Even the biggest moonbat can’t wrap their arms around that

Wanna bet?

I'm trying to read your post, but I had trouble reading the title. Could you parse it for me? From what I know, "the" something means singular (in this case, it presumably refers to one (1) moonbat). On the otehr hand "their" refers to several (ie, a bunch of moonbats, more specifically, $n>1$ moonbats).

So, now, Herr Rot, let's recap -- you posit the following system of (linear) equalities/inequalities in your title

(1) n=1
(2) n>1

How can one simultaneously solve for n in (1) and (2)? According to my own (admittedly simplistic) reasoning, this system has no solutions. In which case, what does your title refer to?

If you cannot solve the above system for some positive integer n (I will even be generous and allow arbitrary integers, or even real numbers to make it perhaps easier for you), then, ipso facto (if you dig my Latin) I think you owe me a jeroboam of la Veuve.

Reading alon now, second paragraph:

During the campaign, Brown repeatedly railed against criminal trials for terrorism suspects, took out a television ad opposing giving “rights to terrorists who want to harm us” and declared that he did not view water-boarding as torture. And in his nationally televised victory speech Tuesday night, the senator-elect seized on the issue again.

I thought that, according to Herr Rot, Scotty Brown never mentioned terrorists, how to catch them (or kill the dead), how to interrogate them once caught, or how to prosecute them during the campaign, and only started broaching the subject -- mirabile dictu -- in his acceptance speech. I tried to shoot down this Rotten conjecture, but I don't know what the outcome was -- at least, I didn't see a VCP materializing on my tab. Now even moonbats say the same thing as me -- namely, that not only did Brown talk about this during the campaign, but that he talked "repeatedly" about it (indeed, it was the second or third most important topic on which he ran, after health care/economy/taxes).

Inescapable conclusion: one more VCP on the tab. Make it a Brut millésimé.

On the issue of dealing with accused terrorists, for whom would you vote for U.S. Senate if you knew that Scott Brown believes that accused terrorists should be treated as enemy combatants and face military justice [and] Martha Coakley believes that accused terrorists should be provided constitutional rights and tried in civilian courts?” the Brown camp’s poll asked. Respondents split 61% to 29% in Brown’s favor, Newhouse said.

Wow. And that's in Massachusettes (spelled the Pepean way). What do they say in Peoria?

As liberal a bastion as we are, I think people take umbrage, whether you are left or right, at Khalid Sheikh Mohammed laughing his head off in a taxpayer-funded cell at a billion dollars a year. Even the biggest moonbat can’t wrap their arms around that,” McPhee said.

Hmmm... I now see you were quoting ad-literam this McPhee. But then why not throw a [sic] at him? You still owe me a VCP, but OK, I'll allow for some extenuating circumstances, and downgrade from a jeroboam to a mere (standard) bottle.

Did you notice that the title is in italics? What's that usually mean?

Hint: Look above.

Nah, a [sic] would distract from the beautiful awkwardness of the sentence. Sometimes the highest art is accidental and not grammatical.

Incidentally you owe me the VCP.

Sic, being in Latin, should always be italicized when used in English.

Sucks to be Tecs sometimes. Like now.

Are you siccing the platypi of war on me?

Is a "platypus" a flat cat?

Or a flatcon?
