Hate radio has been able th Blurt sick one-liners for years, but only now, by the Blessed Coming of the Digital Twit Network, are Corporal Twits like Newtsie Gin_rich able to instantly chirp whatever demented bile a thumb can imagine. And it's just about as quick as shooting from the lip.
Sticking his thumb in Judge Sotomayor's eye is possibly an act NG would like to take back, but he can't. The best he can do now is apologize. (fat chance-HaHa). Maybe he can claim he was mis-twitted.
What he won't escape is the fact that Some Will Say his dumbass Twitter is the fulcrum point around which, all the clusterfuckery that is the GOP,,, puts his party in the toilet for a generation or two.
I feel safe to say that even the most hardened right-wing Cuban Refugee survivor of the Bahía de Cochinos fiasco will take umbrage with this GOP Racist crap. Millions of votes are Gone Forever to the GOP. They may as well disband & sell off whatever they can.
Republiklans deal in sound bites and when required to write or say more than a short sentence or two, or compose anything that makes sense,,, well except for Buckley, who's dead - they probably shouldn't even try.
The so-called left was born to blogging because of the depth and breadth of the new method's ability to carry and spread the understanding of accurate information. It's fast, but you still have time to breathe & count to ten before tapping something sick. There is also plenty of room to overstate one's case.
Helping to accent this point is the sudden last gasp attempts by Sen. Jeff Sessions, R-Ala Sen. Cornyn (R-Big Hat), Michael Steel )R-Big Mouth) & a few other R's to back away. But it's too late. They can't apologize, and even it they all vote to confirm Judge Sotomayor to the SCOTUS, it will be much too little & way beyond hypocritical. BTW, they won't actually apologize to the 650 pound GorilLimbaugh this time. Make no mistake, they'll grab ankle somehow - but no official apology.
Normally the constant stream of racist comments among white "colleagues" wherever business suits meet, rarely escapes the confines of the wall of BS that is their public face. Almost suddenly however, these usually unheard comments are finding their way out - through Twitter.
Maybe the founders should have named it Blurt instead of Twitter. Collective Gooper fantasies can now be generated at the speed of light,,, the only restriction is the Twit's num-character limit. The irony is, RepubliKlansmen do not excel at repartee. Its very brevity encourages flutters of deep rooted beliefs, thoughts, prejudices, ole boy shit-talk & strange confessions to to be Blurted into the Buzz, unfiltered by any civil standards. Unlike normal people, they tend to be never clever - always cruel. Nonetheless, they are drawn to it like moths to the flame.
Eventually, like learning how to hold liquor, evolution will strain out those defective Rs who can't hold their twits. The survivors if any, can then thank Darwin.
