I feel my ankles have been gummed/ Something wingnut this way comes...
Apparently this post has dismayed the Cayuga Cretin. (After the jump, by the way, I discuss a detailed plan for holding William Jacobsen in suspense.)
The fear that conservatives would point out the obvious about this terrorist attack seemed to be a common first reaction:
"[The attack] means Greater Wingnuttia is going to get the very special happy Christmas they most desire, because what they like best of all is to wet their pants in an ecstasy of hysterical screeching .... "
Hmm. I'm going to take this person's post as comical evidence for my point: wingnuts love this terrorism shit. It makes them feel important. It makes them feel Big. Gives them a stiffie.
Because, basically, what we learn from the Cayuga Cretin is that Pete Hoekstra, who is less like a mental patient who's escaped an asylum than he is a mental patient who quite likes the asylum he's found himself in, is furious at the Obama administration over the underpants bomber thing because Obama refused to man up and invade Yemen sometime last February. Think Progress, Steve Benen, and Alan Colmes called Hoekstra an idiot, which is dumb. John Cole called Peter King an idiot but apparently King counts the same as Hoekstra (I can accept that, actually; shitheads of a feather, and all that). Also I said something about wingnuts getting off on this terrorism shit, and that showed up on Memeorandum, so what the hell, William Jacobsen linked it.
So, gosh, I sure am wrong that the exploding underpants thing might make imbeciles like Jacobsen furiously & excitedly straddle & whip their inane ideological hobbyhorses. Silly me!
