1. another stupid repug

[Ineeda]

2. The way to handle this moran:

A: express fury at his idiocy and disrespect as a member of congress and
B: ridicule and outright mockery

I prefer option B because it's usually the most effective weapon against puffed-up dopes.

[liberal N proud]

3. We need to save Washington from the ignorant

Save Washington, save the world.

[Still In Wisconsin]

4. Next thing you know the Russian army will invade Moscow!

Then what will we do?

[Fantastic Anarchist]

11. Retreat to Leningrad and Stalingrad ... n/t

23. In his mind he is an expert on maps. In fact he already thinks he's a legend.

Sorry I couldn't resist.

[Chipper Chat]

24. LOL

Is he a "kill-o-meter" or just "comic-relief"

[underpants]

26. Maybe he lost his bearings

[lewebley3]

5. No wonder the GOP wanted this Guy: He can't think for himself. The prefect Employee for Koch!!

This man just what the GOP wants, he will do anything including
lining his pockets with American Solders lives.


We should demand a grand jury hearing!!

[YOHABLO]

53. You Betcha !

[hue]

81. Stupidity is the hallmark of the RW Republicans. Its required.

[FailureToCommunicate]

6. Maybe we should cut him some slack. They've only RECENTLY controlled Tehran,

...like 5000 years or so.

[Fantastic Anarchist]

12. Don't tell him what happened to Constantinople ...

... he may just lose his shit.

[valerief]

79. Certainly no more than 6000, cuz, you know, Jesus and stuff. nt

[George II]

7. Hey, let's cut him a break. Remember, for a short while 2 weeks ago.....

....Israel controlled Washington! Hopefully the person who occupied the Congressional chamber back then won't even be occupying Jerusalem come tomorrow morning.

[Plucketeer]

44. +1! nt

[Baitball Blogger]

8. All he needs to validate his statement is to

throw a snowball at the map.

[Fantastic Anarchist]

9. This is absolutely shocking!

We need to freedomize those Iranians from the, er ... um, Iranians!

[AlbertCat]

65. We need to freedomize those Iranians from the, er ... um, Iranians!

That worked well in Afghanistan and Iraq! Go for it guys....

I'm sure they're sure a majority will support them.

10. One would think.. he would have

brushed up more.. for his big splash on the Sunday show.

57. And, actually giving a shite

[AlbertCat]

Quality is not one of the GOP's goals.

13. Incredible.

Harvard must have severely lowered its standards for admission.

14. Jon Stewart will probably have a field day

with this on tonight's show.

16. Cotton Gin conflated Iran and ISIS. Both start with an 'I.' He forgot that Iran is mainly Shia, so

Last edited Mon Mar 16, 2015, 05:19 PM - Edit history (1)

ISIS has marked all of them for Death.

All the same to Cotton Gin. And apparently the Koch brothers, since he's their employee.

Bernie is right when he talks about the Koch Party being bigger than either of the others. But they stay in the shadows, abetted by MSM:

President Obama trolls the Koch brothers and Fox News:



And speaking of conservative heroes, the Koch brothers bought a table here tonight. But as usual, they used a shadowy right-wing organization as a front. Hello, Fox News.

21. BAZINGA!!

[freshwest]

49. And now the new improved from the GOP: Benghazimail!

[AlbertCat]

68. He forgot that Iran is mainly Shia,

I'll bet he didn't "forget".

[mfcorey1]

17. Somebody, please save us!

No words for this poor excuse for a representative of the Congress of the United States of America.

[niyad]

18. he is a graduate of harvard--must have been sleeping through all his classes.

[Helen Borg]

19. How about the fact that Americans control Washington DC? And San Francisco?

[tartan2]

20. 1 question folks

How the fuck did Tom Cotton get thru Harvard? Harvard what are you doing just giving degrees to anyone who can pay for it?

[murielm99]

39. Was he a legacy,

like the shrub at Yale?

[freshwest]

52. Was taught law by Elizabeth Warren:

Last edited Tue Mar 17, 2015, 12:02 AM - Edit history (1)

After graduating from Harvard magna cum laude with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Government,[5] he completed the Publius Fellowship[6] at the Claremont Institute and attended the Claremont Graduate University before moving on to Harvard Law School, where he was taught by Elizabeth Warren.[7] He received his J.D. degree in June 2002.[3][8]

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tom_Cotton#Early_life_and_education

Haven't heard anything from her about him, but he may be just a footnote as she had hundreds of students, and no reflection on her. So, he learned to read and write well enough to be a blogger and to pen this missive.

