Why are the right wing Old Farts on a Farting Overdrive mode?

[TheCoxwain]

They have bought William Safire out of retirement after a disastrous Op-Ed piece by David Brooks. The good news is that he is showing all the signs of advanced senility which brings to focus as to why he was sent into retirement in the first place.

David Broder is showing similar tendencies here which begs the question - Should he be also made to walk the plank?

Why are these assholes trying to make a Pig's ear out of a silk purse? Does it belie a sense of panic, and I dare say despair, among the republican ranks?

Looking at the state by state Zogby - I guess it does

1. It ain't over yet. And, hopefully the military is still patriots (used in the old fashioned way)

2. BECAUSE THEY ARE LOSING!!!

Because their ship is going down without a captain. Because their paper fortunes are nibbled and shredded by the credit crunch mice. Because the glory and the honor will never fall upon them. Becaues they look awful in stripes and OSHA orange. Because they are too paunchy for jumpsuits.

It's a quality of life issue, man! As in, they aren't going to have any, anymore.

3. It's called "thrashing around" and "grasping at straws".

Or: "Looking for something that will give you a little traction."

4. I KNEW IT .....WOOOOHOOOOOO

The first line of the op-ed piece from biggest asshole confirms that republicans were indeed shitting in their underpants
