneaker Man. If every body on this site sends him a message saying that do you think he would know that we think he is a stupid as hell and shut the devil up. I'm gonna look up his zip code so I can get an email thru ask him that.

10. Yeah...

13. What do you like on your pizza?

[otohara]

14. Or....Just Make Up The Dots

and connect them which ever way you want to fit an agenda.

How soon they forget.
