Latest GOP Fail~



An attempt by the National Republican Congressional Committee to embarrass Democrats went awry on Thursday, when the group published a blog post riddled with errors.

For example, they referred to then-IRS Commissioner Doug Shulman as “Dan.” They must have missed Ron Christie getting pummeled by Joy-Ann Reid about that very guy.

They also mentioned two House Democrats who had already retired, so they were no longer “House Democrats.”

Next they confused Rep. Luis Gutierrez (D-Ill.) with the former mayor of Medellín, Colombia, Luis Pérez Gutiérrez– in a photo! Yes, they managed to put their ignorance and sloppiness out there in picture form for all to see. HuffPo has the visuals.

Their excuse?

NRCC spokesman Daniel Scarpinato told The Huffington Post, “This was an early draft that was not meant to be posted publicly because it had not yet been edited.”

Isn’t that just like the NRCC? They go to all that effort to find just the right photo and wham! Someone has to go and tell them it’s the wrong Gutierrez. And the wrong “House Democrats.” And the wrong Shulman.

They must have been crestfallen.

And humiliated.

1. This Gutierrez, that Gutierrez, to a RW NRCC hater it just doesn't make a bit of difference.

3. For a Dem/Lib to commit an act one tenth that bad, it calls for, at the least, a public lynching.

For a Repug/Cons/TEAbag to do such a thing ... probably get to host his or her own talk show in the "liberally-biased media".
