The Republican Party takes another step down the long, shadowy back-woods trail to the land of bat-shit crazy. New Jersey Governor and apparent doughnut enthusiast Chris Christie has been the darling of the conservative side of the aisle since his election. There's even been talk of him running for President in 2012. Well, there was until Christie committed the cardinal Republican sin of liking a brown skinned dude.
While Republican politicians have a long history of liking brown skinned dudes, their traditional method of doing so involves a mildew stained motel room, a bottle of cheap tequila and a fully shaved, seventeen-year-old boy named Raoul.
Christie seems to have fucked up this long beloved GOP practice by actually appointing his brown skinned dude to the position of judge instead of simply taking him forcibly from behind on a soiled mattress and leaving twenty dollars on the bedside table.
Conservative commentator and former Bush aide Karl Rove was quoted on his Fox News as saying, "NOT LIKE THAT, YOU IDIOT! LIKE THIS! LIKE THIS!" Rove then proceeded to forcefully ram his half-hard member into the not entirely willing mouth of Paolo, a young Nicaraguan man in handcuffs kneeling before him on the studio floor. Paolo's eye's slowly began to well with tears as he tried to accommodate the former Bushie organ as it ground painfully against the back of his throat. Oh well, thought Paolo, at least his new Yankee trick paid better than the cartel cowboys in his home country.
What is it about Christie liking a brown skinned dude in an official, non-exploitative capacity that has the rest of the GOP in such an up roar?
This time the brown skinned dude in question is Sohail Mohammed, an Indian born Muslim. This seems to have pissed off some Conservatives, because, according to them, we're still not supposed to like people with names like Mohammed. And we're certainly not supposed to appoint them to be judges. To make matters worse for Christie, Mohammed is a man who has been working around the clock for years, in his capacity as a New Jersey lawyer, to bring the mainstream Muslim community into the fold of mainstream American society during a political climate where this is the least popular thing he could possibly do. So, from a non-racist, common sense perspective, Christie didn't just appoint a Muslim, he appointed a damn hero lawyer who happens to be Muslim. What was he thinking?
From Foolocracy;
"He [Mohammed] received credit for bringing trust and understanding between the Muslim community and law enforcement after 9/11. In the past, he has sought to bring the Muslim community deeper into integration with American society, including the organization of a law enforcement job fair at a mosque. Mohammed has also trained FBI agents about Islam and its culture. He also has been named a Super Lawyer in New Jersey every year since 2006. Super Lawyers are chosen by their peers and through independent research."
Hear that? Super Lawyer. I didn't make that up. No matter how you want to cut it Sohail Mohammed is one of the good guys. But, he's a Muslim. And now the GOP is willing to throw one of it's own under the bus for associating with him.
Remember back when they arrested that IT guy because he worked in the same office as a guy who had a cousin who might be in Al Qaeda and then shipped him off to another country to be tortured for several months? That shit was crazy right. Well, the guys who did that are still around, some are still in office and, in their minds, the rule of guilt by association applies absolutely.
Now the question is, should the sane among us feel better or worse knowing that even Republicans aren't immune to the retribution of the bat-shit insane?