He'll continue to inflict his particular brand of Teahadism upon the American people through the Presidential elections in 2016, and likely beyond that. At only 37 years of age, he has plenty of time along with the rest of the GOP freshman class in Congress to make mischief.

Note that by his voting record, nothing he does to us will affect his own personal fortune. He is following the agenda of the Koch brothers and all their friends, but he will be okay no matter what occurs to others not in that station of life.

So it's easy for him to pursue the oppression of others for sport. What greater blood sport is there for a Republican than the demise of those on their list of prey?

[Major Hogwash]

72. Wow, that is a horrific, albeit totally accurate, analysis of Cotton.

So it's easy for him to pursue the oppression of others for sport. What great blood sport is there for a Republican than the demise of those on their list of intended victims?

Jesus, he's sounds just like a Roman centurion driving a chariot chasing down fleeing Christians!!

[turbinetree]

22. Lets see

he got his commission at West Point did he not, and somewhere in that institution they had to have told him where Iran was and where Tehran was located, and to think we the public paid for his commission with our tax dollars, and to top it off the senator or congressman that sponsored this hypocrite should be called and asked him if he knew how stupid this right wing hypocrite was, and why did he do it.
And now he gets over $174,000 a year sitting behind a desk writing letters and dismissing the Constitution and what he suppose to do when he swore allegiance to the document--- right along with 47% of the other right wing hypocrites
I want my money back he failed the geography test, just imagine if he saw combat where would he lead the troops---to the water to get baptized, with his right wing agenda that he is pro-life
wtf:

[jaczer]

48. 174K ?

Our leader of the 47 gang not only gets 174K pr yr. He got over 900K from the Israeli Emergency Fund before his senate election. Hmmm Probably had nothing to do with his seditious assault on our President ??
jaczer8

[GP6971]

55. He's not a graduate of West Point

but a graduate of OCS in 2005

[Sick_of_TP]

27. With such a grasp on foreign

affairs and geography, hopefully he runs for pres. when he gets a chance. We could sure use a genius for Pres.

With such an astute ability of map reading, he must have a full time driver to get him home.

[Brigid]

28. So Tehran, the captial of Iran is in the hands of . . . wait for it . . .

the Iranians!!

[underpants]

29. He should have Moldova the question more before answering it

[valerief]

30. "Think we can secede it from the Iranians, Senator?"

[d_legendary1]

31. Funny how the first thing that pops up when I enter this story is

a picture of Oprah Winfrey crying her eyes out. This is pretty sad. And cotton is a Congressman.

[genxlib]

32. "Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor!!"

"Don't stop him, he's on a roll"

[calimary]

33. Oh yeah, he's the little boy who's upset because Tehran has fallen to the Iranians!

Oh woe is us!!!

I guess at this point it should be - "please proceed, Senator." And please do tell us all what else you know!!!

[murielm99]

40. He does look like a lost little boy,

or he would, if not for those eyes. He has the same dead eyes as Walker. Maybe it is because someone else owns his soul. Someone, like the Koch brothers.

[calimary]

42. Great way to put it, murielm99!

That's a GREAT way to describe both of those assholes. With those dead eyes. brownback in Kansas has those same dead eyes. As does rick scott in Florida. And the list goes on...

"Maybe it's because someone else owns his soul."

[Thor_MN]

58. Maybe he went the the American Crossroads to make a deal with the devil....

American Crossroads being Karl Rove's SuperPac.

[TheCowsCameHome]

34. Cotton: "Meh. Rand Paul, Rand McNally, what's the diff?"

Asshat.

[SpankMe]

35. And he's educated, too.

Per Wikipedia, he graduated from Harvard magna cum laude with a degree in government of all things...and then went on to Harvard Law.

Plus, he's a legitimate combat veteran having served in Iraq in the mid-90's.

This is a pretty impressive pedigree of education and life experience for a 37 year old man.

SO WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENED TO MAKE HIM SUCH AN OVERWHELMING DUMBASS!!!!????

[valerief]

80. Well, we can't blame his parents. They're lifelong Dems. Cotton had a horrible

speech impediment when he was young. Maybe he was bullied. Maybe he's "gonna show them!"

