I haven’t posted anything about the Top Ten Conservative Idiots List the past couple of weeks because, frankly, I’ve been getting tired of doing so. Last week’s list featured some of those involved in the Foley scandal. This week, I didn’t read the list at all until just a few minutes ago. They really took a departure from the usual format — it’s a column focused entirely on the events and figures in the Foley scandal. It’s well worth the read to see everything put together in one place like that.
All too often the perception of current events becomes disjointed because of media soundbytes spread out over several days or weeks. People tend to focus on the here-and-now, failing to make the connection between what they hear today and what they heard two days ago. That’s one of the reasons so many politicians are able to get away with so much buffoonery and still stay in office.
I do so love watching the Republicans drown in their own idiocy. I hope they keep sinking all the way to the ballot box.
