    More proof...

    ...that the Repugnant Party has been completely hijacked by a slavish devotion to an anti-union, pro-CEO, small government, take care of the big donors while screwing the little guy ideology.

    I mean, after a thundering beat-down in the general election, the embarrassment of the circular firing squad taking place in the right wing media thanks to barely-coherent types like Limbaugh, Malkin, the wackos behind the "produce a birth certificate now or vacate the office" conspiracy lunacy, and the ongoing belly laugh that is Sarah Palin...after all that, don't you think the GOP leaders would be saying, "Hey, maybe this has all been a repudiation of what we stand for and how we conduct our affairs in the public forum. Perhaps we'd better reinvent our party."?

    Apparently not. Apparently, the Republitards would rather settle scores and spew more rage. Well, guys who are hoping for a reversal of fortune in 2010, America is watching. Rahm Emanuel is keeping score. You think anybody's going to forget who dropped a turd into the pool when one of the country's biggest employers was about to take down one million jobs, all while you were throwing cash bouquets to AIG and Citigroup?

    Keep digging, GOP. Two more years of shoveling and you might just reach Hell, where you can join Jerry Falwell and Dick Cheney, aka Satan.
