Jon Voight, speaking at Michele Bachmann‘s Whites-of-their-eyes Kill-the-bill rally yesterday:

His only success in his one-year term as president is taking America apart, piece by piece. Could it be he has had 20 years of subconscious programming by Rev. Wright to damn America?

Don’t blame Voight, though, for the nonsense he emits. We have it on good authority that one day, many years ago, while Voight had his head lodged deep in his ass, he accidentally passed his peanut-sized brain.

With this post, we also introduce two new categories: “The Dick Army” and “Full of Sound and Fury”.

“The Dick Army” is a collective noun for tea-baggers, birthers, tenthers, and their ilk; in short, all the Indians whose chiefs are Beck and Limbaugh and Palin and Bachmann. And Dick Armey. The term was coined, of course, by MSNBC‘s David Schuster back in April, when he was subbing for Keith Olbermann one night. Watch as he goes “… if you are planning simultaneous tea bagging all around the country, you’re going to need a dick army” on national TV.

“Full of Sound and Fury” is a bipartisan category. (The operative part being the next two words in the quote which, since brevity is the soul of wit, we left out: “signifying nothing”.) It automatically applies to any pronouncements by footsoldiers in The Dick Army, or by any of its many generals (Q: What do you call a general in The Dick Army? A: Dick-head.). It will also often apply to pronouncements of the Obama administration (e.g., when they keep making promises to the LGBT community). Or the pronouncements of political transvestites (“Ladies and Gentlemen, we give you Joe Lieberman!”)
