Moonbats at Midnight
Some conservative pundits are acting even more bizarrely than usual, which is to say that they are meeting my expectations of them. Rush Limbaugh out-and-out admitted that he was lying to his audience about the Republican candidates (Olbermann video here), and that in fact, he hated the Republicans he was supporting (he calls what he did “support”?), but that he lied to everyone because “the stakes were high.”
Meanwhile, Jonah Goldberg wrote a concise narrative on what Bush should do. The final scene: Bush stands in front of the press corps dressed in nothing but a loincloth, his face bloody and his torso bearing the claw marks off a bear he just killed, as he throws the bear skin over Helen Thomas. And, no, I am not making that up.
Ann Coulter, meanwhile, shows no change from normal as she criticizes the Democrats for not assailing the Diebold company after their “paltry” win. Apparently, she’s not paying attention to what we’re saying, though she never does anyway. She then uses the “sixth year” of Lyndon Johnson and Gerald Ford’s tenures to show how the pickups by the Democratic Party were “the death throes of a dying party.” Seriously, you can’t make stuff like this up.
Michelle Malkin backs up Coulter’s assertion that just because the Democrats won control of both houses, that means Democrats don’t think that Diebold machines are objectionable. What neither she nor co-moonbat Coulter realize is that Democratic candidates won these races despite all the election fraud, not because of it. What, they actually believe that Diebold machines are solid and unimpeachable, or somehow actually helped the Democrats this year? Yeah, right.
Among most conservatives, however, the party line is that Republicans deserved to be taken out to the woodshed and maybe this will beat some sense into them, that this is cathartic and will be a rebuilding term for them, while the Democrats really didn’t win, they just benefitted from the Republicans’ loss. Not entirely inaccurate, but it’s also not much more than the best attempt to put a shine on the turd Republicans laid this year.
What I basically said in the next post, (which I read and saw first) is that I hope the Republican wingnuts continue to act like this.
Coulter and company think that, perhaps the Republicans weren’t moonbat enough. Fine. Let them think that.
I hope, as a reaction to their defeat in the midterms, that they get even more extreme and more outrageous. I hope they think that’s what America wants.
Its not as if they are digging their own grave, its that they can’t dig fast enough and deep enough for me. Give them a good old fashion steam shovel and let them rip away.
The dems are no longer in immediate danger of falling into the trap of the abyss that the republicans had planned for them, but the republicans have yet to realize, the trap they built, is still there, and while the Democrats have developed enough muscle, discipline and temperance to avoid falling into that trap, the republicans haven’t. There’s a reasonable possibility that they’ll fall into the trap they built for the Dems. So, I say, keep digging, and if they start to wain, then maybe egg them on a little bit.
Defeat hasn’t quite hit them yet, as they still have the presidency and both houses for another fortnight. I hope they continue to act with arrogance for another two years.
