The ReTHUGlicans are LOST — firing aimlessly in all directions, and the Democrats are trying to kick them in the groin while they’re down, by making Rush Limbaugh and Gov. Sarah Palin the new faces of the Republican party – but will it work? [SEE VIDEO BELOW]

At the ten minute mark of the tape, Republican Dick Armey tells Joan Walsh of Salon.com: “I’m Damn Glad You Can Never Be My Wife.”

I really doubt if Dick Dick Armey’s GUN BARREL and MAGAZINE have anything left in them — with or without VIAGRA!!

Here is a sample of how bad it is for the Republicans: Norm Coleman who is fighting a bitter RECOUNT battle with Democrat Al Franken for the Minnesota Senate seat: FAKED A WEBSITE CRASH!

Here is the MEAT:

But what do Republicans do? Who are they?

Bob Cesca notes:

President Obama’s “I won” remark indicates that there’s a limit to both his benevolence and his tolerance for Republican silly season hackery. “I won” means that he won’t be played and he won’t be taken advantage of. But the Republicans have miscalculated and misinterpreted the president, believing that “bipartisanship” means Democratic capitulation. Save for a few concessions in an otherwise massive spending bill, President Obama isn’t calling for any half-and-half bipartisan compromise on this or anything else so far. His process with the Republicans is all about attaining some civility in the tone of the debate — not caving. There’s a difference. And in that process, the president is looking increasingly presidential as his style is contrasted against the smallness of the Republicans.

With nothing new to offer, the customary BUSH-STYLE fear-mongering is making a comeback:

Obama will release GITMO TERRORISTS into your neighborhoods!!! ….. Screamed SEAN HANNITY — THE SICKEST MOTHERFUCKER ON TV!

From NewsHounds.US:

Tuesday evening’s FoxNews.com front page featured a photo montage of a fiery bomb blast, a former Guantanamo detainee, and the words, “Gitmo Detainee Freed, Kills 12 in Iraq Bombing: RETURNED TO TERROR.”

Underneath the photo, the headline reads, “As Obama administration mulls plans to close Guantanamo Bay, one former detainee’s martyrdom serves as a cautionary tale.” Under that, there is a link to the feature story, plus another : “Obama Tells Muslims: U.S. Not Your Enemy”. (After the screenshot was taken, the latter headline was changed to “Obama Signals Break with Past, Reaches Out to Muslims”, and this one was added: “Puerto Rico turns its back on Guantanamo Bay Prisoners.”) — [ MORE ]

That’s the current state of the GOP, the Grand Oil Party — Impotent and confused!

Unless we make America the country most able to innovate, compete and win in the age of globalization, our leverage in the world will continue to slowly erode.

Writes: THOMAS L. FRIEDMAN

Why would Republicans, the party of business, want to focus our country on breathing life into a 19th-century technology — fossil fuels — rather than giving birth to a 21st-century technology — renewable energy?

As I have argued before, it reminds me of someone who, on the eve of the I.T. revolution — on the eve of PCs and the Internet — is pounding the table for America to make more I.B.M. typewriters and carbon paper. “Typewriters, baby, typewriters.”

   [Cartoon By: David Horsey]

Of course, we’re going to need oil for many years, but instead of exalting that — with “drill, baby, drill” — why not throw all our energy into innovating a whole new industry of clean power with the mantra “invent, baby, invent?” That is what a party committed to “change” would really be doing. As they say in Texas: “If all you ever do is all you’ve ever done, then all you’ll ever get is all you ever got.” ….[ read more ]
