WASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report) — Republican politicians blasted the Nevada rancher Cliven Bundy on Thursday for making flagrantly racist remarks instead of employing the subtler racial code words the G.O.P. has been using for decades.

“We Republicans have worked long and hard to develop insidious racial code words like ‘entitlement society’ and ‘personal responsibility,’?” said Sen. Rand Paul (R-Kentucky). “There is no excuse for offensive racist comments like the ones Cliven Bundy made when there are so many subtler ways of making the exact same point.”

Fox News also blasted the rancher, saying in a statement, “Cliven Bundy’s outrageous racist remarks undermine decades of progress in our effort to come up with cleverer ways of saying the same thing.”

1. Borowitz Kick

That's freakin' hilarious.

It's actually what they're saying too, from Hannity to Rand, the outrage is that they "detest that kind of language".

I wonder if Hannity called him on his personal phone to call him a dumbass for screwing up a sweet deal.

"I only bemoan, er, I mean 'detest' the language with which you expressed it."
