    two notions..

    Great post, as usual, Glenn..but two things occur to me as a result:

    1) what ELSE are these wingnuts supposed to do? If they acknowledge reality, they'd all have to find other lines of work. And that ain't gonna happen. So, they're doing what any unprincipled hack would do. They have no other choice.

    2) I'd like to support James Kunstler's new meme here: "the GOP is the Party the Wrecked America." "The GOP: The Party that Wrecked America." Use it often. Use it as often as possible. This is one meme we can inject into the zeitgeist with enough repetition. Even the most low-information voter can comprehend it. The evidence is right in front of them..everywhere.
