You have to wonder if their estimation of the American public's intelligence has gotten so low that they think people won't notice that they're the people standing in the way of doing something. Doing nothing? That got tried after the invasion of Baghdad (why secure weapons that are going to be used by unemployed Iraqi soldiers to kill our guys), the entire gulf coast and in New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina, and in the buildup to the inevitable financial meltdown we're living through now. Doing nothing is what Republicans believe in and are good at. Doing nothing will keep them out of power for a good, long time.

It's called the Hoover Strategy.

@Mediahohoho: I would amend that to say they do nothing for the good of the country. They're remarkably good at making their rich buddies richer and shafting everyone else, all the while droning on about God and country and all that other Vaterland shit das Volk laps up.

@Mediahohoho: @tammyfey: Exactly, every decision Bush made was based on how much money his buddies(and later a kickback for himself).

No Child Left Behind was his "greatest success" because: 1. It did not directly kill any people (as far as we know)

2. His brother has made millions, if not billions, as the main contractor providing materials and tests. (How much will be kicked back to W and Laura?)

This is like backseat drivers - if the drivers had crashed the car, gotten into the backseat, began eating McDonald's while whining with their mouths full, "No, mrrrmf, that's not how you, uh, jump start a car, y'gotta attach the cables to yer nuts"

Why is that mucilagenous shart-bag Turd Blossom still given a forum, anywhere? The only thing I want to hear out of that lardmass is his upcoming deposition.

@tammyfey: I'd like to hear his skin crackling as he rotates over a large rotisserie, ocassionally basted with the blood of Sean Hannity, and a dash of cumin.

If you left Karl Rove and Dick Cheney alone in a room for 24 hours, who would be the first to shoot whom in the face?

ps: That thing about Axelrod wearing a "Moustache Rides $1" t-shirt? He is a winner!

@pufflehuff: When the gal in the middle complained that Rove shot her in the right thigh, he told her "that's not a gunshot wound, Gladys. That's just your patriotism spillin' out of ya! I'll go get a freedom bandage. Now shut the fuck up and file my horns down. I don't want the others to see."

I like it! In fact I like it so much that I wish Obama would require his people to belittle Karl Rove at every possible opportunity.

After trying to kowtow to these guys for a couple of weeks in this vain attempt at "bipartisanship", it's obviously the new strategy now to point out that these idiots are the ones responsible for this mess at every possible turn. We saw it in the Obama presser, we saw it on the Sunday talk shows, and we see it here.

And it's a good strategy. The entire Republican strategy seems to rely on the ludicrously short memory Americans have, so the fact that the same people that broke everything are now attempting to give advice on how to fix it needs to be pointed out on a daily basis.

@badasscat: Wait a minute. You seem to be disputing the facts that (1) everything good that happened in the world in the last 25 years was a direct result of the policies of Reagan, Bush I and Bush II and (2) everything bad that happened in the world in the last 16 years was the direct result of Bill Clinton's birth. I won't hear it!
