Remember the hand-wringing when Barack Obama wore a tan suit or tossed a football in the Oval Office?
Yet even as the current occupant of the White House continues to find new and shocking ways to defile his office, congressional Republicans have only lashed themselves more tightly to him. The examples come so fast that its easy to forget that the last one happened just four days ago, or just this morning.
As part of our continuing effort to resist the exhausting and numbing effects of living under a relentlessly abusive and degrading president, we present, for the third time in nine months, an updated guide to what Republicans now consider to be acceptable behavior from the commander in chief.

One tends to forget the overwhelming the awfulness of Twitler. It seems everyday he seems to get more abhorrent

...as I read thru that exhaustive and exhausting list -
- Charging the Secret Service to stay at your own damn hotels in order to do their job of protecting your worthless ass.
(If I were in the Secret Sevice, I would have had to quit. No way I would risk a sprained ankle for Cadet Bonespurs, let alone my life.)

that these actions highlighted in the constantly updated 'Repub.'s guide to pres. etiquette' will come back to bite them (the repugs) many times over...
