God Appoints Lucifer Head of Religious Studies

No wait...that's not it, it's "The State Department will name [disgraced, lying, cheating, incompetent, war-pornographer and] former World Bank chief Paul Wolfowitz to head a high-level advisory panel on arms control and disarmament.

Just when you think your brain has been completely turned to mush, the sledgehammer comes down again and finds one tiny piece that can still feel the pulverizing.

The gross incompetence aside, and it's a voluminous aside, some really smart and informed people have serious questions about his girlfriend regarding national security.

"Send Wounded Soldiers to Baghdad" [Updtd]

If you're not already convinced that the Modern Republican party has been hijacked by a bunch of broken sociopaths who have lost even a trace of human decency and thoughtfulness, check this or this out.

"Let's replace these reluctant Nellies with America's finest citizens," he said in a statement. "Our wounded warriors will serve our country efficiently, effectively and with undying patriotism."

In an attempt to diss State Department employees for their wholly understandable resistance to being sent to Baghdad - against their will - Hunter suggests we send guys and gals already wounded in Iraq back to Iraq.

What a freaking genius.

It's not like they haven't done enough or anything. Or that State Department vets are resisting the postings because they've determined that there's not a damn thing they can do in the mess that is Baghdad except be wounded or killed, so sending already wounded soldiers there might just be freaking idiotic.

God. What is wrong with these people?
