Douchebag of the Day of the Week

grassleywebI think he’s won the rest of the week (as well as twice today):

In an interview today on MSNBC’s “Morning Meeting with Dylan Ratigan,” Senate Finance Committee ranking member Chuck Grassley (R) said he’d vote against any health-care reform bill coming out of the committee unless it has wide support from Republicans — even if the legislation contains EVERYTHING Grassley wants.

I have no words left.

Could we just go ahead and declare him the “Douchebag of August”?

Sounds like someone’s gunning for a Crystal Douchebag this December.

Why don’t we do an award along the line of “On Health Care, There is No Bigger Douchebag” and announce it on the webs, dude’s hometown paper, etc?

Jack Cafferty just now on the dude w/ the AR-15: “What if some nut took that rifle away from him? It may be legal but it’s just plain stupid.”

@Mistress Cynica:

I think that prize is likely to go to whichever Blue Dog decides to talk the loudest/most. After all, Grassley is a Republican – douchebaggery is pretty much expected.

Oh, yeah, that is exactly what the guy wants. Likely there are truck loads of guys waiting a few minutes away just waiting for a pre-text to drive in shooting. I dunno how the USSS guys keep their cool in situations like this. This is fucking nuts. This place is just barbaric beyond reclamation.

@FlyingChainSaw: Turns out I got a picture of one of them. I didn’t even realize she was carrying when I snapped the pictures of her.

I’ll email nojo so he can post it.

@Jamie Sommers: Jesus, if you are there, please get out. Please.

@nojo: Did you see her photos on FB? Jamie documented the kuhrazee.

@FlyingChainSaw: Don’t worry. I left around 10:30ish once I heard that Barry was already inside. I guess they had him take a route into the convention center that was far away from all the crazy.
