This Sad, Grotesque and Terrible Dance


Image licensed under Creative Commons by billypalooza


This sad, grotesque and terrible dance we are witnessing in the ranks of the GOP, Donald Trump's business and ranks, torture, waterboarding ranks and other affairs. We couldn't belive the new segment introduced on MSNBC's Countdown with Keith Olbermann. Should the travails of Carrie Prejean (she's already got her own page in the Wikipedia, see the link...) really have been the first story for this new segment? And remember the failure of a previous new Keith segment -"Worst Person of the Week"? Seems that one got buried and so should this one - if the censors don't find reasons to take it off the air first.




And why is our favorite GOP Chairman (Michael Steele) running interference on another Republican - again - namely, Mitt Romney. We don't think Mr. Romney is one to be trifled with. Just look what happened when Mr. Steele trifled with Rush Limbaugh, the Democratic Party, abortion, hats and others. Remember the "hat flap"? The man is pure comedy genius. Now shouldn't he be running interference on Dick Cheney and his recent takes on torture, waterboarding and protecting the US? Isn't the man kind of going "off message" here? Would Mr. Steele score big points if he somehow stepped in and got Mr. Cheney off of the soapbox? Shouldn't he be defending his party? Mr. Steele, these are not insults or aspersions on your character, we love you.




We half-expect Sarah Palin to raise her head at one terrible point and sound off "Gaaaaahhhhh"! More comedy is what is needed here...in this sad and terrible dance of confusion and miscues and the like. Oh, that would be the perfect GOP Presidential ticket... The comedienne from Wasilla and the "hatmaster"! Oh, please! We're begging you! Three words: Pure. Comedy. Gold. Our senior editor (if he's still alive, would switch political parties just to vote for that ticket, he swears...) If weren't all such grotesquerie, it would be Pythonesque. However, the real soon-to-be-exposed hat master (or ringmaster - we expect) is Mr. Romney. And he will surely get his hat back in the ring. And that's a sobering thought.




And we are deeply concerned that Madame Pelosi may have seen some memos exposing the use of torture (which me mention again, Mr. Zelikow did proud by fighting the torture cause). We're not concerned about Ms. Pelosi, there must be a way out of this for her and her fellow Senators... They've got the memos, and they can use them. Next come the photos. What sad evidence will we have in those? We're desperately waiting for the findings on the Sheldon Whitehouse hearings. This could get bigger than Watergate, we're hoping, sort of... Our senior editor was around, and he remembers that one and believes this is much, much bigger. Hunter where are you when we need you the most? To quote the late, great Mr. Thompson it is "a sad and terrible spectacle"...and all bets are off. Res ipsa loquitor.
