Can I get a witless?
Ed Naha | February 12, 2009



Watching disconnected Congressional Republicans demonstrate their "trickle down" theory by using their pants legs the last two weeks has been a thing of perverse beauty. Their anti-stimulus rants have been evocative of classic Mel Brooks circa "History of the World: Part I," wherein King Louis' lackey runs into the arrogant King's throne room.

Count De Monet: "Your majesty, the peasants are revolting!"

King Louis: "That's right! They stink on ice!"

While it may be good to be the king, it's notso hotso being a Republican obstructionist these days.

Earlier this week, "The Washington Post" ran an article with the headline: "GOP Sees Positives In Negative Stand." That same day, a Gallup Poll found that sixty-seven percent of Americans backed Obama's economic efforts. Only thirty-one percent backed Congressional Republican efforts. In fact, when asked if they disapproved of Congressional Republicans, a "staggeringly high" fifty-eight percent of us peasants gave them the Bronx cheer.

While it's pretty apparent that the Republican Party, as a whole, is in one - they persist in digging it deeper.

They have no idea of how bad things are for regular folks, and they're damned proud of it.

So as realists battle to drag the stimulus bill into law, Republican ideologues cavort with the economic elves in their heads, spreading tax-cut fever wherever they go.

They've shot themselves in the foot on this one.

They've shown their total disregard for the plight of the American people.

The American people realize this.

The Republicans don't.

What can you say about a group of folks that refuses to acknowledge its myopic vision has destroyed the financial stability of an entire nation?

How about: "They stink on ice?"

1. They remind me of Sarah Palin.

She was so good for us and she never knew it. Now, the entire republic party is behaving in just as pigheaded and ignorant a manner. And they're too stupid and greedy to understand that they're just hanging themselves. We don't even need to encourage them--but I want to, anyway:

You go, republics!
