Lemme introduce you to a friend of mine, he's called PR

Weird news from this side of the pond. The Republicans seem to be undergoing some sort of meltdown.

First, I heard about the incident (in a previous post) where Pres. Bush basically told the American people that their opinions didn't matter.

Oopsie.

Then radio talking-head, hate mongeror and darling of the right, Rush Limbaugh, had the total and utter stupidity to attack Michael J Fox - he of the Back To The Future, Spin City, Doc Hollywood, and, more recently, breaking our hearts with his courageous fight against Parkinson's - by accusing the pint-sized, yet lovable actor of faking his symptoms to garner sympathy. in a recent set of ads to support stem-cell research.

Double oopsie.

Then we learn that Wyoming Republican Representative Barbera Cubin said to Thomas Rankin, the Libertarian candidate who is challenging her seat next month, "If you weren't sitting in that chair, I'd slap you across the face."

Rankin is in a wheelchair.

Day-um.

Then there's Jim Gibbons, Republican candidate for the Governor's job in Nevada. Hates illegal immigrants, talks tough on illegal immigration, employs an illegal immigrant for years.

Uh-oh.

Of course, the biggest story is Mark Foley. I probably don't have to provide links for that name. He's the dude who was up to no good with some of the under-age pages in DC.

Okay, remember when the Conservative party went under in Britain? What happened? Years of incompetence and nothing happened. Years of screwing us out of everything and nothing happened. Years of running Britain into the crapper and nobody lifted a finger! A few months of serious, complete, constant, and unending scandals and they've not seen office since.

The outlook is not good.

Although, a word of warning to my American chums. We replaced the Conservatives with Blair and his cronies. And we've all seen how that clusterfuck worked out.

Don't bank on the Democrats riding to the rescue on a white charger and putting the world to rights with a wave of a magic wand.

Remember, no matter who you vote for, the government always gets in.
