Always the case with right-wingers. They pull some political dirty trick, or do something illegal, or say something offensive -- and then if they suffer the predictable and appropriate consequences (and they usually don't) -- they claim that they are the true victims. Personal responsibility never seems to apply to them.

Cheer up, Karen. I'm sure there's a cushy job at the Heritage Foundation and a steady gig at Faux News if you want it.
