That is a painful paradox. Though at least it's better than the more common painful paradox Republicans find themselves in -- suddenly offering 20 dollars to an undercover policeman if he'll let you perform fellatio on him.
Maybe that has something to do with getting on the road to recovery. Hopefully it will happen soon, because the system set up by our founding fathers depends upon a strong, viable opposition party working in a bipartisan manner for productive solutions. Kidding! Had you going there, though. No, it's really in everybody's interest that the GOP stays just like it is -- they were always more fun than Democrats, but now they're no longer a threat to destroy the world.
So we'd prefer they stay just the way they are. But in the bipartisan spirit of the day, if they do want to come back, here's our Six Suggestions For the Republicans to Recover...
1) Renounce and reject Elisabeth Hasselbeck.
2) Change names to Democratz.
3) Announce appointment of Joe as Plumbing Czar
4) Spin off "Racist Republican Party" as a separate organization
5) Field dress Sarah Palin.
6) Become a lesbian for a while
