Ah yes, the great Republican minds have pondered the impondrables, thought the unthinkable, plumbed the botomless depths of their infinte insight and decided that Abu Ghraib was the fault of .... drumroll.... The Farrelly Brothers!

The images from Abu Ghraib, now irreversibly tattooed on the Arab brain, were every frat-house cliche magnified. The human pyramid, males mooning, masturbation, bags over heads. What we saw, at least in part, was "The Farrelly Brothers Do Baghdad."
How else to explain the giddy photographs of young soldiers mugging for cameras and giving the thumbs-up sign beside humiliated prisoners, naked and masturbating?
How else to exlain?! How fucking else to explain?!?! Its truly shocking the degree to which many Republicans are losing touch with reality. Jesse Taylor of panadgon said it best pherhaps...

And just so we can be clear (and expand the sample size) I've seen several farrelly brothers movies and I too have never raped anyone with a lightbuld...
Or we could blame it on aristophenes...
