#1 Well written Fred....In 2 years you won't find anyone who will admit to voting for Bambi and maybe some sanity and conservatism will re-emerge.

#4 Now, though, the mask is off and the disconnect between rhetoric and reality is emerging

The "mask" was always OFF, if you took time to conduct a thoughtful analysis.

#5 "The "mask" was always OFF, if you took time to conduct a thoughtful analysis"

The time being 10 minutes if you wanted to do a really careful job.

#9 Obama aside, any liberal Democrat would have been trouble with Pelosi and Reid pushing bills his/her way.

#12 I think that the comparison to Carter is insulting to Carter, and I loathe Carter.

#14 Sherry, that almost makes me wish for the scenario at the end of Tom Clancy's book Debt of Honor. (A crazed Japanese pilot crashes a 747 into the capitol building just after Jack Ryan is sworn in as vice president (having replaced the corrupt vice president), killing the President, the Supreme Court, most cabinet secretaries, and both houses of Congress.)

#15 Hmmmm.

After Obama and Biden resign for ~~mental~~ health reasons, wonder what Shrillery's got on Pelosi to force her to resign in Shrillery's favor? (Byrd doesn't count - even he will agree he's too ~~demented~~ old.)

You just know it's gotta be juicy.

Nancy, if it rolls down to you, don't go anywhere near Ft. Marcy Park.

Just sayin'....
