Rohrabacher; roaring again on climate 'fraud'


Not to bore you or anything after my villainous attack on the Rev. Santorum in my  last post, I must add another to the list of Grumpy Abe Linguistic  Lunatics (GALL) awardees.

True, he's way out in Southerrn California and only imperils us with minimal harm. But we shouldn't igrnore him altogether, should we?

We refer you to U.S. Rep. Dana Rohrabacher.  He recently went around calling illegal immigrants "white trash" that should receive no aid from the government.  And now he is again ripping notions of climate change as"fraud" designed by local elected officials. 

From there he says our problem is really some unamed Nigerian who is making decisions for Americans as a UN guy.

 I'm getting dizzy, so I'll stop there by warning you that the congressman  is a senior member of the House Committee on Science, Space and Technology.  It has also been pointed out by  others that the committee chair is Rep. Lamar Smith, the Texas Republican who also is a climate change denier.

Wingnut Republicans who control Speaker John Boehner's haunted house don't leave any  crazy idea to chance.

Note to Speaker Boehner: Steve King's YOUR problem.

 Rep. Steve King, the Iowa  Republican, had no sooner likened the kids of undocumented immigrants to  "drug mules" with bulging calves the size of "cantaloupes," than some of his GOP colleagues shuddered  at his metaphor.  Doesn't the maniacal  Iowan realize that some Republicans are doing their damnedest to convince Latinos that they are all  brothers and sisters of wholesome Americans? Apparently not, which is why Speaker John Boehner, departing briefly from his sky-is-falling rants against President Obama,  promptly described the remarks as "hateful and ignorant".

Worse yet, Rep. Raul Labrador, Idaho Republican, blamed the media for reporting King's comments.  Ah, but there's a problem here.  The last time I looked, Steve King's House roll call vote on any issue counted as much as Boehner's or Labrador's.  I'd say King, who is among those who have jolted the party's derangement still farther to the Right, is the GOP's problem, not the media's, which doesn't have a vote.
