Joe Wilson, Chucklehead

(Picture from here.)

Much as I would like to say the animal to the left is Joe Wilson, Congressman from South Carolina, it is not.

Joe Wilson isn't that nice.

I'm not going to go into all of the reasons this sort of nastiness is objectionable. That is better articulated here.

What is truly unfortunate about all this is how it has been completely embraced by the right. Coulter, for example, refers to Wilson as "America's greatest living statesman". (Of course, Coulter is incapable of not lying nor is she capable of citing her statements. But I will. Here's the article.)

Cousin Joe is now the darling pet rabid squirrel of the right.

God. I miss the Republican Party.
