Waste of a fine meringue

In today's classy representation of the modern Republican Party we have Allen West who sent what he or Steve King say to themselves in the mirror every morning to Deborah Wasserman-Schultz:

You are the most vile, unprofessional ,and despicable member of the US House of Representatives.

Oh well, let's see if we can get worse, if you're Michele Bachman you can give a reporter the kind of beating that Glenn Beck has to pay for.

And meanwhile those and a story like this...

Nearly one quarter of the Metropolitan Police’s press staff have worked for News International at some point, Sir Paul Stephenson, the outgoing commissioner, revealed today.

All get lost because some asshole decides to pie Rupert Murdoch and somehow make him into a sympathetic figure, no small trick.
