Irony Alert. GOP Congress Critter Upset Over Use of Common, Hackneyed, Clichéd Rhetorical Line . . .

but only when accurately used against him. Go Here.

I want to give some props to Connie Mack for realizing that rhetoric can distort the debate in unproductive ways. (And that we as a society have reached a dangerous level of critical Mass with the raw tonnage of bullshit piling up and being flung around.)

But fuck a lame duck? Stabbed in the back? What's next? Being upset over the use of "Raining cats and dogs?"

But we all know Rep. Mack was not defending productive civil discourse from the corrosive effect of bullshit. He was miffed that he was being accurately even if rhetorically characterized for being the nasty little fucktard he is. So he doesn't get a star. Shit, he doesn't even get a half-star.
