What happened to Iowa Sen. Grassley with the "go commit suicide" comment?

[bridgit]

Are republicans so taken aback by the outrage of Americans they've helped to create, they're now trying to parley their way back into some sense of what they think are our good graces? Wouldn't - fall on their swords - have been enough prose & poetry?

republicans are looking & sounding more stupid & deranged by the day, by the hour, by the minute. Will we have to at some point gather them round at their shoulders and say, "There, there, little thinkers; don't worry" and sit them down at a table full of creamed corn? republicans are becoming an embarrassment

The man has never been accused of being brilliant, but he's certainly never at a loss for rhetorical flourishes.....
