The 10th blogiversary fundraiser continues with the Hope and Change year of 2008.
By October, 2008, as John McCain's doom closed in all around him and the coolant level of the GOP Pretty Hate Machine evaporated to the point where even non-Dirty Hippies could clearly see the madness, paranoia and racism that had always been at the heart of modern Republican Party the "respectable" members of the Conservative brains caste began to freak out.
David Brooks was shocked! shocked! to find that his Republican Party was full of...Republicans!
Kathleen Parker was horrified to learn that her Republican Party was full of...Republicans.
The year began on the Left with a brutal, necessary 15-round fight for the Democratic nomination.
On the Right, as the election neared and John McCain's doom became obvious, the world began to fill up with smell of hastily-burned "Bush/Cheney '04" lawn signs and newly minted "independents", the outlines of a new, Conservative "Let's All Pretend We Never Heard Of George Bush" strategy began to take shape, Both Siderism metastasized, and the fight over who gets to be a "Real Conservative" began.

Watching the Defectives
(Sorry, Elvis; had to do it.)
As we pick our way through the landscape of rubble, failure and debt that 30 years of Conservatism has left in it wake -- pushing our brooms and shaking our heads -- it is important to keep our sense of humor. And I gotta tell you, other than, say, Bill Kristol cranked to the gills on X trying desperately to lick peanut butter off of Bill O’Reilly’s bald spot, there is nothing funnier than watching a recently apostatizedConservative“independent” who Suddenly!Discovers! his Party is being run by degenerate lunatics going completely “Mercy land-sakes alive, where did alla these bah-barians evah come from!” apostal ™ .One suchConservative“independent” is Larry Gellman, who was brought to my attention by his fellow-traveling Apostlican ™, Andrew Sullivan.Oh my, but theirs is quite the six-hanky tale of woe my friends.Larry is all a-weep and bewildered, having discovered that his beautiful, sunlitConservative“independent” Eloi Randite split-level, Rancho del Utopia was sitting atop terrible machineries operated by , bitey, Conservative Morlock freaks
