As if everyone didn’t know already, or at least those whose brains have not been rotted by Fox Noise and Glenn Beck, the GOP has latched upon a firm strategy for victory in the various Senate and House races this November, to wit—
1. President Obama does something (anything, as long as it rises to the level of a news item)
2. One after another GOP politician/apparatchik rises to cry that what the president has just done (whatever it is) was “wrong”, a “mistake”, “making the problem (whatever it is) worse”, “playing into the hands of (a. The Taliban b. Al Qaeda c. Al Bundy)”, “selling America out”, “treasonous”, “more evidence that he hates America”, and then calls for impeachment.
The good news is that the Bergdahl release has suddenly made the Benghazi farce old news. Nobody is going to listen to stale old CPSU boilerplate enemy-of-the-people bullshit when they have fresh new turds to dig through! I predict that as the GOP whips up the Bergdahl frenzy interest in the House hearings on Benghazi will dry up and blow away in two days.
As Stephen Colbert says, the GOP has gone from “the party of Just Say No to drugs to the party of Just Say No to everything”. Including governance. Especially governance.
Why, oh why, is the GOP still considered worthy of anything but ridicule?
