This somewhat supplements *BriVT*'s excellent, current Front-Pager and expands on a comment I posted thereon.
It will only get nastier. And soon.
The Radical Right, which has highjacked the GOP, is not in its "last throes", but it is certainly on the defensive: the curtain has been about 2/3 pulled back on this Organized Crime Ring that's almost as feckless in its ability to effectively manage government, as it is mendacious in its looting of the treasury and screwing of the American People.
That said, Baghdad Scott will only get bolder in his lying; Hannity's, Savage's, Limbaugh's, Coulter's, et (m)al screams and grunts against Americans will only get more hyperbolic; Hastert, Frist, Cornyn, Hatch, Sessions and the other Way Far Gone Cats spewing their venom from Capitol Hill will only get more vein-poppingly "outraged" at "obstrutionist Democrats" . . . in sum, it will get more weird and more aggressive: it is a cornered animal. It's scared. It's tested positive for rabies.
more . . .
Bush's High Crime of brazenly violating Federal Law in the FISA Scandal is a prelude: instead of running when caught red-handed in an impeachable offense, in a classically Rovic Way, it's now championing this High Crime as a virtue and calling those who still cling to their belief in that (to Bush) merely quaint, document, The Constitution, traitors and enablers of terrorists (Note: a twofer for Bush -- diverts attention from the fact that he and his war in Iraq has created and energized and trained untold thousands of terrorists). We're all through the looking glass now.
While part of me knows that there's "nothing new under the sun," my eyes and my head and my heart tell me that, at least in living memory, we are in utterly uncharted territory. It's spooky. But, let it not be forgotten, this is part of Rovism: ramp-up fear, then tell the fearful that they need to "Trust Dear Leader" to assuage that fear and protect the fearful from those who would threaten or hurt them. It's twisted. It's diabolical. But, friends, it's where we are. And, again, know that it's only going to get weirder.
Hang on and keep the faith: we're in for a bumpy ride. And remember, we wouldn't be experiencing this current wave of "pushback" from the Radical Right if we -- and the truth -- were not having an effect. And that's a good thing. Keep plugging away.
