When The Right Wing Eats Its Own

As there is a war for the soul of the Republican Party, there was a kind of inevitability to the civil war now raging in the right-wing blogosphere. And a relief, albeit a temporary one, that the name calling is being directed inward and not the rest of us.

I'm having a little trouble ascertaining what this is all about, but I think it may have to do with penis size.

Meanwhile, the Party of Beavis and Butthead has suffered a defeat in New York's 20th Congressional District where Democrat Scott Murphy had expanded his lead over James Tedisco in a recount and the Republican had the good sense and grace to concede.

Note that the 20th was gerrymandered to give Republicans a 70,000 voter edge, but in a special election advertised as a referendum on Barack Obama's economic policies that wasn't enough for the Republican.
