Apparently the above clip has been doing the Facebook rounds, as Barney Frank invokes the eternal question which will remain the ultimate mystery - on which planet do extreme right wingers spend most of their time? Perhaps only scientology can provide the answer, but will we ever learn if it's true that thetans come from a landing station on the planet Venus?
(Though of course you have to accept that Xenu, dictator of the Galactic confederacy did bring billions of his people to earth 75 millions of years ago, stacked them around volcanoes and killed them using hydrogen bombs, hence explaining why right wingers are very disturbed today).
While on the subject of breaking Godwin's Law - the latest rant about it being Brendan O'Neill's Playing the Nazi card is vile and pathetic, but hardly illegal - in The Australian, is it too late to add "death panels" to the evocative panoply of implicit Nazi references?
Tim Blair has been making hay for days out of Sarah Palin's phrase, chortling away like a ten year old as he scampers about in his bid to win the News Corp award for 'could do better' in the matter of climate change.
Which is why when you look at Blair you suddenly feel as if you've been involved in a discussion with a dining room table.
Meantime, the willingness of right wingers to evoke Hitler in America grows apace. Mel Brooks clearly got it right in The Producers. It's spring time in Germany for Republicans.
(Below: a woman at a Las Vegas forum shouts Heil Hitler to an Israeli Jew who supports health care reform).
