How true.

They managed, under Reagan, to run up more debt than all the presidents before him.

How could they top that?

By having Bush run up more debt that all the presidents before him.

Now, since that includes Reagan, think how scary that is.

Enough with the memes.

EVERYTIME you hear that tired old refrain about how the Republicans are the better “National Security party”, state Walter Reed, Bullet proof vests and HUMVEE armor.

Everytime you hear them call themselves the party of fiscal management, state you need to excuse yourself, you are about to wet your pants in abject laughter.

We have the opportunity to reduce this criminal organization called the Republican Party to the fate of the Communist Party in the old USSR: A 100 or so old farts marching around outside the White House, moaning about “the good ol’ days.”

Let’s see to it, shall we?

But, at the very same time, ask yourself if YOUR Senator, YOUR Congressman or woman, are joining in the beating of the war drums against Iran.

If so, wake TF up.

I’d love to be a fly on that wall.

Novak wants it to be all about the I word.

But it is really all about the C word.

Corruption.

Absolutely…when cornered these guys routinely fall back on ineptitude meme but this, as Josh Marshall has so eloquently pointed out, is about deliberate political interference with the justice system. This is about a c word: Criminal activity.

Interesting to watch them starting to eat their own. We are watching the beginning of Republican Cannibalism.

I have been waiting six years for the GOP to start eating its own. I am going to enjoy the last two years of BushCo.

NOVAKULA!

Yoo is asked to comment on Monica’s use of 5th Amendment. “You can’t blame her! She saw what happened to Libby when just one misplaced word can get you convicted of perjury in a federal court.”

I know it’s garbage, but still…shiny object mental candy…just what ‘word’ does he have in mind? Ah fugeddaboutit. Why should I care what any of those war criminals and their apologist journalist friends have to say.

It was also interesting to see Joe “Boris” DiGenova come out slamming Gonzo — slamming him for “inaccurate” testimony to Congress is just the delicious hypocritical icing on the rancid cake baked at home by wifey “Natasha.”

Lily Tomlin once said that even if you win the rat-race you’re still a rat. In this case, even if you’re a rat leaving a sinking ship, you’re still a Republican.

Those aren’t jowls, they’re the creases bush’s balls have left on his face….

Of course, in the minds of people like Dick Cheney, what they have accomplished in six years in the White House has been a roaring success, with the “culture of corruption and deceit” Republicans having “managed” to divert billions of dollars of taxpayer money into the bank accounts of their Republican crony pals, whether in the defense industry, right-wing religious organizations or their own pockets.

A roaring success…in their warped and twisted way of thinking. A disaster for our democracy, but a roaring success for those out to destroy our great nation’s fiscal health and constitutional principles. Hell, it almost makes a person nostalgic for the “good ol’ days” of the Nixon administration. Compared to the “culture of corruption and greed” Republicans in the White House today, Richard Nixon actually had some principles about him, and some honorable Republicans serving beside him. But, alas, the racists, the homophobes, the religious fanatics and the corporate greed-meisters took over the Republican Party and corrupted it to its core.
