George Will tries to spin it positive for GOP election successes

[Sparkly]

I just love starting my morning cracking up at a rightwing hack! Today's Washington Post has Broder and Novak too, but this one's priceless. It's called "The Road to a GOP House." Yup -- he's rallying the wingnuts with rationalizations about how they can win back the house. I'm not saying they can't, but it strikes me as an odd effort at optimism this far ahead, while the GOP continues daily to show themselves for the corrupt, incompetent asswipes they are.

Anyway, his brilliant analysis includes:

...61 Democrats represent districts that George W. Bush carried in 2004. A 16-seat gain in 2008 would restore Republican control to the House.

I'm surprised they aren't popping the champagne corks right NOW!

...(A)fter Republicans lost 48 House seats in 1958, they gained 21 seats in 1960, when John Kennedy was narrowly elected president.

Well cancel tonight's debates -- with gains like that, the GOP don't need no stinkin' presidency!

And if Republicans do not win control of the House in 2008 and a Democrat is elected president, they have a really excellent chance of capturing the House in 2010, because the party that wins the presidency usually loses House seats in the next midterm election.

I'll bet the thought of winning the House in 2010 put a grin on many a Republican face this morning, huh?

1. And if it doesn't work out in 2010, I'll write a column about 2012.

These guys are illiterate. Obviously can't read a poll to save their lives. Otherwise they would have overridden that veto yesterday, just as the American people wanted. Or they should have gone to the Time magazine poll and map that was up yesterday, the one where you can click on every state. Which I did, and found that only about 4 were on the * side of the blanket. What was even wilder was that some states, traditionally red, were 100% against *. I'll join you in that :rofl:

4. Uh, Mr. Will?

You might want to take a second look at those districts that George W. Bush carried in 2004. It seems that Mr. Bush's popularity has, shall we say, lessened somewhat since 2004, and public opinion about him and his job performance seems to have, er, cooled a bit.

But other than that, I have no doubt that Mr. Will is absolutely, completely, and totally correct. Wait, is "correct" the word I want? No, I mean "blowing it out his ass." Yeah, that's it.
