House Republicans' Constitutional Ignorance
Article discusses how Tea partiers seem to have no concept of the constitutional process by which a bill becomes law:

"Republicans in the House -- who seem to be stealing the logic of the Underpants Gnomes from South Park -- have come up with their own novel interpretation of the process:
(1.) Bill passes House.
(2.) ?
(3.) Bill becomes law."

1. I don't think your average Teabagger has any concept of the real world at all.

2. Great segment about this on MSNBC today.
At least, I think it was MSNBC. Basically pointing out that TeaBaggers have no concept, no knowledge about why the Constitution was set up the way it was...with 2-year/4-year/6-year terms. It was designed so that idiots like the TeaBaggers don't take over all three branches of government at the same time. That is why our system of government exists, to STOP crazies like the TeaBaggers, not to embolden them. Great, a few nutbags won a few elections in 2010. WTF? Does that mean the entire system has to be turned over to some illiterate, anti-intellectual extremists? I'm not buyin' it.

4. Well, they're ignorant in general.
I mean, just add "ignorance" to any word and it fits them perfectly.

House Repukes' Legal Ignorance

House Repukes' Biblical Ignorance

House Repukes' Science Ignorance

House Repukes' History Ignorance

Etc.

etc.

etc.
