  • Republicans are headed for the hills

    And away from Capitol Hill. Just look at all of the Republican congresscreeps who have announced their retirements over the past few months. It's clear they know they can't get reelected, and the longer they stick around the more likely they are to end up indicted - or worse. Time to re-enter the "private sector", where they can call in all the favors they've done for well-connected corporate cronies at places like Halliburton.

    I don't think there's any amount of gay marriage, Iranian terrist' fearmongering that'll get them back into control of Congress in 2008. Not so long as nutcase Republican closetcases like Larry Craig continue to make headlines. And they're poisoning the future of their party in the process, since most Americans under the age of 30 find the Republicans' obsessive homophobia repulsive. They're going to pay at the ballot box for this stupidity for decades.

    Couldn't happen to a weirder bunch of freaks.
