'Republicans' first, 'Puppet Show' second...”

Sweet, but exactly how is that any different than '08, '04, '00, '96, '92...

I wonder if Michelle Bachmann will repeat her "Hoot Smalley" history lecture. And have it recorded in Dobly.

A friend of mine lamented the marginalization of the GOP, as he felt it would be the death of any true opposition party in this country.

I had to point out to him that 1) Dems do a fine job of being their own opposition party, 2) once the GOP stops being the party of paint-drinking lunatics I might consider them for the role again, but not before, and 3) the GOP might be down, but they are by no means out. They have the backing of the moneyed interests and there are some devious bastards among their ranks. And they will get help from backstabbing Dems eager to prove their bipartisan chops.

I just hope we can get some progress made before they get their game on again.

Love it.

"Newt Gingrich on the bass! He wrote this! Actually, it's an old Joe McCarthy tune!"

The crazy and evil do go up to 11. Or, to go to another line:

"There's such a thin line between clever and stupid."

Of course you put the Republicans on first, as the opening act. Otherwise people will just watch the puppets, then go home. The popcorn and candy franchise won't make any money.

And didn't Hoot Smawley play gut-bucket (aka washtub bass, aka laundrophone) in an old-timey jug band? That was a terrific act that nobody ever walked out on.

So are we talking sock puppets or the vastly more entertaining cock puppets?
