Still too big to be an insane asylum, but the gap is closing fast.

Hard to beat this for summing up the state of South Carolina Republican politics:

But cheer up. You and other officials of this state have given me a good response to make the next time someone asks me why as an lgbt do I remain in South Carolina.

Now I can say:

"Are you kidding? We got an adulterous Governor, a possibly gay Lt. Governor, a former chair of the state education board who wrote pornopgraphy and a representative who can't control himself when a black president is speaking.

If I left now, I would probably miss the floor show."

And none of the big swinging' blogs of the Right are dealing seriously with any of it. They are elbowing each other for more room at the trough of a party that is inbred and corrupt, that calls legislative appointments of the judiciary "elections", that raises hypocrisy about morals to an art form, that couldn't fight their way out of a wet paper bag to recognize a real economic development program, that indulges racism and misogyny while orgasmically shouting, "Look! we have a black guy running for lieutenant governor!"

Well, except maybe this from Americablog:

Wilson will probably be a hero to teabaggers and immigrant-bashers. He'll probably be on Lou Dobbs tomorrow night. But, the best response I saw was from HunterDK on Twitter:

Old white southern congressman Joe Wilson (R-SC), confused, shouts at Obama to get off his lawn.
