Reince Priebus calls cease fire on caterpillars ... War on Women? It's on!

by Joan McCarter

When you're a Republican and are massively losing on an issue, rule number one: attack the media. That's precisely what Republican National Committee Chair Reince Priebus is doing, trying to change the subject from his party's relentless war on women to the media.

“If the Democrats said we had a war on caterpillars and every mainstream media outlet talked about the fact that Republicans have a war on caterpillars, then we’d have problems with caterpillars,” Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus said in an interview on Bloomberg Television’s “Political Capital with Al Hunt” airing this weekend. “It’s a fiction.”

Let's see. Multiple votes to shut down Planned Parenthood. Forced transvaginal ultrasounds. Immaculate conception in Arizona. The Blunt amendment. Texas taking health care away from 130,000 women. The Ryan-Romney budget.

All made up by the media. Maybe we can talk about the war on caterpillars when they try to force them to have transvaginal ultrasounds.

1. Power of the media

He is telling us how powerful the media is.

And lamenting that for some strange reason the media is not favoring the republicans at this time.

2. He's

comparing women to caterpillars!

That should make up for the war on women.

What a moron.

[gratuitous]

4. Women, caterpillars, what's the diff? Right?

And those gals just don't grasp how fervently the Republicans appreciate their votes! It's a puzzlement to poor Reince, who can't understand why women don't vote Republican.

Keep talking, Republicans. Keep this issue alive. It's getting so obvious where the lines are drawn that even the popular media can't cover for you, and they're usually so reliable.

7. Let's not be too harsh

When you are down in such a deep hole as the republican party chair is...
and you are creeping and crawling along trying to find your way up ...
caterpillars seem like monsters.

Have some empathy... Republicans are humans, too.

3. I don't think anyone would win a war against caterpillars

10. I was gonna say - he needs to define "caterpillar" better.

5. Rancid Peenus

is a dumbshit of the first order.

8. It's an open question whether he is involved in Walkergate

As he was head of the WIGOP it's hard to believe that he wasn't a party to illegal communication on government time.

6. A DK commentator made a brilliant discovery

Take the vowels from his name and you end up with this: Reince Priebus = RNC PR BS

9. That 18-point Gender Gap in the Gallup Poll

has the Republicans nervous as hell. If that gap and the Latino vote gap hold, the Dems may be back in total control of the government.

[ProfessionalLeftist]

11. Does he think that people don't know the difference...

...between Congress/ALEC and the media? Ohhh, I think they do.

[Old and In the Way]

12. Keep digging that hole Reince!

This Party is getting smaller, meaner, and dumber in real time.
