Yet another liberal that just doesn't get it...
The Great Neo-ConNow that you have a guy who could actually win, you don’t want him.You conservatives make me laugh.
Here you have a war hero taking control of your party — a real one, not like our guy last time, what was his name, you know, “Mr. Sixteen Weeks†— and you’re acting like he’s some weird combination of William Howard Taft and Leon Trotsky. Sure, he’s a little nutty after all those years getting his bones re-broken every six months at the Hanoi Hilton, and his hand more or less grazed the cookie jar during the Keating Five scandal, but compared to Mrs. Kazakhstan and the guy who has Tony Rezko for a slumlord, he’s as clean as a freshly wiped baby’s bottom.
What we like about McCain, of course, is that he’s not really one of you. He’s for more Mexicans, higher taxes, leaving the nuclear option on the table when dealing with the Arabs but taking it off the table when dealing with the Senate Judiciary Committee. He’s flanked by his flunky Lindsey on one side and that Jewish guy who, somebody told me, ran for vice president on our ticket eight years ago. (Is that true?)
But what choice do you have? It’s amazing how the scales have suddenly fallen from our eyes. For years, we’ve been prisoners of both the Clinton Myth, that only the Restoration of Mr. Bill could save us from the evil Bush-Cheney Rethuglicans; and of Bush Derangement Syndrome, which has as its central tenet the fact that all evil in the world can be laid at Bush’s feet.
So if Rush is right, and Mother of Mercy this really is the end of Rico the Conservative, we here in Hollywood agree with Daniel Craig: After all, you’ve managed to parlay two presidential elections into the loss of both houses of Congress, a cratering stock market, a real-estate meltdown, and a looming recession. And now that you have a guy who could actually win, you don’t want him.
It’s all so bleepin’ hysterical.
