Right-Wing Fairy Tales

The inevitable Glenn Reynolds:

It's true, of course, that the Democrats are worse, and if you had any doubt about that, the creepy sexual McCarthyism that we've seen this week would be proof enough.

I'm not sure what "sexual McCarthyism" is, or which Democrats have been espousing it. It's the Republican theocrats who are calling for witch hunts, after all -- but then, that's normal, I guess. (If Republicans do it, it's OK.)

Of course, it's kind of a stretch to believe that, "of course," Democrats are worse than hypocritical, dishonest, lying, money-grubbing congressmen, senators, and administration officials who wouldn't know a coherent policy from a fire hydrant, have legalized torture, have damn near made George W. Bush a divine-right king, who nearly cum in their pants at seeing Our Leader, who think it's OK for congressmen to be harassing pages as long as no one outisde the club knows about it, who have handed the treasury to their corporate supporters, have done everything they can do to trash the economy, the environment, and the lives of private citizens.

Given the strength of the economy and the general success of the war on terror, congressional Republicans should be in pretty good shape.

Have you stopped laughing yet? On the economy, since the indicators seem to be built largely on the performance of the stock market, I take them with a grain of salt. I guess the economy is fine if you're an investor, but if you actually have to work for a living, it's a different story. Oh, and the housing market is starting to tank.

The "general success" of the war on terror? There must be an infinite supply of Kool Aid somewhere.

Because if the future of Western civilization is at stake, you shouldn't blow your credibility on pork and pocket-stuffing.

Take yourself pretty seriously, much?

This is just another reason that Reynolds is in the "Alternate Realities" listing.

What an ass.
