    Humanity is not a GOP priority

    Tolerance and basic humanity? There's no chance the right would dare alienating it's lockstep-Bush-supporting-anti-gay-pro-war-with-anyone-brown 27% with that.

    Let's encourage them to keep slipping on their own hypocrisy and falling face first into toilets.

    It's lurid media, but if we had it in the past we might've been spared the civil rights abuses of the self-hating J. Edgar Hoover.
