The icon was once a joke, based on a line in an internal Canadian Party memo that got leaked. Now, I'm not so sure it isn't indicative of just how low Republican state Govs & Senators have sunk.

Bad enough Walker's cronies probably-illegally rammed through their "nonfiscal" union-busting bill after the Capital was declared closed here in Wisconsin.

But now Missouri's Senator Cunningham wants to eliminate child labor laws?!?

I'm beginning to think pir8fancier is right, and the Repubs are handing Obama the election in 2012. If the Public's memory lasts that long in states that aren't engaged in open political warfare for the next 20 months.
