WTF Is It Now?!?

Suddenly righteous republicants
Eat me.

Rep. Patrick "Dur?" McHenry (R-Cornhole) has demanded that the new Democratic majority give the Republican minority all the rights that Republicans had denied Democrats for years.

"The bill we offer today, the minority bill of rights, is crafted based on the exact text that then-Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi submitted in 2004 to then-Speaker of the House Dennis Hastert," declared the unbelievably irony-deficient douchetard, with 10 republican colleagues arrayed around him like flies on shit. "We're submitting this minority bill of rights, which will ensure that all sides are protected, that fairness and openness is in fact granted by the new majority."

Omitted from McHenry's plea for fairness was the fact that the GOP had ignored Pelosi's 2004 request.

It fell to CNN's Dana Bash to point out the awkward truth. "You can play back, almost verbatim, Democrats saying almost exactly what you all just said," she said. "So is there a little bit of hypocrisy in you saying that you want minority rights?"

"What stopped you from taking that opportunity when you were still in the majority?" inquired Rick Klein of the Boston Globe.

Republicans must have known they'd have some explaining to do, because they scheduled back-to-back news conferences on their minority rights.

You have GOT to be kidding me.
