A few days ago, Leo Morris over at Opening Arguments predicted that the blogosphere was going to beat the daylights out of Mike Pence over his remark that shopping in Baghdad was like a “normal outdoor market in Indiana in the summertime.” He was right. Even though I agree that Hoosiers can get a bit crotchety in the summer with their energies no longer diverted toward basketball, the farmer’s market in downtown Lafayette doesn’t suffer from all that many IEDs.
In any event, the most complete evisceration of Mike Pence over this asinine comment comes from Glenn Greenwald. Most effective is his use of Pence’s greatest hits, such as:
Don’t forget his awesome idea to publish unvetted, untranslated captured Iraqi documents on the internet so rightwing bloggers and scholars could help find additional justifications for the war.
And this guy wants to be president; he makes Quayle look like a genius.
