Sweet Cheezis...! Just when I was starting to think that things couldn't POSSIBLY get any worse...!

As if it isn't bad enough that the Sock Puppet wants to drive the U.S. into a brick wall at 90 miles per hour... Now Mr. Newt "Contract On..." -- excuse me -- "Contract With America" Gingrich is considering the possibilities of kicking it up a notch!!!

Apparently a nation where the top 1% of the population controls 38% of the wealth isn't divided enough. One where the top .01% -- 13,000 families -- have more income than the poorest 20,000,000 families isn't inequitable enough. One where we are actively considering encouraging people to replace part of their Social Security insurance with exactly the sort of stock market speculation that Social Security was designed to avoid isn't insane enough! One where we have taken the wave of world-wide goodwill towards us after the September 11th attacks and squandered it in the three years since -- culminating in our (mis)Administration's ill-advised adventurism in Iraq -- just so that the Sock Puppet could prove that his plums are bigger than his father's -- wasn't disastrous enough!!


NOO-o-o-o-o...

... I'm sorry... I'm blanking, here...I can't THINK of a word that's low enough to describe how I feel about Gingrich...

The mere act of calling this bottom-feeder a BOTTOM-FEEDER is an insult to every hard-working catfish in the continental United States!!!

I'm actually starting to think that maybe passing that "Let Arnold Run" constitutional amendment wouldn't be a totally moronic idea...!

(At least HE'D have Maria to slap him upside the head every so often!)

Hmmmmm... Maybe that's the Republicans' plan... Float the idea that they're even considering *THINKING ABOUT* letting this loathsome man run for President, and wait for the backlash that will turn Gov. Schwarzenegger (And how many times can I type that before my fingers choose to drop off of my hands under their own volition...?) into the warm and fuzzy alternative...!

... I'm sorry... I've got to quit before that vein throbbing in my forehead explodes...
