Okay, I know that below the belt mudslinging is part and parcel of political campaigns. But usually, the party doing the mud slinging tries to stay above the fray, giving the good old "who, me?" dumb look when accused of negative advertising. So, you have to love the smell of pure desperation at the front page announcement of the Republican's plan to spend 45 million in a last minute mud fest against their democratic candidates.
Really. Heck, I know their plan is going to work - I mean, how can it not? But rarely are we subjected to the sheer spectacle of Snidley Whiplash holding our collective mortgage and telling everyone that can listen that he's going to tie Nell Fenwick up to the rail road tracks and is simply daring Dudly Do-Right to fall into the trap.
Hilarious!
And as I said, this silly plan will actually work. The American people seem to really be a perfect combination of stupid enough, scared enough, lazy enough and simply don't care enough to hold these jokers accountable. Hell, just this morning Condi and the Big Dog Dick were on the circuit directly lying about Saddam and his non-existent ties with Al Qaeda. Stunning, really. They really feel so confident that no one is going to call them on this shit that they're willing to go on national television and simply flat out lie.
And pulling off this election is going to be yet another feather in the Third Stage Guild Navigator that we know simply as Karl Rove. Like the Guild Navigators of Dune, Rove pulls off his tricks without really doing anything. They traveled without moving. Rove keeps his Republican majority by simply staying the course.
Well, and that 45 million bucks backing them up doesn't hurt.
