Are we approaching a new merger of words? "Right wing" and "unhinged," as in "right-wing/unhinged" for example. Here are a couple of the latest absurdities:
1. Rick Scarborough, founder of the Tea Party Unity, said he wanted to enter a class action lawsuit "against homosexuality." O-O-K . . . . and whom should the sheriff serve with the papers in this lawsuit?
2. Glenn Beak said on air: "I am personally going to impeach the President of the United States." He said he would also impeach John McCain.
What's so whacko about both of the comments is the utter impossibility, completely unhinged from reality. How do you "sue homosexuality"? How does a private individual impeach the president? That's left up to Congress.
And that doesn't begin to address Sarah Palin's whacko ramble on Fox News that obviously left Megan Kelly perplexed. She wandered so far off into la-la land, reciting her grievances against President Obama and never even came close to addressing the question, which was to give her reaction to the GOP's drop in polls since the government shutdown. Instead she sounded like one of those old-fashioned talking dolls, where you pull the string, and a recorded voice spouts drivel.
The thing is, they don't even seem to know they're out to lunch -- but the American people, at large, do know it. Look at the polls, which Palin wouldn't even address. They're playing to a small, vehement base that loves this red-meat appetizer; but they can't deliver the meal. Just ask Ted Cruz.
