To quote TomCat: "Almost every week, Republicans join a competition to see who can say the most outlandish things, and in the process, they push the envelope on just how despicable InsaniTEA can become.  I trust that you will believe it, when I tell you that last week was no exception."<\/span><\/p>\n

The week was overflowing with right-wing assholery mixed with a generous dollop of buffoonery. As Trump’s inevitability grew stronger, he launched his sexist Hillary-bashing campaign in earnest. <\/p>\n

4. Glenn Beck reacted entirely reasonably to John Boehner’s criticism of Ted Cruz.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Oh, hahahahaha. No he didn’t. He covered his face in Cheeto dust<\/a>.<\/p>\n

It was a hard week for Beck. First, his “divinely inspired” boy Ted Cruz lost all five states to Donald Trump on Tuesday, giving Cruz no realistic shot whatsoever at the nomination. Then Cruz named his vice presidential running mate anyway, the immensely likable Carly Fiorina, who sang a song that reminded everyone of an evil witch in a fairy tale. Then Cruz stunned everyone in Indiana with his stupidity about basketball. Then John Boehner made a rare appearance and told his truth about Ted, which is that he is “Lucifer in the flesh<\/a>” and a “miserable son of a bitch.”<\/p>\n

In a dazzling act of protest against the conspiracy of the orange men, Trump and Boehner, and to simulate their hue, a begoggled Beck performed a faceplant in a bowl of Cheeto dust.<\/p>\n

Wanna see? Here’s video<\/a> that will not scare the children, although it may make you lose your lunch.<\/p>\n
