Bad Week to Be a Republican

Before I go to NYC, one last thought: it’s been a good week. Rove, Frist, DeLay and God’s lil’ buddy W himself are all in hot water. Ann Coulter and Andrew Sullivan have even had enough of them. If God’s not a Democrat, then it’s good to know he’s also not a Republican.

I have been remiss in my blog the past few weeks (well, okay, since I started it) because I really have not covered the mess that the leaders of the Republican party have gotten themselves into.

Things are looking bad for W and his cronies. In fact, cronies are the key word here. He picked Church Lady to sit on the Supreme Court just because she thinks he’s the most brilliant man she ever met. Considering her previous job as head of the state lottery, this is not saying much.

I’ve said it before, but does W ever review resumes when there’s a job opening? If another Supreme Court Justice dies or steps down, I’m betting Laura gets nominated. After all, she was a librarian, so she must read, a concept as foreign to W as, well, picking a qualified candidate.

While we’re on the subject of people behaving badly, isn’t the Government giving NOLA about a gazillion dollars so they can rebuild? What’s with them laying off 3,000 people? Isn’t that the sort of thing the money is for? I mean it’s great that the French Quarter is open and we tourists can get drunk off our foot-long Hurrican Katrina, but how are you going to rebuild a city when the lady who you pay your parking tickets to has been fired?

One last thought: Is it possible that W’s crones put out this new terrorists threat to take the heat off of them? That’s what the Conventional Wisdom is saying. If this is true, then Rove has lost his touch. The brilliant marketing guy has run out of marketing ideas.

Geez, this means the country is without a head marketer. Do you think President Cheney would hire me?
