Quote of the Every Week or So

"A man may take to drink because he feels himself to be a failure, but then fail all the more completely because he drinks," George Orwell once observed. This seems to capture nicely the dynamic of the Democrats' shame spiral. Success in politics is measured by winning elections. On this score, Democrats have been failures for a while now. In response, they're getting drunk on a brew of partisanship and Bush-hating.

I thought at first that this was a reference to the Moron in Chief's drinking problem.

You mean Donkey? oh, my bad you mean the President Of The United States. Yeah, well if he's a moron, i want to be one too. I like his big white house, and all his fun toys, like Air Force One, and stuff like that. So gary, if he's a moron and he's also the most powerful man in the world, what does that make you?

Ah, drinking...the cause and solution to all our problems.

It seems to me that 'morons' make the best Presidents such as the 'big dumb actor' Reagan, while the Rhodes scholar Bubba and "nuclear physicist' Jimmy were complete and utter failures

Carter suffered udder failure...no wonder why he only makes penuts! That was so bad, it was like that famous Dennis Miller joke, "I don't want to go on a rant, here, but America's foreign policy makes about as much sense as Beowulf having sex with Robert Fulton at the first battle of Antietam. I mean when a neo-conservative defenestrates it's like Raskolnikov filibuster deoxymonohydroxinate"
