Fat-ass-assinate Castro!

It's official. The Republicans in Congress have adopted a “Scorched Earth Policy”. They're going to be petty and take cheap shots and give meaningless busy work—some might call that business-as-usual—to the incoming Democratic-led Congress.

Take Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, R-Florida (Please!), for instance. Here's a person who claims to be honored to be part of the federal government of a country which ostensibly espouses “life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness”. Now, maybe she's been getting a lot of backchatter from other Republicans as being a softie and a nothing because she has:

• a hyphenated last name
• a Jewish last name
• a vagina

But even that doesn't excuse a person in her station of calling for the assassination of a foreign leader:

That is one classy ass(assination).

Then again, maybe I am at fault for thinking that Mel Gibson Michael Richards her Republican colleagues are racist and Pat Buchanan Rush Limbaugh sexist and should cut her a break.

Maybe she's calling for an assassination of the Castro, the world's capital of Ass-Ass Nation. Sure, killing's a step up from quarantining and illegalizing, but it's really just a difference of degree.

The more I think about it, the more I realize I may have been wrong. My bad.