More likely he's exactly what he claims other people are, per his Harvard senior thesis--"people are inherently selfish, narrow-minded, and impulsive." Sounds just like Cotton.

http://www.theatlantic.com/features/archive/2014/09/the-making-of-a-conservative-superstar/380307/

[progressoid]

37. Sounds like GOP presidential material to me.

[catbyte]

38. Andd I just read a headline saying that Red State is calling this dumbass "The Most Powerful

Man in Washington."

[avebury]

78. Ted Cruz may have something to say

about that.

[oldandhappy]

41. Did he have helicopter parents

who showed up to make sure he was never held accountable for learning anything in grade school and high school? I am sure they do not teach geography in law school!!

Hang in there Tom. You will completely destroy your credibility in another day or so!!

[3catwoman3]

43. He must not have been in logistics...

...reconnaissance.

[SoapBox]

45. Tehran Tom went to a very expensive school for his edumacation...

The Palin College of Word Salad.

[tclambert]

46. I got a letter from Tom Cotton, and he says I may NOT have won the Publisher's Clearing House

Sweepstakes! He says not to trust those Publisher's Clearing House letters that say I may have won. He says Congress may not approve it.

[heaven05]

50. geez

...and people(murikuns) voted this clown into the position he is in today....I have had it......

[shenmue]

51. Oh noes, whatever shall we do?

Soon, London will be in the hands of England!

[wolfie001]

54. What a monumental clown.

[Todays_Illusion]

56. Our Republicans don't seem to know much about the nation they want to have a war against.

Remember Romney's debate statement that Iran had to be friends with Syria because Iran doesn't have their own seaports. LOL!

[MADem]

59. The stupid, it burns! The hypocrisy? Alive and well....

[nilesobek]

60. Losing respect for Harvard at this point.

It's been on a downhill trend anyhow.

[Thor_MN]

61. Whole new twist on "High Cotton"

Instead of "recently come into very good circumstances", stepping on your 4!@%, or just plain old high...

[Turbineguy]

62. When you're a teabagger, never

miss an opportunity to show everyone that you're an idiot. That's the only way your base will support and elect you.

[Initech]

63. One giant, steaming pile of fail.

[lonestarnot]

64. So people vote for a shit stain like that guy for what reason? Is it to demonstrate everyone in

Merika ain't smart, and even the stupid are suppose to receive representation in governance? Or they think they'll make money if he's elected so they can be rich too? Just WTF is that? PS we never want to see any of his fucking email ok?

[marmar]

67. How does the Republican Party find so many idiots? .................

............. or maybe the idiots just find the Republican Party.

[allan01]

69. hem

[R B Garr]

70. This cracked me up on the front page here!

Great links, too.

[mackerel]

71. I read somewhere that Tom Cotton and Ted Cruz both graduated from Harvard.

So much for degrees from Harvard...

[Hugin]

74. The derp is strong with this one.

[El Shaman]

75. O.K. folks where's your humor -

it's just another 'cheeky' joke from ole Tommy.

[Spitfire of ATJ]

76. Washington has fallen to the Republicans.....

Canada should invade at once.

[Mike Nelson]

77. Tea Party!

They are so smart!

[olegramps]

82. He is an example of how intelligent people's intellect can be can be suffocated by radicalism.

Do extraordinarily intelligent people sometimes become so positive that they are they only ones who can correctly grasp the situation that they totally dismiss any challenge to their conclusions?

My brother, who is deceased, was rated in the very top percentage of intelligence. However, he very little if any regard for other people's opinions. It seems to me that some of these gifted people can become zealots who can not be deterred in their determination. I believe this is often the case in regard to religious zealots who are willing to justify any action to obtain their goal.

I watched a program in which very gifted children were in a contest to win a $100,000 scholarship. One boy, of amassing intelligence, totally disregarded all scientific evidence of evolution and maintained that the Bible was without error in regards to the creation of universe and mankind. He knew all the relevant facts of the theory of evolution and answered the relevant questions correctly with the stated caveat that he disregarded them as being incorrect. We have seen others in congress for example who have medical degrees make the same type of pronouncements. This incongruity is beyond my comprehension.

[happyslug]

83. In other news, the French CONTROL Paris, and the Germans are Marching in Berlin...

and the English are treating London like their own it. Lets not forget how the Italians was walking all through Rome. The GOP are clearly committed to STOP such actions, these people have to be taught to stay away from those cities of allies of the US.
