By SnifflesSo Joe Scarborough is scolding the right wing for its insane focus on President Obama's birth certificate, his alleged "racism," his supposed socialist conspiracy to take over America, and his alarming czars.
Which means that Joe is taking his own Republican Party to task as well — for coddling the nutbags, and for keeping silent as they rage.
"Indoctrination of socialism? The President as a racist? Death panels? Seriously? That's all you've got? If so, it's time for you to go home," he Tweets. "I'm just naive enough to believe that a party that shows restraint at home, restraint abroad and respect for the Constitution wins elections. Perhaps that party doesn't exist."
We cats appreciate Joe's sentiments, but what immediately caught our eye was his choice of Twitter art: Delacroix's "La Liberte Guidant Le Peuple" — "Liberty Leading the People."
We happen to love this painting, which hangs in the Louvre. But we also note (as we always have, to no great consternation) that Liberty is, ahem, topless.
Goodness! The right wing fundamentalists in Joe's party won't like that!
