JESUS CAMP SHUTTING DOWN, CHAFEE SWITCHING PARTIES (A LITTLE LATE), FAR RIGHT BLAMING GOP FOR NOT BEING FAR RIGHT ENOUGH... ETC

Bush Rove and Cheney have apparently decided to go on the offensive immediately, announcing that they would throw out the Bolton confirmation red herring just to spoil any chances of bipartisanship. The first senator to re-bring-up Bolton's unsuitability for office and declare that he would vote "no," was defeated Republican Senator Lincoln Chafee,    who is already thinking of switching parties (something that would have saved his seat had he done it last year when Harry Reid made him an attractive offer).


Meanwhile, the Republican blame game and civil war has begun as the right tries to find the appropriate fall guys. Oxycontin-addict and GOP propaganda mouthpiece, Rush Limbaugh is leading the chorus of those crying that they weren't right wing and extremist enough. Dick Armey points to the disenchantment from the conservative base with Bush's consolidation of federal power and how he's grown the government (albeit a near bankrupt one). GOP religionist operative, James Dobson, as expected, says the Republicans weren't extreme enough on social policies and called for a jihad against... well, basically everyone who isn't one of his braindead followers. The lunatic fringe represented by Dobson and the other fake religious leaders is expected to lose influence inside the GOP, especially after their most prominent member, Ted Haggard, was caught up in a whirlwind of meth and male prostitutes that has been going on for all the years he has been screaming his anti-gay filth. Even the fanatics who run the bizarre Jesus Camp brain-washing facility where children were taught to worship a cardboard cutout of Bush and to fill their hearts with hatred, have called it quits and are closing the camp down.

The easiest target, Rumsfeld, was already fired, although, of course, he's just a symbol of what voters were upset about. Some of his closest allies' heads are also slated for the chopping block. Another easy target is Ken Mehlman, especially now that he's be officially outed as another homophobic Republican closet queen.

By the way, did Drudge retire? Did McCain commit suicide? Or were those just more Republican lies?
