I do hope the DNC-DSCC-DCCC political ad-makers have their act together, because they are being presented a truckload of amazing material. Just in the last 24 hours we have a Republican U.S. Senator dissing the unemployed and three top conservative media personalities mocking the uninsured.

Ed Kilgore wrote earlier about Republican Sen. Jim Bunning screaming 'tough shit" in response to an appeal for compassion for the jobless. Bunning is not running for re-election, due to his inept fund-raising skills, but he nonetheless makes an excellent poster boy for 'GOP Obstructionist of the Week,' although his fellow Kentuckian, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConell is always a finalist.

Now we got GOP media superstars Glenn Beck, Rush Limbaugh and Laura Ingraham making merriment from the hardships of people who can't afford health insurance. Here's a little bite from Media Matters for America's story, "Let them eat applesauce: Right-wing media mock the uninsured":

...The O'Reilly Factor, radio host Laura Ingraham said she "liked the dueling sob stories, OK? One Democrat was trying to outdo the next on the sob story about how rotten our health care system is. Louise Slaughter won the Olympics of sob stories by saying one of her constituents had to wear her sister's dentures. OK? It got so bad with the health care system." She later added, "You had Harry Reid on the cleft palate with his -- I mean, the whole thing was ridiculous."

If Ingraham was trying to replace Ann Coulter as the new Marie Antoinette of the Republican party, she may have pulled it off. The article also quotes Limbaugh, ""What's wrong with using a dead person's teeth? Aren't the Democrats big into recycling?" and Beck's "I've read the Constitution before. I didn't see that you had a right to teeth." The article quotes other conservative media personalities in a similar vein.

It seems that the tea party movement has emboldened Republicans to more venomously articulate their contempt for the poor and disadvantaged. The cameras are rolling, and one hopes the Democratic ad-makers are collecting the product.
