The Gift That Keeps on Giving

oh, larry craig.... where have you been all my life?

our favorite closet case and republican destructive machine, senator craig (r-idaho) has not disappointed me once in eight days. the boy is back and he's ready for a fight.

much to the dismay of the GOP in congress (and a very befuddled mitch mcconnell), craig has made it clear that he just may not resign come september 30th.

now....i blame myself for not catching this, but craig did say it was his "intent" to resign at month's end. not that he would resign or that he is resigning....but that he intends to resign.

i guess it depends on what your definition of is is.....

it's kinda brilliant, really.... and it explains why he didn't immediately step down. and apparently, all of this has been egged on by ole rascally rabbit himself - arlen specter of pennsylvania. he went on the sunday talk shows and told craig he should fight for his job.

howard fineman has an interesting theory that this is specter's payback to the GOP brass for threatening his leadership position on the judiciary committee if he didn't play ball with all of their court nominees. i do love it when the repubs stick it to each other.

shit....the dems really just need to sit back and enjoy the show for the time being.

all of this, of course, depends on whether or not craig can get his guilty plea overturned in minnesota. and whether or not he can survive an embarrassing hearing in front of the senate's ethics committee.

whatever it is....i'm sure the republicans love having ole twinkle toes tap around the capitol building every day.

i wonder if they scatter when he enters the washroom.....?

GOP curse?

has anyone noticed what has happened in minneapolis lately? the republicans announce they're holding their national convention there in 2008. they will crown their nominee for the next president of the united states in minneapolis.

then the bridge collapses.....

then twinkle toes craig taps his way into infamy in the minneapolis-st. paul airport mensroom.

i think maybe the republicans are cursed.......

and just this morning.....representative paul gillmor (republican of ohio) was found dead in his d.c. apartment.

what is going on with the republican party?!?!

ya know, ole mitt "flip-flop" romney....i bet those days as a democratic governor of massachusetts are suddenly looking awfully sweet. are you sure you don't want to change your stance on reproductive rights just one more time......?

before it's too late.......
