What year is this, again?

Oh dear god. Dick Armey on MSNBC just countered Joan Walsh's clear, well-delivered statement about how Republicans are standing in the way of repairing the economy and spending their time trying to make up with Rush Limbaugh instead of working with Obama, with a comment how he's glad he's not married to her and has to listen to her prattle every day. The look on her face was PRICELESS and completely justified.

AND he was laughing at her the whole time. Classy. Good PR for your flailing party, Dick!

ETA: There's a link to the video of this, if you want to watch the train wreck.

(I dunno - maybe this happened because Elizabeth Swann didn't get to run off with Jack Sparrow in a movie. That's a slippery slope - one minute a fictional female makes a little bit of imagined sacrifice, the next, we're all in Armey's Handmaid's Tale ...)

If the Republicans ain't careful, Obama is going to open his can of Whoop-Ass on 'em. The guy might speak in a halting manner, but he's a lot like Cap'n Kirk when you get him riled up I imagine. By then he'll turn all Cap'n Picard on 'em and talk 'em in to compromising.

Yeah, should be an entertaining 4 years at least.

There's entertaining, then there's frustrating. I have a feeling the former isn't going to last long for me.
