This is my firmly held opinion of the people who follow the lead of Barack Obama in the Executive Branch, the Legislative Branch, the Democratic Party, and the blogs. If you haven’t figured out by now that he is to the right of even the Blue Dogs and is only prepared to attack those on the left, you should just become Republicans and stop wasting the time, money, and energy of the progressive half of the electorate.

Ditto.
(Just kidding!)
But I’ll bet you get the joke.
How long will it take everyone else to catch on?
Thanks for all your fine writing/reporting.

It took me a minute to make the connection, Suzan, because I listen to less talk radio, than TV shows. I’m devoted to the printed word.
I am definitely losing patience with people who refuse to recognize Obama for the conservative he has always been.
Shorter Krauthammer:
“Pleeeeze, oh pleeeeeeze, don’t t’row me into dat briar patch, Br’er Obama!”
One is tempted to deconstruct this mess of right-wing nonsense, but really, it’s like trying to pick out the peanuts from a jarful of chunky peanut butter. Not worth the time. But you can get an idea of the hilarity by noting that Krauthammer starts off by advancing the notion that the Republicans had to be tricked into increasing spending while cutting taxes for rich folk. Excuse me while I try to catch my breath… 😆
Well, Cabbagethumper hasn’t been a sentient being for some time, and missed what Reagan and the two Bushs were up to, or what the Repubs always get up to when they have the power. If you accept supply-side economics you are already living among the leprechauns.
K really is… special. Sometimes it’s obvious that he’s just parroting the latest talking points, like any other rider on the right-wing gravy train. Other days he seems to be authentically as crazy as a shithouse rat. Reading his columns on a regular basis must be like meeting Cthulhu in a dark alley… that way lies Madness! And leprechauns!
The columns that he writes in his role as a shrink are truly works of wonder. You have to wonder if he is still allowed to practice after you read him, especially when he decides to analyze people he has never met or talked to in any professional setting. There must be some type of ethical rules involved in the profession.
Of course living inside the Beltway is a good deal like being committed to expensive private asylum, but someone should tell them that they are patients.
