Funny, I don’t remember anyone but idiot Republicans being that pissed off about that 90’s crime bill. So is Luntz saying that the parallel between then and now is that, since idiot Republicans now are pissed off in the same way that idiot Republicans were pissed off then, that the 2002 election will go strong for the idiot Republicans the way the 1994 election did? And, more importantly, that the bill that pisses the idiot Republicans off so much is going to pass?

(Yes, I know, “Idiot Republicans” is an oxymoron.)

“Idiot Republicans” is a redundancy. “Intelligent Republicans” would be an oxymoron.

Time for some Douthanasia — it’s how all the kewl kids kill brain cells nowadays….

”Angry centrism”?

Inelegant, unlikely, currently imaginary.

Douthat anxiously awaits his third insight into life and politics. Take solace, Ross, from Kristol’s longevity despite the fact that he had only one.

I had to do it. I just HAD to click on the link ‘coz I couldn’t quite get the gist of the shorter asshat. I skimmed two paragraphs before my eyes glazed over in a glaucoma-like state that could only be cleared by smoking some weed.

Never again. No matter how opaque the shorter asshat is, I will never again click on the link. Please, god, let me be strong in this matter.

Yea, the public just learned more about the crime bill, like it learned more about the health care bill, and like it’s now learning more about pending health care reform, and got all upset. Not one word about the reality: Republican operatives and big media pundits lied, distorted and ridiculed the attempts to improve our lives until it was OK for concervative Democrats to side with their conservative Republican colleagues and screw us. And Frank Fucking Luntz was one of the biggest liars and dissemblers with his phoney fucking polls. If Douchehat is too young to remember how Clinton’s agenda was mocked and distorted from Day One, maybe he could do a little reading. Maybe then he wouldn’t rely on the word of Frank Fucking Luntz.

D’oh! That’s what I get for late-night, uncaffeinated commenting.

Re not clicking away from the shorter: over at Sadly, No! they invoke Frederick Forrest in Apocalypse Now: Never get out of the boat. Stay in the fucking boat.

HTH.
