I'm rarely grossed out when it comes to politics...but this one turned my stomach!
How grotesque. Bushbot Congressman Christopher Shays (R-CT)planted a big wet one on the lame duck failure known as George "W"orthless Bush. It's a good thing Bush was facing Shays, because if Bush had had his Back to him, you know where that kiss would have landed! I can't think of a better 30 second TV ad for Shay's opponent in 2008. What is it with Connecticut Republicans, and yes, I consider Joe Lieberman a republican, planting kisses on Bush. Do you think they all do the Larry Craig toe tap in the Capitol stalls? Lieberman will always be remembered for his kissing of Bush more than he will be remembered as a Vice Presidential candidate.
Now to be sure, I never give Bushbot republicans enough credit for showing the country how out of touch they are with the voting public, and just when it gets really bad, they step right up to the plate and give an Oscar winning performance. Shays barely won his seat in 2006, and this "kiss" should put an end to the very lackluster career of Shays, whom I think is best know for his emotional breakdown in 2006, just before the election when he cried..and yes, that cry probably did help him win the election, just as this "kiss will probably be his undoing. Chalk one more up to the Democrats in the 2008 congressional race, now all that remains to be changed is the Senate seat of Joe Lieberman along with the changing of the guard at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.
With the current bitter war raging in Florida between McCain and Romney, the awful SOTU speech tonight and Christopher Shays wet kiss on Bush's cheek, it seems the Republicans have learned the strategic fine points of the famed "circular firing squad" Ready, aim...fire.
