Jennifer Rubin's 'Plan B'? To go absolutely, unambiguously, stark-fucking-raving nuts. God I love this woman.
Today she attempts some spirit-lifting of the palsied right by reporting that an "apoplectic" White House is being "openly mock[ed]" by Republicans--well now that's a whole new tactic; that Grover Norquist "can play a tough game of chess," too--Jennifer meant to say "hopscotch"; and that the Boehner-mocking Heritage Action Network is only humiliating its bad-ass self by issuing--and this I really do like--"piffle."
Then, while wiping the foaming saliva from her quivering lips, Ms. Rubin goes out in a gotcha flurry of procedural malcomprehension which only reignites our utter puzzlement at the Washington Post's employ of such an incurable idiot: "[T]he House will pass its bills and send them to the Senate. Poor Senate Dems will actually have to vote on something."
Or, as Democratic Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid put it today, "We are not taking up anything they are working on over there."
With each new column Rubin illustrates that her ability to write pure crap has no limits. Making fun of her columns is too easy. It is almost beneath you PM.

With respect to the complete abortion of Boenher's Plan B (ironic don't you think) I think I understand why Rubin is such a skinny wench. She apparently subsists on a diet of her own words. Thin gruel that.

Ha! Love that pic, Minnpipe! I recall seeing it during the campaign, when Romney was all het up about the unconscionable disrespect of the Democrats daring to call him out on his lies. It circulated then with the caption:
And then he said, "I demand an apology!"
I suspect that image is going to get more play, with more delicious captions, in the coming months and years.
