Signs of the Coming Republican Apocalypse
Asshattery, F*ck the Republicans!!!, Political Smackdown 2008!!!, The Keith Olbermann Files, Wingnutteria May 16th, 2008
Let’s see: first the Repubs lose supposedly safe Congressional districts in Illinois, Louisiana, and Mississippi (well done, Rush….so much for Operation Chaos!!). OK, so the winners are mostly conservative Democrats, but in districts which averaged 55-60% majorities for Dubya, it’s still a bombshell.
Then…..Dubya decides to use the anniversary of Israel’s founding to attempt to smack down Barack Obama as the second coming of Neville Chamberlain playing “appeasement” to the modern-day “Nazis” called Hamas. And McCain decides to join in on the fun with his own slam. Which only results in doing what not even the Democratic Party appratus couldn’t do for all of three months: unite Obama and Hillary and Howard Dean and John Kerry and even Joe Biden (who called it “bullshit”) together in universal outrage.
And to make things so much better, the Repubs send a dimwit wingnutter to attempt to sell this “Obama = Chamberlain” meme on Chris Matthews’ Hardball…which only gets him smacked down hard by the host. And considering Tweety’s….ummmm, respect for McCain, you gotta go pretty low to earn that.

The moral: don’t come to a gunfight with only the same old Hannity talking points…and read a history book or five.
“But…but..butbutbutbutbut….we’re talking about APPEASEMENT!!!!!!” Yeah, right.
And finally….you have Keith Olbermann, once again applying the whupass to Dubya for his latest inanity of an interview; including the unfortunate quib about how our President-Select is more than willing to sacrifice his golf game for the solidarity of the troops dying for his wars. Even after their 17th tour of duty.

Actually, I’d rather that Dubya NOT “shut the hell up”…the more he opens his piehole, the better the chance that his party gets rolled flatter than a pancake come November. At this rate, even Walter Mondale might be cracking a smile.
