Ah, the TSA, how useless they are

They'll stop a woman carrying a cupcake, but oops, the old lady with the loaded pistol? She got right by them AND ONTO THE PLANE.

1) Of course it happened in Texas.

2) Honestly, while she should be charged with a felony (convicted? less likely) everyone, AND THE ROCK MEANS EVERYONE working the TSA checkpoint she went through should be fired.

She needed secondary screening, but 'slipped by'. Okay, what the fuck? Secondary screening? "Oh yeah, that's a gun. Good thing I had that shift manager training to recognize it."

I take it back, the lady shouldn't be charged with a felony. And those TSA fuckwits should still be fired.

Newt Gingrich: The asshole crisis continues

Gingrich thinks it would be neat-o if Perry and Santorum dropped out before the South Carolina primary.

Okay, chief, let's look at a few things.

1) Yes, Perry is pretty much sucking hind teat here, and he's not horribly likely to have a huge showing in South Carolina. He came in a few points behind Gingrich in Iowa and DEAD. FUCKING. LAST. in New Hampshire. (Well, among the candidates who are actually getting invited to the debates.)

2) Santorum, on the other hand, came in a very close second in Iowa (well ahead of Gingrich), and just barely ahead of Gingrich in New Hampshire. The polls have Santorum coming in third in South Carolina, behind Mitt Romney and Gingrich.

The only reason that Gingrich wants these two to drop out is so the voters can solidify behind him as the not-Romney candidate. (Which, as we know, is the most important reason to vote for Newt. Because every other reason to vote for Newt is tied for last.)

Conclusion: Yeah, fuck you, Newt. If Perry was going to drop out, he'd have done it before Huntsman, and Santorum has no reason to drop out of the race at this point. Plus, Gingrich is horribly presumptuous in assuming that everyone who would vote for Perry or Santorum would switch over to him, because he's the model of sweetness and ethics and OH GOD WHAT A COCKWART.

Na na na na, na na na na

hey hey hey, good bye.

You won't be missed, Rick Perry. But at least now, you can go back home to Texas, and continue fucking up that state.
