RNC: Gluttons for punishment

By GottaLaff

How stupid do you have to be to invite more negative attention about your own scandal while releasing harmless information about your intended target? DeflectionFail:

The RNC "has been on the defensive this week because of some questionable expenditures," First Read notes, and is "pushing back today by sending around a list of what the Democratic National Committee has spent money on, including more than $2 million on luxury hotels and caterers, $75,000 for car services, and $262,000 for 'other events' at the Kennedy Center, Fenway Park, and a D.C. nightclub."

The only problem is that there is nothing shocking in the list of Democratic expenditures that comes close to matching what Republicans spent on "bondage-themed nightclubs" and private jets.

Here's an idea, RNC: Clean up your act. Once that happens (as if...), go ahead and point fingers. Until then, it might be a good idea to stop the self-inflicted wounds.

Oh, and fire your chairman... but not too soon. We need him around for a few more months.

Dim Bulb Express

Following up the horror story that was my last post, here is some exquisite comic relief from the very same group:

About 500 people gathered in front of the Georgia Capitol Monday evening for a rally to mark the visit of two “The Tea Party Express” buses, a publicity campaign by conservatives that is traveling coast to coast. [...]

The speeches were set to start at 5:30 p.m., but the group forgot a podium, so the speeches started after dark. About 6 p.m., the buses arrived. Capitol police shut down Washington Street, and the crowd walked in the street.

Did we expect anything different?

Asked if she opposed Democrats or Republicans, [Ann Martin of Peachtree City] said, “Throw out all the incumbents. Let’s start over. This is a mess.”

She might very well have been referring to her own group of geniuses.
