AND I THOUGHT THE GOP WAS IN A SLUMP LAST WEEK...
But NO, this week shapes up to be even crazier for our friends in God's Own Party.
A RECAP OF LAST WEEK IN THE GOP
Let's see, last week there was Jack Ryan being dropped like a hot potato from the GOP ticket for - as HE says - "propositioning his wife in an inappropriate place." Then the GOP released a campaign video which used the very clips of Hitler that they so loudly protested against when it was first aired by MoveOn.org.
And now...
I'D SAY KEEP YOUR DAY JOB MR. SECRETARY, BUT I DON'T WANT YOU TO HAVE THAT EITHER
Well, let's see. First of all, Secretary of State Colin Powell fails miserably at being a Song and Dance Man. The Village People? What WAS Powell thinking? If you haven't seen the video, CNN is playing it ad nauseam. It's hysterically ridiculous.
IF YOU CAN'T BEAT 'EM, BEAT 'EM
And THEN there's THIS lovely little gem from the Austin American-Statesman. Turns out a GOP Precinct Chair in Travis County was "physically removed" by a fellow Precinct Chair at a County Executive Committee Meeting. He's still recovering from his "removal."
This reminds me of one of the MANY reasons I switched from the GOP to the Democratic Party in 1994. My (then) husband and I were physically assaulted at our Precinct Convention, by members of our local megachurch who had "come to take over the Precinct from the godless infidels." Funny, I never realized my Presbyterian religion was considered "godless."
Sigh. Some weeks you gotta laugh to keep from crying...
