Shut Up Fool Awards-Congressional Vacation Edition

135488 600 Congress recess cartoons
It's August, and that means Congress has bailed from Washington and is headed back to their states and districts to talk to their constituents.  The Republicans are getting an earful from their FOX Noise propagandized Tea Klux Klan followers who want them to shut down the government when they return.

Not like the GOP members of the House and Senate were inclined to pass any legislation while they were inside I-495 anyway on our dime.  The House GOP majority voted for the 40th time to kill Obamacare and for the third time to defund an ACORN that has been dead for three years before they ran to DCA and IAD. 

But enough of me riffing on the GOP.   It's Friday, and time for me to call out the fool, fools or group of fools who have earned this week's Shut Up Fool awards. 

Honorable mention number one we're going Down Under for in Stephanie Banister.   She's proof that the USA doesn't have a monopoly of ignorantly stupid English speaking politicians.  She's running for the Aussie Parliament in next month's elections to represent Queensland as a member of the far right One Nation party and makes Sarah Palin and Christine O'Donnell look like MENSA candidates. 




Honorable Mention number two is Sen. Ted Cruz  (Teabagger-TX).  Where do I start?   Teabagger Ted saying conservatism is misunderstood and continuing to beat the drums for a government shutdown.

Naw Ted, we peeped your conservagame and y'all ARE stupid, racist and may I add vanillacentric privileged arrogant, too.   Can't wait until 2018 to vote for your Democratic Senate opponent.

Honorable mention number three is Rep Steve Stockman (Teabagger-TX), who parted his lips to say during a Newsmax interview that the Democrats are winning the argument on Obamacare because they get sad-looking people in wheelchairs

Naw Steve, the Dems are winning the argument on Obamacare because a majority of the nation thinks that we shouldn't have 40 million people in this country without health insurance and your HMO insurance friends shouldn't be denying people coverage for fun and their fat paychecks.

Honorable mention number four is a group one that goes to all the Arizona bigots who showed up at that Phoenix protest uttering racist slurs at President Obama.  

Every time I start feeling embarrassed about my Texas GOP idiots, right on cue the Arizona, Florida, Tennessee or North Carolina GOP idiots do or say something to top them.

This week's winner is FOX Noise contributor Erik Erickson, who called State Senator Wendy Davis 'Abortion Barbie.'   He also recently directed pro-choice supporter to a coat hanger sales site after the restrictive Texas abortion bill passed, later responding to criticism by offering his "Sincere Apologies to the Kid Killing caucus."

Stay classy Erik and Shut up fool!
