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 awful InsaniTEA can become.  I trust that you will believe it, when I tell you that last week was no exception.<\/font><\/p>\n

Stuart Varney is so happy about that plane crash.<\/strong><\/p>\n

For Stuart Varney, the more plane crashes the better. Plane crashes are good for Donald Trump. They get people scared, and they also kill people, and that is just great.<\/p>\n

Fox and Friends invited Fox Business' Stuart Varney [Faux Business Noise delinked<\/em>] on to discuss the crash of EgyptAir Flight 804<\/a> and how it would affect the stock market, which is already cold-blooded enough. But Varney made his craven indifference to human life even more apparent by casting the tragedy in terms of what it does for Donald Trump’s potential presidency.<\/p>\n

“I also think this may be good politically for Donald Trump,” Varney said, first commending the presumed GOP nominee for irresponsibly declaring the crash the work of terrorists before anything at all was known about it.<\/p>\n

“He’s already tweeted out<\/a> saying this is probably terrorism. I believe that's the nature of his tweet. He’s the guy who is saying, hands off, keep Muslims out temporarily whilst we figure out who comes in. An incident of this type is surely a plus for Donald Trump.”<\/p>\n

Does he hear the words as they issue from his mouth?<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Varney's Trump Rump licking is only the fourth of six awful Republican moments listed for last week alone.
