Wow. Republicans are set to pass a resolution to rename the Democratic Party the “Democrat Socialist Party.” Seriously. Since we are now unilaterally renaming other parties, can the Democrats rename the Republican Party the “Whining Dumbass Party”?

Michael Steele, in an uncharacteristic bout of non-idiocy, is actually against the resolution:

Steele wrote a memo last month opposing the resolution. Steele said that while he believes Democrats “are indeed marching America toward European-style socialism,” he also said in a (rare) flash of insight that officially referring to them as the Democrat Socialist Party “will accomplish little than to give the media and our opponents the opportunity to mischaracterize Republicans.”

Maybe I am unclear on the language, but if Republicans act like whining dumbasses and the Democrats point this out, then how exactly is this “mischaracterizing” them?

On a side note, it is good to see that the Republicans are continuing their drive to generate new ideas to solve the nation’s many problems.
