No jokes, this is a tragedy.  Darcy Burner, the democrat nominee to the 8th District Congressional seat, lost her home to a fire this morning.

The Burner’s and their dog escaped injury, and their cat was lost.

As I said, this is every family’s nightmare.  To be woken up at 7am by your child telling you his room is on fire is an experience I am happy to avoid.  Thank God they did waken and escape.

Now the cause is under investigation, with rumours off a gas main blowing and a faulty light in the child’s room running forefront.

The fact it started in a child’s room might lead to other speculation, as it would not be the first time that a child has done something tragically stupid.

Hopefully not.

What I was curious about when I read this story this afternoon was how long it would take our local loony left to blame this on the republicans.

I didn’t have long to wait, nor was I the first to wonder.  Browsing to Horsesass.org, the local den of rabid liberals, and a stronghold of Burner Support, I was not disappointed.

Here are a couple examples from the comments:

Blue John spews:

It’s a sad world where I considered that it could be some sort of republican dirty trick. “Can’t win legitimately, so burn her house down and distract her, at the very least.”

ME spews:

No conspiracy needed… just a right-wing jerk with a gas can and a chip on his shoulder.

I’m sure there aren’t any of THOSE types around there.

My Left Foot spews:

By the way, just where was Reichert this morning??

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm mmm??

ByeByeGOP spews:

Which of the right wing fuckheads did this and will there be justice? I knew the righties would resort to this shit. It’s all they have - it’s all they can do. They can’t win with ideas so they try to win with intimidation! Come to my house bitches and you’ll find it tougher to burn down.

Ok, this guy is at best and out of touch divisive idiot who has completely lost touch with reality, commonsense and truth.  He is clueless, dim and laughable.

Why Nevada keeps electing him is a bona fide mystery.

Here he is bloviating how Coal makes us sick, in YouTube’s #1 video:

Now…in this video from last year, see Dennis Miller quite accurately dissect Harry Reid.

Poetry.  Pure poetry.
