Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Not so fun when the rabbit gets the gun, is it?

An unpunished coup is a training exercise.

Within six months Twitter will be fully self-driving.

The republican speaker is a slippery little devil.

He seems like a smart guy, but JFC, what a dick!

If you are still in the gop, you are either an extremist yourself, or in bed with those who are.

They’re not red states to be hated; they are voter suppression states to be fixed.

Bad people in a position to do bad things will do bad things because they are bad people. End of story.

So it was an October Surprise A Day, like an Advent calendar but for crime.

“Just close your eyes and kiss the girl and go where the tilt-a-whirl takes you.” ~OzarkHillbilly

Maybe you would prefer that we take Joelle’s side in ALL CAPS?

I’d try pessimism, but it probably wouldn’t work.

He really is that stupid.

Republicans don’t want a speaker to lead them; they want a hostage.

Republicans can’t even be trusted with their own money.

Motto for the House: Flip 5 and lose none.

Sadly, there is no cure for stupid.

Fight for a just cause, love your fellow man, live a good life.

There are consequences to being an arrogant, sullen prick.

Donald Trump, welcome to your everything, everywhere, all at once.

Hi god, it’s us. Thanks a heap, you’re having a great week and it’s only Thursday!

Alternative history is always a weak argument. Always.

If ‘weird’ was the finish line, they ran through the tape and kept running.

We will not go quietly into the night; we will not vanish without a fight.

I am proud to bring you this weeks RINO Sightings, the other weekly Carnival. Unlike previous offerings, I don’t have a creative bone in my body, so there will be no poetry or song lyrics.

RINOS Foreign:

Meanwhile, Chris Tiberius takes the foreign press to task.

The Armies of Liberation looks at media manipulation by the Yemeni President.

RINOS Domestic:

The Louisiana Libertarian discusses the new FEC hire, Penny Nance, and what the future might hold.

Mark Coffey, in his brand new digs at Decision ’08, takes some time to use Chris Lehane as a punching bag.

The Big Cat Chrnicles examines Hillary Clinton, show-stopper.

The Searchlight Crusades looks at border control.

Classical Values takes people to task for careless rhetoric, notably James Wolcott.

The Heartless Libertarian provides a book review of The Fair Tax Book.

Pigilito examines an Intelligent Design article, while the Idiom looks at Bush’s ID comments.

Resistance is Futile is planning to enroll his children in Hogwarts. Seriously.

My Pet Jawa looks at the press infatuation with DKos.

Dean Esmay defends Roosevelt and Truman from war criminal charges.

Don Surber chronicles the wholesale slaughter caused by the WV DNR.

Some think Paul Hackett deserves a refund.

I honestly don’t know how to describe this offering from Orac Knows.

Say Uncle discusses ‘What is a Right?’

Restless Mania looks at recent IAEA proclamations regarding Iran.

Richard Bennett examines an autism study.

Michael Demmons discusses the ‘myth of public property.’

A.J. Strata looks at the Democrats and Cindy Sheehan.

That’s all folks. If I missed anyone, let me know. Next Week, RINO sightings will be hosted by the World According to Nick.

    Memo to Jawa: No, Eleanor Clift isn’t retarded–she just plays the role of a cranially challenged soul on panel shows and as a columnist. Let’s face it–if she had as little brainpower as she appears to have when hanging out with The McLaughlin Group, chewing food would be a challenging task for her. Give her credit–she’s been more successful at playing a dimwit for fun and profit than Christina Applegate could have dreamed of being.

    Shucks, Scott, while we’re on the subject of mental retardation:

    (1) Jawa calls Kos an “anti-American traitor”. That’s especially interesting given the amount of foaming Kos did a few monnths ago against the idiots who think Islamic Fascism can be defeated without military conflict.

    (2) Jawa thinks (or, rather, screams) that it’s totally unimportant that Hackett lost by 4% in a distict that gave Bush a 36-point win the year before. Keep holding that thought, boys…

    I like that guy that did the ‘Fair Tax’ book review, He points out that if Americans could just earn interest on the money the govt withholds from their paychecks, they’d be able to buy additional guns and ammo.
    Now that’s good, moderate republican thinking.

    FYI, the “Some think Paul Hackett deserves a refund.” link is not quite “work safe”.

    Interesting to note that RINO doesn’t necessarily mean moderate in any way. Including people the the Jawa shows there is room for “Republican in Name Only; In Reality, a Sociopath”

    One of the comments at Jawa:

    I think it’s great that she’ll get him (Kos) even more traffic so people can go there, read the comments and see just how unhinged these people are.

    Of course, three comments up from that, we have this little gem:

    I eagerly anticipate the day when social order collapses in this country and chaos reigns, so that good citizens can hunt down POS leftards like the untermenschen they are. Unfortunately, that will probably never happen, and it’s more likely that he will remain a well paid party apparatchik whore until his death of old age. Oh well, at least Peter Jennings bit the dust, now for Rather…

    Yep, good thing none of the righty blogs feature comments from unhinged people.

    Love the first picture and the last one made me laugh out loud.

    Great way to start the day.

  10. […] Well, just because of the nice photoshop job, I’ll send you over to this week’s edition of RINO Sightings, hosted by John Cole. Since I can’t figure out what it means to be a Republican, I certainly can’t figure out what it means to be a Republican In Name Only. But if politicians and pundits are being lambasted, it’s gotta be worth checking out the links. […]
