QUOTE OF THE DAY
"Mitt Romney is Nixon on Prozac. Giuliani is Nixon on crystal meth."
John Dean addressing the Netroots Nation conference held in Austin, Texas last week.
The former White House Counsel and attorney for Richard M. Nixon was commenting upon some of the top possible vice presidential choices for John Sydney McCain when he made this observation.
The absolute catastrophe that is today's republican party — from the top of the ticket down to races for local dog catcher — is just so fucking schadenfreudalicious that I find myself actively kvelling every time I think about Election Day in November.

Yet, still the kool aid drinkers support this GOP party of corruption. Not a day goes past that I don't get an email from brother-in-law that highlights some kind of faux outrage done by the liberals, democrats or anybody else. Never ever any hard core facts. Just made up stories, and nonsense. These idiots will never recognize the crimes, lies, perfidity, venality, shit-eaters that are the neocon Republithugs.

You assume there will be an election day. Considering how King George II and his court have been acting,I wouldn't be a bit surprised if he found some legal justification to suspend the voting process and just anoint McSame his successor…and have a 5-4 majority of the Supreme Court go along with it. Or was it the Emperors of Rome who behaved that way? Sometimes I get my monarchs SO confused.

I took care of my paralyzed mom for 12 years (worked at night, when she had sitters). Part of our entertainment during the day in 1974 was the Watergate hearings – gavel to gavel. If Senator Sam said 9am, we were there. He said "lunch" we went to lunch, back at 2pm- we were there with bells on. It wasn't so much entertainment (although there were moments). It was an attempt by our government to prove that it actually worked. And by God it did. Sumbitch. It was an education. And a privilege to see it *all*. I liked Dean then. A scrawy lawyer tellin' the bigger-than-life asshole Nixon that there was a "cancer on the presidency" – You gotta admire balls like that. And he's really bloomed into a real honest-to-god person in the last couple of years. Just like his quotes at NetRoots. I *like* him. And, ok… as much as you can trust a *lawyer* — spare me the jokes- I trust his assessment of those asses. Too bad we don't have somebody like Dean in the WH now. I'd have the lawnchair out, the lemonade made, and my ITMFA hat on, ready for the gavel to go down on the first session!!
