As the Republicans fight over whether they should take back America by being super conservative or supery dupery conservative. it's nice that they settled on one thing.  It's safe to hate Hillary again.

Lacking a coherent strategy for explaining and justifying the Bush Doctrine, the last option for the party in shambles is obstruction and taking on their favorite bête noir and the future face of U.S. diplomacy, Hillary Clinton.

Pointless obstructionism.  Check.

Obsessing over Hillary. Check.

Now what else is it that Republicans do?  Oh yeah.

...galvanize their base with the threat of America becoming "Europe." You'd expect nothing less from the party that brought you "freedom fries" and "cheese-eating-surrender-monkeys." Mitt Romney, already plotting for 2012, accidentally released his 2008 campaign strategy, which included the bumper sticker slogan "Hillary=France." No doubt a gem he plans to recycle for 2012.

So the Grand Old Plan is to gather around and tell each other jokes about Frenchies and laugh over Hillary's latest hairstyle. Sort of a hot stove league for Republicans out of power -- and about as likely to get them back into the job of running the government as grousing about the Yankee's problems at the plate is to net a manager spot for the guy next to you at Dunkin' Donuts.
